Kaaaraaang Guuuniii...
-
Not sure if this is particular to my housing estate, but...
Stayed home during the past couple of days to revise for my studies, and I noticed throughout the daytime, a 'karang guni' man/woman (old goods collector) would drive by to my void deck car park and start honking and shouting "kaaaraaang guniii"...
Worse still, it seemed they time among themselves to come once every hour, and never two at the same time.
Now if it is just the shouting, I don't mind (since he is sacrificing his vocal health for profits). It is the incessant honking that is getting on my nerves. How on earth did the honking get associated with the trade? No wonder the device is facing extinction.
The next thing you know: they may come up with a pre-recorded clip of their shouting - MP3 format. Computerized timing. -

There are now silent type karang guni men/women..
they find out what's a particular neighbourhood's Recycle Day.
So before the recycle vehicle comes, they will come and take all the carton boxes that houses set aside from rubbish.
after a few months, the top brass in that recycle company came to the neighbourhood for house to house to explain to them that they are being contracted to collect carton but if the neighbourhood did not continue to do so they will move.
that is when both sides found out their boxes are "hijacked"
now the neighbourhood is split into 3 factions.
1) Pity the karang guni man, still leave their carton.
2) support recyling company, keep their carton till their vehicle comes.
3) simply bo chup. -
Aiyo, karang guni peoples very rich leh. Once my Dad told me to call them as we wanted to sell our audio system, i tried called them but no one pick up, so i drove to their warehouse, very run down, but inside the wardhouse, everything also hve, a big trading going on, i ask them how come no one pick up my call, they said all very busy, only 4 people running the business. So i told them about our sound system, and they agreed to come in the afternoon.
Then i go to the carparks, 1 big jaguar , 1 mercedes 300s, I mercedes SLK, 1 porshe 2002. OMG, they look n dress like very poor, pick up lorries also very rundown and very rugged too, then i peek into their car label, all private house address near orchard, east coast and tanglin. Must be damn rich.
All the while i thot rag and bone men are poor, now i think they are richer than us. How they run the business is just fantastic, without education not to mention business degrees/diploma discipline, they managed to consolidate just the right manpower, the right just in time, the right approach as in business, if no one wanted it, we want it. -
The honking is so annoying la but at least, we know that it's a karang guni man, not some door-to-door salesman. -
