A trip to mandarin farm

After Final exam, then it is time for 1 month holiday--- NO, is one month plus 1 week plus few days holiday. Me and my few buddy to get a job for this coming holiday. I am thinking to spend my holiday living in a farm as a fruits picker, and now exactly the mandarin orange season. In order to get this type of job, lovely Karen became my target for inquiry.

11.00am- Trip started. With my handsome Gets, we went to petrol station to refill petrol (AusD 30.02). Don't ask me about the 2 cents...

11.30am- We reached Hungry Jack at Cannington for our breakfast. Yes, you guys are right, hamburger. With only this hamburger for our br-unch.

12.00pm- Start calling to Karen asking the exact location of the farm. She gave us 2 choices, one is a persimmon fruit farm, and other is Mandarin farm. 1st of all, we went to the persimmon fruit farm.

12.30pm- We reached. Surprisingly the owner of the farm is a Malaysian from Penang. We try the kiwi fruit (yellow pulp), har? never see this b4? Me too. I am so "sat kai", but it really taste good. We start asking for the job, sadly now is then ending season of persimmon fruit, and they no need picker anymore. Sadly and we start moving to another farm - Mandarin orange farm which is quite far. About 1 hour journey.

2.30pm- ehhh how come now is 2.30pm? Cos we are new to Perth, we don't know the place, of course we get lost lahh. Luckily we got Karen, yes.. Karen again. She call to the farm and ask for the exact address. Cool, with this information given, En Tet as a compass (map reader) with assistant of Chee Siang. We reach the Golden Glove Farm, in front of that farm, there is another farm named 3 chilies farm. Although we get the wrong way many times, but finally we reached the farm. Wahh, this is the place that i want to introduce to you guys. Before we get down from the car, we saw many turkeys under the mandarin tree. We quickly run into the building and we saw a lot of types of orange, lime, mandarin orange and also 3 person inside.... hahah, then we start asking for the job. Wakau.. the mandarin season just started, so they no need so much ppl for picker, sadly there is a young boy there, which came early than us. FXXK U. make us hopeless and jobless again. Then we have a tour to the farm and took few photos.

3.15pm- Ar... En Tet need to work at 5.00pm, and now we are still inside the farm. Run....... nope Drive........ with my driving skills plus the map reader, we reach Perth railway station at

4.30pm- After that i don't know what happen to him ad. He said he is late, but eventually he reach there on time. (I don't care lahhh)

5.00pm- Me and Chee Siang rush for another mission( as a kitchen man). Yes, the manager agree to let us join the training. Wahh.. We are so happy. And finally we reached home. Thinking to sleep, but........
