( Click to show/hide )

A total of 10 in a pack costing, S$2.01. But that shop got S$2 voucher, hence i only pay S$0.01 for a pack of 10 pieces, hehehe...

Replying to my PM query, hehehe... yes, i got this 10 pieces "straws" at S$0.01. In case you guys think otherwise, here's the part of the receipt as proof, hehehe....

Anyway, those special offer were already over. But it still can be purchase using the 50% cashback daily noon voucher. I bought another 10 more pieces at around S$0.70 plus minus, to bring to Batam on my next June 2023 trip.

Hope it will reach my hand before my next trip.

I havent receive yet, so i just take photo from the platform ad.

Just that this time round, it's another color version, hehehe....yes, GOLD color straw!!!

Going to bring those to another MP to give away, hehehe....cost per piece is less than S$0.07 anyway.

Nothing much as i also dont know yet. But every Batam trip nowaday, i need to bring bro Blackpage's version of luggage bag there, hehehe...so you can imagine how many stuffs i have brought there to sell to the girls, hehehe....

I will be cutting down on that after June/July/August, because my main purpose wasnt to make a profit from those younger ladies. More on to allow my cheonging to subsidize for my cheonging in Batam.

Testing those Batam rented vehicle/s on my next trip. Hopefully all goes well.

They can eat this...

Just too bad, their country do not allow them to sell that (above).

So i change up an alternate meal, hehehe... no eat but "suck" this instead, and i think most of the girls will like it, hehehe...

( Click to show/hide )

As for drinks, will give them a cup to drink with it instead.

( Click to show/hide )

Then use the golden straw i bought them to drink with it.

Actually, seeing most young ladies in the MPs playing, eating, drinking and using the toys i gave them can be a fun scene to watch, hehehe.... believe me, it will cause a big commotion in the MP (i already tried before, hehehe...).

The above is banned in Malaysia, hence unlikely to see it in Batam. But well...there are always alternative.

Anyway, i am just sharing my kind of fun in batam, no offence to other bros who are looking into this thread and find them not interesting at all.

I am not sure about the liberal Muslim attitude of society in Indonesia, but what about Singapore?

I really wish you stay with us as a valuable contributor of SB!
Good news is that you can import that freely through borders. You just have to request permit before the trip. Let us know how it goes...

Controlled goods are items that require an import permit or authorisation from the relevant controlling authority for importation into Singapore.

True. I ever asked bro Nono how he managed to get those stuffs into batam? Even on departure fm Spore, our bags were x-ray too. I suppose he overlooked my post.

It's because they do not x-ray looking for dildos, but for tobacco and alcohol.

My luggage always has a bag full of pills (normal medicines I bring with me in all trips overseas, to have basic remedies in case I fall sick without having to look for a farmacy) and on my return some 10 kg of fresh tropical fruit to bring home (too bad that Batam selection is VERY POOR). Years ago, I even brought a durian with me from Batam through borders, MRT, Changi.
I never had a single problem.

Said all that, I wish I would be there at Harbour Bay or Harbour Front customs, the day officers ask our friend to open the bag to check content, stand up in group while they line up all items on the desk, and ask Nono "Sir, what is the purpose of your trip?"
All in front of a large crowd of curious travellers...

Nono, I wish you all the best, but that scene would be priceless.

Your sense of humour has plenty of class!

The seller's site of the "straw" doesn't have a gold version - wonder if this is from another seller.

Wonder if there are receipts for the "pen" and "obvious fake currency" too.

ICA look for prohibited/controlled items too. Not just tobacco and alcohol which is collection of gst/duty tax meant for SC. U try bringing in airsoft gun?

As for medicine, they normally dont bother unless large quantities of enhanced pills.
Same for dildos or sex toys. Small quantities they may let u pass. Having said, i have no idea wats their sop over at batam customs.

Hehehe...i dont. I told the girls stories during "bed time" that ancient-time emperors in China used to eat grapes with peel-off skin peeled off by their concubines. Hence they do the similar (not the same but similar, because they fed me the peeled-skin grapes with their mouth instead of hands) and some of them even ate aways the peeled off grape skins.

