The Lord of Another Kind

The occupant and owner of a corner lot of the Xth floor of Block X of a HDB community is a lord of another kind.
Why do I say that? This particular male specie is in the mid sixties and, must be rather free and less occupied or not having his full mental capacity used. People like this often get into the nerves of other people without knowing it themselves.
He likes to exercise his power over his neighbours especially the immediate one; the occupants of the last house he has to pass through before reaching his door. Often he would peep through their windows and sometimes doing it like his neighbours never minded.He even stood for a while to stare right into the faces of his neighbours without feeling any guilt of trespassing or intrusion.
He even sprayed insecticide over his neighbour’s plants , accusing them of breeding flies or mosquitoes. He helped to kill some of the neighbours’ plants.
While he has access to the things his neighbours put outside nobody can have access to his because he has a gate fixed to close the walkway to his unit. That is the advantage of owning a corner lot in this kind of HDB apartments.
You will be unlucky to have this kind of neighbour who has a say of what you do outside your unit on the corridor or balcony.

So What...HDB living

We have a rather overbearing neighbour in this HDB neighbourhood aka 10th floor of Block X of a HDB community.
Living in the smallest unit of all on this floor he decided to occupy as much space outside as possible to make his life grander than his neighbours. He decided to have a row of potted plants along the corrider, placed close to the front wall overlooking the open air space, in order to get the maximun sunlight. Along the wall of his unit he has put a shoe shelf  and a mini ‘incinerator’ (a bin like thing where he can burn his incence paper). As a result of that the walkway that is in between has become much narrower, just sufficient for a medium sized person to move through without banging into his things. If you have come back from shopping with two hands full of things it would be impossible to walk pass without hitting his things unless you did a bit of maneuvouring of your limbs  and torso. Being stiff from ageing I found this quite challenging.
As his unit is next to the stairway(actually that is the reason why his unit is the smallest) he decided his unit is not bad at all and have made the space on top of the stairway  his own by putting an armchair there where he can sit and enjoy a puff or two. He could not care less if his second hand smoke got into his neighbour’s bedroom or the scratching sound of his armchair on his neighbour’s bedroom wall had annoyed them.   He could not bother if his neighbours liked the smoke from the burning joss sticks which he used every evening for his prayers. He could not bother about the smoke from the burning incense paper  that had got into his neighbours house and nearly choked them to death every first and fifteenth day of the Chinese month.
