There are many different types of people living in my neighborhood. They come from different ethnic backgrounds and countries. Many have been living in my neighborhood for a decade or so, while some have just moved in.

Mr. Witson Ong is my neighbor. He is quite tall and slim. He is bald and has a beard. He is an exercise enthusiast who jogs five kilometers every day. He is friendly and always greets me whenever we meet on the street. He is married and has two sons. His eldest son is Eng Jo, a close friend of my youngest brother.

The house on my right was once occupied by an athlete. I don't know his name as he never Interacted with other neighbors. He seemed very conservative, quiet and kept tilings to himself. His wife was a singer from Taiwan who had also appeared on local TV variety show. He had two children and stayed with his mother-in-law. They had moved out quite sometime ago. The house now is occupied by an elderly medical doctor and his wife. I seldom see them; although, they moved in a year ago. Apparently, they are plant lovers. They plant a lot of flowers and bamboo trees in their yard.

There is an unusual family across from my house. The young couple with a baby girl normally appear to be quiet and calm, but a sudden scream would burst out with cursing and things flying around the house. The wife would chase the husband around the house with whatever she could find to throw at him. Fortunately, the husband is a good runner who dashes out to the road like an arrow, leaving his wife hardly able to catch a glimpse of his back. Frankly, I think the wife is a bit cocky, hot- tempered and nagging.
