Knife sharpener?


Oh, it was Christmas afternoon, when an old guy riding his old bicycle, cycling around the neighborhood, shouting 'mo dou....mo dou....' in Cantonese. Well, it's the first time I'm hearing that. Surprising isn't it. Since he was there, and my mother wanted to sharpen a old knife, she let him in the driveway and started his job. He sharpened one big knife for 8 dollars, which was quite worth it, because he spent about 35 minutes sharpening the knife non stop. He sat on his wooden stool, placed a hand-pedalled sharpener. He even got rid of the rust from it, and that was why my mother did not used it for some time. In the newspapers, there was an article about this guy in Ipoh, who sharpened knives for people. People queued up just to let him sharpen their knives. Actually, the old man who went around my place, was as professional as him. And he comes to your house, instead of you going to queue up. It was something special and unexpected that Christmas afternoon. Oh..... about Christmas, I had "nasi lemak' for breakfast at Lake Club and a few sandwiches for breakfast with my family. That evening, we went to my uncle's house to visit him and had lunch with his family.

p/s: the picture was found from the net. It looks something like that, but it isn't the guy who came to my house.

May this blessed Christmas, filled with joy bring happiness to everyone.

Happy New Year anyway.
