We were having some guests over and suddenly, our neighbour from across the road rang our doorbell. Apprently, they "complained" (with smiles) that they had no luck renting our some of their houses. A few times prospective customers came and complained asking if we're doing business in our house or there were some empty bottles lying around. So, they're asking us to do them a favour by cleaning up our stuff......
When I came back and told my family, there was a lot of noise and everyone felt pissed off. This was because we have just moved in and were still cleaning up our stuff. But we all knew their main message was:
"Clean up the fucking house and obey our wishes, you shits!!!"
We all knew that there is a lot of stuff and its still really in a mess. But what my Dad felt was, that technically, the house belongs to us and they have no right to tell us what to do. And while attending to my kids, snippets from the conversation mentioned that my Mom refused to get this house apparently because the neighbour's wife's relatives who were incompetent lawyers, putting up too much hassle even though we had the financial backing. Only when my Mom threatened (over the phone in the background) not to get the house did they (or rather, she) relented. And all their 5 other houses, which their Dad bought for her other brothers and sisters to live in, failed to retain any occupants as the clients are out moving one by one. I guessed there was no Brotherly or Sisterly love among them too.
There were some times that they did ask us to contribute to other matters which we agreed as we wanted the neighbourhood to be nice. But I think its going to stop here.
But what really pissed us off was the fact that they put the blame on us for not getting any "customers" for their houses when in fact, it might not be our fault entirely. As I looked at the house next to us which they had problems renting out, the grass was uncut, which might be the actual case of killing the deal. So I guessed that our sale money went to their wedding so that they can legally bonk each other.
So, we cleared up a bit and while our guests volunteered to help us out, it created a lot of unhappiness to the neighbour across the street. When one of our guests complained loudly about the neighbour, I guessed other neighbours must have heard it too.

Yes, it is still in a mess which we can only clean up in the weekendsdue to work schedules.
And the garden. Haih. Looked like some unsuccessful weedtransplant in progress.
Would you want to rent/buy a house which looked like this?The car is theirs as they like to park over there.

haha! u take me & mei sis as "guest"..
I felt that u guys act calm & cool towards this type of pointing finger neighbour. salute!
Actually u can explain to them that u all just moved in and were still cleaning up the stuff which is schedule on weekends. Ask them to explain to their prospective customers. Make it a win-win situation ler..
They do know that we're shifting in and this still does not go well with their prospective customers, which is their version of the story la.
Anyway, we'll see how things goes lor but you're welcome anytime, ok? This weekend they're all going to Penang which leaves only us. So, come on down la
What nerve! Good thing you're a mild mannered guy. If it were me they'd have gotten the tongue lashing of their lives! That house is yours and only the local council have the right to tell you to tidy it up!
Dude, want me to send over a couple of Sith Lords (Vader & Maul), accompanied by a Tusken Raider and a Stormtroopers to have a word with your pesky neighbour?
Or I can ask this dude to walk around the area every evening... http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f38/drago_y/DSCF8927.jpg
Well, after all that "work" they still have no customers. Ha ha ha ha.
No need to sent that fellow yet. Don't want to scare the whole neighbourhood....
