Next stop, and since we were all so near to this Kong Zi Temple,so just pay it a visit. Its actually just beside the Windsor Tua Pek Kong temple.
Pass by any temple and don't light up a joss stick,really not very nice for most Chinese. So we enter it and got to learn a few things about this Saint Kong Zi. For those who didn't know,Kong Zi (or Kung Tze) isn't exactly a deity but more of a saint in ancient China. There was a movie on Kong Zi by Chow Yuen Fatt about 5 years ago. Teaching of Kong Zi was called Confucius (儒家伦理).
When I found the above trailer,i also found the full movie...well,i will just put it up here in case anyone is interested, hehehe...it also has an English subtitle for non-Chinese bro.
One of the famous words by Kong Zi that even a 3 year old Chinese kid will know were 活到老，学到老 and video below were some quotes by the famous Saint Kong Zi that were widely use in our modern world :
One of the reason why this guy is so famous becos his teachings build a major bulk of the Chinese culture's foundation since ages ago. And one of my favourite quotes from this great man is :
If anyone would still remember my past postings, i refrain from "doing what I do not like others do unto me". Hehehe...so the next time someone in the forum visit the Tua Pek Kong temple at Windsor, do keep a look out at this Kong Zi temple as well.
And in case anyone start grumbling since it isn't the 1st time I visit this Kong Zi temple,why am I blabbering about it for such long time now. Reason is simple,i would like to urge bros and sis reading my 30th Batam trip summary...visit this temple soon...becos they will be gone soon. Yes,it will be torn down soon according to the caretaker of this temple whom I talk to.
They will soon be shifting to :
...and there will a grand opening of this temple on (photo below shows the date) :
Hehehe...looks like many great prizes to be won...hehehe...I made some small donation to the building of this temple before I left. And it does look like on around 27th Sept 2016,i will have something to do in Batam. According to the caretaker,they have sort of rented that piece of land from the local government for 30 years, so I believe during those years,they should still be around. The only setback is,their new temple location is at Batam Center area, which is quite a distance from this current one. In short, it will become less inconvenient for worshippers to go there.
I think I am going to visit this temple in my next trip and maybe even the one after...before it is gone.

After the temple trip,we had lunch at Meximo pub Wan Tan mee before heading back to our respective hotel room to clean up ourselves,rest up a little,pack up and get ready to check out. And we head to the Harbour Bay Ferry terminal to have a cup of coffee a little earlier to chat up and summarize our trip before boarding our timed ferry.
Home sweet home thereafter.
For most bros who were with me,i think they should have a fairly alright trip. But for me,i feel I have a lousy trip since Day 1 I stepped in Batam. And its the worst trip since the beginning of Jan 2016.
My thoughts for the trip :
1. My hp that were suppose to be for my Indo number broke down upon my arrival in Batam. (and I am talking about 2 HPs and I had one still under repair in Batam)
2. Wired internet connection was a total failure. (this is what I pissed off most)
3. Wifi was intermittent, and that makes my connection with my girl via google translate intermittent in all 3 nights.
4. Computer connection to the LCD TV also decide to go crazy on me,so I thought it was the HDMi cable fault and waste 50k on another 3 meter cable from DC Mall and guess what,my original cable has no fault but the 3 meter cable was at fault.
5. The girl I got for my last night in Batam was not good. Or at least not what I expected so decide to send her back after 2 shots and called for another girl to come to my room around million which cost me another million rupiah (from another joint).
6. If I can only use one word to describe this trip, it would be "Frustration"! Enough said....
Basically from the start of this trip,everything has not been smooth-sailing. My girls for the 1st 2 nights were only so-so. The one for my 3rd night being the worst,keep playing with her hp and occupying my computer usage and all that to the extend that I feel the need to send her back. (communication is also a key problem w/o google translate too)
I didn't get her name but the only clue I have was she was from Hawaii and she's a native of Manado, Indonesia. Only been to Batam for less than a week when I booked her and she will be going back to her hometown next month as she didn't like this place, Batam. I was her 1st customer (1st blood,i guess), so didnt want to kick up a fuss as its just "so not me" to do that, had my 2 shots with her and ask her to leave with a 50k tip. Called for another girl from another joint and she arrived promptly just before the clock strike midnight. And I was lucky she saved the rest of my night and I was so grateful to her that I tipped her 200k the next morning. (200k tip was a rare for me as out of 20 girls, maybe only 1 gets it)
All in all, minus-ing out the parts that my friends who makes my trip better, i would rate this trip a 5/10. This 30th trip has remind me once again, regardless how good or how bad I am in the scene of Batam, luck still plays a very important role on getting the right girl for the like of me who are not into the idea of RTF (I still RTF some girls tho).
I took my own advise,go bathe flower water,hehehe...hence I was in 3 temples in one single day. May my next upcoming Batam trip in Aug be better than this one... *sob*
Now, i can finally start planning for my August 2016 Trip. I am more likely to go solo,to wash away my last trip's bad luck....hehehe....
