Ten things I want this Christmas
I was at my husband's company x'mas party yesterday when one of his colleagues asked me, 'Eh so you don't blog so much anymore right?'
Six years since the first time I clicked published on a primitive version of the blogspot CMS, I'm still flabbergasted to discover that people still won't let me go.
I don't like being recognized for the blog anymore. It takes a long long time to get rid of the stigma that comes with this whole social media brat thing, and I didn't exactly behaved very nicely online (obscene parodies of the bedtime stories and all that foul-mouthed swearing on the blog). Its hard to grow up, and its harder to grow OUT of this damn phenomenon that's quickly becoming old news.
Today I'm declaring a list of ten things I really want this Christmas, which is a little less than 9 days away:
- Not so many discoveries of 'strangers-I-know' who read minishorts.net
- A very good salary package from the company that's come a-knocking. A fantastic offer letter would be a most ideal Christmas gift
- A basic microwave oven without the grilling functions
- The Karcher RC3000 RoboCleaner
- The iRobot SCOOBA
- Sun outside my balcony for once, or else, an awesome clothes dryer that won't spoil the fabric
- A Kenwood cakemixer! I wanna bake seriously and I don't want to use a handmixer anymore (Kenwood mixers can make me feel like a pro)
- A book case to store all our books.
- A classy shoe cabinet (we can't seem to find any yet, and Eric hates the ones they sell at Ikea).
- Actually, a househelp who can help me clean the house would be really nice…
Marriage changes people and their priorities. A year ago I would have listed a whole set of other stuff including branded bags, and the latest perfumes. Alas, oh alas!

Just out of curiosity, why not the combination of ROOMBA and SCOOBA?

Kenwood is a pretty good choice but my dream mixer would be a KitchenAid. XD
To be honest, sometimes mixing by hand is better than a mixer for things like muffins, cookies and some cakes.

The ROOMBA is a great help. We have one and its excellent! If the ROOMBA is great – the SCOOBA must be greater still!

We saw you and your hubs at Ikea some weeks ago, but decided against accosting you with “Hi minishorts, I read your blog” cos it seemed kind of an invasion of privacy and stalkerish. Glad we didnt.
Agree with Mei about the KitchenAid. If you’re gonna go them expensive standmixers, go all the way!
Merry Christmas!
