foreign labour part 3

after kiwi picking and then fish packing, we now have a 3rd casual employment - kiwi packing. the kiwis just drop crazily fast from the conveyor and we have to pack pack pack. some are packed into boxes, which is fine; but there are some that has to be packed into trays individually. i cannot make it la. too slow for the job. and then i cut my finger on the conveyor. now the whole index is swollen with a very deep cut. hurts to even bend it. damn. really accident prone. and there are some songs that are permanently on repeat mode at the packhouse, so they sorta get stuck in our heads now. boo

today we worked 8am to 630pm & tomorrow we have a day off. we shall go see prospective homes so that we can leave Tauranga and be nearer to our packhouse in Te Puke (and away from the ahnehs). I shall bake kiwi and apple muffins too!

it's really cold when it's raining. brrr. but i love my electric blanket. happy! cos we had pork chop & celery + carrots with rice for dinner. i hope i can cook dinner for my bro when i'm back in sg. haha if not he like very poor thing always skip meal/ eat instant stuff/ takeaway.
