A close friend that I made here advises me to count my blessings, and I really will.

I have not been travelling much. Feeling like I should be travelling more, like, almost every weekend, but I have no idea, don't know the means of how to travel.

The last Sunday were bad days because of many bad incidents. Firstly, I cut myself while chopping up shallots :( Secondly, the trip me and my NUS friends went together on ended up with us going to visit a house that has nobody inside instead of a winery that we were supposed to find. Thirdly, I lost my student card while on the trip. Fourthly, we got asked for Proof of Age while getting alcohol, and all of it was confiscated when only one of us could not prove our age >.> Went back to my hall feeling very sad.

Me eating alone sadly has drawn a rather big crowd of people to eat together in the same table. Of course, I had to hide the sadness lingering in my heart. This is when my new good friend appeared. We talked to each other, I shared my troubles and bad events that happened. She told me to count my blessings and bad luck to not last. We talked for a long time, it made me feel much better, so I decided to reward her with me cooking for dinner.

However, things took a turn today. Today was a great day indeed! I received an e-mail saying that somebody picked up my card and wants to return it to me! It made me really happy to see that card again. Thank you, guy who returned my Student Card. Dinner was great as well. I finally succeeded in making the baked rice that I have always wanted to make. The people around me tried and liked it as well, I was so elated. My good friend liked it a lot as well, as evidently seen in the speed she finished her somewhat small portion.

I will know to count my blessings. You have bad days, that's okay. You have good days, appreciate them. Thank you, to my angel that made my exchange life so much better. Let me contribute back to your life.
