Birthdays should be spent memorably as it only happens once annually. My last birthday was indeed too memorable as I was able to visit Ocean Park Hong Kong which offers free admission to celebrants. It was a dream come true for me as it was one of the places I wished to visit on my bucket list. And the given opportunity to explore the park for free was truly the best birthday gift ever.

For today's Ask a Traveler series of questions, one asked about,
What are you doing for your next birthday?
My thirty-fourth birthday will be seventy days from the time this is written. My body seems to be telling me that I am getting too old. Unfortunately, according to the calendar, it falls on the first day of the week following the New Year's holiday. The last 2nd of January fell on a Sunday, allowing me to spend my birthday wandering around. I just wish my boss would let me take my holiday on Monday so that I could complete my plans.
I want to go back to Ocean Park to try out the different rides because the last time I went, my co-celebrant refused to ride on any of them. I want to try a lot of extreme rides, one of which is the 360° roller coaster. I'd like to try dangling my feet in the air while turning upside down. The view from the top is likely to be breathtaking, as it overlooks the vast ocean.
Look at those numbers of rides; none of them were ridden because of my travel companion that day. We only tried the Park Tower, which isn't particularly exciting but does provide a 360-degree view of the entire ocean park. I'd like to ride on this Ferris wheel as well because I've never ridden on one in Hong Kong since I arrived.
There are still many places I didn't get to see, such as the Polar Adventure, where I could see bears and other creatures in a snow world. Another attraction I want to return to and film in its entirety is the Grand Aquarium.
Because all queues are always long, one day is definitely not enough to visit all the attractions in Ocean Park and experience all the rides. If you want to see everything, you must go when it first opens.
But there is one thing I would like to give myself for my birthday. If you recall, I set a goal of purchasing a DSLR camera, which I later changed to a laptop because it is more useful in my blogging. I wish I could have gotten one before my birthday. It's just so odd that every time I save some extra money for myself, something bad happens in my family. As if I'm putting money aside for unforeseen circumstances. That's exactly what it should be. So I'm not able to buy things I want for myself, such as a camera or a new laptop, because other things are more important to spend money on.
Meanwhile, my cryptocurrency trading is always a failure, so I can't rely on it to save money for my laptop unless I sell some tokens. However, because the market is still down, now is not the ideal time to sell. Situations recently have been so bad that I want to fly to the moon, lol.
But I wish my birthday would be as memorable as last January's. If my wish can not be granted, just at least, grant me better health. That would suffice, I guess.

I'm sure I'll wish you happy birthday on 2 January. I'll stick it in my head and try not to be a day behind like I am now, lol
