rp 200k - my regular driver's fee
rp 30k + 35k - extra taxi trips fro n to batu ampar ferry terminal. din follow the "Batam, Bintan, Balai Field reports thread", so din know wavemaster shut down their counter at batam centre long ago liao... my regular driver drove me to batu ampar, dropped me there n drove off, thinking that i din need to wait long for next ferry. big mistake! too many people cos CNY, so i was stuck there at 2pm sg time while the next available ferry seat's at 7pm sg time... kaoz... i din buy a sim card this time, lazy to call, so juz got myself a taxi to BCS mall to kill time as i waited for the ferry
rp 160k - indo-english dictionaries at gramedia bookshop in bcs mall
