My brother's birthday

Today is 27 February, which is also my brother's birthday.

Of course, we are not from a rich family, so we do not prepare a luxurious celebration for my brother. It is not even a simple celebration. We did not celebrate it at all, because we are already very big age.

In the past, when we are still very young, my parents used to buy big cakes to celebrate with us. We did not held any major celebrations too, but just at night, we will close the living room lights, and we put the big cake at the living room, and light up all the candles.

We will then sing the birthday song, and blow off the candle, and eat up the cake. We also do not invite any relatives to come to our birthday, just a simple celebration, and finished.

As we grow older, birthdays are just like normal days. Each other just knows that it is their birthday on that day, and did not do any celebrations. Birthdays to us is just like normal days, no celebration.

Actually today we thought of buying a cake for my brother, but we still did not buy it in the end, the reason is because he is not at home this evening, and we thought that he might return very late sometimes, so in the end, we decided not to buy it.

He returned quite early on evening, but when he return, the cake shop is already closed. So we did not celebrate it in the end, as we already di not celebrate birthdays for years, and we tink that he might not mind that.

We had always feel that cakes are only for young kids, and now we are already very old. Moreover, when our parents are young, they do not even have any celebrations. As long as we are still able to remember each other's birthday, that is already very good enough. We do not really expect much things for birthdays actually.

My annoying neighbour

I have a few very irritating neighbours, which keeps annoying us all the time. I feel very angry about them.

Living right below us, there is this family who loves to complain so much. Everytime they will complain about anything. We have always been very kind to them, and we do not complain back, but they seem to keep continue to complain. We hate them very much.

I remember that when we are very young, we play with marbles. The marbles hit on the ground, and create noises. A few minutes later, they come up and complain that it is very annoying.

I remember when we are young, we are very naughty. We pour water downstairs. Of course, they are very very angry, and we could heard their screamings and yellings. We are not scared at that time, instead, we keep laughing.

Not only they love to complain, but that family have a lot of smokers. When they smoke at the window, all the smokes will come into our house. There is one night when the smoke smell is too strong, my brother is unable to sleep.

They complained not only at us, but also at neighbours around us. That makes everybody hate them very much.

There is another family which is also living at the 10th floor(we live at the 11th floor). They are nocturnals, and they do not sleep at night. Every night, their house will held parties. In the party they invited a lot of teenager into that party. In the middle of the night, there are a lot of noises. We can hear karaokes, shoutings, and a lot of noises from them. Especially during countdown on New years' day, it is even worst.

Living in an apartment, it is common that all these things will happen. No matter how irritating they are, we still have to bear with them.
