1. The Enchanted - Rene Denfield
Know Thy Neighbour
Saturday, July 14, 2007
My mum and I were enjoying our simple dinner meal until we were abrupted by an unexpected call. My mum became fidgeted and ended the call briskly. I guess someone died but not to throw that curt joke in front of my dad, I decided to put on a wild guess: somebody has been robbed. Aiya ... mana tau [without realising], I hit bullseye. And the victim was my mum's friend in my next door apartment.

The victim was not really in a panic form but I could see she was busy making some calls. Mum was asking her for some details while I looked around her neighbours. My heart was caught in the throat without realisation... That's because the sight of her neighbours were pathetic and I felt sad for the victim.

None of the neighbours came to the victim's solace. It was only my mum and I. Her opposite neighbour look disinterested. Never even bothered to join in our conversation. In fact, they closed the door at our face. What a sad sight. Later, they came out of the house without even glancing our direction.

I let out a sad nod and asked the victim if she knows her neighbours. It took her more than 2 minutes to answer my question. Clearly, this shows how our urbanhood has decayed in terms of being a community or simply a society. Do empathy, compassion and unity still exist in the dictionary of urbanites? Or 'individualistic' is the new jargon worshipped by urbans?

I'm thankful that I know my neighbours. It won't take me even a minute to answer who are my neighbours and what are their names. The sight of the victim's situation extremely saddens me to see how selfish humans can be.

I'm sure these people will only learn their lesson the hard way by being a victim without receiving any assistance or comfort from the people in their closest environment.

Ooooh, no. That's not our love symbol.
That was just some random heart put on a tree to show that the lovers loved each other 'till death.

Hahaha. So yeah,
Actually the love symbol is "

I know all my neighbors. It's nice to walk around and talk to them while they are sitting in their yards or working around the house. We do now have some that are kinda rude and selfish. They pretty much stay to themselves but the rest of the community is very nice.

Lucky you... Well maybe because you're going HOME, that's why no one was looking at you.. By the way, I won't be in nip and tuck but Dilated will be.

I don't really know any of my neighbors. Like, I know who they are and could take an educated guess at their names, but otherwise I don't talk to them much.

I think my dad knows them all however... so at least we're not the strange secluded people of the block.
