Yishun

Neighbour From Hell

"Melvin, are you free tomorrow?"

 Melvin was busy completing his tutorial while Adrian, who sit next to him, asked him with a grinning face. "Uhh, wait first Adrian. I'm busy completing my tutorial. This is very important," said Melvin with a sigh on his face.

"I know that you are aiming for high GPA laa, but no need to be so kanchiong in doing your work. We have a long weekend holiday tomorrow you know that? Maybe you should take a break now," said Adrian while patting Melvin's shoulder. "Ahh ok, so what are you gonna ask me actually?" asked Melvin while closing his Digital Communication module book.

"So, are you gonna be free tomorrow? Because I'm inviting you, Benjamin, Neeraj and Jia Ming to have a sleepover at my house, since my parents are away for a holiday trip," said Adrian with an excitement look on his face. "Ohh sure! Why not? In fact, I wanna take a break after studying this much!" said Melvin. "Ohh great! I will inform the rest that you will be coming to my house tomorrow for a sleepover!" 

The next day, Melvin and the rest of the gang meet up at Yishun MRT station while waiting for Adrian. "OUCHH!" Melvin shouted when someone accidentally hit him while walking briskly. "Ehh hello?! Don't know to give way ahh?" the stranger shouted at him and walk away. "What the? He hit me and never even say sorry?" said Melvin. "Well, 'Welcome to Yishun'," said Jia Ming with a sarcastic sign. "Hey guys sorry I'm a bit late," said Adrian while walking towards them. "Ok guys, come let's go to my house," said Adrian with excitement.

Adrian and the gang have finally reached at his void deck after alighting at the bus stop. "Err, Adrian, you stay at Block 666?" asked Melvin. "Yup, why?" asked Adrian in confusion. "Never mind. Come on let's go," said Melvin and Adrian lead the way. "I have a bad feeling about this Ben," whispered Melvin to Benjamin. "Huh, why?" asked Benjamin. "He stayed at Block 666, and you know what does 666 represents right?" whispered Melvin. "Aiyaa, you and your superstitious belief. Don't worry la, nothing bad is gonna happen," said Benjamin. "But I got a feeling there will," said Melvin. Benjamin roll his eyes and proceed to follow Adrian. 

Adrian lives on the second floor, so they went up by climbing the stairs instead of taking the lift. "Oh my god. I'm sweating!" said Benjamin while panting. "Come on Ben, it's only one floor away!" said Neeraj while patting Benjamin's shoulder. "I'm not as skinny as you Raj!" said Benjamin with an annoying face. While they are walking along the corridor to Adrian's house, a middle-aged lady showed up to them. "Ohh hello Adrian! How are you today? Are these your friends?" asked the lady. "Ohh Agnes! Hello, ermm yes, these are my friends and they are going to have a sleepover at my house," said Adrian. "Ohh hello Adrian's friends! It's nice to meet you! I hope we can get along really well!" said Agnes while smiling. "Uhhh sure, Auntie, we-we-we can get along really well, r-right guys?" said Neeraj.

The rest smile and laugh softly but they doesn't seem to mean it. "Don't just call me Auntie. Call me Agnes," said Agnes to them. "Ahhh, ok sure, Agnes," said Benjamin with a weird look on his face. "I don't think its right for me to address her as Agnes. She's like my mother and I can call her by her name? Doesn't seem right," whispered Benjamin to Neeraj. "Never mind la Ben. She just wants to be friends with us," said Neeraj. Neeraj always loves to have a positive thinking towards others, no matter how bad others treat him. "Ok Agnes. I'm going to bring them to my house, see you later," said Adrian. "Ok! Bye-bye! See you soon!" waved Agnes at the boys. 

"Adrian, your neighbour looks friendly, but a bit weird," said Melvin. "Hahaha, she lives next to my house, so I won't hesitate to talk to her," said Adrian. "But recently she does act weird. At night around 10pm, she always like to make noise like banging the door, the walls, switch on the TV with loud volume and sometimes play her favourite Chinese Opera song loudly," said Adrian. "What? Really? When she start acting weird?" said Jia Ming. "Ermm a month ago I guess? Me and my family must bear with her noise and all that. But its weird, because she looks friendly and nice in the day, but make noises at night," said Adrian. "But the way she is being friendly with me, I can still tolerate her," said Adrian. "Ahh i see. Ohh well, time to play Super Mario Kart!" said Jia Ming while taking out his Nintendo Switch.
