It was about 1040pm Indo time when i was brushing my teeth,then did i see the below glass :
The water was taken from the tap inside my room at Gideon Hotel. Honestly,i got a shock and immediately took down a pic of the water in the glass i used to brush my teeth and post in in this thread. Now,what you guys seen is only part 1 of the water...let me show you part 2.
After the glass of tap water was left stationary for about 30secs,it becomes like the below picture :
Look carefully at the bottom part of the glass
Its the same glass of water i took from the tap but after around 30 secs,the whitish milk-like colour begin to clear up...and slowly turn it into crystal clear water. So,the water is actually not dirty. In fact i believe they added TOO MUCH chemical to clean the water (could be chlorine or fluoride or maybe more). Just remember,when you boil such water (water in Batam regardless which hotel),the boiling kills the germs and bacteria,but boiling do not remove the chemical and solid particles which cannot be seen by naked eyes inside the water. Do not drink from the tap,even after boiling.
After checking my room,i move off to change money at the money changer opposite formosa at 9500/SGD on 14th April 2015 (15th April 2015 was not as good) before heading to joint. I check out Orchid,Gold Bird,Permata Indah,New berry and MM. In the end pick a girl from New Berry and request for them to send it to my room by 530pm.
Afterwhich I head over to Lucky Plaza to buy my "money making" tools and at the same time check out the Indosat Mentari Internet surfing SIM card at 50k,top up another 25k + 2k (admin charge) to test the internet sim card speed.

(not commonly seen) How much to get the sim card? How is the top up like? All these information as in "how this sim card works" is still quite a mystery to me,even when i do read about it. I am sure it is useful info for other future cheongsters (and myself) in Batam,hehehe.... |
Please note i didnt quote "my" entire post,i only quoted what is necessary to bring out a point in my current post.
What i found out is this is the better sim card to surf the net,tho not the cheapest. I have personally test it out,speed and strength is acceptable. And it also comes with 25mins local talk time if i dont remeber wrong.I top up a little money becos i kiasu,anyway only S$2.63 more and this sim card will last 3 months,hehehe...and i can always top it up again. My main purpose was to have a Sim Card solely for surfing net in the event if i need to use google translate to "talk to" my girl when i am out of hotel,hehehe...not a bad idea,huh? S$8.10 (can be S$5.27)to help me communicate,kind of worth it. Anyway,i am at experimental stage currently.
