Hmm...this is gonna be tough,bro.

I think i can only suggest the rest and relax method.

1. Stay in Formosa Hotel next tues if you plan one night (i dont recommend a Monday tho).

2. Foot reflexology in Kings Massage on the 4th floor of the Hotel (morning).

3. Lunch at Mickey Mouse Bat Kut Teh. Out from Hotel front door,turn right and go straight,you will see lucky plaza,which is the building beside Formosa Hotel...walk further down to the next building and continue to walking till you see Mickey Mouse (look right side). Approximately about 300 steps.

4. After lunch,walk back to Hotel. It should be around 2pm by now. If you wanna catch a drink in day time,you will need to walk out of Formosa Hotel front door again,instead of turning right,turn left and you should see Dynasty 99 KTV at about 70 steps away. Yes,its open for business after 1pm and 2 pm+ should be the right timing to touch this place. But its a crappy open air air-con KTV,where you can drink with some MILF around for some TCSS (i dont go there to do what i say cos i dont speak Bahasa Indo/Malay language).

5. Alternatively,if day time KTV drinking is out. You all can go to each other's room,TCSS a bit before heading to Kings Massage at the 4th floor for an hour of massage (90k/hr). Not keen on going to king massage again since you already been there in the morning? You can step out of Formosa Hotel again,cross opposite (you can see Relax from Formosa and they are about 40 steps away) and head to Relax Massage for a non-special service massage at 70k/hr (if i dont remember wrong). If you want foot reflexology by MAN (good looking ones),Relax massage is the place too,hehehe...

6. Another choice of massage is behind Relax Massage ,once you locate Relax Massage,directly behind it (another about 30 steps away) is Indo Rasa Massage/Hotel/Food Court. You probably know the price to get a massage from there but you can also get them to your room for 120k/hr or 130k/1.5hr as room ambiance in Indo Rasa wont be good. Just give the receptionist your Hotel Name and room number. You will need a bath after oily massage,hehehe...

7. After massage,you can both gather again for some TCSS again before heading to Indo Rasa Food court for dinner,which by this time you should know where it is if you have tried Indo Rasa Massage. Or just eat in hotel restaurant.They serve quite fairly good food too (more than double street food price tho).

8. It would likely be around 7pm after your dinner. Time for Alishan KTV at Formosa Hotel 4th Floor. Its a weekday you are going to Batam,so no worries about having no room. In fact after 730pm to 8.30pm would be some of the perfect timing to reach Alishan KTV as all girls should have arrive by then. That i guess would be party/drinking all night.

9. Alternatively if you are looking for a quiet place to drink,out of Formosa Hotel front door,turn left about 25 steps,you should see Center point. Ground floor of outside Center Point is a open air bar with a giant screen TV,where not many will drink there during weekdays. There is a small live band playing there too. This place opens in the evening around 7.30pm.

10. All the above should burn most of your day.Next morning should be free breakfast from Formosa Hotel. If you want another massage,Kings open at 9am,the rest of the massage shop out of Formosa Hotel opens at around 10am. Thereafter would be pack up and go back to Harbour Bay to board your ferry or if you still have time to burn,take a taxi to Nagoya Hill Mall for some shopping,the coming back taxi gonna cost quite a bit tho. Its a weekday,do let the Hotel receptionist knows if you are gonna check out late.

11. Harbour Bay can also be a fairly good place for lunch before you board the ferry back to Sillypore too.

12. Home sweet home.

Side Note : Formosa Hotel building ground floor has a provision shop,almost everything you need are already there. Out from front door,turn left,walk straight but dont leave the hotel building. Turn left again when you reach the end of Formosa Hotel building and walk straight all the way,you should see provision shop. You may wish to locate this provision shop when you arrive at Formosa Hotel on the 1st day. It close around 1030pm at times (no fix closing time). If you need something after midnight,there is another 24 hour K-Mart across Center point building in between Dynasty 99 and Center Point building. When you 1st arrive at Harbour Bay ferry terminal,you also cannot miss Harbour Mart.

The whole itinerary was planned in a way to reduce the amount walking.
