18 days on an island. • Sunday, August 21, 2011 • 12:00 AM

Good evening my readers who have been avidly reading my blog, be it juniors, relatives or just some random friends whom I haven't met or talked to in quite awhile. Just to update you guys, I have been doing fine in Tekong, the food is still pretty much alright and I have gotten used to the life inside over the 18 days of confinement. At the start it felt dreadfully long, but the friendship that had been made over the past few weeks kept all of us inside going on, even though most of us missed the outside world and crave for food that we have not yet tasted for quite some time.

The funny thing about life on Tekong is that while all the materialistic wants were devoid of during the past weeks(we didn't want to buy any ipad, iphones), we crave for simple things like chocolates, ice-creams and sweets during our days there. Such desires were fulfilled during our one and only canteen break during National Day where many of us purchased simple things like biscuits, soft drinks and other snacks that you will simply walk past without a second glance in the super-mart. Life inside is also very regimental and very routine, simple things like drinking water, going up a pull-up bar follows a very procedural way of asking for permission or reciting the core values of SAF. Such routines had also carved out a place inside of us, and didn't take much time to get used to. But in any way, I am adapting very well still and I will be booking in again tomorrow at 1749hrs. Will be back in a week's time.

Till then.
