Turning 2.1 Series Finale of Turning 2.0

So here it goes. This will be a very short series finale. After blogging for a year or so, this blog is finally coming to an end. Well, maybe not the whole blog but this series itself. So basically I just celebrated my 21st birthday and in a way, the day started off and almost ended in a way that wasn`t me at all.

I am not at all the festive guy, the guy who wants his birthday to be celebrated in a big way, in other words in a lame way. However, unfortunate for me, the Chinese culture (or at least my family said so) requires the 21st birthday to be celebrated grandly. Sigh...so my mum threw this birthday party for me. I tried to suggest switching the traditional birthday cake with pancakes (to be precise 21 pieces of pancakes) but she rejected it. So the birthday proceeded according to her plan. To be honest, the only thing I was looking forward to was the end of the party. I did appreciate the guests who came though. People I care about and love.

So right after the dinner party, I decided to go to my cousin`s house to play monopoly. Something I was looking forward to, funnily enough. So on the way there, I hit a hole and my tyre got punctured. Now, under normal circumstances, this is supposed to be bad thing but for me, it was amazing. I never had to experience a punctured tyre before so it was my first.

The only problem was I didnt know what to do so I called...my mum. My mum said she would be there in half an hour. So while waiting, I decided to play around with the tools. Attempt no 1, I think I damaged the door of the car. Attempt no 2, I think I may have damaged the engine of the car. Attempt no 3, I think I may have damaged the engine further. Attempt no 4, could not get to attempt no 4 cause my mum arrived. A huge bummer. My step dad came a long as well and he replaced the punctured tyre. To be honest with you, that is the closest to a father and son relationship as I will have with that guy. And it was a good experience. I learnt a new thing. How to change a tyre. And it felt good.

So basically, although it may not be typical, the series finale of turning 2.0 is about a punctured tyre. What is there to do after this post? Start a new post. Yeah, definitely. So from the next post onwards, it would be of random topics. Maybe about losing weight, gaining weight, learning to act, learning to dance, learning to talk slower or anything like that. So until then, see ya. Tata. Bye bye. Sayonara. Hmm...再見.
