Since I moved to Singapore, it was my very first time staying together in 1 house with the landlord, previously back in KL, I always stay with my friends. So, this time round is the 2nd house that I'm staying together with landlord.
Ok. It is not easy to stay together with someone who owns the house, at first I was quite ok well mainly because I feel its like at home, there's warmth, the house is tidy, etc. Until, 1 day it really pass my patience line because the kids are just way too noisy and I can't take rest anymore. I know that's the concequences, but.. I do have my limit. That's my main reason why I left, overall, I didn't have any problems with the landlord, they are just fine. They never complain about, well maybe yes, just a small reminders what are the do's and don'ts, I believe that's normal.
The 2nd house. At first, it looks perfect. The landlord seems nice old lady, seems lovely. House is clean, etc. All seems perfect. Until, the next few days I moved there, I got a complain. A damn bloody complain just because I put my pyjamas on basin in the toilet. I have a housemate which is an old lady as well. She complained so horrible until both of us (I and my friend) were like.. Do you really need to be that mad? You could just throw the clothes on my door mat, I won't be mad. Since it's my fault, I could only say sorry and promise will not happen again.
On going to the 2nd week, when I was about to go out for lunch, landlord called me. I picked up and ask her was there anything wrong. She asked me did I passing motion and forgot to flush? I was like.. HELL NO!!!! I was so rush on that morning and I didn't have time to do it!!! She insisted like mad that I was the one who did it just because I left the house after my roommate. Just a small thing, it really creates havoc and it seems like somebody gonna destroy the house! Seriously. And until I got home, the landlord still insisted that it was me and she doesn't trust me - just because I hardly at home, I made mistake twice (once was left the clothes on the basin and I cooked on Monday), and first impression of her seeing me is fierce. I was like.. That's not fair! At first I wasn't mad, until I keep thought about it, and I felt it's totally unfair and she wasn't supposed to say those things as an elderly. I do realize that old people - chinese, loves to speak negative words to show their love (I know this is weird, but it's the truth!). Perhaps for her it was a joke but for me, it started to be offensive because she treated me unfairly.
I complained to the agent how and what happen in the house and she told me to keep calm, don't shout at her, speak nicely. And again, in front of elderly, I couldn't ever raise up my voice. It was a slight anger moment when I spoke with the agent. And I threat her that if I received any complains that is not caused by me or my roommate, I will move out.
I know all the things up that I just share is childish! To overcome this small thing, I decided to pray. Once I reached home after work, I pray for the house, for both the ladies, pray in the living room, kitchen, etc. I really glad that today, those anger moment it's just passed. And I don't want to think about it. Just forget it and that's all. I pray that God will bless them, protect them wherever they are and to be with them, give them peace, etc. I don't pray curse or bad things upon people, because God will hear it and who knows it might bounce back to us. Speak wisely!
Crazy things happens all the time, but don't let it destroy your joy. Be happy and always remember God. Give thanks to Him. :)
Oh anyway, here's the pic of the house. The layout looks like Suriamas. It brings memories actually.
