Hi,bro...if you do not have someone who are interested to join you in your upcoming trip,you can still run solo to Batam where a handful bro like myself feel is more fun and enjoyable. If you arent familiar with Batam and/or be confident enough to travel there alone,just bring the same mentality as your would have travel to Sentosa (with your passport,of course). And read my signature on the newbie guide to travel to Batam. You wont go very wrong.

Cheers and may you have an enjoyable trip.

Thank you bro for sharing this information. Gideon is my 2nd most favourite Hotel in Batam,even when i never stay there before (other bros did tho). I shall drop by there one day to double check if they have HDMI port. If there is HDMI,next time i no need bring speaker cable to Batam anymore,hehehe....

Thank you again.

Because electronic stuffs are very expensive in Sillypore. As long as one is not looking at the latest electronic gadget, i am kind of confident that Batam is cheaper than MOST electronic stores in Sillypore.I have made comparison with mega stores,like Courts,Best and Harvey (even Funan Center) in Sillypore versus Lucky Plaza,Nagoya Hill Mall etc on their non-latest gadgets. I wont even think of bringing bulky electronic items from Batam to Sillypore as there might be taxes incur and bringing back to Batam for repairs could be another hassle too.

Whether if it will be cheaper than Sim Lim Sq,i have yet to find out. Perhaps after my next 2 or 3 trips later,i may be able to share more or i may not share at all (hehehe...). Its one of the reason why i am seeking for more information on My Mart at Carnaval Mall (near Batam center) which i read is considered as an IT mall in Batam. If time allows,i will visit this place.

It doesnt take a genius to understand the fact that the rental of nearly all shops in Batam is at least close to 100 times cheaper as compare to Sim Lim Sq shops on their 1st 3 storeys facing escalators (and mall entrance),hehehe....

Cheers!
