New Neighbour
Yesterday some new tenants (or owner?) moved into our next door apartment. I saw some Indian girls, very young, look like students.
Somewhat I had a very bad feeling. And I was right!
The 3 of us – Ian, Isabel and myself, slept early last night as we were all still ill. I was awakened by some knocking noise on the wall. This new neighbour was knocking something on the wall. Checked the clock, it was pointing exactly at 12 midnight.
I really wanted to curse them. Why can’t they knock earlier, if they really have to? If they only realised they needed knocking, can’t they do it the next morning?
I tried to ignore the noise and went back to sleep, hoping it was just a few knocks only. Soon after I fell asleep again, the knocking came back again. Then no more. A few minutes, came alive… this continued until I went insane!
At the boiling point, DH also couldn’t take it and went over to interfere. I was too tired to ask him what happened when he went over. I just knew the knocking stopped, and I fell asleep again, soundly.
What a ‘good’ start of having this new neighbour. Sigh!
young girls nowadays can be so “mm seng mok”. dont want to appear like an auntie wagging fingers but it really is the case.
