Geeky Pleasures Part Deux

It's a new year and I finally received the message that my pre-order was ready for collection. This was the largest and most expensive toy that I've owned. It's a Transformers Masterpiece MP22 Ultra Magnus. I've pre-ordered together with MP21 and I'm really happy that I got it at the pre-order price.

I'm knew that it would be a bad idea to wander around China Square Central (CSC) before I collect my pre-order. I've been searching for the Bandai Star Wars model kit all the way from Seoul and even planned to get it online until it was sold out. I managed to find it at one of the shops in CSC at a reasonable price. The shop I collected MP22 has it at $10 more. Once I've collected my MP22, I proceeded to get the model kit which I've been wanting for so long. I may return to get the X-Wing and TIE Fighter. I'll get the Darth Vader online somewhere.

I've started another reading goal for 2015 which Goodreads encourages and track of my progress. I targeted to complete 15 books by the end of the year. Currently I have 5 books on the rack and another 1 coming in 3 weeks time (BookDepository). I've been bumping into Murakami's The strange Library for a while and finally decides to get it from Kinokuniya, while on the way to CSC.
