Kampung spirit is no longer in Singapore???

This morning, a colleague of mine was sharing with us that he got trapped in the lift and no one came to his rescue... According to him, he was trapped for almost 20 minutes.  Rang the emergency bell but no one bother. 

Alamak! Alapak!  

Kesian nyer you!  Too bad you are not my neighbour lah bang.... cos this reminds me of an incident which happened last year.

The lift alarm suddenly got activated.  Not the usual pranks who accidentally or purposely hit the alarm.  True enuf, when i checked, someone was actually stucked in the lift.  I rushed down to level 6 ( and fyi, i lives on the 8th floor) and shouted, "Is anyone in there?" and yes, someone replied da deeiiii, "Got people in here!!! Help us out!!!"

Maybe you guys will think that I'm KEPO.  Well, wat ever lah... To me, I am not a KEPO "Catwoman" but living a flat nowadays, i felt that the kampung spirit is no longer in Singapore. Sad right but its true.  I'm sad for my children cos in future, becos of this unhealthy 'no longer kampung spirit", maybe one day when your children bumped into their own cousins, they may not know that was their cousin.  Sad kan...... and becos of this unhealthy "no longer kampung spirit", you will never know that one day they would get married their own siblings!!! Hahahhaaaa... it happen worrr so don laff too soon!  Eg; case cerai berai whereby parents cerai and anak2 ikut mak.  Then bapak kawin lain, ada anak then terpikat ngan anak dari mak.  Kan tu adik beradik namanya sebab bin/binte nyer sama!

Maybe i came from the different era cos i was brought up in kampong.  Nowadays, most people choose to mind their own business.  After a whole day back from work, they would come home and shut the door.  For me, or should i say my whole family, we feel so the "rimas" to stay in all day with door shut (fyi, my door is opened from 9am till 11pm - daily) and mind you, some stayed indoor with window shut too howkey!!! I wonder how they can survive.  Maybe also, I'm blessed to buy this unit cos all my neighbours are from earlier generation.  We keep a look out for one another.  Especially when unfamiliar faces loiter around our level, we will be curious and some ever been stopped by my other neighbours and been questioned, "Where and who are you looking for?"

I always remember wat mum always tell me, "Kalau kita dalam kesusahan, orang yg terpaling dekat iaitu jiranlah yang akan membantu kita, so hidup berjiran ni jangan kerek-kerek, jgn sombong-sombong babe.  Tak rugi babe kalau bertegur sapa and tak rugi babe kalau orang berbudi kita berbahasa........ orang membeli, kita merasa."

Ingat lagik kalau ku nak gi pasar, jiran Cina mintak kirim timun.  Gua belikan... bila dia tanya braper?  Aiikssss, takkan 30sen pun nak berkira.  Lol... duit tak bawak mati beb tapi kalau sering-sering kirim, ahhhh tu dah kena bukak buku tiga lima beb.  

Paham eh... paham eh...

Till i GoBloG again................  chiaooooo!
