My Neighbours
Everyone has neighbours. They are part of our lives. They make our lives interesting, which is why I think I have wonderful neighbours.
A few years ago, one of them borrowed a book from me. It must have been a very interesting book, because I haven't seen it since. Neither have I seen my neighbour.
Another neighbour has a huge rambutan tree full of delicious-looking rambutans in his garden. As the tree is huge, half of it hangs over the fence of the house besides his. The residents of this house, being ever so helpful, helped themselves to the rambutans when he's not around. Then they helped him take care of the tree by trimming part of it (the part which hangs over their fence) and throwing it back into his garden. How thoughtful!
Then there're neighbours who fight over parking spaces in front of their houses by putting pots of plants, chairs or whatever they can think of, to reserve the spaces. One of them even reversed his car into his neighbour's potted plants when she refused to remove them.
I would also like to give kudos to a handful of neighbours. They always let their dogs poo anywhere they like, without clearing up. Sometimes, they even let their dogs poo outside someone's house! I think they should have the poo thrown back into their faces!
There is another neighbour who drives a branded sports car with an engine so noisy that you could hear it miles away. As he stays just opposite my house, I have the "honour" of experiencing noise pollution. He likes to leave his car engine on and blast the car radio at top volume, so loud that even the deaf could hear it, and he would leave it this way for a few hours. Then before driving off, he'll step on the accelerator long and hard, as though he's getting ready for a race. Another habit of his is that he likes to slam his car door really hard. Many times, I wished that his car door will just fall off and land on his legs. Then he won't be able to drive and I can have peace again.
All said, I still think I have wonderful neighbours.
