ok i'll stop now. i could really go on forever. well not really, i dont want that many things..

It's somewhat strange for me to speculate that the incredible feeling of satisfaction that follows after the attainment of these products almost emits a deep sense of accomplishment that does not often come from buying consumer products, but rather from doing or achieving certain things we hope to in life. But could this deep sense of accomplishment stem from the quantity of my want-list? i hope not. What's more important is that i cant believe you're reading this. hahaha im talking absolute crap. or am i? (the list however, still stands.)

DAMN IT. i hate that my bday is over. i want my bday 3 times a year. i've worked out that 3 bdays a year is not too rare nor too often. JUST RIGHT. for presents, for catching up with friends and for presents. and for getting my way. not so much with my friends, but more with my family. you see, im the middle child. enough said.

i didnt want anything for my bday, nothing more than to have a good bday. but lets not dwelve into what a 'good' bday really means. Rather, lets consider which of those things i want more... mmm def the BBC Planet earth series. mind you, i did get some pretty snazzy pressies =D

OK ENOUGH. i can feel you silently judging me. you imbiciles think im superficial? the act of wanting per se, is completely different to wanting and not needing to have. i believe i belong in the latter category. so there. go away. let me want all the things i cant have. then i'll think about the things i need. which makes me forget about the things i want. herego, happy person.

But while im still lingering in the 'want-zone' lets ooo and ah at some super cool vespa models..
