A day in the land of kiwis

It has been quite a lovely weekend, had 2 days off this time, well kinda self declared Saturday off. whee!
Reason : I'm down with flu, but.... never too sick to go shopping !

Went to Mt Manganui with Theresa, Kerstin, Cazzie and Katy. Had fish & chips again, and visited the lovely ice-cream shop on the beach front. Had such a hard time deciding on a flavor as they have the loveliest flavors ever ! In the end, I thought , why have 1 when I can have 2 ? haha. So i chose Bailey's and Yogurt Berry. yum... will be back this Sunday to have the Tiramisu and Kinder Suprise probably. yum yum...

Work at the packhouse today was pretty good, that's because we spent quite a lot of time standing and waiting for work ! ahahha

Weather is getting colder now, brrrrr

Day 12 - 1 coffee, 1 tea and a great yummy lunch !

It's International Culture Day at the packhouse today, we had a potluck lunch where we each brought something that represents your culture. And I brought............... Maggi Goreng ! haha, that was one very Malaysian item that i can think off ! Well, it was also becos that was the easiest to prepare, muahaha.

Work is still boring, the only entertainment is the faint music we hear from the radio that is placed too far away ! Waiting for "I'm yours" each day is such a treat ! You would see everyone in the repack team dancing along to that !

And the biggest decision that I have to make everyday is to figure out what to cook for dinner and the next day's lunch ! Mind you, that's a real tough decision ..

I'm yours.... la.. la .. la..

Day 5 - 2 coffees and 1 cup of tea

I'm still surviving...the weather was pretty good today, and I kinda did a different task today, not just staring and rolling the 2 kiwis in my hands ! I placed trays of golden kiwi thru the labelling machine, and shifted it over for the girls to sort. A lil more physical.. good for me !

And.. I got first paycheck today !! yay ! though it was only a day's pay- for Sunday, but I'm more than happy ! Thus, I've decided to reward myself with a 30 mins internet session! hehe

gotta turn in soon, need to wake up at 6+ and can't afford to zone out at work..

good nite..

A day in a kiwi packhouse

I'm no longer unemployed !!

yippee !! It was a very last minute decision, agreed on Friday, bought a bus ticket on Friday nite, and up on the bus I am on Saturday noon. Am now in Bell Lodge in Tauranga, took a job in a kiwi packhouse. Am on Day 2 today.. hmm interesting. Ive never seen so much kiwi fruits in my life !!
Work starts at 8am everyday, all the way till 5pm, and I work 6 days a week !! Well, at least i'm doing something, and not just spending money here in NZ. hehe. Mom, aren't you proud of me now? At least I'm not feeling so stressed out.

Internet at this backpacker is expensive, so a short post this is ! will write more some other time ! :P
