What do you do when the family is sick of steamboats? We go to TODAI (located in Marina Bay Sands)! My entire family (plus grandma etc) headed down to the international buffet spread last night for an early reunion dinner. The food was amazing! More pictures of the gang after the jump!

I don't do resolutions. But I've been reflecting a lot lately. While I'll let new projects simmer a little in my head (and heart) for awhile, here are some things I want to do this 2012:
