Birthday Wishlist 2017

If you read my previous post about the despair I felt marking ten years since the cruel and unfaithful God so wantonly destroyed my entire life with the disabling brain tumour, never fear, because the next day I awoke and felt very excited that I therefore had a good chance to be around for my momentous birthday (I’m turning thirty this year!) Now, since today’s March the 1^st, get ready for another instalment of my birthday wishlist!

(1)            Books – yup, like I explain every time I bash out a wishlist, books will probably be the first item I ask for, always. Never mind that the cruel and unfaithful God has left me so slow at reading that it’s almost all I can do to struggle through one book a month; also never mind that He has also taken away so much of my English reading ability that I often come across words I dunno the meaning of, I’ve always been a bookworm and will always love burying my face into a novel! My favourite genres are fantasy, science fiction and historical fiction but hey, I’m willing to give anything bar Mills and Boon a crack. XD

(2)            Minions – apparently, the entire church family of BCAC is aware of my obsession with these yellow, jellybean-shaped creatures. I love the one-eyed ones better than the two-eyed ones but seriously, I <3 ALL the minions and simply can’t get enough of them!

(3)            Pirate coconuts – this here can be my newest obsession after the minions. See, mother took me to see the cartoon movie Moana during the hottest of Summer, and my favourite part of the movie was when the PIRATE COCONUTS came out to play! XD Not sure if they’re available anywhere yet, though …

(4)            Teddy Bear – another item you’ll most undoubtedly find in every wishlist I publish. Yes, each teddy has a name and yes, all are loved~

(5)            Mobile phone – hey, I’ve been using my current one since like 2012, or the days of Small Group: Team April and Ray! Dad’s changed work mobiles @ least once, while mother’s upgraded hers twice (and in the process for looking for a third, I believe) and I’m still stuck using the same old Huawei! Any chance somebody will get me a mobile that’s recent enough to play Pokemon Go?? XD

(6)            Pet – I understand that I’m not to be trusted with live animals again after my involuntary manslaughter of poor Silver and Bronze back in 2008, but hey, they’ve been in heaven for almost nine years and surely I can be trusted with a live pet again?? XD Otherwise, I want a pet rock!!

(7)            E-Reader – Santa didn’t bring me this when I asked him for one last Christmas, but I’m trying again coz while some people need to feel paper pages to read, I’ve tried using an e-reader before and can read just fine!

(8)            Cards – Yup, this year, I’m after thirtieth birthday cards! Unless you buy from the Reject Shop those numbered birthday cards, I’m pretty sure you can’t find twenty-sixth, twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth or twenty-ninth birthday cards anywhere, but I’m turning the big three zero and there are definitely thirtieth birthday cards out there and I want some!

(9)            iPod – Back in 2008, my Australian godmother got me an iPod Nano for Christmas. However, my dad nabbed it so he could have music to listen to while he did his deliveries during the day and he must have somehow overworked it coz then it perished! Please will someone get me a new one; otherwise I will be bored senseless come August when I’m lying flat on my back waiting for the neurosurgeon to come reset my shunt’s pressure settings after my MRI so I can finally sit upright again!

(10)         Book stand – see, sometimes the books I get for our monthly book club are pretty thick ones; also, my librarian understands that I’ve got crappy eyesight and often saves the large print edition of the book for me. (I can read normal print just fine, but it takes extra attention to focus on small writing, especially if there’s not much space between the lines). I used to have this book stand made from plastic; the page holder @ the bottom of the stand snapped off coz the books I was putting in were too big! I even did the same with the wooden book stand! Dunno where one buys bookstands from, but will someone please get me a new one?

Hmm … have already asked for ten things this year; I’d best end the wishlist here else people think I’m a greedy guts and don’t get me ANY birthday presents! XD Just remember that I reserve the right to add to this wishlist as I go along~ XD

Next post here … prolly either how I spent my birthday or the movie review of Moana! Righteo, until then~

Cheers,

Em. ^^
P.S. Oh, when mother noticed me writing this blog post last week, she jeered @ me, "Didn't you read what Michael Chi Kit Leung wrote? Nobody wants to read all your verbose language!" If that's the case, please just read the number, glance right for the item I'm after then jump down to the next number. XD
