26 Vendetta - The Rag and Bone Man Cometh
On a typical day in Singapore, you can hear a horn blowing away by the Rag and Bone man. The words as shouted from man are :
Dialect : "Karang Guni, Siu Po jua, Sa Kor, Lay dio, Dian Si Ki"
English : "Rag and Bone Man, collecting newspapers, old clothes, radio and television."
My Term : "I'm here again, blowing this horn to pester you so that you may give me your newspapers, old clothes, radio and television."
Please, spare me this Rag and Bone business for 1 day? Every single day, at least 3 times, the R-A-B man cometh. Blowing his horn away, asking for the same items everyday (but no-one giveth). Sometimes, you get 2 coming at the same time and they just try to outwin each other by shouting louder. DON'T THEY REALISE THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WORKING GRAVEYARD SHIFTS AND NEED TO SLEEP IN THE DAY?
Maybe soon, (just maybe) when the carpark becomes machine operated, my block will be rid of these R-A-B men cos they have to pay to get into the estate.
But in the meantime, I think I'll just have to install soundproof windows and doors.
