Dear Howang Tommy,
Firstly it is an optional service. Secondly If you read the "Airport Pickup Info", You will find the following matters:
Note: The airport pick-up information is only applicable to student entering Malaysia with the ‘Approval for Foreign Student Studying in Malaysia’ letter
I submitted the required docs for visa but still i didn't have receive any approval letter so although I have applied for the airport pickup but I think can't use this service if can't get that letter.
My flight is on 16th Sep. 10:55pm from Tehran by AirAsia X.
If it's optional, then I'm okay xD.

I believe a lot of these questions could be answered by the admission. Try to call them for quicker responses since it's close to the date already.
If bank draft in MYR is not possible for you at the moment, maybe you can consider paying via credit cards? I think CIMB or Maybank in Indonesia should be able to work something out. Ask them if you could get a bank draft in Malaysia in MYR even though your account is opened in Indonesia.
If airport is not convenient, I think you can always find a way to reach Nottingham yourself - it can't be required for every international students considering students from Singapore would not opt for air travel as well. I am not sure if it's possible, but a ferry to Klang (if that's available) would be more viable as it's nearer to the university. You'll probably need to find a way from Klang to go to KL Sentral. From there on, you can go anywhere including Nottingham (probably a mix of train and taxi, of just taxi if you just want to reduce the hassle).
As for visa, I think you will need to go to the Indonesian embassy some time when you are here. There's a visa office in Nottingham that should be able to provide you with the information and service you want.
As for the payments, can I transfer by bank (TT) then just bring the receipt when I arrive there?
As for going to Nottingham, I've been there and I know how, hehe. I'm from Batam, which is near Singapore and JB (not near Klang, that's another part of Indonesia, lol). When I went there last week, I took a bus from Singapore to TBS, then took a taxi to Nottingham (it was with my parents, this time going alone I wanna try riding the KTM from Tasik Selatan to Kajang xD).
After I've arrived there (around 14th Sep) do I need to report to anyone (that I've arrived there with a tourist visa whilst waiting for my student visa) or something? When I went to the visa office, they just told me that I can come in with a tourist visa to Malaysia since I've applied for my student visa and they'll process everything for me once I got there.
