For laptop wise, i suggest you get it in Malaysia! Especially during pc fair because you can get better offer (FREE STUFFS) that might be useful and it would be expensive to get them in UK. Get a camera here cause you'll see lots of different building structure in UK!
No need to buy new shoes to bring to UK, just wear ur current ones which is comfortable. Slippers, you can buy in malaysia those cheap ones - anyway, u only wear slipper at home. I dun think you would want to wear them out there cause it's freezing cold!! unless you want to save till summer.
Winter clothing, it's true that there are lots of winter clothings in UK but it can be expensive (depends if you want to get branded one or not) if you buy them in primark, it can be cheap. It would b expensive if you buy from NEXT or Marks & Spencer.
Socks, you can bring some frm malaysia or get it there.
You really need lots of socks cause when it gets winter, socks will keep u warm.. hehehe

i would like to ask as well, if buying a handphone there is more worth it or getting their contract thingy there is better.

opinions are all welcome. thank u.

wat course r u studying?
let's say i gonna  study at bradford Uni for 1 year, the fees should be around 10K GBP
after i sum of everything u listed there, cost of living shoud be around 300GBP per month. so total expenses for 1 year at there should be RM 120K ( minimum ) ?
and for any emergency case, i spare a RM30K there, so the whole thing with RM 150K should be sufficient?

i am so excited ..going to uk end of next month, but still no idea with what to pack now...how many cloth and pants or trousers i should bring? Maggie mee buy here or buy there? My relatives there told me the tastes is the same one, they asked me better bring a rice-cooker..Haih...i am so ...don't know what to do now....even excited now but still feel a bit depressing cause leaving my family soon..

Yes they have waterproof stuff. The most popular waterproof technology is a membrane called GoreTex. Heck, even Prada Sport has a range of clothes which are made with GoreTex.

Expect to pay around �60 for GoreTex shoes (let's say, from Clarks), and �200 for good GoreTex (winter) jackets (let's say, from Tog24). If you don't like them heavy, there is a lighter (and pricier) GoreTex XCR version. Alternatively there are many other clothes made from different waterproof technologies which sell for cheaper.
I agree. Open up your taste buds!

i just came back from uni pre-depature briefing, the uni people says no need bring maggie mee, as there are a lot of asian stores there...but the maggie mee there is not cheap, after convert the price into ringgit, at least RM1.50 per pack...and should we apply 'International student card' and 'Nx2d'(i can't remember the name, just roughly like this) Card? as the travel agent called MSL said these cards are useful cause got discount everywhere? Actually all these benefits we can actually have it by our uni student card as well, isn't it?    one more month leave..........

I need management books.

No matter how cheap they are, they are still alot more expensive then Malaysia.

Amazon marketplace books are on average 20pds per book or alot more if the book is not a popular one. And for unpopular books, you cannot find them on ebay as well so even worse.

Not those ordinary soy sauce. Thick ones. The one they used to fry hokkien mee or fried kuey teow.

As for normal soy sauce, sure you could get it in UK. But some brands taste weird. Some taste just fine.
Yeap. You're right.

Few questions needs to be answered, hoping someone can help.

International students pay a higher fee compared to Euro Union students, International students fee is about 11,000 pounds compared to Euro Union students at about 3,000 pounds

I wonder does the system have a flaw?

Assume that a malaysian student who completes his first yr here and wishes to further his/her studies in UK, if he/she applies for a university in UK as a Euro Union student.

Does that mean he/she will be able to enjoy the priviledge of paying 3,000 pounds annually?

Ah.. I misread.. it's �1250 a month for a couple. This is what given to me :

Accommodation:  �550
Bills - Gas/ Electricity/ Water/ Tel (not mobile) �150
Food �300
General - inc.  Clothing/ internet etc �150
Books (for 1 student)  �30
Travel �50
Misc �20

TOTAL �1250/mo (�15k yearly)

... no mobile, no entertainment, no ebay tho

Ha that helps a lot. ya the bank confirmed with me too. but they said if u really want u can call up a department and ask them to give u an appropriate form to fill in... Thanks  . Btw, so this means for working as a part time, our salary will reduce also because of income tax? 

H guys...need some help here.....
If im going to the UK 3 months for a degree, i've been told that i only can get a 1/2 year visitor pass and not a visa. Thus, im not able to work part time there. 
So, if i still want to extend my stay to work in the UK after the 3 months, can i apply for a student visa or other kinds of visa. Im not familiar with the process, so anyone can help me? Thx.

i haven apply, jz considering this as it involves a large sum of money.

er.. the 'help' i mean... usually, those who going there will have the college that have twinning program to assist them whether they r in malaysia and when they reach UK, right? the help i mean was the service provided by college/uni to do the procedure, visa, application and how to settle down or get used at the new enviroment at there