I also find grape with peeled off skin taste better too, hehehe... different people may have different taste bud in this case.

Peas are meant to be put under the mattress and beds, not to be peeled.

Wah! Bro, you dont scare me like that. I have been bringing those stuffs over to Batam the last 4 to 5 months (yes, now after what you said in this post, i am a bit scare already). And the only time i got into trouble at the Harbour Bay immigration was when i brought in hundreds of pieces of the S$1000 gold foil dollar.

It looks something like this :

https://samsforum.asia/showpost.php?...ostcount=18996

The time i got caught and explained to them that they were meant as souvenirs for friends in Batam. I even gave the young lady custom officers manning the X-Ray station a set of the foil Singapore dollar too. And she was all smile thereafter (a young girl in her early 20s with a GND looks).

The custom lady after knowing its fake released me.

I found my own post and it was March 2023 when i got caught :

https://samsforum.asia/showpost.php?...ostcount=18776

All good tho, hence i do not bring more than 10 pieces of those fake S$1000 over to Batam anymore. I still bring them in but at a much lesser quantity.

And i feel lucky that time that the real S$1000 wasnt found.

You mean how i get the notes to Singapore? I bought them online and they were delivered to my doorsteps.

There was a sale recently at S$2.07 (if i didn't remember wrong) and i bought more. It used to be S$2.90 for a stack of S$2, S$5, S$10, S$50, S$100 & S$1000.

Buy 3 stacks = free delivery

I just walked in. Maybe because i have a very big luggage, the size of bro Balckpage's luggage with many other "toys" & "souvenirs" in it hence they might have not look into the X-Ray screen properly.

Sorry, sorry. I may have overlook.

But i am not the least worry about going through the Singapore immigration side since most of those items were "toys" & "souvenirs", but more worried about going through the Batam immigration.

(In Singapore, at worst case is got my stuffs confiscated, but it will be a different story in Batam and it will really spoil my entire trip)

My heart did skip a beat when i got stopped by the Batam lady officer on my March 2023 trip.

I am a smoker, but i do not "smuggle" cigarettes from batam to Singapore, hehehe...and i have never before ask friends (especially non-smoking friends) to help me bring them over as well.

Nono, I wish you all the best, but that scene would be priceless.

They are "food" (lollipops) and cups and straws are for drinking water. They were called, "utensils".

The purpose of my batam trip were to eat, drink and make merry, hehehe.... in short, its called "Holiday".

Just for laugh.

Thank you.

Being in my position who cannot speak the Indonesian language, i can only resort to body sign "action" language and cheapo gifts to break the ice.

I sell the girls stuffs and they help me sell them to their friends etc too (i am in the marketing industry). And the girls in another way around it has subsidized the service they charged me.

Win-win situation since most young girls in batam were kind of addicted to social media platform like Tik Tok etc (which i do not have). More importantly, they are happy doing it, and i gets my own kind of enjoyment in Batam as well.

Gold version should also be plastic (straws), i just ordered them few days ago and haven't receive the item yet hence i cannot be 100% sure. But i am expecting to get it before my next Batam trip, hehehe...

Those were all from other local Singapore websites.

I chose not to mention the site's name nor post its links here to avoid advertisement infringement from this forum.

I am not the seller nor am i the owner of the sites, hence no point i help them advertise too.

Your question just got me thinking again....hehehe....i am thinking of....

New way/s to tip the overnight booking girls, hehehe....

Just sharing ideas here.

[Gemfindbro]

Hi batam experts haha. First time going batam mainly to hang around nice happening areas for drinking. Any places or specific pubs or bars, clubs to recommend? Bonus if there are girls too, don't mind tipping and stuff. Also interested in ktvs 😉 TIA

This is exactly what Mr Bean did. He stammers and cannot speak properly so he resorts to silent comedy with excellent results. Good that u are mixing well entrepreneurship with fun.

Understood. Easy enough to find the sites with Mr G's help.

Your question just got me thinking again....hehehe....i am thinking of....

Ahh... think this one u have to be a bit more careful.....

No problem bro. Ya, quite surprise why btm customs did not quiz u. Its coffee money for them. If its at TBK, confirmed coffee session with customs.
