I was sorting out my things. And i found this piece of paper…almost gone. And i realised the texture, the colour, the folding. True to my feeling, it’s the memorable paper, contains the name & address of the person i’ll always remember.<\/p>\n

He’s the first person in UK who showed me kindness. Suddenly the thought went back to many years ago in the past. How i came as a young teenager in a foreign land, and how this man showed me so much kindness. I will never forget the scene, when he came to my hostel, rode a bicycle, and then passed the bicycle to me. And the parting scene also, when I rode the bicycle to his home and returned it back to him.<\/p>\n

I don’t know if i’d meet him again. But if i’ve a chance to visit Cambridge again, certainly I would love to visit him. And i’d love too, to show kindness to his family. I wonder if any of his children ever come and visit Singapore.<\/p>\n
