Went to Batam again on job... Posted some pix on FB... Lazy to post them here again... Anw this time round the job was much better with my super zai A1 and the change in hotel... Stayed at Hotel Amir which is a 4 star hotel as compared to my previous trip where I stayed in Hotel Utama, 3 star... Marked improvement is the hotel is much quieter.. not so much of activities outside the room and no smoking in the hotel... Phew~ Free of passive smoking... No more 3am knock on the door or ringing of the hotel phone... zzz.... Sharing room also helped a lot and hearing my A1 greeting me "morning" with a sleepy smile also brightened my days... haa~

This time we managed to go to the mall next to our hotel! Of coz the short walk from the hotel to the mall was not without scare... We were waiting by the roadside to cross over to the mall then there's this car with 2 men suddenly stopping in front of us and asked us to hop on... *shuddders* Luckily our driver came to our rescue... Anw the mall is newly opened.... A lot of shops were still under construction but overall it's pretty not bad with a basement Carrefour... haa~ My cutie A1 bot toothbrush @ 99 cents only! Oral B worz... There are some shops selling LV, Gucci and other branded bags to our surprise... We decided to check it out and realized they're just super A graded goods... haa we should have expected that right? We ate pizza at a franchise of a New York pizzeria... forgot the name of it.... Niceeee cheese... ^^ We saw the knives and forks on the table and considered stealing one set as our self-defense weapon for our trip back to the hotel... lolx but of coz we didn't do that... worried bout CCTV... Also saw the shop "Summit" at the mall.... reminisce our KL trip =)

The good thing bout Batam is the food there... super unhealthy coz of all the oil and fried food but the flavouring is really yummy =X My A1 intro me to this tapioca chips which were really niceeeee~ But salty... hahaha n I simply lurve the fruit juices there which are really thick but my A1 told me the sweetness of coz doesn't come naturally... bahhhhhh

All in all... not a place I would want to go again.... Hopefully this trip is just the opening to more overseas job in the future! ^^
