Our Journey in NDTC

JTQT NCSO (RNS) CL I-MGB 1/06

In a day in July our journey began,

NDTC is the new foreign land.

Pass this course we know we can,

If we unite hand in hand.

*****

Staff Chan is our commander,

How we wished it were forever.

His new methods, we learnt better

And rules that made us surrender! J

*****

And then here comes our Mr. Pun,

Whose presence is a direct boon.

The rise of the sun and the set of the moon,

He taught us all without feeding from a spoon.

*****

Rumours tainted our views of Staff Sebastian,

But no longer so after a whole day of lessons.

That yellow watch may not be a fashion,

But he’s flexible and competent!

*****

Dogwatch is what our TC believes.

But once we know our SI’s on leave,

Or even CAT 1 weather’s achieved,

Nothing can hide our immediate relief!

*****

Sentosa’s where we took a break,

Tracom’s birthday to celebrate.

That game we were told to participate,

Emerging as winners is not mere fate!

*****

After that comes Tracom Sprint,

A day of gruelling run and swim.

We pit our energy in this once-only stint,

But SI sir we still couldn’t win!

*****

Tests after tests we had to face,

One by one we managed to ace.

Hard work and diligence come into place,

Lessons by instructors never gone to waste.

*****

There was once that we made them frowned,

One wrong step cost the trust they had found.

In one common voice that gives us one sound,

“Never again shall we let them down!”

*****

One major project, the classroom painting,

Time and again there were rejected planning.

Weeks and weeks of silent complaining,

The room now seems much more happening!

*****

And now that the course has come to its end,

Five stronger people still stand hand in hand.

As we await our new journey commence,

Instructors: We have you all to thank!
