It’s December! Heylo, Santa!
Do you remember me?? I hope so, coz I’ve had a whole nine months (my birthday’s
in March) to create a whopping big Christmas wishlist of all the presents I’m
hoping you’ll get for me this year!
(1)
You and Me: this
album’s Shane Filan’s debut solo album! You know, I was heartbroken never to
have seen the Westlife boys live in concert (Pole and I had bought tickets to
see their Brisbane concert in 2007, only that was the same time the cruel and
unfaithful God decided to totally destroy my life with that disabling brain
tumour ><) but since Shane’s going solo, I wanna hear how he sounds!
Although I’m not sure will Brisbane sell his album … they were too stupid to
sell any of westlife’s … may haveta ask any of my awesome friends/beloved
family from Hong Kong or Canada to send me this present …
(2)
Hunger Games DVD: You know, I owe the fact that I owe the three books to my school (the
first two books) and church (the third book) peers, and now that I’ve finished
reading them, I want the movie DVD! Just the
first one; isn’t the second one now showing @ the cinemas? Well, if someone
gets me the first movie for Christmas, we can go see the second one @ the
cinemas together!
(3)
Backscratcher:
this is a random Christmas wishlist item … not sure how it appeared … prolly
one night after mother had already booted me off to bed at some ungodly
ridiculously early hour of the night and I was wriggling around in bed trying
my hardest to (a) relieve the annoying itch and (2) not accidentally tumble
outta bed. XD
(4) the
Physics of Star Trek by Laurence M. Krauss
(4)
Yes, I will
proudly admit to being a diehard Trekkie. XD I probably won’t understand this
book at all, considering I only did biology in high school, and never even
tried chemistry let alone physics, but hey, lemme pretend to be smart, okay??
XD
(5)
The Ghost Bride
by Tangsze Choo: Yes, the next few items
are all probably from the Bookworld e-newsletter I subscribe to; I have no
recollection of reading about this book, but if I added it onto my wishlist, it’s
probably worth getting. XD
(6)
The People in The
Trees by Hanya Gihara: okay, the next few items are probably all gonna be books
I have zero recollection of hearing about, but sounded interesting, so yeah,
someone get me this please!
(7)
The Reason I Jump:
the Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism by Naoki Higashida: I
thought people with autism were very reticent and socially withdrawn … yet if a
thirteen year old suffering from autism penned his memoirs, I certainly want to
read it! And with a name like that, I’m presuming he’s Japanese … and if it got
translated into English, it must be worth reading!
(8)
The
Gravity of Birds by Tracey Guzeman: more books I can’t remember reading about
appearing on this wishlist … well, I’ve never been a bird enthusiast, but the
same logic applies: if I added it into my wishlist, it must be worth reading.
Someone get me this too, please! XD
(9)
The
Bone Season by Samantha Shannon: okay, I promise, this is the last book
appearing consecutively that I can’t recall reading about; actually, it sounds
downright scary/creepy, but I’ll be brave and try to read it if someone buys
this book for me! XD
(10)
Earth
Unaware by Orson Scott Card and Aaron Johnstone: every Thursday fortnight, I
hit garbo with a carer. The library is our first stop. Now, the deal I have
negotiated with mother is that I must walk to the library and pick out my book
to read before I get to spend the rest of the night shopping in Sparkless 2 (my
manual wheelchair XD) and luckily, one of my favourite author’s surname is
Card. Imagine how much further I’d have to walk if my favourite author’s
surname started with ‘z’! XD anyways, one afternoon, when I’d walked to where
card’s books are held, I noticed a new novel that he’d co-written with some
other dude named Aaron Johnston. I tried it, and it’s a great read! The second
one’s called ‘Earth Afire’. Please will somebody get them both for me?? :D
(11)
Shaman by Kim
Stanley Robinson: Sorry, I keep encountering all these titles that I don’t
remember! XD however, I’ve always been a big fantasy buff, and this title
certainly sounds along the lines of something fantasy related, so yeah: some
get this for me, please! XD
(12)
In the Heart of
Life by Kathy Eldon:
Again, I don’t remember coming across this book, but it sounds inspiring and
therefore worth reading!
(13)
Burial
Rites by Hannah Kent: hmm, I really can’t remember how anything so
creepy-sounding made it’s way onto my Christmas wishlist, but hey. XD
(14)
Me
and Her: a memoir of madness by Karen Tyrell: This book sounds scary, but the
only reason I’m asking for it’s because she must’ve re-found sanity to be able
to pen this memoir. Hopefully worth a read!
(15)
Wendell
Sailor’s Crossing the Line: I’ve always been interested in reading biographies,
and plus, this man was a rugby league legend, so I’d like this memoir, please!
(16)
Google
7” Tablet: here’s the expensive item on my wishlist. Dad got me an ipad back in
2012, so I don’t really see why I would want one of these, but hey, every
wishlist should have @ least one crazily expensive item! XD
(17)
Frosties:
every wishlist should also contain one food item. XD I know this cereal’s
super-unhealthy, but it’s also super-yummy! Weet-bix can get somewhat boring,
you know?? XD
(18)
Two
more goldfish: Poor Silver and Bronze passed away in the Winter of 2008,
because I didn’t know to buy a heater for their fish tank, but I promise I’ve
learnt my lesson!
(19)
Battle
Hymn of the Tiger Mother: isn’t this a book about crazy Chinese mothers always
pushing their children to always be the best and more? Anyways, it sounds
interesting, so someone get me this book please!!
The
Magician and The Magicians by Lev Grossman
(20)
More
books I can’t recall noting down, but because fantasy is one of my favourite
genres to read, somebody please get me this book!
Okay, there are more books I’ve written down on my wishlist,
but I think twenty items are more than enough for you to handle, right, Santa?
Oh, unless you’re willing to get me twenty-one presents this year! In that
case, I’d like a teddy bear, please. Remember, all my teddies are named and yes,
all are loved. XD
So yes, Santa, here’s what I’m hoping for this year. Please
get all your elves (i.e. my Facebook friends who read this XD) to get me as
many of these presents as possible! I honestly reckon I’ve been pretty good and
well-behaved this year, so everyone: go and secure me presents! :D
Cheers,
Em. ^^
P.S. next post here … either my post about one of my physios
while I was still imprisoned in the insane asylum (aka the P.A. hospital to
everyone else XD), otherwise my christmas greetings to everyone come December
the 11th! Righteo, until then~
Cheers,
Em. ^^
P.P.S. Sorry, Santa, one more present I really want from you! My favourite clothing store is JaysJays (never mind that it's designed for sixteen to twenty-four year olds and I'll be 26.75 come December the 20th XD) and there's this super-cool shirt I want from there! It's got a picture of a minion, captioned with the words 'Whatever it is, I didn't do it!" Now, when Julz and Janice took me out to do my Christmas shopping yesterday, Janice measured me and said I'd fit into a small size. So get me that please! XD
