I don't have a single resolution yet. I can't think of any this time.
I'm not much of a planner, so I guess I will do things all in due time.
...
In the spirit of Christmas, I dug through all my old books to find and read A Wallflower Christmas again.
Its my favorite holiday book :)
Christmas this year is a pretty event, complete with unexpected presents and awesome souvenirs from Korea (Shyung actually remembered I wanted a snowglobe and brought back 2 boxes of strawberries and Yung was awesome enough to buy me BB posters and allow me to steal one of the (oversized) hoodie he bought for himself).
Anyway, Singapore had some really awesome Christmas trees.
I wish I could have seen it all. As it is, I fell sick on Christmas day and everyone was forced to go home early (My uncles and aunt were secretly relieved though).
And so, I spent Christmas watching korean dramas on my lappy (Tae Kyung-oppa!)
Thankfully, I had visited Kinokuniya on Friday, where my bestest (yet!) Christmas present came in the form of my aunt telling me to "Go get whatever you want, and meet me here (at the entrance)."
At that moment, I did feel like a little kid at a candy store.
I ran straight to the Art section and got myself Yoshitaka Amano artbooks (Mateki; The Magic Flute, The Tale of Genji and Fairies) as well as National Geographic's Essential Visual History of the World to add to my collection.
I will pay back half of that though. I had to get all the Yoshitaka Amano artbooks at a go only because I can't find them in Malaysia, and they were the last copies in Kino (or so I was told).
Borders here used to have Amano's Coffin; The Art of Vampire Hunter D, but I haven't seen it since.
I hope its still around.
Ah, speaking of that, I promised Yung I won't buy books for the next 10 months. We're planning a trip to Korea next autumn. I guess that counts as a resolution. I'm going to leave myself a loophole though, because anyone who knows me will know that I can't possibly keep that promise. Maybe, one book a month?
Hard chance though, considering Yung will have total control of my atm card soon.

Random photos from Singapore.
Is this Orchard Central? I have no idea. The building looks good though.
You can adopt these bears! Unfortunately, only after New Year's, I think.
