last year i don't have one single request, so my parents decided to give me these 6 gold thin bracelets.
i know they're not that shiny expensive gold bracelets, they even get twisted easily (my ma, patiently, reshapes them again every once in weeks). but i appreciate them more than people can imagine. i couldn't stand to use any kind of hand accessories before, but i thought i need to wear them everytime. when i was having my practical test, i keep them in my pocket so i can feel my parents presents with me.
if you haven't know, i'm indonesian and i come from a family with chinese blood line, so no wonder we still celebrate chinese new year. as we all know, last week is the beginning of the new lunar year, it's rabbit year. idk in other places, but i almost sure that chinese new year has been strongly related to the red envelope, the angpao or hongbao, especially for us, the singles. this year, mine's sum is going down, worst than last year. i know it musn't be a big deal, but this year i depend on them to help me in my fast-growing wish list.
so here we go, my wish list (not in order):
1. fujifilm instax
i was browsing in an online store in facebook, fuji usa web, and photography bay.
instax is polaroid camera. the available types are 210 wide, 50 s, 25, and the popular 7s. i have cut down the choices. i won't buy 210 wide, i think, since it's big and quite heavy (consider that it makes the wider pics). i was attracted to the 50s firstly, but after that i saw the special edition 7s in white color! it's cute too. andddd...it hasn't ended yet! i read the 25 review, they said this type is the newest and, indirectly, indicate that it's the most well-developed right now. oh, and one thing, i thought it's the polaroid film that will cost me a lot, i was wrong. the camera is expensive too. special edition 7s package (include 1 strap, 2 frame, 1 sticker, and wood clip) is Rp 1, 050, 000. 00 and the. 25 package is sold at Rp 1, 500, 000.00.
dare i to buy the instax? i'm so afraid this is just my euphoric-state that won't last longer (i get bored easily, note that).
2. canon selphy photo printer
yes, it's again about pics and photos. nowadays, everything goes online, right? and me too, got lazy just to go to print my pics in store. i'm thinking of having my own photo printer, but..........i'm afraid that i'll get bored after a while (i don't believe in gadget-appetite, it can't last long, special case is my canon ixus digicam--she is the only exception for me). CP 780 and CP 790 are the types i'm interested in. i read the review and i think it will be better to buy CP 790. saying that say 'there's a price, there's quality' is true, my dear, i looked for their price and they have big difference, for about 500 thousands. unfortunately, it's the one i want that has the higher price.
3. apple i-phone
and NERV casing (i wish! lol).
this one i can't buy myself for sure. it's too, too, too expensive!!! i'm craving for this one, but i dare not to say it to pa. well, i've ever mentioned about the gadget, of course, but i didn't want to ask him to buy me. to give you the reason i want this one is that..i need to be more connected without being annoyed. BlackBerry is clearly not in my list, it's the thing that i hate, sorry to say, i got offended by the behavior of people using it. the way they bbm-ing all over the time and neglect their real world. it's just sad to see the picture that has been depicted in wall-e become a real-life picture in my eyes. ='(
back to the topic, what i need is the quick connection to the internet, for searching literature, things, and translating. oh, and to connect with social networking sites, i won't lie to you.
what made my me more reluctant to ask is the fact that pa just sent my nokia n86 to be repaired and i heard from ma it costs a lot.
4. pan collar shirt or dress (or some other retro-style outfit).
actually, idk what it is called. i really love (i adore) the way tia, my campus friend, wear those retro-looking pattern and model shirt (not T-shirt, okay)! once i asked her where she bought one of those, she said she had the tailor made it for her. uh oh..
what i want is something like evita nuh wore in an occasion, but in black color and cotton material. talk about shirt, i've found quite a right one, but (damn my fatty body) it's too small for me, i've checked it (i always bring measure-tape in my pencil case). i will be very happy if somebody give me the 'enlightment' to find a store or two.
5. goth-loli dress
call me sick, call me anything you like, but this almost a whole life obsession stroke me again. it's because i was talked about cosplay with arif and indra, my new friends i met at AFA X event, last november. i want to buy from the online store arif showed me, but i think it will be more detail and nicely-cut if it makes by the dress maker made my 17th birthday dress. the price is quite reasonable there. ah, it's going to be tough, think about the little time i have this year?
6. white furniture and painting my rent-room with pictures
for the white furniture, what i need is a bucket of white paint, big brush, lots of newspapers, and person that want to help me. and not to forget TIME.
for the second one, i still don't know which way to do it best..if i use oil paint, i'm not sure it will be okay. if i use permanent marker, i'm quite sure i can do it, but just think over it again, how many markers will i need? and permanent one? ahhh..i need to do some budgeting, seriously. and time, time, time.
2.46 am here and i must attend the skills lab at 9 am. considering i'm at home, it'll take more time to go there, means i must get up earlier too.
good...sleep! =3
lauretta.
