I was stopping in front of traffic lights and while waiting for the green light, I was playing and snapping pictures by using my oh-so-small compact digital camera. This is one of the pictures I've taken during the waiting. The guy who's riding his motorcycle is an ice-cream selling man. It was a rainy day, but still the guy had to drive around to sell off his ice-cream. It's for the sake of his living. I salute him.

I think it would be fun to sell ice cream, making all those customers happy! I miss the old neighborhood ice cream trucks during the summer.
That's such a cool photo, Emily Lin. What are those palm-like things? Some sort of decorative street lights?
Does it rain often in Kajang?
Poor street vendors, they have to cope with slow sales and bad weather...
Cheers!
I salute him too!
Here he would have been stopped and investigated by our health bureaucracy asking all sorts of questions about how he handles that ice-cream. Perfectly correct and he would have been perfectly unemployed!
I know that place!It's somewhere near where my Uncle lives.He lives at Menara Jaya.
Anyway,the ice-cream man who comes to our school doesn't come on rainy days.I guess he doesn't mind missing a day off.
Rambling round: Ice cream trucks? Oh.. sounds really huge but here it's hardly found. Normally they sell it with motorcycles.
Fenix: Yea.. It's for decorative purposes. It does rain often. Not only in Kajang but KL area, too. BTW, I've forgotten to mention the place I took this photo - it's not in Kajang but in Petaling Jaya. Ok I know I broke the rules but wait, my blog name is Kajang (Malaysia) so I wish I could "cheat" a little bit and show you guys photos of other area. I guess you guys wouldn't mind, would you? :p
Per Stromsjo: If it's happened, I would pray for the guy! How pity to lose his job.
Dijah: I don't know where is Menara Jaya but it's actually somewhere in PJ. Near Hilton Hotel. :p
Waiting for the ice cream man is a very happy waiting time.
I remember when I was much younger, we would wait for the roti man to come. But not for the roti, but for the junk food that he sells! haha...
This is a touching posting Emily. Life is hard sometimes and I feel sympathy for people who have to struggle hard for their life.
i hope he was able to sell all his ice cream that day.
