Thank you.
If you read my towards end of last year's very 1st group trip. I had only 1 bro joining me as i didnt have confident to move around (also shy to meet up with stranger) yet,gradually after few group trips,things starts to loosen up as i gain more experience. i was able to anticipate better what are the upfront problems that i will be facing in a group trip (hence i have the
terms and conditions) and how to keep myself from straying away from my main objective. I am able to share what i learned with those in the group too.
As witness by many bros in so many of my group trips since last year 2014,monetary gain is definitely not one of my main objective (i am sure they have the intelligent to do the maths),in fact i lose some small change all the time in every trip. If newbies can play the "same game" (doing the exact same thing on their own) in Batam at a lower price going to the same places stated on my previous summaries,by all means they need not choose to join me.
To date, i owe nobody,hehehe...but got many people owe me teh botol,hehehe...
By far the lowest budget trip deal i seen so far is a bro who traveled solo via Sekupang Harbour,took a bus (4k rupiah) to Nagoya area,check in to a 1 or 2 star aging hotel and then walk around Batam to look for girls. Cost around S$400 for 4D3N (it includes ultra low cost ferry ticket and everything in). It can be done,however does the bros in the group REALLY wants that?
Today,since my last 4 to 5 group trips ago,most participants of the group trips gets to learn at least 1 thing they never would have learned in Batam,goes to places they themselves would never venture into when on their own for the 1st time. Also gets to know the "right button" to press at the right joints,hehehe...so as to be able to see the "incredible" (direct words from a bro in the last group),hehehe...most importantly,they MUST become more confident to venture to Batam on their own at a later time.

It used to be very stressful for me (it still is today at times),hehehe...cos everyone wants different thing,and i have my own schedule to meet,so today i only bring them around for the 1st half of the day,the other half belongs to myself. If they wish to join me in the 2nd half,by all means do so. If they dont,i wouldnt mind becos i count my duty completed after the 1st half. My next to fulfill duty will be on the next morning from breakfast onward. Their ability to pick up whats been shared and their safety is one of my main concern. And not forgetting,i dont charge a dime. They just pay for what they wish to "play",nothing was compulsory.
1st half : Change money,check in hotel,know the places to get the necessities,brunch and then shopping in booking joints.
2nd half : Massage,overnight booking girl collection (with OTOT) and then dinner time.
3rd part would be up to the boys,it can be Movies,shopping,disco,KTV,pubs,supper...or whatever,but those are not within my itinerary. I can give some pointer but rarely joining in unless its a personal group trip.
Bros coming together and sharing similar frequency and yet can cheong together are where the most FUN comes from. Agree?

Popcorns,hotdogs,drink for 4 pax costing more than 200k plus tickets for another 100k (for 4) is really crazy. For lesser than the amount of money,i would be able to build a home theatre in my own hotel room with a theatre atmosphere watching unlimited movies,hehehe...
