importance of being a good neighbour~

It happened on the 13th , 2 week ago, while I was doing my homework & my brother being in the bathroom, we could feel thumping & banging sounds coming from next door. In the begining, we thought it was someone shifting their furniture causing some sound effects, but soon those noises became more & more rampant like 2 person rolling on the floor/struglling amongst themselves. Out of no choice my "kapochi" mode are being put to use cause its too dangerous to have any incidents happening without us knowing at all what could have happened, right? so I went to the balcony area & spread my ears wide open >> all I could hear of is 2 man shouting & 1 was very near to the balcony... I told my brother ~" oh no~ 1 of them is at the balcony~* I hope nothing happens..." well, we are at the 8th floor...& I ain't wanna say anything more if you know what I mean~ ahem*... So things went on the following 30 mins with angry shouts ... *its all in Arab"... his friends from the neighbourhood came by, soon we could hear silence...ahh thank god~*

With the current H1N1 outbreak, seeing someone sneeze openly does sends shivers to my spine. I too was hit with a bad flu last week. Dripping continuously & lots of tissue paper came to my aid. It was only on the 4th day I went to see my doctor for a MC. When I sneeze, I will cover up or use a tissue to filter thru the droplets sent out by the powerful blow from my nose. I think everybody should behave this way, when they cough or sneeze..manners does count, & you can see how your family upbringing are being put to use. Yesterday morning was an example, I saw a uncle, he was sneezing, but what gross me out is the way he blows off his mucus... he doesn't have a handkerchief nor a tissue, the only mode he has was his hands. Pinching his nose, he targets his blow towards the open air (but what I saw was someone else's raincoat on the rail) & spontaneously blowing with all his might to clear the passage of his nose. Oh gosh~* Its sooo nasty. There was even once where while I was walking on the bridge from my office, an Indon fella just spit out from the bridge. Imagine motorcyclist passing by or pedestrians below the bridges?...Oh nasty. I think Singapore has got a more polished upbringing rather than our country. If I am not mistaken, Malaysians are rated the 4th/5th dirtiest people in the world. That I got to search for the page to share with you all. I can't say I disagree with them, but one sure example of a country's upbringing can be judge by the public toilets itself. You can see how tarnished / how clean the toilets are & you can judge how the people behaved in their own hygiene aspect. Not being rude, but its true facts. Our education minister should have a subject to teach about toilet cleanliness. If you know how to care for your toilet, I believe you will know how to care for your personal hygiene....
