Week 18

The 'new' neighbour offered us 2 red apples yesterday. Said they we from Japan, they bought it on their trip there. I can't fathom what's so special abt that, aren't the Fuji apples we buy from the supermarket fr Fuji? Japan? No? And it makes u think of the Snow White story, when some1 gives u apples...be suspicious... Furthermore, it's the same lady who tried to knock me down the other day. I was walking past her gate and she suddenly swerved in. I had to jump 3 steps back to avoid her car. Isn't she supposed to look before she turns? She didn't even apologise for it, just drove right in!! So what if you're driving a gold merce?

Maybe i'm just ungrateful. Other than the apples there's cheese pie too... Thing is, after they've moved in so long, I still don't know who's living in the house-nx-door. All I know is there's this auntie peering at us from our kitchen window everytime we cook (and especially when Pa's cooking), trying to "tou shi"... Can't help feeling weird. I know they're really rich, their house is elevated 1m above ours, 3 stories higher than ours, they've given us food a couple of times when we've nv reciprociated.... some inferiority complex here, but they seem to have everything already, what can we offer them?

Generousity, is it always a one-way-street? Fr de well-endowed to de less-endowed?
