~Audi alteram partem~

You know your part of the story. Now hear the other side.
Cos everyone just want to be heard
.

When was the last time he slept with you?
When was the last time he even touched you?
That's how you judge men.

Now I know..

THIS is what I've been missing whole my life
It's a walk in the park..

With people shooting right at you and throwing hand grenades.

Bumblebee?

The headquarter spotted in Tanjong Pagar.
And it's hot.

Do you want a code with that post?

I grew up in Batam, lived there for 20 years and counting. Been living in the same house for 13 years now (if I remember correctly, that is). I used to have pen-pals when I was younger. That's how I learnt to write addresses correctly and remember what the postcode of my area is.

So when I joined Google Adsense I confidently wrote down my postcode as 29432, cos that's what I've been using for the 2-year pen-paling era of my life. But since October last year, I haven't receive my cheque. Google said the home address that I put down does not exist. So, going to its alter ego, I searched for a list of Batam island postcodes, and guess what? My postcode does not exist. The remarkable organization of Batam government.
Can someone tell me, then, what is the postcode for Nagoya Garden? Is it under Lubuk Baja or Kampung Seraya?

And to make life easier for our fellow Batamese, here I compile all the Batam postcodes that I can find.
