I am Nomads
I’ve been living in Batam for nearly 9 years. During that period I live in 7 different places. The first 2 were company’s houses. The rest I’ve been renting a room in 5 different places.
I lived in the 1st company’s houses for more than 4 years. The first time I lived there I had 3 other occupants living under the same roof. It’s a two floors building. In the last 1-1.5 years of that time I lived there by myself. I got bored after 4 years. Besides, I’m a true male species, means I don’t like to clean up that big house 
After that I decided to move to other company’s houses which was a lot smaller than the 1st one. I lived there by myself for about 2 years. That place have relatively “cheap” surroundings, most notably the food. I remember I could still have a fried chicken menu plus ice tea for about Rp 5000 only. It’s almost impossible to have that in Batam.
Then I decided to buy my own house. I’m only a middle-down class labour so I need to refund my housing allowance to add into the monthly payment of my house. That’s when I started to rent a room.
I paid about Rp 375 thousands a month for the 1st room. I got a spring bed only. I spent only about a month there. I couldn’t sleep if I was working at nite shift because the place is right in front of an elementary school. Man, it’s so noisy there.
Then I moved to the place which is only about 4-5 houses next to it. I could sleep there. I paid Rp 450 thousands per month. I got a spring bed, small fan, clothing racks, and my own bathroom. The problem was sometimes there’s a centipede coming out from the bathroom. Man, I hate that thing. It was only about 2-3 months before I decided to switch place again.
I found a nice room several houses next. The place was right in front of Telkom tower/office. The owner only asked about Rp 350 thousands a month. He gave me very clean spring bed, big roof fan, and private bathroom (without WC). The room was fit for my size. And no centipedes. Actually I liked it there. The only problem that I had was it was very truly deeply really hot. It has a big window but at the wrong side of wind flow
I think it was about 10-11 months before I decided to switch place again. I wanted to stay closer to my workplace. That’s when I moved to one of the most prestigious real estate in Batam. It costed me Rp 750 thousands a month. The owner gave me spring bed and AC (air conditioner) with sharing bathroom for 2 people. I spent about 17 months in there. Then like usual I got bored and moving again.
The last place (my current place) is actually not that far from the previous place. I often had a walk to get some food here. That’s one of the reason I chose this place. I can have various kinds of food nearby from fried rice, “gorengan”, meatballs, chicken noodles, “martabak”, “kethoprak”, satay, “soto”, Padang cuisine, “pecel lele”, “ayam penyet”, fried milkfish, etc.
The owner asked me Rp 600 thousands a month. I got nothing beside my own bathroom (with WC). So far the bathroom is free from centipedes. The thing that I like about this room is that it has small but private terrace. I often standing on my terrace naked after bath
This is the pic of the corridor at the 2nd floor during the night where my room is. It’s quite romantic Well I really hope this is my last room that I need to rent before moving to my new house. Maybe next year. Or perhaps I’ll sell the house and moving to Java island. Anyone interested to buy?
Tidak ada hunian seindah Pondok Mertua Indah, hehehehe…..

