neighbours

one of the advantages of staying at a corner lot, i only hav one neighbour attached to my house. i've been staying there for 3 yrs, but i stil donno my next door's name. our conversation is less than 5 lines. i seldom see him. he is staying alone, a man at his mid 30's. i know he like football, everytime he gets home he'll tune into the football channel. if it's not football season, he likes tvb dramas, tvb or taiwan entertainment shows. jus yesterday i heard him burst out laughing when watching one of those shows. ok, i know it sounds like am a pervert who spies on my neighbours but am NOT, i was jus happened to be bathing my dogs outside. when i heard him laughed at tht moment, i had this thought in my mind: "this neighbour of mine is not a bad person." i donno y i hav tht conclusion, but i think tht's something has to do with tht loud laughing.

last friday i got home i heard laughters, chattings and smell of barbecue coming from the house behind mine, it's been empty for some time. ah, new neighbours. i was at the kitchen, i cant help but overheard part of their conversation, quite a decent bunch of chinese chaps. later that night one of the guy played guitar, n sang some nice songs too. i wonder if he's d same guy who played guitar, if he is, i must see how he looks like, cos he sings quite well. especially when he sang "more than words" from extreme, i jus stood at the kitchen till he finished. and jus when i was about to turn off the light n go upstairs, he sang "when you say nothing at all" from ronan keating, i stood there for another 3-4 minutes... tht night i realised tht the best music, is jus a good voice with plain guitar playing with it. this short experience tells me they shud be good neighbours too.

i don expect to hav warm fuzzy neighbours who volunteer to water my plants, in fact too much kindness suffocates me. i only need some decent ppl, even they don talk to me but as long as they r self-disciplined n clean ppl to be my neighbours. but, having a good neighbour, is like having a good lover. u cant find them, but only meet them in a fortunate encounter.
