Wishlist
A few years back (and I reckon still in sparse practice), there was this trend of listing down a blogger's wishlist in the sidebar. Somewhere along the way, the trends changed and besides, many bloggers don't want to portray themselves as too materialistic, I suppose.
But come on, come on. Since Vincent has so vehemently called your bluff, be a good sport and admit it. Within everyone of us, there is a wishlist, and yes, some of the things in it are obnoxiously expensive. It's greedy materialism, but it's there nonetheless, so why lie and say that 'All I want, really, is world peace.' Unless of course you're a prince's son, and you can get anything you want in your wishlist yah, don't play Miss Universe.
So here you go. Mine.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX 9
Nokia 7380
Anna Rice's Christ The Lord: Out of Egypt
DKNY: Be Delicious EDP
Inspiron 630m
This Shu Uemura Professional Brush Set it's USD 450!! How to afford this?
This Shu Uemura Portable Brush Set also can do. USD 159 only. Hu-Hu.
A Coach Soho Suede Large Hobo
This Tiffany & Co. cross pendant + the chain
A DeBeers Round Solitaire Ring, preferably of Clarity F and Grade D… Heh.
Man. I'll take a lifetime acquiring all of the above. And then I'll definitely keep adding to the list.
I had *almost* wanted to put my list in the sidebar, but for fear of being labelled 'materialistic', I decided to dedicate an entire post to it instead. Or maybe, in my mind's eye I've been salivating over the products for quite far too long. Then again, I quite fancy the idea that many of my readers, I presume, work in places that would probably know how I could get these things at better deal. So hey, if you have some, I don't know, staff-discounts ke, company warehouse-sales ke, goodie-bag rejects ke, write and tell me, all right? You know my mail. Or here it is, shamelessly: minishort [at] gmail [dot] com.

The Inspiron 630m? It scored o.k. in reviews but if you’re going to go for something that big you might as well spring for the Vaio F-tv. If it’s available in Malaysia, that is.

Same goes to that Nokia model. Yes, very stylish indeed, but not practical though.
By the way, what is wrong with materialistic, if you work hard for it?

i seldom see bloggers listing their wishlist at their sidebars.
then again, its nothing to be a little materialistic…
…women are supposed to materialistic in many little ways!

It’s in fact a good idea to set up a wish list. At least, guys like me won’t have to crack our head so hard thinking of what to buy for our gf or wife during valentine’s or birthday or anniversary. Then our money spent on the things she likes will be more worthwhile rather than spending lots of money buying something that she doesn’t really like.

I have a button to my wishlist ion the sidebar … I dont’ think anyone has ever clicked on it (or possibly never noticed it because I have a million buttons) … but I’ve never removed it.
but, i also don’t expect anyone to ever buy me anything as … like … what’s the point, I can afford my own stuff.

Eh, i presume the diamond ring is the one that you dreamt your bf gave you? You must have been wishing too hard…

I would like to get you a DKNY, but I’m afraid there’s only very little left by the time I meet you.. & same goes for the rest of the items… Hmmm…
But, I’d be delighted to get you “Out of Egypt” if you would kindly refresh my memory of when’s ur birthday again.
