there is no love

back when i stayed in a link house, we had very good neighbors whom we still meet every now & then. just this afternoon, i attended of their daughter's wedding reception. since i moved to an 'elite' condo or so it claims or tries to be i have very little interaction with my fellow neighbors.

we have four units to a floor; one has moved to dubai & the very little interaction we had with them was pleasant. another is a guy from the land of the rising sun. not really very friendly & his local chinese gal-pal complements him well. my immediate neighbor, a couple of mix marriage are quite friendly really but our paths seldom cross.

see, where i stay residents have access cards which only allow them to the common floors (ie parking, lobby) & our respective floors. and we can't take the stairs to the other floors as well as the doors can't be opened from the stairwell area. so if we have a slight problem with the neighbors above us (eg water dripping from their unit & kids jumping on the floor thus the thudding sound), we can't take a walk upstairs & talk to them.

no... we have to lodge a 'complaint' at the management office & they will then get the maintenance people to solve whatever problem there is. see, this morning i got a call from the management office. apparently the unit below had a wet floor in their work area (or wet kitchen) & naturally assumed that the unit above (in this case mine) was the cause of it. so i went to my work area to see if there were any leakages that could cause the drip. of course takdelah. but my floors were wet too so i looked up & saw a wet mop dripping to the unit above me, mine, below me & possibly all the way down...

so i told the girl that probably thats the cause of it. and then she tells me 'oh, they complained two days ago. so we want to send our maintenance guys to check your unit on monday at 330. is it okay with you?'. okay.... two days later. dhl - dua hari lambat. two days ago, the same unit above probably hung their wet mop & caused the drip (or for that matter many units above as i saw plenty of mops hanging to dry).

we'll see what happens on monday.
