a strange lady

While hubby was busy vacuuming the floor today, we received a knock on the door. Thinking it was another unwelcome saleslady, I ignored it and continued to watch my favorite Ah Wang show. Hubby went to open the door and was greeted by a lady who claimed to be our neighbor who lives in a unit directly below us. Ah, I was pretty curious now, and i strained my ears to hear their conversation from where i am sitting

Apparently the lady came to ‘complain’ about a series of noises that she claimed to be from the unit above her — which I supposed she is referring to us lah. She said she has been hearing some ‘kiat kiat’ sound for months from the floor above her. Today, she couldn’t stand it and came knocking on our doors.

The first question that she asked was, do we have kids? My hubby gave a straight no and asked where did she hear the sounds.

Here is an extract of the conversation: [simplified version]

Lady: Do you have kids?
Hubby: Nope.

Lady: You never hear any sounds around your sofa area? I was disturbed by the noise for months… almost everyday!

Hubby: Err… did you say sofa area?

Lady: yes

Hubby: But we seldom stay around in the living room. 95% of our time was spent in the study room. The only time we spend in the living room is to eat or watch the 7pm show.

Lady: …………

In the end, i doubt she believed us, but she walk away somehow. Strange lady.
