5th July 2010. The best birthday celebration that i can remember. For consecutive years, every single birthday of mine started or ended with tears rolling down my cheeks. It was not tears of joy, but tears of sadness. Amazingly, as I am typing this, it is already 1am, and I have celebrated my birthday with a "blast", and really enjoyed it tons thanks to the many friends of mine who make it happen!
My plan was to go to Universal Studio and spend almost a full day there playing on rides and watching shows which always never fail to inspire me and give me ideas for creativity whenever I am there. Well, without tickets booked online, I supposed it's alright if we just go to Universal Studio and purchase the tickets there...but i was wrong! When we arrived there, the ticketing booth was not even open as all tickets are sold out!
I was upset to see the place being packed and the idea of not being able to go into Universal Studio frustrates me at that moment. However, i remembered Virginia had a friend who could get us tickets as he works in a tour agencies and amazingly, we got tickets to go in! Hooray...really am grateful to Virginia and her friend and as well as to God who answers my prayers!
Had great fun at Universal Studio the whole day and after which we went down to City Link Sake Sushi for dinner. Initially, i thought my cell group would get me Copic markers as it was exactly the price of their budget (yes i know the budget as i always get pressies for member's birthday!) but I dreamt that I would get a acoustic guitar! And yes, miracles and prayers do come to pass! Cell group indeed gave me a acoustic guitar for my birthday! God answers prayers! Hooray.
In summary, 5th July 2010 marked a change in my life, that as i think in my heart that all things will work out for good, it will. Besides this, i have also break the cycle of "tearful" birthdays! Thanks to God and of course, all my friends who make it happen!
