Sneaky morning ....

Yesterday morning, my mum had woken up and kept the main door open. As you know of the layout of HDBs, you will know that one will have a neighbour living directly opposite you. And my mum (that cheeky genius) had kept the door open this particular morning for a purpose. When I sleepily woke up to help her start my laptop out in the living room (where one had a good view of the door and outside), she shared with me this. That our neighbour had too opened the door wide open...but only for a few seconds and quickly slammed the door shut. Now this would not have been brought to my mum's attention at all, only that she knew the man and woman inside had spent an illicit night together (or was it even from day 1?). Two days ago, my mum had wanted to give the man's little girl the pink penguin you see in the pics two posts below. The pink penguin isn't mine if you're wondering, I didn't get anything this birth-day. :)The father answered the door and said his whole family (him excluded) had gone to stay in a chalet till Friday.

My mum then thought of how she had met the wife and kids at the lift a day or two ago, with the wife looking 'extremely moody and put out' in my mum's own words. And she began to understand the situation. And kept a close eye on the sole inhabitant left at our neighbour's. True enough, the next morning, he left his home in the morning, with the fat lady in tow. My mum decided she wanted to keep a look-out on what time they would be back. No such incident.

So yesterday morning, when she witnessed the whole opening and then slamming of the door, she knew the neighbour knew that he didn't want to be caught outrightly red-handed. I paraded in front of my living room a few laps, pretending to look busy. Then, I went to the dining area, out of sight, and listened out and confirmed that he was indeed conversing with someone in the house. I beckoned my mum over, and we stayed put. A minute or two later, what do you know, my neighbour decided at that moment to leave and lock up. The fat lady sauntered out pompously (to my mum's exclamation!), trying to save her dignity and walked off, while the man locked up and scurried after her. Just when my mum was still taking all this in and thought this drama would be over in a second, the man turned and glanced back, AND CAUGHT my mum straight in the eye, and the couple was gone. haha. It was really a failed comedy of sorts. Two hours later, he was back with his nuclear family.

People, men like this really really disgust me, and I guess the majority of the female population out there. How could he do all this in his own home? How could he be so shameless, so heartless? And to think the wife blamed the Internet for this situation, among other things. His 3 young kids are adorable as can be and the wife is as care-giving and virtuous as one could ask for. Why are men so bloody stupid most times? Of course, nothing good will end for the man. That goes without saying. Karma, at its face value of the word, will get to him as it got to other stupid beasts.
