MY PLAN, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE MADNESS WITHOUT ONE

[misterwalnut]

Two more days until Christmas eve. Until then, I must

1. Find a gift for my baby bro. We share an inexplicable fondness for trains (growing up in China with relatives scattered in every city does that to you, I suppose), and he hinted at wanting one with all the subtlety of a trainwreck (...lol) - so I already know what I'm looking for. The real challenge here will be scouting for the best bargain: Dollarama is out of the question, because this just ain't the right time of year to be stingy, and Mastermind is a little too - upper crust for my budget. If you live in the GTA, please recommend an affordable children's toy store.


2. Learn to cook up some tasty Szechuan cuisine for my parents. As I have failed to boil eggs in the past, my cooking ability does not exactly inspire confidence. the scarborough takeouts can duly expect a visit from yours truly at the very last minute.


3. Pick up some intimate, meaningful (read: inexpensive) gifts for my friends. ...no doubt they'll be doing the same for me, lolol

After Christmas, we can all relax and enjoy ourselves. AND DON'T YOU KNOW IT, I HAVE A PLAN FOR THIS AS WELL:

1. Boxing Week
   DAY 1, 26th: Downtown/Eaton-raiding with friends.


2. DAY 2, 26th: More Downtown/Eaton-raiding for the stuff we hesitated to buy the day before.


3. DAY 3, 27th: STC-raiding to meet up with some old high school friends.


4. DAY 4, 28th: Possibly skiing, possibly Vaughan Mills-raiding to meet up with other friends.


5. DAY 5, 29th-30th: Either family quality time or pre-New Year's Party


6. DAY 6: 31st: (see previous) Either family quality time or New Year's Party


7. DAY 7: Snowboarding trip!

As I am infamous for coming up with tl;dr plans and immediately forgoing it once the list is finished, half of the shit I've written in this post will probably be forgotten. BUT IT'S WORTH A TRY, BEING STRUCTURED FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE. god I make an awful asian
