These 2 feet of mine
Fresh from the island these 2 came
From green carpets to concrete jungles
A new place brings new joys and pain
As I walked with these feet of mine
The humble grandeur extended in awe
It took some time to quite settle in
Into SAFTI the home of the officer corps
As I walked with these feet of mine
Awaiting our fates in AGST
Anxious faces met jittery nerves
Into Golf Wing platoon 3
I walked with these feet of mine
Discipline and integrity was our meal
Threats worse than death sworn to their stand
The instructors tried to instill
As I walked with these feet of mine
A new life burnt in our hearlit lamps
It yearned for honour, glory and pride
All that changed,sorta, after leadership camp
As I walked with these feet of mine
Off to Tekong we had to go back
Drills and Topo were our daily staple
Crawling on mud, up the hilly track
As I crawled with these feet of mine
High kneeling was our common pose,
AAR a weekly dose
Training kept us on our toes
As I walked with these feet of mine
OPs orders were the start of headaches
Long nights planning and long explaining
Zombified soldiers fighting to stay awake
As I walked with these feet of mine
Rambutan soon faced a new threat
Spades and Blades kept their dedication
Day and night through blood and sweat
As I walked with these feet of mine
Ex Rhino soon came to us then
4 last charges, 4 times again as one
Brothers in arms we've reached the end
As I ran with these feet of mine
The tiny room seemed so barren and bare
The last night I sat wide awake
It was just like yesterday we were there
As I walked with these feet of mine
14 weeks did live fast
Every moment, every tear
Every joy would forever last
Within these thoughts of mine..
Dedicated to 61/05 OCC Golf Wing Platoon 3
For all you guys, till we meet again 21 weeks later
To the kopitiam boys aka night snack boys, the armskote helpers
and the wonderful memories you guys all brought me, and remember
our run back from elephant hill after MRPT! Pah Buay Toh!
