What seem to be a simple and innocent question that was asked in the days of "primary school" seem to evoke questionable answers, years after. Is the one that is in your immediate vicinity your neighbour ? or is it the one who is there when you need him/her ? It never don on me that the answer was important ... till now. Moving into a new neighbourhood (in fact, yet to move in !!!) complaints of noise during renovation was the start of the unsettling provoking thoughts of "neighbourliness". First it was BCA that had the complaint. When that didn't turn out too successfully, it was unauthorised fixtures that was drawn to the attention of URA. Guess the conversation that was exchanged some weekend ago about "The Difficult Neighbour" is a reality. Guess, its easier to obtain the answer from the question .... who is NOT my neighbour !!!
