Wanted to catch sunrise but by 6am, Batam time, the sun had been up and sky had all been bright - there goes my chance to capture a sunrise shot in Batam.  The time difference is an hour earlier in Batam.  For a moment last night, the ferry tickets could not be found, but was located in our room, in the business envelope.   Phew...it had saved us a journey home.

Still not used to the currency despite things being cheaper, as all Indonesian Rupiahs are in thousands or tens of thousands.  We had a good time walking around the huge mall, for a moment, I can't recall the mall's name but it certainly was huge.  This was part of the city tour that our package came with, after the first stop at Mi Le Buddha temple where many shots were taken.

A seafood lunch was done before we headed for the mall, and Darrel's dream came true on sharing table with the FG and male FG whom created a noise pollution when on the boat ride to Batam last night.

I didn't get much things, except for a pack of squid crackers as the local delight.  A live performance by the locals of ripping coconuts, glass eating, coal eating and jumping through the fire hoop was all nearby the seafood restaurant, known as 933 seafood restaurant.

Final boat ride was at 6:45pm and we reach Singapore around 7:30PM; I've sent dearie home before making my way home, though feeling a little tired, but still maintaining my composure.
