This morning I woke up from the lovely noise of drilling, hammering, and pounding from the apartment below me. They are remodeling the apartment and the walls here in Taiwan are paper thin. I had this problem before when they were tearing down a wall near my apartment but just hearing them tearing and reinstating things in the apartment right below mine is just insane. It was around 8am when they started and I know that's not super early but it just got louder and louder throughout the afternoon. Poor Kenny was digging his claws in the couch cushion because of the noise.
I blogged about this before but 7-Eleven and other convenience stores like Family Mart have promotion stickers where if you spend a certain amount of money at the store, you get a sticker. If you get 10 stickers, you can get a discount off food, museum tickets, or free toys. This period they decided to give our legos! But it's not just legos...these legos are made to build landmarks and famous places in Taipei. For example, there is a lego building of Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall. This deal started in Oct. and I've been saving a lot of stickers to get many lego pieces. I want to collect as many as I can but the problem is that you can't choose which lego piece you will get. It's in a bag which you can't see inside so you just have to guess but today I got the lego building that I wanted (Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall). I want the Queen's head too that I went to this past summer with my uncle, aunt, and cousin and the lady said they are only receiving five, yes only five, tomorrow for shipment so I have to come early to get them. Yes, I will go early there tomorrow to see if I can get it haha It stinks since the promotion expires next week and they are already selling out of the lego pieces.
Today was my day off and I went to two exercise classes today. The first one was a class I never went to before with two of my coworkers and it was really intense since we had to do a lot of situps. The second class is the kick boxing class which I love going to. Tonight was fun since the instructor played Michael Jackson's Beat It :) But it wasn't Michael Jackson singing it though, it was just a version of the song. There is this move where I keep jumping instead of standing still and at first he told everyone not to do it but later he wanted us to do it for a move. I don't know if he saw me doing it and figured that it should be a part of the exercise but I guess I'm secretly thinking this haha Then after class, he asked me if I was tired and it totally took me by surprise since I was talking with my coworker and we were at the gym, not in the classroom and I didn't even see him so I just said it was fun(in Chinese). I didn't even answer his question lol I'm definitely not good at responding quickly in Chinese for the matter. At least I spoke Chinese to him though haha He just smiled and said, "Oh, okay!" (in English and in Chinese) lol
