As for Hbf side you can imagine like you are at HBB mall
I try to avoid going to malls whereby i need to register myself before entry.


Just too bad, Singapore already made it a compulsory thingy. Need to scan some QR thingy before entry.


Went over to Horizonfast ferry the other day, and they were closed.


Actually, i was there to buy liquid alcohol sanitizer (not those gel type). Unity there sells the better and cheapest version,hehehe....contain at least 70% ethanol alcohol and chlorhexidine gluconate, which would stays on my hand for a couple of hours and continue to prevent virus/bacteria from surviving on it. Especially when my hands start touching "things",hehehe....

(there's another brand that Singapore Changi airport is using but its too expensive now)

Another good method to keep myself as bacteria/virus free as possible.

Want to make a guess?
What i hear from the Batam girls were Indonesia online market place were selling at about 50k rupiah for a box of 50 masks.

Cheaper than the lowest i found in Singapore online market which i saw at S$11.90 for a box of 50 masks. But those were made in China, hence i arent buying,hehehe...

Look at such tremendous drop in face mask pricing over the recent few months. Luckily, i didnt over stock myself.

Batam apotek shops is selling at around 100k rupiah right now tho.

Notice the big difference in pricing WITH and WITHOUT tourist?

Thank you for sharing.

My guess would be indonesia will be one of the last few countries who could open up itself again to the world again. Or whereby Singapore will allow Singaporean to travel to Batam Indonesia w/o the compulsory 14 days quarantine rule.

Singapore still have a long way to go, let alone Indonesia.
