So, I've been back from Pulau Tekong for about two days already, and I must say it was good experience gained during our confinement/adjustments weeks.

We were shifted out of our comfort zone, in full military manner. Stuffs that we took it for granted most of the time have been snatched away from us. Eg, laundry, cleanliness of bunks etc etc. Other than the very remote location of our camp, I am quite accustomed to the lifestyle in the camp now. Pleasantly, so far. However, the first few days over there were hectic and borrring. Ironically speaking, we had lot of admin stuffs to settle, yet given little admin time.

Also, it was emotionally taxing for those people who are closer to their loved ones. Sometimes, 20 minutes of talking time were all that could be offered during those hectic and tiring days. Training wise, it was quite fruitiful and progressive (: For me, I've lost weight but I'd feel my fitness level increasing. Not sure whether this is good or bad as losing weight for me is a no-no, but dreams are alway accompanied by sacrifices isn't it. To say, dryness of throat and heatiness of the body seems like part and parcel of the whole deal.

I ought to be thankful for all the support and encouragement that my loved ones showered me, especially my family and dearest. I believe it's only possible for a person to become stronger by having overcome their obstacles along their way and most importantly, learnt from it.

Having mediocre grades in my studies and much less achievements throughout my twenty years life, I am aware that this is probably a new opportunity for me to shine again and finally, making a mark in my life. I appreciate that I have a very ordinary yet happy family staying together and taking care of my daily needs, and guiding me along my youth. It also helped to have my dearest around with me thoughout this 9 months, telling me exactly what I need to know and the various colours of life (: I'm very very very lucky to have you (:

I know things are going to get more serious (EG tekan-ing, obstacles), I am hopeful that someday I'd achieve what I want in my two years time and eventually with all the happy memories. Provided I wouldn't get OOC or OOT first =/

Very contented, with you around.
I love you (:
