Appiee's photo

It's really hard to find time to sit down and blog about your recently life when you are busy with work. However, the weather bureaucracy sent out a flood warning in the early morning. Therefore, it means no work today. Yay~! Gonna get some rest! But, sigh~ no work means no money, no money means no honey. =P

You all must be wondering what's appiee, I bet. haha... just my own term for apples. In the farm, I notice the supervisor always end the noun he use in "-ie"

for example, when he's suppose to say

"Go and have a check on the row you have done just now"

he would say: "Go and have a checkie on your previous row"

I also discover many Aussie terms they use in the farm (or should I say Tassie?).

'tea' = 'dinner'

'smoko' = 'small break between work' (perhaps for those who smoke, I think)

and of course many more XD

The farm I work in is called Carlthorpe a.k.a. Top Qual. The company is based in Hobart (capital city of Tasmania), just that its major apple farm is in Lonnie.

Alright, I'm too lazy to elaborate any further. Let the photos do the talking!

There're many species of apples in the farm, eg. Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Royal Gala, Pink Lady, Jazz, Granny Smith, Fuji .... etc.

Just to let you know the amount of crates used to shift the apples during the apple picking season. See the building behind the crates? It's almost 4 storey high.

Gosh~ who knows what'll happen when the crates fall? XD

The one in the picture above is Granny Smith, which we normally call "Granny's Apple"

Guys, meet Kris...... and his sexy jeans XP

I had a Korean working partner and this bloke is my current partner. His background is rather complicated or should I say "A fuzz of life"? He was a drug addict *OMG!* , and now he's major in Fine Arts *WHAT~!?", and specialised in oil painting. hmmm... what can I say about him?

hmm..... Quiet but definitely hard working (he's so far the best working partner I can find on the farm, because the pay you get is the speed of your work, and your partner's as well)

The supervisor always repeat their favourite quote:

"One big, one small.... Take big, leave small

Many big, many small.... Take small, leave Big

Many small, no BIG.... Take them all

All medium, take till there's 1/2 left"

Nik aka Nik Aziz (ya.... same as the one in PAS) XD

Another Malaysian in the farm, who's also an architecture student,

just that he's taking master. And we are the only Asians, but who cares?

That's all about it, hope you guys have a great early 2011 as well! CHEERs!!
