XMas Wishlist 2024

Wow, Santa: it’s been like one whole YEAR since I last contacted you; have you had a good rest during 2024 and are you ready for another epic present delivery this year? I sure hope so, since you’ve actually been ignoring me pretty badly these past several years and I’m feeling rather unloved! I’ve tried my best to be good this year (whether/not I’ve actually succeeded’s another story entirely XD) so you’d better get your act together and bring me lotsa presents! Here’s what I’m after:

(1)               Books – I’ve been a massive bookworm since learning how to read when I was four; it matters not how shamefully slowly I read now post brain injury since I’ve always loved reading and I’ll be damned before I let the cruel and unfaithful God take away my love of reading too because in His infinite cruelty, hasn’t He taken away enough already??!! >< My favourite genres are fantasy, science fiction (I’m a Trekkie! ^^) and historical fiction (currently I’m loving Philippa Gregory books), but I’m willing to give anything bar Mills and Boon a try. XD Oh, no Stephen King either, thanks. I’m a wimp, sorry… ><” XD

(2)               Teddy – all my teddies are named (although I’ll sheepishly confess to having one bear named John Doe and another named John Doe2 XD) and yes, all are loved. I’m particularly interested in getting different/exotic teddies; I’ve heard of DRAGON plushies and during the recent Black Friday sales I wanted to buy a CARTON OF MILK plushie, only he was way too expensive! Always after additions to my teddy family~

(3)               Pet – yes, poor Silver and Bronze passed away halfway through 2008 because I was unaware that goldfish are so pathetic they need a heater in their fishtank to keep them warm during Winter lest they freeze to death and I will forever be horribly guilty of their manslaughter but since they’ve been gone for more than 1.5 DECADES might I please be trusted with a live pet again?? If not, then Luke Mac Court, I’m still waiting for my pet rock from you! When you first told me about them many years ago I thought you were just pulling my leg but when I got home and Googled  ‘pet rocks’ I discovered webpages worth describing them; like, you can’t give them food/water like live pets but you can give them things like different textures to rest on! Luke, your dad did inform me that you’d at least made a start on my pet rock and painted it yellow (Minion themed; <3 the Minions!) and I understand you’re busy being a dad and all but will I EVER receive my pet rock??!! XD

(4)               Kit Kat Breakfast Cereal – my favourite unhealthy breakfast cereal’s Frosties and usually I’ll ask for a box whenever I’m composing a wishlist since I believe that every wishlist requires at least one food item but when I was grocery shopping earlier this year I saw a box of KIT KAT BREAKFAST CEREAL so somebody please get me a box; CHOCOLATE FOR BREAKFAST surely can’t be wrong!! :D XD

(5)               Outdoors Electric Wheelchair – I need one before I can return to Hong Kong to visit all my beloved family and awesome friends since mother and I lived with her younger sister when I was last in HK and my poor dad hurt his back pushing me uphill because she lives at the top of a very steep hill but I’m not physically strong enough to wheel myself uphill with only one functioning arm.  (Such a long sentence must mean incorrect sentence structure somewhere, I’m guessing? XD) My former year eleven high school maths teacher did offer me the one his wife used to use but apparently even with that mother still claims that it’s too much for her back to haveta bend down and help me with the shoelaces … *sigh* What I’d give to return to Hong Kong … *wistful* Someone/somebodies please help; nearly more than *anything* I wanna be with all my beloved family and awesome friends again …

(6)               Boxing Day Sales – for a Christmas wishlist, may I ask please ask for a ride and not a thing? See, I’m hoping someone will stick Sparkless3 (my manual wheelchair) into their car boot and take me to the Boxing Day sales somewhere! I really miss getting to window-shop nowadays …

(7)               Minions – Ever since the Despicable Me franchise started in like 2012, I’ve been totally besotted with the yellow, jellybean-shaped, totally inept and oh-so-stupid Minions; even the youngest littlelies attending BCAC knows that Aunty Em loves the Minions! Am always after more, regardless of size, shape or form. BA-NA-NA!! XD Since Despicable Me4 premiered this year, I’m hoping that it’ll not be the end of the franchise and will be followed by Minions3 next … fingers crossed!

Hmm, only seven things I’m after but I already can’t think of anymore! Suppose I’m not overly-materialistic, then? Guess I prefer catching up with people over a meal more than getting an actual object. The only problem with that being I’ve got parents (especially mother) who tries so *desperately* to keep me socially isolated, even though she’ll say it’s dad who said I’m not allowed to ask anyone are they free to catchup over a meal. The only way I can see around this is if you ask me first. Like, after I send out my Xmas Greetings on the 11th (haven’t penned them yet XD), how about you contact me and say sth like, haven’t seen you all year; let’s do breakfast/lunch/arvo tea/whatever together!

Oh, and as always, I reserve the right to add to this wishlist should I come across any other items that catch my fancy … XD

Next post here: well, if I’m organised, hopefully I’ll get my review of Gladiator2 up, but if I’m not, you’ll not here from me again until I compose my Xmas Greetings; it’s due out come the 11th!

But for now: go and secure me Christmas presents! XD

Until then~

Cheers,

Em. ^^
