Malaysia-Singapore-Tanjung Batu, Indonesia

Salam and good day to all. A week after chinese new year, i had a very truly adventurous journey to Indonesia, attending a wedding party at one of thousands Indonesian island called Tanjung Batu, Kepulauan Karimun. There are few ways to get there. Either we fly straight to Batam then continue with ferry to Tanjung Batu or drive to Kukup Pontian and take ferry to Tjg Batu or by train from KL to Singapore and 2 more ferries.

A point to remember: don't unscrew the F&N bottle for other than pouring it into the apam mix because you won't get the optimum result. See the photo above, it's actually not the perfect one and my mom said it was because the soda has lost some of its gas. So, let's do this! I
