Hehehe...i dont. I told the girls stories during "bed time" that ancient-time emperors in China used to eat grapes with peel-off skin peeled off by their concubines. Hence they do the similar (not the same but similar, because they fed me the peeled-skin grapes with their mouth instead of hands) and some of them even ate aways the peeled off grape skins.
I also find grape with peeled off skin taste better too, hehehe... different people may have different taste bud in this case.

Peas are meant to be put under the mattress and beds, not to be peeled.

Wah! Bro, you dont scare me like that. I have been bringing those stuffs over to Batam the last 4 to 5 months (yes, now after what you said in this post, i am a bit scare already). And the only time i got into trouble at the Harbour Bay immigration was when i brought in hundreds of pieces of the S$1000 gold foil dollar.
It looks something like this :

The time i got caught and explained to them that they were meant as souvenirs for friends in Batam. I even gave the young lady custom officers manning the X-Ray station a set of the foil Singapore dollar too. And she was all smile thereafter (a young girl in her early 20s with a GND looks).
The custom lady after knowing its fake released me.
I found my own post and it was March 2023 when i got caught :

All good tho, hence i do not bring more than 10 pieces of those fake S$1000 over to Batam anymore. I still bring them in but at a much lesser quantity.
And i feel lucky that time that the real S$1000 wasnt found.

Good news is that you can import that freely through borders. You just have to request permit before the trip. Let us know how it goes...

You mean how i get the notes to Singapore? I bought them online and they were delivered to my doorsteps.
There was a sale recently at S$2.07 (if i didn't remember wrong) and i bought more. It used to be S$2.90 for a stack of S$2, S$5, S$10, S$50, S$100 & S$1000.
Buy 3 stacks = free delivery

I just walked in. Maybe because i have a very big luggage, the size of bro Balckpage's luggage with many other "toys" & "souvenirs" in it hence they might have not look into the X-Ray screen properly.

Sorry, sorry. I may have overlook.
But i am not the least worry about going through the Singapore immigration side since most of those items were "toys" & "souvenirs", but more worried about going through the Batam immigration.
(In Singapore, at worst case is got my stuffs confiscated, but it will be a different story in Batam and it will really spoil my entire trip)
My heart did skip a beat when i got stopped by the Batam lady officer on my March 2023 trip.
