Farewell, Summer and heylo, Autumn! You’re my favourite
season not only because the days won’t be as stinking hot like they have been
for the past three months, but because my BIRTHDAY’s in Autumn, and I’ve
scrounged around and compiled a fairly extensive wishlist of everything I’d
like for my birthday!XD
(1)
A Tale For the Time
Being - Ruth Ozeki: okay, I’ve got lotsa books featured in my birthday
wishlist; all are novels I found from the Goodreads e-newsletter, and while I
may not exactly remember what the book was about, it must’ve been interesting
for me to kick start my birthday wishlist with this novel, so somebody get me
this please! XD
(2)
These Broken Stars by
Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner : stars usually signify science fiction novels,
and since everyone should know what a huge sci fi buff I am, someone get me
this book, please!
(3) Long Walk to Freedom by Nelson Mandela:
actually, I didn’t get this book from the Goodreads e-newsletter but rather
from news.com.au; see, that day, I was at the Greenslopes private hospital for
some minor eye surgery, and sitting in the waiting room early that morning, the
news of Mandela’s passing was the only item being featured on the television
screen. I’d really like to learn more about his life; I wonder how much time he
wasted being trapped like I am now in my disabled body?? ><
(3)
The Invention of Wings
by Sue Monk Kidd (Goodreads): I will honestly confess: while I have heard of
this author before, I’ve never tried reading any of her works, but hey, if I’ve
added this book to my wishlist, it must be worth reading; somebody please get
it for me! XD
(4)
I’ve just noticed I’ve
just two/three/even more items numbered (3) ,,, well, maths has never been my
forte! XD Red Rising by Pierce Brown: I’ve noted down that this one’s a science
fiction novel, and although I’ve never heard of this author before, the book
certainly sounds interesting!
(5)
Taboo: Kwany, so far
you appear to be the gamemaster: you’ve gotten me Pictionary and Scattergories,
how about you and Mel Mel get me Taboo for my birthday this year? I
particularly love the red squeaky toy that comes with the game for use when any
forbidden words are slipped in! XD
(6)
Grain Brain by David Puttimeter:
Can’t quite remember where this one came from … might be the book somebody
wrote about cutting grains from one’s diet? But it sounds interesting…
(7)
The Martian by Andy
Weir (Goodreads): With a title like this, it’s gotta be a sci fi novel! I’m
always on the lookout for new science fiction novels! XD
Archtype - by M.D. Waters :
I really can’t remember what this book’s about … besides, ‘archtype’ isn’t even
a recognised word in the Microsoft word databank, but hey, if I’ve put it down,
it must be worth reading; somebody get me that please! XD
(8)Terms and Conditions by Rglancy Robert:
sounds interesting … terms and conditions always apply to everything, so while
I can’t remember what this book’s about, it must be worth reading; someone get
me this, please!
(9) Battle Scars by Stuart
O'Grady: sounds violent but interesting and worth a read, thanks in advance,
someone! XD
(10) Bolster: I think that’s
what they’re called; in canto we call them ‘larm jum’, you know, a long
cylindrical pillow you wrap your legs around and sleep with? I used to have
one, but mother tossed it out when it got old, and I want a new one, please!
Apparently, you can find them at kmart? Just a plain cylindrical one will do;
for the time being, mother’s lent me her triangular one, and sometimes, my dumb
left leg’s too stupid to know where it should wrap around the thing! XD
(11) Two new goldfish: Poor
Silver and Bronze passed away during the Winter of 2008 and I know this time
around: if anyone gets me two new goldfish, will you please also buy me a
heater for the tank so the temperature of the water can be regulated so the silly
things won’t perish from the cold during the winter months??
(12) Catching Fire DVD: yes, thought I’d bring my birthday wishlist up to a dozen even items;
Meow Meow XD and Kwany, you guys got me the first movie for Christmas last
year; how about you get me the second for my birthday? XD
birthday party wise … Karen,
didn’t you say you’d organise one for me this year?? XD I’d like to have a
small party @ the Calamvale and Chinese BBQ Restaurant (‘Sun Lok Yuen’ in
Cantonese), otherwise someone introduced me to this DUMPLING restaurant called
something like ‘Harajuku Dumplings’ in the city, and what with dumplings being
my FAVOURITE food (boiled, fried or steamed), I wouldn’t mind a birthday party
there, either! :D
But of course, everyone
should know about my obsession for the Despicable Me minions, so anything
minion-related wise, I want! :D
go forth, everyone, and
secure me Christmas presents! XD
Next post here … if I’m
organised, it should be that movie review I watched with Fiona so of Ronin 47;
if I’m not, you won’t hear from me again until march the 19th, when
I write out my birthday reflections for 2014! XD Righteo, until then~
Cheers,
Em. ^^
