On the 6th Feb, i was at Harbour Bay ferry terminal. The queue for returning back to Singapore (around 830pm Batam time) was super long,circling the waiting area of Roti O restaurant up till Starbuck almost 1 round in perimeter (roughly about 250 meter in full length).

So its really hard to say. What i notice was most who returns were Singaporean Malays and Chinese. I doubt it would be as crowded in Harbour Front as compare to the 1st 2 days of CNY but still, i am sure there will be some crowd.

1st day of CNY, during breakfast time the restaurant was full but i still manage to get seat on a shared table. Most guest in restaurant were Malays,a handful of Chinese and Indos.

2nd day of CNY, breakfast time was crowded too (full house). But this time, the crowd was mostly indians ,China Chinese and some foreign workers. I got my own table for breakfast.

3rd day of CNY today, same thing,ful house again but manage to get my own table. This time round,crowd was mainly Singapore Chinese as in fact, all of them were Chinese,mainly families,some uncles in group and one or 2 my age. Nearly all of them talking in Singapore slang hokkien,teochews and cantonese ..yes, noise level were highest among the 3 breakfast morning,hehehe...
