i heard it myself few hrs back and jes have to write it here. the last time i was here i heard from the guys that u could earn upto $2000 per month jes by picking apples. and i was like WHOA! thats alot of money considering u have to work five days a week morning 9 till evening five to get that much. But after i came here again i spoke with the person whose actually done it and it seems i was wrong.
He said that he worked there during his holiday from work a few months back. like he says him being the lazy bum he is, he wakes up around 10 or so and then go over to pick apples. it seems there are like one ton baskets or sumthing.(havent seen myself, probably will go tomorrow). and they give u a basket or so and tell u which kinda apples u have to pick. usually its 70% reddish coloured ones. the not fully ripe ones. and once ur basket is full u have to go and empty it to the big one. and for each big one u get $30. different places having different rules.
so anyways he wakes up around 10 and goes there. he comes back home for lunch by which time his wife has cooked for dinner as well, they have lunch and he goes with his wife. and they pick apples till its evening time and then come back. i kid u not when i say this. he said that in 16days him and his wife got over $3000(over Rf36000) for it. seems they get like 300 each day they work. Whoa! i i was like "i should stop this and go start picking apples. lol". Too bad its a seasonal thing. but then again different fruits have different seasons ;) .Neways, it came as a surprise to me so thought of sharing. adios.

lol, i really wud like to see u on a ladder with a basket. but thats hell cool. and if u seriously do consider going, please, send me some apples, those half red, half green ones.
hamsters do eat apples, right?
@shweet: my exact thoughts
@anonymous: well, theyve got experience and were really efficient to be able to fill that many bins in less than 3 weeks. but i thought singapore payed alot of money. and 3500 IS a lot of money dho.
@ikko: i told u that u shouldve taken up on that offer to come here to work. hehe. so sad
@calli: im afraid sumthing might happen to the ladder *whistle*. and if im here for the season im definitely going. lets see if i can get to extend my visa up until then. and yea, hamsters do eat apples. i fed lily......once though. other times it was grapes, leeks and jamburoalu.
working ur ass off n earning 3.5k doesnt seem a lot when rentals are like 2k the rest is sky high. when compared to male u save more or less the same without much stress.
@anonymous: so i taknt as good as they make it sound to be huh? cos if u cant save enough by getting S$3500 a month, then thats a HUGE prob right there. hehe
so in weekends if u work there picking apples you wil get 600 in two days that means 2400? sheesh thats alot
I should quit brewing chemicals and go work!.
@aesha: yep. thats right. but like i said earlier, its a seasonal thing.and its winter now. sigh
@the shadowrunner: hehe. that u shud my friend. and dude, we've got a guy here hu's exactly like u. the laugh, the talking, and his actions when he's describing an incident are exactly the same. he even looks a bit like u. only he's about 10yrs older. i kid u not my friend.
wow, picking apples is the way forward!
