Edit: I put this as my Facebook status yesterday, and I know it's no longer 11/11/11 anymore (at least, not in this part of the world) but still :)
The Law Student Disclaimer: This is extremely long... so if you are illiterate, read only one book a year, really need to pee, or all of the above -- I suggest you skip this. Also, I bear no responsibility for any form of brain damage suffered if you attempt to read the whole thing ;)
A very wise English teacher of mine once told me, ‘When you think about it, EVERY day is special... because you’ll never have two days that are EXACTLY alike.’ And I heartily agree :)
I have, however, decided to get into the spirit of all things 11:11pm, 11/11/2011 – and so... I've come up with a Wish List!
1. The childhood wish:
It was a tough call between meeting Roger Federer and being able to fly, but I've decided to be realistic -- I've watched him play (*swoon*) but I hope to one day be able to meet Roger Federer in person!
2. The selfish wish:
That being not-skinny will become the next enduring fashion trend! :D OR that I will one day have my friend Priscilla's amazingly shapely legs hahahahaaaaa
3. The clichéd wish:
To one day find that someone special and love him with all my heart... okay I’m cringing as I type this but it’s true haha
4. The noble wish:
That Malaysia will have a bright future -- either because the current corrupt-evil-completely-HORRIBLE leaders of the Malaysian government are forced to resign due to being cursed with a particularly disgusting, VERY long-term form of constipation; or because we the people put aside our differences, come together in unity and love for each other and our country and actually bother to take responsibility for our the direction our country is heading in and give Malaysia a much-needed bath to get rid of all the greed, corruption and injustice...
OR that exams will one day (preferably very soon?) be abolished, and mosquitoes will become extinct :D
5. The near-future wish:
To experience less socially-awkward situations and weird tram conversations/encounters. I swear, I seem to be a magnet for weirdly strange and strangely weird people... and I'm starting to consider the frightening possibility that it's because I am weirdly strange myself :O haha
6. The before-I’m-25 wish:
To travel around the world at least once, and write in my spare time. AND graduate of course PLEASE GOD LET ME SURVIVE MY LAW DEGREE SO I CAN BECOME A LAWYER AND SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF MY CLIENTS MUAHAHAHA
7. The life-experience wish:
50 years from now (will I REALLY be 70??!) -- I want to look back, love the life I have lived and not have TOO many regrets :) It is preferable that this reflection be done from the balcony of a beach house overlooking a gorgeous sunset with the gentle sound of waves in the background, surrounded by friends and family ;)
8. The technological-advancements wish:
That by the time I get married, childbirth will be painless – or even as simple as going to the hairdresser for a haircut! Or that flying cars will become a reality... OR food will no longer be fattening :D
9. The self-improvement wish:
To be more disciplined in EVERY aspect of my life... like seriously :(
10. The close-to-my-heart wish:
That the people around me – relatives, friends, loved ones -- will one day come to know and experience the wonderful, life-changing relationship that comes from making God your best friend. OR that grammatical errors on Facebook become a thing of the past ;P
11. The last-but-not-least wish:
That I will continue to be surrounded by wonderful family, friends, and delicious food forever and ever, wherever God (and life) takes me. Amen ;D
Making these wishes today won’t make them come true, and the deepest desires of your heart should probably be kept private (this was just for fun please don’t judge me on the list above, i DO have wishes that are less shallow I SWEAR hahaha) but really, now’s as good a time as any to evaluate your goals and future plans right? ;)
So Happy 11.11pm, 11/11/11 everyone! :)
*end*
P.S. I arrived home after pulling yet another mind-numbing, body-aching, why-do-i-do-this-to-myself all-nighter in uni (with its own very dramatic story haha), and when I recovered Wenxian and I made spontaneous plans to buy potato chips from Coles and go to the fountain in Victoria Square, where we decided we would make a wish at 11.11pm, attempt to cram 11 potato chips into our respective mouths in one go... and maybe hop around 11 times on one leg.
Then by the time 11pm arrived we realized we were too lazy to actually leave the comfort of our own rooms, and so... we Skype-ed Linh in the UK, at 11.11pm (Australian time) on the dot!
Afterwards I had an hour-long Skype-session with my wonderful (not always, but most of the time lah *cough*) family... and I can't really be bothered with all the hype but really, I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend 11/11/2011 <3 :)
