Well, hello, hello, hello! And a pinch and a punch to you all for the 1st of December! But the start of the silly/festive season also brings the publication of something super-important: my Christmas wish list! XD
Even from a young age, I’d put together a list of things I wanted each year for Christmas. Back when I was still in primary school, they were small things, like a small torch for my room, or a bag of marbles to play with, etc. but me being almost 2.5 decades old now, my list has grown fancier, too. XD anyways, here’s what I want for Christmas this year, Santa! (and I reckon I’ve been fairly well behaved this year, so I’m at least expecting some of the items I’m requesting! :P)
(1) A Kngdom Besieged by Raymond E Feist – this guy’s my favouritest fantasy author of all time, so when I received the Borders online catalogue advertising his newest book, it was the first to go on my wish list! XD
(2) My Blue Nose Friends keyring – there’s just something adorable about this teddy who got left out in the snow and got so cold his fur turned grey and his nose turned blue!
(3) Darren Lockeyer’s autobiography – I think my Australian godmother said she’d get me this for Christmas!
(4) Kelly Clarkson CD and Linkin Park CD – yup, Westlife is, undoubtedly, my favouritest band ever (hence why I’m devastated that they’re calling it quits *wails* ><) but I’ve always enjoyed the music by Kelly Clarkson and Linkin Park, too. Hey, allow me to be angsty every so often! XD
(5) Heaven’s Net Is Wide by Lian Hearn – I own the first three books all combined as one massive hardcover, and I love how she’s combined Japanese historical fiction and magic all into one enthralling series.
(6) Scattergories board game – actually, I don’t even know if this comes as a board game! XD but I played it for the first time at the WAUFAKAP social, and fell in love with it! It’s available online too, but with only a three minute time limit.
(7) Walking stick – sorry, this one will feature in all my wish lists to come. See, the problem is that when I walk, I don’t really trust my own two legs, and desperately need to hold onto sth that touches the ground, whether that be a walking stick, or somebody else’s hand. See, if I’m holding onto someone’s hand, they touch the ground when they walk, and I therefore touch the ground through them. Sadly, my mother has decided that I’m not to hold onto anyone while I w alk, nor am I allowed to use a walking stick, hence my desperate craving for one. Besides, the physios have taught me that if I’m to walk well, my right leg must pass my left leg. I can manage that just fine when I’m holding onto something that touches the ground, but, when denied that, am simply too fearful to take a big right step over my left foot, for fear I will go hurtling to the ground. It’s happened before.><
(8) X-men: First Class DVD – mother and I went to see this movie together, and it’s simply an awesome movie!
(9) Shatner Rules (William Shatner’s autobiography) this man played James T. Kirk in Star Trek! Of course I want his autobiography; I’m a diehard Trekkie! XD
(10) Kobo touch e-reader – okay, this is something I saw from the Borders e-catalogue that looks vaguely interesting … I’ve always just bought the book itself to read, I’ve never tried using an e-reader before! But it sounds interesting (and I’m sure it’d be tons lighter, too! XD)
(11) Farts: A Spotter’s Guide – okay, this book borders on the … well, insane! XD but it sounds intriguing; worth a good read, surely! XD
(12) Death of Kings by Bernard Cornwell – this one’s prolly just some random book I found while reading the Border’s e-catalogue! XD
(13) Teddy bear – another thing I always have on my wish lists. I wuv teddies. ^^
(14) Two more goldfish – this is to replace poor Silver and Bronze, who passed away in the Winter of 2008.
(15) A new computer mouse and mouse pad. See, we’ve been using the current optical mouse and mouse pad for at least three years, and I think it’s starting to age. I play speed-related games, and it’s awfully annoying when you’re trying to move the mouse in a certain direction, but it’s not responding! >< (A/N: uncle yuk tai was awesome and brought me over a new mouse! the only thing is, the button you click is very small, not like the standard half-half size shared by the left and right mouse buttons. now, god's left poor ela more or less useless, but he's left my right hand pretty shoddy with fine motor skills; the mouse responds totally accurately now, but after i move the pointer to where i want it, it takes time for me to find the clicky part to click it! ><
(16) electric toothbrush – I remember the Chow sisters gave me one for last Christmas/the Christmas before, but sorry, it passed away recently. Well, technically, it didn’t pass away, but it’d just automatically turn itself on during the middle of the night, and refuse to turn itself back off! In the end, mother ripped the battery from it, and it finally shut up. XD but I’d like a new one, please!
(17) a box of frosties – yup, I know, it’s unhealthy cereal, but it’s my favourite! The last box I ate was tipped out coz it was invaded by ants … >< if I get a new box this Christmas, must come up with a better way of keeping it ant proof!
(18) one of those plastic cups with my name on it – I used to have a yellow one that read ‘Emily’, and my dad had a blue one that read ‘Michael’. I used it to brush my teeth every night, until the mug grew so old, it’s handle fell off! XD I’d like a new one, please! Think you can get them from Granny Mays.
(19) Me To You At Christmas CD - I wuv Me To You teddies! Bet his CD's worth getting! XD
(20) A new manual wheelchair - see, my current one I got back in 2007, when God first ruined my life, but it's getting old and worn. Besides, it's not very light weight, and I'm certain that every carer/life coach/support worker/whatever they're called now :P has heard mother gripe on and on about how heavy it is for her to get from the boot and put back in. And, seeing that we're returning to Hong Kong early next year, I'll like a lightweight one so that mother won't put out her back putting the manual wheelchair in the taxi boot, like she somehow did when we returned to Hong Kong last year.
Righteo, that’s the last from me, Santa. Cheers to you. ~
Cheerws,
Em. ^^
