A bit of old times..

I was looking thru some of the stuffs i brought back from my old house yesterday, and i found this very old letter that i received when i was still in Uni. It was a thank you note for being a volunteer in one of the welcoming programme for the juniors. It goes:

To all the helpers of Welcoming Programme,

Greetings from us. How are you? We hope you are doing well. And how have your holidays been?

This is a note to say a BIG THANK YOU for being a part of Welcoming Programme family as a helper. We really appreciate that you are willing to give us a hand. One HELP means a lot.

Here's something to ponder on.

One SONG can spark a moment
One FLOWER can wake the dream
One TREE can start a forest
One BIRD can herald spring
One SMILE begins a friendship
One HANDCLASP lifts a soul
One STAR can guide a ship at sea
One WORD can frame the goal
One VOTE can change a nation
One SUNBEAM lights a room
One CANDLE wipes out darkness
One LAUGH will conquer gloom
One STEP can start a journey
One WORD can start a prayer
One HOPE will raise our spirit
One TOUCH can show you care
One VOICE can speak with wisdom
One HEART can know what is true
One LIFE can make a difference
One IDEA can change the world
One SONG can spark a moment

Wishing you a good day and may you have a wonderful semester ahead.

Seriously, i couldnt remember what i did as a volunteer at that time. Was i involved in taking care of the newcomers in their dormitories? Was i involved in organizing the activities to help the newcomers feel like at home? Was i one of the people who provide advices on studies and also surviving skill in a new place? I have no idea at all... cos i've done all those above.

And sitting together with this letter was a small handmade Christmas songbook. As i flipped open the pages, memories came flashing in my mind. Yes, it was our song book when i took part in a Christmas Carol one year, while i was away from home studying in another state. For those who know me well, there is no surprise that i love to sing and dance. So it is a natural thing for me to join the carol. It was fun, i get to meet with a lot of new people, new friends and new experiences. And that was when i learned how to play the guitar (for a while - but i dunno how now).

The Christmas bug just hit me... :)
