i finally got my gym membership in trondheim! we will be collecting it tomorrow and go work out with joco and possibly his friend Amund. then i'll be cooking the guys a japanese curry dinner :)

joco said Amund's lasagne is great, so we'll probably cook that sometime soon. i told him of my maki roll craving and we have a plan to make maki rolls next week. ohhhh the craving is getting so strong T_T

alex went upstairs to help the neighbour with her new ipad, having some problem with connecting to the internet due to some router settings i think? he mentioned we knew how to make sushi and maki rolls, and someone suggested that we could have a get together among some neighbours in our tiny block ( a total of 5 apartments and one vacant office on the top floor). neighbour upstairs = juliet, a secretary in a nearby law firm. her father is not norwegian, cant remember where he's from though. in any case, it means she and her mother (a friendly lady) speak fluent english . YAY

layout of our block:

1st floor: Frank. idiot who is in a hell lot of debt, parties at late hours leaving his bottles in a shared garage. appears to be near deaf, considering the volume of his tv and music playing. we've had people ringing our doorbell looking for him, so i labelled his stupid doorbell. however upon returning after xmas, the label was removed. shall put it back up again soon so he can get harrassed properly.
there shall be some action against him soon, which may evict him from the block. if the bank force sells the property, i'm sure mary will want to buy it XD. she made an offer before but it was too low. her competitors i suspect is the woman who owns the store outside our block ( a 7-11 type store called Mix) or juliet's mother. we're living in very good property now because there's developments going on all around our immediate area. a new park , a tunnel, and a new mall (woohoo!).

2nd floor: me and alex in one apartment, and a norwegian man+indonesian wife (lotti and guri, their doorbell says)+screamy kid in another. they seem like a nice family, shy and friendly greetings. the lady has set off the fire alarm once but despite its shrieking bells she said she didnt hear it. her cooking smells wonderful, though i suspect she forgets she has an exhaust fan.

3rd floor: juliet, and sometimes her visiting mother who owns the apartment. juliet's in her late 40s i think, and usually asks alex to help out now and then. in return, she or her mother helps out in taking care of our plants and fish when we go to Hustad.
in another apartment is Thor, a guy who moved in recently. He's a student, alex thinks. i shook his hand and gave my name, thats as far as our interaction goes. XD alex has probably talked to him abit more because of the occasional block meeting.

4th floor: vacant office. owned by a twit who converted it into a living space and rented it out to foreign chicks, which is illegal as it is not meant for such. ruined some ventilation pipe and ceiling, and the bill was shared among all the occupants. he shall be going on trial soon, since the other occupants teamed up to file a lawsuit against him. again, big bills shared among us. good thing juliet works in a law firm, it sure is helpful for this.

with such few people in one building, you'd think everyone could show up for meetings that happen once in a few months. not the case though!

back to dreaming about my maki rolls X)
