Things not to do when…


… You stay in a apartment, flat, condo, duplex or upper levels of any building. Be considerate of your neighbours and refrain from doing the following.

  1. Use the mortar and pestle or batu lesung to make sambal or any spice/herb paste.
  2. Do exercises or have games involving a skipping rope.
  3. Do jumping jacks.
  4. Rehearse any sort of dance that requires stomping one’s feet.
  5. Wear wooden clogs.
  6. Make large marble or stone sculptures.
  7. Engage in noisy sex-capades.
  8. Start your own workshop of any sort i.e. metal fabrication, wood-shop, etc.
  9. Keep and breed farm animals…
  10. Do burnouts or donuts with your bike…

Common courtesy is becoming a rarity nowadays. So unless you own the whole block and no one else stays there but you, then pls be my guest and be indulge the activities above. Blek… Hehehe…

  2. Oops, I may be guilty of no 7.. actually not me, haha. Anyway, so far no neighbors complained about anything, so I guess I’m not a bad neighbor. Or maybe they’re just afraid to say something to the ‘waiguoren’ :P

  7. I have one to add – Engaging in a spatula-wok battle like the hokkien mee seller. I have a neighbor two floors down who irritates the whole bloody block with her cooking skills. She just cooks and cooks and cooks day and night. Probably running an eatery illegally… or something catering business.
