Mr. Lim

I’m pretty darn sure that everyone that does anything in this country is named Mr. Lim.  Mr. Lim services air con systems, sells school uniforms, teaches gymnastics classes, is a swim coach, drives a taxi, delivers dry cleaning and is an electrician.  Are there any other last names in this country?  Makes me laugh when you ask a friend for a referral and they say, “I use Mr. Lim.”

 

Just for kicks I searched our neighborhood yahoo group just to see what Mr. Lim can do.  Here is the list of the most recent posts:

Teaches gymnastics
Dry cleaning (delivered to your door)
Sells oriental rugs
Dentist
Handyman
Notary
Jewelry repair
Blackberry repair and spare parts sales
Pest control
Pharmacist
Beginner calligraphy classes
Owner of a fantastic air conditioned dog kennel

 

Now I’m off to call someone to service my air con. This time I only have a phone number. What do you want to bet his name is going to be Mr. Lim?
