My Very Own Birthday Wishlist

Ok, so I have this one little problem. I don't like telling people what I'd like for my birthday, or for Christmas. It feels like I'm asking them for something when that's not what I want to do at all. And so, with zero input from me, they buy me what they think I want, and I end up graciously thanking them for it then keeping it at the back of my closet, never to be seen again.
So, I've decided to come up with a wishlist, so if anyone ever ask me what I want, well, he or she can have some fun with this lens.
Note : I created this lens for fun so some of the items on my wishlist may seem a little far-fetched.

Folding Bike

I stay pretty close to my workplace and travel by my little motorcycle. I figured that if I had a bicycle, it would be pretty healthy to cycle it to work instead. So, for my first birthday wishlist, I'm gonna put this down.

A Concert Ukulele

So I have a soprano ukelele at home, but I do hope to add another to my collection (of 1, as of now). The concert ukulele is a little louder than a soprano, and a little bigger too.
I'm not picky. Any one of these would do. ;)

A tuner for my guitar and ukelele

I have a tuner for my guitar. Its not very accurate, but it works after a few long and painful attempts. But it doesn't work on my ukelele. So a tuner like this which has so many good reviews, would be awesome.

A Lap Desk with Foldable Legs

A very practical item for people who wants to have breakfast in bed, or use the laptop on the floor. Then fold it and keep it away when not in use.

I love travelling

Visiting new places and doing new things is something I love doing. I love to travel to new countries and see their old temples, beaches, cities and suburbs, and meeting the people there.
AirAsia.com
AirAsia is a local budget airlines that can come up with incredibly cheap rates and packages.
Malaysia Airlines
Malaysia Airlines is another local airline which offers many international flights at reasonable deals.

An iPad

Ok, so this goes without saying. I dream about owning this one day.

An Airbed

I've always wanted one of these. Never tried it before though. I think I could use a bed like this where i can deflate it and keep it when I need to put it away.
Loading

Portable Hard Drive

I also need much, much, much more space for my songs and pictures and videos. I think a portable hard drive would really help me here.
Loading

Guitar stand

I have a bass guitar and an acoustic guitar. If they're not kept in their cases, I leave them leaning against my bed or my book cabinet. These guitar stands would come really useful and protect the guitars from slipping and falling over.
Loading

Music CDs

I love Josh Groban, Il Divo and Andrea Bocelli. I have some of their music, but would love making a CD collection of their songs.
Loading

GPS Navigator

Whenever I travel to a place I'm unfamiliar with, I get lost. Almost all the time. I seem to have really bad instinct when it comes to directions, so I think it's about time I installed a GPS unit in my car. Here's one, Garmin brand. But really...any brand will do, so long as it does the job and keep me from circling the planet before getting to my destination.

A Puppy

I love animals, especially dogs. I would love a retriever, or a German Shepherd, or a husky... actually, I don't mind the breed at all. This would be such a great gift, that is if my mom lets me bring another dog home. Some negotiation may be required for this part (I wonder what I can find in Amazon for her).

Donate, donate, donate

Donate to charity. And don't forget to tell me about it! Here's one.
You could also try World Vision, which is one of my favorite.

The Food For Everyone Foundation's mission is to teach and assist families everywhere to grow successful and sustainable vegetable gardens, and really enjoy the experience.

This will help you keep track of time, so you don't forget.

Countdown to My Birthday

My Birthday: March 10, 2012

That's it...for now

So here's my list. I'm guessing it's going to get longer as time goes by. I know, some of the items here may seem totally ridiculous, but hey, it's my wishlist...no one said it had to make sense!
If you're still here reading my lens until this point, feel free to become my friend and to get me any of these items for my birthday...or Christmas, it doesn't really matter which. I will be your friend for life. Cheers!

Do you feel inspired?

Duel Debate Module

I personally love it when someone tells me what they want (items within reasonable price, that is) so that I don't end up cracking my head wondering what would take their breath away. And I won't have to worry about whether they sincerely like it, or they're just faking it. However, there are some of you out there who just love the idea of surprising the birthday girl or boy with a gift that you've chosen for him or her. So tell me, which do you prefer doing?

Would you rather know what your friends want the most and get it for them, or would you rather surprise them intead?

I would rather get something I know he/she wants. Saves me the trouble from thinking about what to buy.

I hate surprises and I prefer not to surprise people too much. I would rather know what they want and get that for them.

Nah, I want to get something really awesome and surprise them.

I believe that there is so much in life we've yet to experience. Which is why we can't escape the feeling that there is more out there for us even tho... more »
