My neighbours
Lols it sounds like some boring title~
Just heard & saw 2 neighbours quarreling yesterday.
I wondered what triggered off their heated exchange, but i do know that the neighbour who live downstairs & came up to scold the neighbour living in the adjacent unit had a bad temper & kinda crazy as she can scold her daughter so loudly in the middle of the night that everyone can hear. But the neighbour who live beside my unit is not a woman to be strifled with, she returned the scoldings & that went on for quite sometime as none of them think they are in the wrong. The heated exchange in dialect was so vulgar that i couldnt understand a thing... hmm is that a good thing perhaps?
Guess what my mum did...
She real good can?




She shut the door...
So we wont be disturbed by their loud & crude remarks
Smart right?

Haha of course! She's my mum.
Cuz she knew that she cant help in any way. The neighbour from downstairs had came to ask my mum to help keep an eye on her rebellious daughter, but my mum refused. Not that she doesnt want to help, the problem lies in the strained relationship between the mother & teen. The more the mother wants to control the daughter, the more resentful she gets. They gotta sort out their probs themselves.
Am so glad that i've such a mum~

According to my mum, it's not the first time that both of them are quarreling. I bet there will be more coming up, since the neighbour downstairs kept complaining about how noisy they were. It cant be help la, the 4 room flat beside my unit houses a total of 11 people, with 4 kids/baby it doesnt take a genius to guess where all the noise are coming from. This is just part & parcel of life in a HDB flat. My neighbours upstairs love to sing karaoke even up to wee hours of the night. Maybe senior citizens dont need that much sleep? Haha. Gradually we got used to it & now they stopped singing. It's either they lost their interest in karaoke or the poor, overworked karaoke machine broke down. Haha anyway that's a good thing.

I want PEACE! Not world peace like some eager-to-please beauty pageant finalist, but just peace in the neighbourhood kinda thing~
