What A Cherry Day!!!

Assalamualaikum to everybody!!! yeah...it's yours truly Elyn here. Been quite busy lately. That's why the last few posts were done by AzD. Anyway, ada banyak nak cerita but satu-satu lah.

So, hmmm...yesterday was a looooooooooooong day for us. Went to Young with a bunch of friends for cherry picking. Yup, started the trip at around 8am. Rented 4 MPVs. Took about 4 hours to get there. Along the way, the scenery was beautiful. Rasa mcm ala-ala tgk citer The Macleod's daughter ( an Aussie drama series which I myself tak teringin nak tgk pun..hehe).


By the time sampai kat Cherry Heaven Orchard tu there were heaps of people. Biasa la, gi mana2 pun ramai chinese. After the registration, everybody got themselves a bucket utk letak all the cherries yg bakal dipetik. Since there were about 26 of us (including budak2 yg tak cukup umur lagi), so kena la guna 2 pick up. Bila ramai2 dok atas ute tu rasa mcm buruh kasar la pulak. Hahahaha....

Jauh jugak la omputih tu drive bawak masuk kitorg semua dlm orchard tu. Sampai2 je kat the intended spot, we all pun dgn berkobar2 terus terkam pokok2 cherry. So bermula la kerja memetik cherry yg sungguh sopan tergantung kat pokok tu. Sambil petik sambil masuk mulut. Hehehe....Everybody had fun sampai ada tu penuh bucket with cherries. Rasanya we spent about 1 hr maybe kat orchard tu when finally the ute pun dtg nak amik buruh2 kasar ni balik.


So I think everybody brought back at least a box of cherries with them. For every kilo of buah cherry yg kitorg petik bwk balik, they charged us $6. Not bad la kot, tapi rasanya lebih kurang sama je yg jual kat fruit market tu. Lepas abis beli cherry it was time to eat. Finally!!! Lapar giler. Since everybody was allocated a certain dish to be cooked, so banyak la lauk2 yg dipreparekan. Ada ayam masak lemak, udang, sayur kangkung, daging masak kicap, ayam goreng, sambal belacan, sambal tempe, keropok and kek. Waaa..sedap betul bila makan ramai2. Tapi satu je bara, tak de Krispy Kreme. Aiseh, Dr Faisal 'terlupa' pulak nak beli ye. Nevermind, akan ku tuntut krispy kreme 2 dozen in the near future. hehehe...We all conquered the tables and chairs kat kedai orchard tu. And Azd said omputih2 yg passed by nampak pelik bila tgk kitorg semua makan pakai tangan. Hehehe.....aaah ignore them, janji kenyang beb!


Bila semua perut dah kenyang, standard la mata pun mula ngantuk. After the cherry picking we all went to the jam factory. Dah nama pun jam factory so boleh la tgk how they make cherry jam. Stop lama jugak kat area tu sebab nak solat. Right after that, we headed to Chinaman's Dam. Tempat tu biasa je, ala2 mcm garden. Ada park and a lake. By this time rasanya semua org dah exhausted sebab masa tu dah almost 6pm. So we (Kak khaz's family and the 2 of us to be exact) decided to cabut awal sebab dah takde mende pun nak buat. The rest of the gang pulak still nak melepak2.


Jadinya, there goes another 4 hrs journey back home. Banyak abis masa on the road sebab cherry pickingnya only took us about 1 hr je. Hehehe...but anyway it was a great day. But I think, next time buat cherry picking kat Woolies je. Tak payah gi jauh2. Kuang kuang kuang........
Kesimpulan cerita: Azd and I collapse dgn bersungguh2nya malam tadi sebab kepenatan, dan disebabkan penat itulah we both decided utk bagi cuti kat diri sendiri. Tak gi school....hehehe. Pemalas!!!!!
