Keep in mind, you have limited space in the locker. And you WILL have stand by bed inspection so its not like you can stuff all the junk in the locker any old how.

So just bring in the above. Once you're in camp you can figure out what else you need & get it from emart.


also bring tidbits... the best time to bring in cose all subsequent book ins ur bags will be subjected to inspections... things to bring : cup noodles, chocolates, sweets, chips and anything u like la..

u can bring toilet rolls but no need la.. almost 3 months i haven even use finish 3 rolls they giv..



tip: the best way to have a enjoyable confinement is to book out during the confinement.. LOL... trust me... been there done that.. if possible try all means n ways (dental appointment, specialist appointment, scholarship interview, collection of results, will surely work... u can also try to get a fever above 38.5 C [ eat toothpaste, dun drink water, bathe liao dun wear clothes, etc]) to book out halfway thru.. u can go home (and trust me the feeling of e 1st time reaching home is fantastic), plus u can wash ur clothes... u will eat non-stop...
