Since i hadn't had enough sleep, it's hard to get enough sleep when they're showing Ma Xiao Ling on Tv on Sunday nights (i like the story, not the girl), and not having anything to talk about, and having a little too much on my mind which i do not talk about, i've decided to blog a little about what anyone can buy me for Christmas. Yeah, another of my cheap shot at getting christmas presents.
As some of you would know, i have a hobby in collectible cards, namely Magic the Gathering. But do not buy me any Magic the Gathering products because if there is any card that i wanted, i would have bought it myself already. Even books, i buy them as they get released. Unless you're planning to buy me a 1000usd Black Lotus. And if you did, i would say you're siao (insane).
The easiest buy for me would actually be books. Well.. i've been hoping to get The Annotated Alice. But then, there is game theory involved. What if you (whoever) gave me the book, but someone else who also reads this blog (whoever) also gives me the book. Then i would have two or more copies of The Annotated Alice. Conversely, if everyone thought the same way (that someone else was gonna give it to me), than i would have zero copies of The Annotated Alice.
One way around the game theory problem is to call dibs on the book in the comments section, then the rest would know not to get me the book. Not that i think anyone is gonna get me Christmas presents lol : D Think of it as a form of Pascal's Wager.
Alternatively, if anyone wanted to buy me a book, he/she could get me a book that's not The Annotated Alice. So i'll provide a list of books which i already have, as far as i could remember, so that he/she would know what genre of books i prefer.
- Harry Potter One to Four
- Pain in the Neck by Grace Chow
- Dan Brown's books, the two which has Robert Langdon as main character in it.
- Memoirs of a Geisha
- Dragonlance, combined with my cousin, i think we have almost the entire collection
- Asiapac Comics, combined with my cousins, i think we have almost the entire collection of the older books.
- Celestial Zone comic, i stopped somewhere in the middle of series one. You could be a darling and buy me the rest of series one and the whole of series two : p
- Two serial killer books by Mark Billingham (Scary huh, me reading these books.) I have Scaredy Cat and Sleepy Head.
There is an alternative wishlist which is not much different from Runnin' Kid's.
