Phew, summer has come and gone for another year and soon I
won’t haveta melt every time I step outside of an air-conditioned building. XD
The other reason why autumn’s my favourite season: my
BIRTHDAY’S in march, and I’m hoping that if you read this post, you’ll then
head out and buy me birthday presents! My birthday wishlists are probably
shorter than my Xmas wishlists, but that’s because while I’ve got an entire
nine months to concoct a detailed wishlist for Santa to fulfil, only four
months separate Christmas and my birthday~ Anyways, here’s what I’m hoping I’ll
receive for my birthday this year around:
(1)
Books – yup, this item will most likely always be the
first item mentioned in any wishlist I post out. Yes, Samuel Enderby did take
me to the Lifeline Bookfest sometime during the start of the year and yes, I
also have the twelve books I go through each year for book club, but I also
subscribe to several e-newsletters from bookstores and whenever my inbox
receives a new update, my wishlist will grow by several items! My three
favourite genres are fantasy, science fiction and historical fiction but
seriously, I’m willing to give anything bar Mills and Boon a go. XD Oh, I’d
really like the 8th Harry Potter book, please! But apparently that
won’t come out until at least halfway through the year … anyone willing to
preorder that for me?? ^^
(2)
E-reader – I reckon every wishlist should include one
expensive item. XD To be honest, I have absolutely no idea how expensive
e-readers are; I’m not even sure if I’ll enjoy reading from one (as opposed to
holding some actual book and turning paper pages) but hey, surely it can’t hurt
to try! Perhaps several people could group together to get me this costly
present?
(3)
Teddy – again, another item found in both wishlists I
post out each year. As always promised, all my teddies are named and yes, all
are loved. Although my teddy collection may suffer from gender inequality …
does anyone know why almost all my teddies are boys? Thinking about it now, I
think I’ve only got two females in my entire stuffed toy collection! (Ladies,
you may take that as a not-very subtle hint to get me teddies for my birthday
this year. XD)
(4)
Pet – yes, I will freely admit that I am guilty of the
involuntary manslaughter of poor Silver and Bronze (the two goldfish that Pole’s
family gave me back in 2008) but come on, it’s 2016 now and surely I deserve
another chance?? Another option’s to get me a pet rock (when Luke
Mac Court first told me about them, I seriously
thought he was pulling my leg, but a quick Google search revealed to me that
there are actually entire WEBPAGES devoted to pet rocks! XD) – see, those
critters don’t require food, water or heaters to keep them alive!
(5)
Minions – apparently, the entire CHURCH is aware that I
am completely obsessed with these yellow, jellybean-shaped creatures. I already
received several minion items last year but seriously, I just simply cannot get
enough of them. XD
See, only five things in my
birthday wishlist this year. Guess I’m just not an overly materialistic person.
XD Well, I reserve the right to add to it while the month progresses!
Next post here … maybe how I
celebrated my birthday this year, or the movie review of the latest James Bond
flick I saw with Ray and Sisi at the end of last year. Or the movie review of
the latest Star Wars film I saw with Mr. Hall, also at the end of last year!
Anyways, until then~
Cheers,
Em. ^^
