Dear 2009,

You are going to be a very different year from the ones before. And so accordingly, my resolutions for you will be very different. There will be a lot less superficial ambition and more honesty. In fact, there is only One resolution and I am proud to have completed it in time for 1 Jan. That is:

I have washed my 7-year-old pair of utterly filthy and very loved Adidas sneakers (which I have never seen outside out Labuan, a tiny island in Malaysia).

Those shoes have been on 3 continents and for the 40 SGD I paid for them, they have served me far better and longer than any other pair before, and maybe even since. They will be hard to replace when they eventually breakdown (perhaps 15 years from now).

P.S- These, however, are very very very tempting:

EDIT 2: WHAT THE HELL HOUSE S5 EPISODE 7, WHAT. THE. BLOODY. HELL. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNOWHYSTUPIDFREAKYWALRUSES

Dear Lord, I Have to go on a BBC marathon after the exams. Scratch that, English marathon. I've got the entire filmography of Alan Rickman, Jeremy Irons and David Tennant down as well as several seasons of Doctor Who, Torchwood, Blackpool, Casanova, Life on Mars, Brideshead Revisited and, oh yes, every single episode of House to watch/re-watch.

EDIT: CACKLY CACKLE, THE BEST DARN ANTIQUE BAKERY VIDEO EVER RELEASED. Oh yes, they are staying Faithful to the Series alright, down to every boy-love scene (and even a few that weren't there before, not that I'm complaining) 8D

Whatever the future holds, I want to spend my Valentine's Day next year in Taipei.
In a screaming audience of at least 1000 crazy Taiwanese people watching X Japan perform live.
Oh dear God how I want to.

(Or, at the very least, catch them at the one in Hong Kong)
