Just 3 more weeks and I’ll be turning 27. Wow. 27. I can’t even say that out loud.
It’s just too painful to hear. But then again, aging is something that you
cannot stop. You just have to accept the fact that every year, your age will
add up.Birthday
wish list has always been a part of my routine every year. Sometimes I get to
receive at least one or two items from my wish list, but most of the time I get
nothing. Nada. But that’s why it’s called wish list, right? You get to wish
something nice for your self and you just let the odds to be in your favour.
This year, I listed some of the things that I really need. Let’s start with:
1. French Press – I love coffee, but I am deeply in love with tea, especially loose kind of tea. I still have a can of loose green tea that my friend, Hyden, got me from China. And I really wanted to use it with my new French Press. See what I did there? I’m already claiming that I’ll be getting a new French press! Positivity, guys. Positivity.
2. Any kind of herbs or a vegetable in a pot( like tomato, eggplant, okra etc..)
3. Books – Could be old or new as long as it’s a good read. But if somehow you find a Charles Bukowski book, please do buy it for me. I’d be more than willing to pay for it. I’ve been dying to get a hold of one of his books and I’m running out of luck already. Like, seriously. Okay moving on... My love for book started when I lived with my Nanang (my grandmother from my father side) ages ago. She doesn’t just read a book, she would devours it and meticulously reading every single word. She also thought me how to drink beer with coke, so yeah. There goes the pros and cons.
4. Knitting tools – This is so lola of me. I don’t know if it comes with the age but I’m really starting to like doing lola stuff. Whenever I watch knitting tutorials on youtube it always put a smile on my face. Yeah, maybe it really does comes with the age.
5. A Labrador – I like a big dog that I can cuddle and snuggle with. I’ve been wanting to get my self a Labrador, but the timing was just not right. Plus, you know, they are quite expensive. Now that I’m in my new place, I think I can get myself a cute baby lab. This one though, is a special wish and I want to give this to myself as a gift. But of course, I’ll save up first. Haha
6. Clear jar with a cap – I just moved into my new place. It is quite small so I need to practice the art of organizing. Oh, and no, I’m not asking for a Mason jar because those are pretty expensive. Just a plain clear jar, big or small, will do.
7. A ¾ inch plywood – Don’t ask why. I just needed it. Oh, can I borrow a saw?
8. Power tools – Maybe I’ll just ask my father about this. Or better, I’ll just get his power tools at home.
9. I’m not really into gadgets and all that shiny stuff, but if someone would give me one then I’ll be more than happy to accept it with a smile on my face and a wink. Well, lets make that a two winks!
And that’s just about it. Hopefully, this year I get to receive at least 3 or 4 from my wish list. And again, I’m quoting one of my favourite lines from one of my favourite books, “May the odds be ever in my favour.”
Late 20’s. Yuck. I mean, YAY! Here’s
to aging! J
