I hope people will say I never had a hidden agenda, and I never played it cute around the turns, and that my integrity stayed intact.

Because you believed I was capable of behaving decently, I did.

As long as I could keep improving my mind, I figured, I was doing okay.

I have always been straight in my dealings, whether now or in yesteryear. There was no flip-flop/

I think my biggest achievement is that, after going through a rather difficult time, I consider myself comparatively sane.

It might have driven me mad; but I was always a pretty stubborn one, so I just held on and bided my time.

I did not hesitate to be disagreeable to preserve my independence.

I left my fingerprints somewhere - that's good enough. I am my own person - that's good enough. I stand my ground - that's good enough.

Be diplomatic but direct, I told myself. I don’t tend to bang people over the head, but some situations require a bit of boldness

I’d like to believe that in the two weeks that I was inside, I conducted myself with dignity. And I wouldn’t be remembered as a contestant who created a scene for TRPs.

I chose to maintain our integrity and retain our credibility.

I am comfortable with my level of public discourse.

My conscience is clear. I was simply doing my duty...

And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes.
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all.
I still believed in my dreams.
