Sorry bro,its a private trip. I have always believe in affinity to meet up/link up with another bro,something like 有缘千里来相会 whenever fate and time allows it. I am actually looking forward to my Sept trip but Sept is still 14 days away from this post.

Yes,Tiban Tua Pek Kong is definitely a good place to be on.

Tiban temple, Sekupang temple and Batam center temple already inside part of my itinerary. I may be adding another temple if time allows :


I have brought no less than 15 people to the Tiban Tua Pek kong before and everyone seems to like it there.

The latest temple I am eyeing at now is the newly built Kong Zi temple in Batam Center area whereby they will be having a Grand opening ceremony on 27th Sept 2016. Confucius's birthday is on 28th Sept,hehehe...honestly speaking,i have not been there yet but I am expecting a big crowd on that day tho (27th Sept is a Tuesday).

I have my itinerary in mind but the problem i have is what should come 1st and what should come later.

1. Temples to visit :

a. Vihara Buddha Maitreya at Batam Center

b. Tua Pek Kong,Windsor

c. Tiban Tua Pek Kong

d. KTM Resort Guanyin temple

2. Shopping Mall to visit :

a. Nagoya Hill Mall

b. BCS Mall

c. Nagoya City Walk

3. Massage/Spa

a. 5 hour spa treatment

b. Hotel foot reflexology

c. Outcall massage

4. Type of Food/Meals (7 meals)

a. 1 meal from Hotel breakfast

b. 2 lower end meals

c. 2 mid end meals

d. 2 higher end meal.

5. Perhaps a movie (if there are any Chinese movie screening then)

Batam is not a place where 1 day 2 day (or more) can finish touring,so i am not going to plan too many places in this one. Its still the 7th month,so Ex Vitenam camp isnt in my list tis time round.

So many places to choose to go in Batam,hehehe...but so little time and rushing is not an option (average age of the people with me were about 67 years old). Just rest and relax...taking things really slowly...


...and there are many more not listed above. But I have to keep reminding myself,no rush, no greed and to take my time. And I shall leave some for their other future trips.
