What I want and do not want on my birthday
This meme came from RayChin (Happy Birthday!) by way of birthday boy, LB. LB tagged me to reveal my birthday wishlist. Hmmm.. I didn’t have one before, so I thought about it for a moment and here it is:
My birthday wishlist:
1. A new grasper. Before you go, “Bernard!!! Behave yourself!” Let me explain that a grasper is an instrument to grasp tissues in laparoscopic surgery. The current one has lost its grip. Need one with a rachet. 
2. A blue shirt. Blue looks good on me… *ahem*
3. A “pro” photobucket or flickr account. Err.. probably being just a little bit greedy, since my photos aren’t that big anyway.
4. A Chinese-English Dictionary which can be installed on Pocket PC would be nice. And while you’re at it … it would be even nicer if the dictionary could recognize handwritten Chinese characters. Plus it should be able to talk so that I can learn the pronunciation.
5. A list of potential first aid instructors. I hope that some suitably-qualified young people from the Malaysian Red Crescent will come forward to receive training to aid in the teaching program.
6. A nice photo printer that’s cheap AND good.
7. Rink-side seats for “Finding Nemo on Ice”.
8. Spending the birthday with loved-ones.
9. A chocolate cake.
10. Answers to unanswered questions…
My birthday wish-not list:
1. A grasper without a racheted handle. It’s a strain on the hand to hold it through surgery.
2. A blue shirt of the same shade as mine already. Let’s be adventurous! Hehe.
3. My photos getting lost or being kicked out from where it is hosted.
4. A dictionary which doesn’t speak Chinese.
5. A list of uncommited people who won’t share the responsibility to bring the message of first aid to the people.
6. A nice photo printer that costs a bomb to print.
7. “Finding Nemo” on VCD.
8. Being too busy on the weekend to spend it with family.
9. Cheeese cake.
10. A “No for an answer…
Am I too demanding? Yenjai, you’ve been tagged!
Update: let me tag the Simple American to do this one too.. guys… help him break his record of tags. It’s already 10 in a row.. 12 i think if you count the other 2 that were written just before his birthday post (which should be excusable).
[…] LB gleefully & heartily tags: • CutiePie1 • Paris Beaverbanks ~ What Paris Wants • Dr Bernard Chan ~ What I want and do not want on my birthday […]
Good simple wants!! Hope you get most, if not all, you wished for, eh? *wink* And lots of ‘YES” answers..
I can do that chocolate cake… the rest, I’ll leave it up to LB to kau tim! LOL!
Not many could say what a grasper was!
Come throw me a question…maybe I can answer, chances are pretty remote as you probably, most likely, err quite definitely know more than I do. But throw it at me any way so I can fulfil at least one of your wishes.
Btw, when is your birthday huh?
A real simple birthday wish
bc bday coming soon…
looking at your wishlist, i could do #9 for you IF you come down to KL.
where’s #5 of “what i hope for joseph”?
The date of your b’day????
aiyo…Doc…please la..not that expensive to buy FlickrPro mah….!!! DIY LA!!!!! It’s worthed it. Trust me!
*as she numbly looks thru 1900 uncategorised photos*
hahahahahaha!!!!
Blue shirt? aww ..c’mmon, pink is aint that bad looking?? heheee
Doc,
Kamu tidak minta perempuan!!!!
No char-bo again? What have you against women?
There’s a Chinese-English Electronic Dictionary that caters to your need. The brand is ???
why can’t you take ‘NO’ for an answer?
I like your wants and your don’t wants are reasonable too.
Blue shirts are my favorite too. So they have the ice shows over there too. Cool! Uh pardon the pun.
Getting ready to post meme number 10 soon btw.
thanx for the B day wishes..Bernard, act do you wanna meet up somewhere perhaps in sungai petani.. i think i have a few friend who are keen to meet up as well..take time to consider
Wah so simple wishlist Bernard. And it has to start with a grasper! I need a harmonic scapel! HE HE HE.
LB, YES!!! Thanks.
May, yummmyyy! *curi-curi peeks in the oven*
Capt Picard, haha… that’s why I had to explain a little… as long as you don’t get the wrong idea.
FireHorse, so modest. There are lots of thing you know more than I. Ok.. here’s one: “How do you get a woman to line up all the facts and variables that influence a decision and organise her thoughts to come to a conclusion?” Don’t tell me that it’s the “universe’s greatest mystery” or something like that.
Thank you and awaiting your reply in anticipation.
Faithfully yours,
Bernard
HijackQueen and Chelsea, tak yah la heboh-heboh
Yenjai, ya la.. what else to wish for?
JT, that’s not for MY birthday.. hehe. KL.. haven’t gone there for a long while ard.
mott, uahh… you’ve got 1900 photos in flickr? And shared so few only?
FlickrPro is for photo hosting only. Just a bigger space and sometimes … I wonder whether the ordinary accounts and the photos in it risk getting erased in the future.
hoiling, pink???? I know i’m not particularly macho.. but i’m not that “ah kua” either.
eastcoastlife, I have nothing against women la… it just didn’t occur to me. Believe that?
Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve seen some of those… what i’m thinking of is a program that can be installed on a PDA that I already have. It would be nifty. Not to mention useful.
Nyonya, I CAN take “NO” for an answer.. just wish not. Fair enough, I guess. “NO” is a valid answer to unanswered questions too.
Simple American, what’s on YOUR list?
.. aiks.. it’s amazing… you haven’t done THIS one…let me help you break the record…. i know your birthday just passed… but perhaps you could tell us what you would like and not like for the next one.
Ray, sure … i’d love to meet up with you guys. What’s your email add?
George, of course la. I’m quite comfy with the stuff here… except the blasted rachet on the grasper… when you get your harmonic scalpel, let me know, kay?
my email address..
yeityuan@yahoo.com..keep in touch and try to meet up somewhere in april.. if possible.. now cheng beng season de … have to go home if nt dad will rotan me..phew… hehe
Ray, thanks .. i’ll send you an email.
I’ve been disappointed I was not tagged sooner with this one doc. Especially considering I just had a birthday and all. Thanks!
Simple American, you’re welcome! Thanks for obliging, even though the birthday has passed. We’ll look it up
