My Birthday Wishlist

I'm compiling this wishlist for the sake of myself and for the peeps that are going to my Bday chalet.

I'm a very practical person, Virgo mah, so I hope, the emphasis is on hope is that maybe you all can abide by the what I want and what I don't want.

A bit self-centred to ask frens for what I want but rather than frens cracking their brains for what I want and getting something I might not even use, I save them the trouble to tell them what I already have and what I desire.

It just makes the celebration that more practical n worthwhile. For me lor.

If you think I'm an ego bastard that will be posting up expensive stuff.

You're WRONG.

Also if you select something on the list ya want to buy for me, SMS me so I'll remove it from the list so I can tell other peeps not to buy repetitive stuff for me.

Imagine if I get 2 books of the same title, then 1 use for Toilet Paper ah? No rite, well I think you get my drift. And I will add in the specifics of what I'm going for rather than a gaudy colour or some lofty design which is appaling for me. :P

Here's the wishlist of what I desire for:
(In no particular order....)

1) Crumpler messenger/laptop bag (a bit too funky for my age... let me relive my youth can!!!)

This link has a lot of designs: Crumpler

I would prefer the colour brown, beige, orange or white, preferably the range of Cheesy Disco and Crisp Suit. Don't get me black or blue bags, I have enuff of that.


A weekend bag to town


Cost:Approx $130~

2) Brown/Beige sneakers from Puma or Diesel

My feet size is US 10.5, if you're intending to buy for me shoes, keep the receipt just in case lor ....





Clubbing sneakers



Preferences: don't get leather for me hor ... suede sneakers is nice enuff.

Cost:Approx $100~

3) Books by Ben Elton or Mike Gayle





Books I wanna read!!!



I've only read 'Dinner For Two' by Mike Gayle and 'Past Mortem' by Ben Elton. So get the rest of their collection for me. A book is enuff for my intellectual hunger.

Cost:$16.90/book

4) Vouchers

For convenience sake, I would gladly accept vouchers. CK Tang, Zara, Heeren. Just don't get me KTV/spa vouchers.

Cost:In dominations of $10, $20 or $50.

5) Beige old school aviator shades

You can get me Ray-bans or go to Bugis get me. Cheap cheap. $15. Just don't get me elongated ones that are pointy one, it's hard to find nice frames.


Note that these frames ain't mine, they were borrowed


Cost:$15 bah ....

6) Non descript masculine jewellery

Contrary to what Wendy dislikes, I like accessories that are meaningless.

Metallic bracelet or rings are nice to adorn once in a while. Trying to act metrosexual mah, getting old liao.
Perlini's Silver

Cost:Ranges from $8-88 i estimate haha....

7) Singlets from P.O.A. or CK

Me going for the beach boy look, and since I have a constant tan from sitting around in classrooms, must wear singlets more !!! Preferably a wife-beater.

Cost: >$30

8) GV movie passes

I've been M.I.A. from the theatres lately, miss all the good shows. Must catch up with the entertainment industry. Sigh.

Cost: $9.50 a tix on weekends wor~

9) Boardshorts

In theme with my beach bum look, my waist is 30 (suprisingly) and I'm looking for brightly coloured boardshorts from Rip Curl or Quiksilver. No Billabong plz. Preference of orange, green or maroon.

Cost: >$69

10) Bang & Olufsen earphones

My Creative Zen is very lonely with pathethic ordinary earphones. I want B & O leh. Don't know how much they cost though. Must be earphones hor, not those cup mounds that cover your ear like snowmuffs.

Cost: Don't know

11) Fossil brown leather watch

Bought this for Ivan's birthday, then now I want haha. The range is damn nice at Heeren but it's damn ex. $120 lor.... Looking for a casual brown watch, nothing too classy though. Just not the ugly matrix range in black leather. yuckzs.


Weekend/Clubbing watch



Cost: >$120

This is the compiled list of what I DON"T WANT

1) Stuff toys
2) MP3 players - I got Zen liao.
3) Scented candles/fragrant soaps or anything from Body Shop
4) Stationary
5) Cologne/Bodywash
6) Spa/KTV vouchers
7) Polo tees - I have like 10 of them. Enuff is enuff.
8) Stuff you can buy from ebay or Yahoo! auctions. - a bit the err
