Typhoon, what typhoon? Well typhoon Kaemi has decided not to take a our of the North of Taiwan, but head South, where the weather is hotter. Can't blame Kaemi.
So that's dud number two. Was kind of anticipating we would get a day off from work. But alas, I am here in the office, blogging in my lunch hour. I think everyone's mood is different too. They too were expecting to get a day off. Ah well, better luck next time.
On another note, after work I went to a local supermarket which we seldom go to and discovered a small shop selling very old toys. It was like a small museum, displaying the first generation robot toys based on Japanese animation of the 70's and 80's. It was fantastic. I spotted Voltron (the robot made up of five different lions) and God Mars toys (more updated 3D pics here). I also spotted McDonald's Happy Meal toys from 1988, celebrating the Chinese Zodiac year of the Dragon. I remember these toys, because I was in Hong Kong at the time and got some these toy Dragon figures from the Happy Meals. Talk about nostalgia! The shop actually specialises in finding toys and figures which are no longer in production. You just need to tell them what is it you want to find and buy, and they will look for it for you. A very niche service!
Ah, the good old days, without a care in the World, and just enjoying childhood with close friends and wonderful toys and TV! Take me back to the good old days!