What a family……:-)
huehehe it means I’ll take the part after Shia LaBeouf getting old. It’s so loooooonnnnggggg
one day while i’m riding my vario around the most prestigious real estate in Batam; i see someone naked on the terrace.. well, it might be you yeahh
hehe nope, I’m sure that’s not me. My terrace can’t be seen from anywhere except from my own room
Bagus ya koridor-nya, lampu-nya remang2 gitu jadi kayak rumah bordil… *j/k* Tapi sepatu2 sama rak sepatunya mengganggu pemandangan deh…
Trus itu dibalik pintu kok ada gantungan kantong kresek, buat buang sampah ya? Knapa ga sedia tempat sampah aja…
“I often standing on my terrace naked after bath” Sebaiknya Anda segera hentikan kebiasaan ini, untuk keselamatan tetangga2 Anda sendiri…
huehehehe emangnya rumah bordil slalu remang2x gitu ya suasananya. Wah kalah pengetahuan nih gue ama Sheilla huehehehe
Iya, abis tiap kamar punya rak msg2x. Ga ada rak sepatu yg centralized 
Ada tempat sampah persis di depan pintu di luar. Biar ga bolak-balik buka pintu smentara gue taro plastik dulu 
Huehehe terrace nya private koq. Ga akan keliat dr mana2x 
rajin lu ya pindah2x
gue dulu selama kos cuma tiga kali pindah.
eh itu yg koridor banyak kamar2x, dimana ?
msih mending didepan sekolah, teman gue didepan masjid baloi ctr yg bisingnya 24 jam. gila banget itu speakernya. cuma sebulan dia betah.
hehe sebetulnya males banget sih pindah2x. Tp apa daya, gue kalo uda bosen suka muak kalo tetep tinggal di situ terus
N’tar gue imel ya buat infonya 
Hehehe speaker mesjid bunyi bukannya kalo deket2x wkt shalat doank yah.
barangkali koridor itu terasa romantis buatmu, tp terlihat seram buat saya.
nah, dgn keadaan begitu..barangkali setelah ini yg hrs kamu lakukan adalah memiliki pasangan hidup, spy lebih mapan, dan kamarmu gak morat-marit gitu, hehehe..
*kabuuur*
kalo ngebayangin yg serem2x di koridor itu emang bisa jadi serem sih
Huehehehe iya deh mbak Astrid, kapan2x dipikirkan 
Nasib anaaaak kooost….
Gambar kost yang sekarang mencerminkan sorang bujangan asli….
Mbok ya kalau mau di pottttret di tata dulu gitu
huehehehe kan gue BAJ pren, Bujangan Anti Ja’im
hey tigis

huehehehe I will bro, I will
Kalo gue baru 4 kali pindah jek !! masih kalah jauh ama elo
jangan sampe menang jek. Kasian anak elo
…but
to think about it again
i think it’s better to just get
a good interior designer…
it might be more expensive than marrying someone I guess

halo pren Aie (ini mas atau mbak ya hehe), kost2xan di batam banyak tersebar di sejumlah lokasi. Yg paling banyak tentunya yg deket lokasi industri sama di pusat kota (Nagoya). Kalo anaknya co, lebih gampang, tinggal disuruh jalan aja muter2x di area pemukiman misalnya sekitar blok 2 atau 3. Atau di belakang 21 lama.
alo bro..itu kost yg remang2 gt keren jg..romantis..keq hotel..haha..
kalo bole tau, lokasi tuh kost dimana ya?
1 bulan berapa?
dapet apa aja?
kost campur?
kalo bisa, email aja yah..thx ^^
halo juga bro Tommy, hehe itu di golden land batam center. Yg AC 1.1 jeti, yg ga AC 630 rb. Yg AC lengkap semua perabotan, yg ga AC kosongan. Semuanya kamar mandi dalem. Kost campur ama keluarga juga.
Hallo, nice to read it. Klo boleh tau kost yang terakhir yg romantis itu ada AC ga?
hehe
gw skrg tinggal di mess ud 5bln, pengen pindah, kmrn cari2 byk ruko n ga ad jendela buat liat keluar, ga mungkin gue betah tanpa jendela,… klo boleh email az ya… thnx
halo Andre, utk yg terakhir itu ada kamar yg AC. Total ada 24 kamar, 12 AC, 12 non-AC. Kalo serius sila tulis komen lagi ya Andre, biar n’tar gue kirim no telp yg njaga
Makasih Bro atas infonya……
Saya kebetulan lagi ngurus pindah ke Batam. kalau tempat kost yang dekat dengan Kantor Telkom dimana ya? tapi nggak jauh juga dari pelabuhan ke Spore.
Thank’s atas bantuannya…
kalo yg deket sama pelabuhan ke spore mgkin cocoknya yg di skitar2x perumahan greendland atau citra batam bro. Tp kalo deket kantor telkom (ini yg di pelita ya?) mgkin sbaiknya di daerah pelita saja.
siang om,
mo tanya kostan murah di sekitar btm center /bengkong di sebelah mana y?
n klo ada biasanya harganya brp per bln?
oia, ada gk kostan yg per minggu gt?
drpd ngehotel mahal euy ;(
sigit.susinggih jarang ol y?
siang jg Mini. Iya sori jarang online nih
Kalo nyebut murah itu relatif yah. Tp kalo bandingin batam center ama bengkong jelas relatif lebih murah bengkong. Di sana memang tempatnya pekerja2x pd tinggal. Kalo kost2xan per minggu ga ngerti jg nih. Dulu gue pernah denger ada yg mau pasang harian. Tp ya fasilitasnya sama kyk hotel alias mahal
