First of all MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU! Where you heading btw?

Bo bian loh, already paid. Just keep going lah. Not to say they suck lah, but they're definitely not the best ones out there. Things they missed (so far) are little bit here and there, no big damage caused just that it annoys me only. Re-submissions on and on and on.

Reason I'm engaged to agency is also like everybody else. I'm busy with work most of the time.

Engineer bah.. what to do.

heard of PTE-A?
i heard is slightly easier than IELTS but not much learning material in internet

congrats! Good on you.

see you soon

LOL yea. I miss the beaches, the food and some of the people.

But I missed most of the same things here in Malaysia when I was in Aus. Such is life though

Unsure where just yet. Might go back to Perth first, then go to QLD/ NSW.

Yea i used an agency because it was too hectic and I had to work too much. Good thing is my old office was just a stone throw away from my agency's office hehe. So I could stop by whenever (not that I needed to).


YOu see how it goes. YOu can always pick up and engage another's service. It's your right, and they can't deny you that. It's just that the service fee burn lah.

BEst of luck for IELTS.

We've been saying that we want a Perth gathering! Havent seen any yet

Aiks why never organise?

Also for some reason, Malaysians who are based in WA always tell me 'Perth is boring'.

Eh hello. Never been, never stayed how they know. If you're anti social, then ofocurse lah. I had heaps of fun and was busy every damn weekend, lol.

We should soon organise something when empire is in. Or even when you are here! Will be cool to finally put faces to the name.

Yeah. We should.

Lai lai we go idart

Havent seen your post in Kopitiam for awhile

Slowing down already got lifes to maintain , u guys got a post for perth ? i go make one on whatsapp so everyone in perth or australia can join

Cool! Dropped you a pm! Much easier to talk in a group chat rather than in forum.

Hey all, I just recently got an offer in Sydney and is currently in the midst of the 457 visa application process.

I'll be moving in w my wife and my son (few months old). May I know how is it like living in Sydney? And also in terms of cost? I'm looking at say - 6.5k to 7.5k salary range - and I've actually renting at 500 per week at a nearby suburb from my relatives.

Thanks

Is that before tax? Be prepared to be taxed heavily!

I haven't live in Sydney so I can't comment but I heard the cost of living is pretty high. All the best and good job for landing a job in Sydney

Thread Started for Malaysian People who live in Australia Kindly PM i have added you .

I think the most expensive part will be the rental. Everything else is reasonable, groceries, for example, cheaper than MY, without conversion. U can eat fairly luxuriously for 400 a month.
Baby expenses...been informed that diapers, milk, cheaper thsn MY, without conversion.
Public transport is frequent n reliable n u may not even need a car, depending on where u live and work.
500 is a decent rental for a 2br, however, keep in view on how u gonna get to wotk. Sydney is very large n if u live n eork on opposite sides of the city, u can be looking at a 2 hour commute each way.
All in all 7k per month is pretty good. A lot of people raise families on 4k a month.
