Agree with you,smaller group is better for easier coordination.(eg,the one who leads need not call everyone when they comes down late for dinner,hehehe...) Smaller group move around faster too.

Usually group trips with bros who are 1st time seeing each other rarely has conflict. Its usually after the same group gets to know each other better and during/after their later trips,then minor conflict might occur.
Some keys to avoid conflict is to remain humble,respect one another and give way at the proper time.
Many of us who shares similar frequency in this forum has become good friends and permanently goes to Batam together on an almost regular basis,hehehe...and the best part was more onto our sharing of good and lousy experiences together,hehehe...

I believe 8 in some Chinese culture has the similar meaning as the lucky number 7 in some parts of Europe/US culture. More like an auspicious number. Like number 13 means bad luck,it actually means good luck in some parts of the Chinese culture.
Just a small update to you only :
Sinta has given birth to a healthy baby boy on the 29th Feb 2016 (what an auspicious date,hehehe...). And wont be around for the next 3 months.

Well,at least its at the side. Not directly facing the whole sleeping body like those in Goodway hotel. No wonder there are people keep saying that hotel is a little haunted. Honestly,even if it isnt true...sleeping can be a problem for some.

Actually base on observation,quite a handful older hotels prices has comes down. One of them being Formosa,next was Harmony hotel. Base on record or part of summaries written almost 2 years ago,formosa used to be about S$63,today...hehehe...about S$50. Even Swiss-inn Baloi and Gideon hotel prices has come down too,hehehe...

True...the way i see it,i think over the next few years,many more hotels will be coming up as Batam (aka Indonesia) laxing their visa rules to more countries. With this,i am looking at a stronger Indo rupiah. Well,thats unless something unpredictable crops up somewhere in their country.

They do,but price difference wont be too far apart becos the market now favors the hotels when more tourist are visiting Batam. If Sin$ weakens or stregthen a lot,Kaha is a good option for hotel booking.
Example,if Sin$ weaken,most hotel booking site will go higher like formosa S$55/night. If it strengthen,the price will be about S$50/night. Kaha over the last about 1.5 years has remian at 475k rupiah.
Just an observation.
