Yoo hoo, Santa! Haven’t spoken to you for just under one
year; how are you doing? When I posed for a photo with you last year, I finally
remembered to ask you how you spend the rest of the year, because nobody ever
really hears from Santa during the other eleven months of the year and I really
laughed when you told me, “Sleeping! It’s extremely exhausting, you know,
having to deliver so many presents all around the world in just one night!” XD
Anyways, I hope you had a great rest and are again gearing
up for your mammoth present delivery, coz there are quite a few items I’m
hoping you’ll bring me for Christmas this year!
(1)
Books – each year, I put out two wish
lists. One’s the one I’m writing for you now, Santa, for Christmas and the
other one’s for my birthday, which comes around in March. Undoubtedly, at the
top of every wish list I write will be BOOKS. Never mind that post disabling
brain injury I read so pathetically slowly it takes me almost one month to plough
through one measly book, the fact is that I’ll always be an avid reader who’s
forever on the search for a new book to stick my nose into! 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 Oh, one book I’m after in
particular’s that new book by Garth Nix! I loved the His Dark Materials series
(in fact, I own the trilogy) and would dearly love to read another book set in
that world, please!
(2)
Teddy – another item that always
falls into my two yearly wish lists. Yes, all my teddies are named and yes, all
are loved. Hopefully the Chan family can welcome at least one new addition into
our household this year!
(3)
E-reader – I always add one
expensive item I’m hoping to get, and seeing that I finally got a new mobile
phone after like five years of asking (meanwhile, both parents have updated
TWICE with new phones XD), the newest expensive item I’d like to ask for is an
e-reader! I know some people need to actually feel the paper pages to turn to
be able to read, but I’ve tried reading from one once and nup, I’ve got no
problems with that! I don’t need a fancy waterproof one (when I’m showering, I
don’t have time to read! XD) and to be honest, I’ll confess I have absolutely
zero idea how much those things cost anyway, but maybe several people can chip
in to get me one?
(4)
Nesquik cereal – oh, I usually
have one food item in my wish lists. Yes, I’m aware that Nesquik cereal surely
wouldn’t be considered a ‘healthy’ cereal, but since I like drinking Nesquik
chocolate milk, I’d like to try a box of that cereal, please!
(5)
Minions – apparently, the ENTIRE
church family of BCAC know that I have a complete obsession with the adorable,
jellybean-shaped minions of Despicable Me! Indeed, one of the highlights of my
birthday back in March was when Pastor Grace was taking little Naomi out
shopping to buy some things for my birthday bash, when the adorable little girl
pointed to some minion apparel and said, “Aunty Em!” Aww~ XD I’ve already
received two minion items for Christmas this year but am hoping for more; <3
the minions! :D
(6)
Pet – yet another item that has
probably appeared on every wish list I’ve written since poor Silver and Bronze
passed away in the Winter of 2008. Yes, I’m unfortunately terribly guilty of
involuntary manslaughter (how was I to know that goldfish are so horribly
pathetic they need a heater in their fish tank during Winter to keep them warm
lest they perish from the cold??) but surely I can be trusted with a live pet
again?? Or if not, then I want a pet rock! Luke

Watch – err, actually, I dunno
what those things are really called … er, wristbands? I mean one of those gadgets
that count how many steps you walk each day? *sigh* Sometimes I think the
parents forget how much of a struggle it is for me to walk even a single step;
because walking comes to them as naturally as breathing and thus they can’t
understand why it’s important for me to know how many steps I’ve struggled to
plod on any given day. Somehow, they’ve simply forgotten that the doctor
originally told them, “Your daughter will NEVER walk again. At the very most,
she’ll transfer from the car to her wheelchair and then from her wheelchair
back to the car.” ><” Actually, does anyone know where I might find an
accurate one? See, the one I’m using now has ADHD; when I walk 100 steps he’ll
gimme 500, meaning I haveta divide his total by five to figure out how many steps
I’ve actually done over the course of one day! XD Mother recently ordered me a
new one over EBay but when it arrived, she tried it on then said, “Hey, this
one’s opposite to the one you’re using now, Em; instead of diving by five, I’d
haveta multiply by like 1.5! to get an accurate number!” XD
(8)
Gingerbread man – yes, I know I’ve
already asked for one food item in this Christmas wish list Santa, but what can
I say? I’m a greedy guts and the way to my heart is through my stomach: feed me
and I’ll love you forever. XD I’ve seen gingerbread man ads from Coles; could
someone please get me one?
Hmm … I’ve already run outta
things to ask you for, Santa; guess I’m just not very materialistic! XD Anyhow,
I reserve the right to add to this list if further items pop up, but for now,
Santa, could you please ask all your Christmas elves (i.e. all my Facebook
friends who’ll read this XD) to start getting me Christmas presents??
Next post here … should be my
Christmas Greetings for 2017, due out on the 11th. Anyhow, until
then!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
