2011 Favourite Songs

I was planning this post since I was in Vietnam. I thought it was a great idea to list the top 3 songs (in accordance to language) that I've been listening to on repeat during the whole year. After doing these lists, it gave me an insight on my past year - the highlights, midlights and lowlights. When I listen to one of these songs again I tend to associate it with a particular memory. Most of the time, the memory that is linked to that song has no corrolation to the lyrics, so no need to find any hidden meanings for those love songs :P

Stay with Me has a peculiar origin. I watched a fanvideo for this
book-turned-to-TV-show and loved the song right off the bat.
I fall asleep to it now. I wish there was a MV for it though,
it'll definitely be dramatic.

Hehe, all these songs are from dramas I've watched...

Flying Get is from Hana Kimi 2011 whilst the
other two are from Detective Conan.

CHALLENGE: DO SOMETHING NEW EACH MONTH


Vietnam Airlines
CHALLENGE o2: Get to the airport by myself.


Since I'm going to the airport by myself, I need to plan everything and make sure nothing goes wrong. It feels so daunting, because I've got no one to rely on. If anything happens, I'll have to figure it out myself and need to be confident enough to get help when I need it.

Anyways, this post will just contain all the information I need to actually get myself to the airport.

Anyways, I'm about to set off. I can't help feeling so excited despite not sleeping at all. Yeah, I ended up just painting my nail, watching drama etc just to keep myself awake. I don't want to miss my plane, so this is my sacrifice. Afterall, I can catch up on sleep once I hop on the plane. It's just waiting at the airport for 3-4hours that's gonna be hell.

Alright, time to go.

Farewell my friends, I'll see you soon.
