The first time I saw her, was in November 2014 after the "mop saga". She was here early about 10am on a SUNDAY morning. Walking around the roof top garden, looking around, presumably at people's balcony, service yards... taking pictures of 'foreign objects' that SHOULDNT be place on the window ledge.
I dont mean to be kaypoh, but since my unit is facing the garden, and I spent most of my time in the kitchen, so I decided to see what she's up to. (Be wary of suspicious character right?)
First, she walk around, see here, look there.
Notice she's aiming her DSLR
Following her angle, this is what I saw.
After photo taking, she took some notes.
Mops on the laundry racks. Stuff on the air con ledge. I understand. But these folks are just trying to sun their beddings ... what danger would it pose?? I wonder if they get a 'warning' notice as well??
If sunning of beddings at our own unit window is also consider a danger, if sunning of bedding in common area will get you stomp... then... where can we sun our bedding?? Should we stop sunning our bedding altogether?
Today, I saw her again. at minutes before 8am. I just got back after sending the kids to school and that's it! I decided it's time I put the whole incident into my entry.
Why is she here again?? I'm not sure. For all I know, since her last visit, I dont see any more mops sticking out service yard windows. And the 'storeroom' at the air con ledge has been cleared. So she's probably here to follow up.
But recently, there's a small hoo-haa in our estate FB's page regarding this post.
I'm very sure the auntie isnt the irresponsible sort. In fact, I often see her in the wee morning and early evening tending to the crops, watering, talking to the garden users.
I ever saw pretty bright red tomatoes, cool looking cucumber and prettiest violet brinjal!!!
Like many supporters who commented, the auntie is probably letting the soil rest before her next planting. Or that she's away on a holiday and no one else tend to the area? Or worse, she has fallen ill??
Anyway, back to our 'shooter' ...
Yes, she still walk and look around, but today, she's concentrating her focus at the garden instead, so my best bet is related to the above Stomp! post...
Poor auntie, is she going to get a 'warning notice' or the authorities are going to stop her from using the plot??
I grew up in an estate where almost every household stick their mop at the bamboo pole holder. NO ISSUE. Yet I got a 'warning notice' to remove my mop from the laundry rack?
I grew up in an estate where air con sits on steel brackets, installers have to risk falling to their death. SO FAR NO ISSUE. Now there's an area, that's more than enough for at least 2 air con units that eat into our floor area, yet we the owners CANNOT put other stuff there except air con??? What if I decided not to install air con?? Then it's just wasting precious space in the already tiny mini flat!
I grew up in an estate where aunties and uncles beautifying an empty space just outside the RC with potted plants. NO ISSUE. Now this estate auntie got stomp for 'ruining' roof top garden
I grew up in an estate where residents goes about their lives quietly except occasional funerals, weddings and even during CNY, there's only 1 or 2 lion dance troupe visiting. NO ISSUE. But here, for 3 years in a row....some inconsiderate residents are shouting, yelling to celebrate New Year's Day!!
So what's the problem with people these days?? If moving to a new place, new estate pose so many problems, I should have just endure the 'no privacy' of my very big type 4A corridor flat back in Pasir Ris.
I know land is becoming scarce, housings and buildings are built within close proximity, just like Hong Kong... I wonder do residents in Hong Kong face such issues???
