I remember what made me blog so frequently a long time ago, studying. I always get so distracted when I have to study.

Tonight I'm missing my Europe travels very much, it doesn't even matter that I am still on exchange. I love Italy. It's one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful country I've ever been to. I wish I could go back to Florence, and maybe visit Cinque Terre. And I couldn't have asked for better company on my trip, I'm sure it also made all the difference.

22 feels different.

Or is it supposed to feel different?

To be honest, this was one of the most special birthdays I've had. It wasn't due to any over-the-top celebration or the usual surprise parties, but it was all about the new company, and being in a foreign place (but the best place) away from my familiar faces.

I've always said that the best birthday present I could possibly have this year is having the opportunity to go on exchange in His land. I know I've said this one too many times, but Israel has truly been nothing short of amazing. Looking back on the last four months, God really prepared a place for me here and blessed me with the best company ever. I shall save my shout-outs for another posts, but the Singaporeans living with me are one of the most earnest people I've ever met and I could never have asked for better company.

And so I'm 22 now, but I still feel extremely loved.

Ohana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. My Israel family. 

It's almost the end of May already.

I miss the days when I would have blogged about every single lame details of my life, I guess I just got lazy.

I spent the greater part of May in Turkey and Greece, it was a good get away. But I'm guessing holidays are always a good idea.

I'm down to the last month of my exchange in Israel and I'm not sure how time flew by so quickly, I'm going to miss this so much. I really don't want to return to Singapore but I guess that's not an option. At the very least, I've still got Hong Kong and Korea to look forward to. I keep going back to these countries, I promise it was unintentional.

Recently I've been hit with this bout of melancholy, I'm sure it's not home-sickness, but I'm not quite sure what it is. Let's just hope I get better soon.
