My 30th Birthday Wishlist

I was first asked by my sister a couple of months ago what I wanted for my birthday since its the big three O. Then over the past couple of weeks I was asked again by a few close friends. I do this list every year but I guess this year I was procrastinating a little cos Im kinda freaked out about kissing my twenties goodbye. Ive never really been the kind of person that really cares about age but I dont know what happened this year.

So basically here is my list - which I know I will not be getting most of them but thats why its called a "wish" list. LOL. They are in no particular order.

* iPad - it never really interested me when it came out but my brother got one as a gift and i tested it out. its quite entertaining. Guess it will be very useful / fun when more places in Oman start having free wifi.

* An all expenses paid trip to Dubai for my birthday weekend - As per tradition, Ive been going every year for my birthday and making all the arrangements and even driving myself and my friends there. This time I wanna go without a care in the world. I want someone to make full arrangements and everything. I wanna go and relax with friends and loved ones. Chill by the beach, get a killer tan and come back relaxed.

* A Tag Heuer Formula 1 Edition Watch - Now Ive had my eye on this watch for a while. Its a mens watch yes I know but I dont have problems since I wear my dad's watches all the time. Isnt it a beauty??

* A specific Gucci Bag - Now this is something Ive also had my eye on for a loooong time. I love the shape of these ones but I never liked the mirror / metal bits they usually had on them and then they came out with some gorgeous non-metally ones such as this one. Yesterday I was watching a movie on TV and the exact same one I want was carried by the girl in the movie. The movie was about a bratty rich american chick who goes to a suburban English boarding school (black and white creases folded in - had a pic of it will put it up when I find it)

* A surprise birthday party - Ive never had a surprise party thrown for me. I guess cos its always been me that organises everything and thinks up surprise parties.

* A Narciso Rodriguez Eau De Toilette gift set - and I mean the full shebang. With the body lotion and the shower gel and everything. Its my all time favourite perfume and I decided not to buy it myself when mine ran out last week to keep something affordable on this list. LOOOL. People dont be fooled by the limited edition whatevers - its the exact same perfume they just come out with different bottles every once in a while.

* A Night at Al Bustan Palace Hotel - Ive seen some of the rooms there and they are out of this world after the renovation. Preferably one of those lagoon rooms where you access a semi-private "lagoon" pool from your balcony.

* Peace of mind - will leave it at that
