Take it from me it isn't easy. There will be days when you just drop to your knees, swear at the Almighty and cry your heart out. Some days will get so hard you just want to lay in bed. And there will be many of those days.
I'm not sure you're the type that has commitment. But if you can be the type that sees things through, that takes a step forward regardless of adversity and a very thick skull. You'll do just fine here. Or anywhere else for that matter. Hell, if you have that mean streak that tell you to never give up, you could be dropped into Congo and come out a millionaire in 5 years.
If you want to migrate, be sure you have the attitude.
Agreed 110% !!!! Sometimes people think going overseas to study/live is like vacation but they dont see the down days. You just described my down days to the T ! There will be times where you wonder WTH are you doing so far from home. Some days you just want to lock yourself in your room, put on emo music and just be emo. So yeah, make sure your are ready mentally as well. I'm not sure you're the type that has commitment.

Do you automatically get PR after 5 years in NZ even though it's for education purpose??
In the UK, residence for education purpose doesn't count towards getting permanent residency.
I dont know about NZ but for UK since this years imigration changes, education visa i.e. Tier 4's can cout towards PR-ship. Its 10 years for a mixture of education and work visa but if you get like a Tier 1 (last time) or Tier 2 (now) for 5 years for more, you can start to apply for PR already. In the UK, residence for education purpose doesn't count towards getting permanent residency.

well, as for my opinion, if u holds tarc degree, yes most of the places recognize the certificate and it shouldnt be a problem for u getting a job overseas(what matter is how much the job pays u?). For me, im going to UK on January to get my degree for one year..I been there for holiday, even been to china, australia. Main problem im facing, is with food, well u think in overseas u can have rice?or u think u can have the kind of taste u eat here?NO..in UK, people eat fast foods, even if u eat their chinatown rice, u will feel awkwardly different. In China, yes they eat rice, but the taste totally different, it doesnt suit us at all what more to say about Australia?How about weather?Went to UK 9 day holiday my skin dry like hell..yes u can adapt overtime. but malaysia will always be the place that u were born and raise n ur root are here. I hate how to government treat us, but i love my country. THis is where i born.
I beg to differ. I have been studying and living in the UK for 3+ years now. And I can swear chinese food here taste so much better than make home is Malaysia, this is because the chefs are from China or HK so the receipes are authenthic. Msia dim sum cannot fight UK dim sum, even those in Msian highclass hotel only can par with UK dim sum. Also there are alot of Msian food here, nowadays can easily get. Of course for the more rare stuff like panda leaf, belacan etc. have to go to asian grocer but stuff like Milo, tom yam paste all big super markets like Tesco, Sainburys, Waitrose M&S all also have already.
