【No. 0041】Vacuum Cleaner
Jan 28, 2015 23:40
A few days ago, I cleaned up my room in ages.
The messy room became tidy, however, my vacuum cleaner was on its last legs.
I couldn't finish the cleanup at that time, so I've left with such a halfway feeling.
And tonight, the new vacuum cleaner that I ordered on Amazon was delivered.
I can't wait to use it until Tomorrow morning, but I have to control myself because it might be noisy.
Whenever I open a new product, even if it was a cleaning supply, I'm so excited always.

Oh, I didn't know that, and the phrase was not written in my dictionary. My dictionary sometimes useless.

I couldn't finish cleaning up at that time, so I was left feeling dissatisfied.
中途半端 is tough to directly translate but something like this might be good.
I'm sure your neighbors are glad you didn't vacuum in the middle of the night. ^^
