Haha...bro,i go Batam for tour and some basic entertainment,4 person inside taxi very squeezy leh...lol...so my preference is, 3 is enough.

I am no drinker,smoking yes...so i have the tendency to link up with bros who are also in Batam at the same time with me for a short break,eg smoke,food,tcss etc. I am also allergic to sea food,so bros who usually jio me go batam together,i would choose to decline. Cannot always ask them to suit what i eat,not very nice too. I am still inexperience in Batam,don't speak Bahasa indo or Malay...which is another set back when it comes to entertainment. So all in all,i can be classified as lacking confidence,more afraid that i may become an extra weight to the party who goes together with me.

If i go Batam on my own,or occasionally with a fren or 2,they knows me well enough,and that i only have myself to be responsible to and i do not need to make sure if they'll be lost or if they have a good time or not. They are usually more experience than me or at least already have some basic knowledge of what they will be getting. So going to cheong with people you know and those you don't do have a difference.

To me,when it comes to Batam,it means work and relaxation all combined into a pool yet they are all within my control.Working w/o the environment restriction,meaning no one will look over my workstation,hence no stress,no pressure,no deadline to follow,nobody to hold me responsible for anything i did not right (if i do). Relaxation,means whenever i choose to,i can relax and enjoy my time when i am done with work. I can totally switch off. There are no time limitation as time seems to stand still. (i cant do all that in sillypore)

And that is what got me into visiting Batam at least once a month. To keep my mind off work ,yet still at work.

Cheers!
