so how is it actually lei?? this means i can bring one laptop bag and one hand luggage on board for MAS?? hmm mati la my cargo luggage is overtweight now... 24kg...

Yes. You can bring one laptop bag and one hand luggage

Don't worry no problem la with luggage. My frens take 29kg pun lepas. Myself on business class (suppose 30kg) but I took 34kg and my fren 39kg. Don't worry.

it depend on who yg jaga kaunter. My limit was 25kg but I took 27kg cant lepas

i take Mas, going tomolo..luggage weight 25 kg, Hand luggage 9kg...Plus one labtop bag..WILL I BE OKAY? i dont want pay for the extra...

25 kg shud be alright.. hand luggage ppl wont care unless it cant go into the over head compartment.

yeah, 25kg is not a problem, my flight was weekdays and my weight limit is 20kg, but i checked in with 27.2kg.. haha... the fella let me go through... so lucky.. anyway i heard for student they don't really care, as long ur weight is not too much. also if it's during weekend, maybe they will more strict coz got a lot student are traveling.

i'm going back to msia in 2 weeks. can anyone confirm about bringing liquids on board the planes? i'm buying perfumes for my brothers/sister, can i put it in the baggage? i know it's a no-no in the hand luggage...

AZARI.. i heard they are quite strict if u go back to Malaysia from UK.
Especially ur hand luggage, it has to be small (according to the size given)
else, they won't let u in. My friend went back to Malaysia too 2 weeks ago. She took Emirates frm Birmingham and she said she had to buy a special hand luggage to put her stuff. I heard u gotta to bring the 'transparent' bags.

i had a chat awhile ago with my friend who just went back to singapore:

baggage checked-in at the counter will go through normal security checks. so liquids like toothpaste, hairgel, perfume should be fine in there. they only check the hand/cabin luggage. after u passed into the boarding area (past the security checkpoint), u can buy whatever stuff u want from the duty free area to bring it aboard the plane.

funny, coz last week's news stated that a huge number of workers at heathrow airport are illegal immigrants...

Baggage as in the big luggage that you have to check-in? If it is, yes you can.

You can get the perfumes on board too. But I'm not sure whether the perfume you want is available or not.

wat subject u taking? they just canceled off the working permit after ur cease of study for accounting but UK now is in favour of engineering and doctor and technologies! so if u r in these field u still can get ur working permit to work for another few yrs after ur cease of study! its like u can work and earn some money and tour Europe! thats wat lots of student do!

if u need more Info u can visit British Councel they provide u a lot of useful info!

I'll be finishing my first degree in 2008, still a long way to go but I'm planning my post grad education now My tuition fee will be approximately �11,500 and living expenses will be �10,250 (will be there with my future spouse ) - it'll be somewhere in Coventry .

That's approximately RM150,000 right? So am thinking of ways to fund that. So how did you guys get to the uk? Bank Loan? Yayasan/Government Scholarship? Fama Scholarship () ? Am on Telekom scholarship now but they dont extend to sponsor postgrad anymore Bank loan seems like a feasible option. My parents can either refinance the house or put it as a collateral to take a study loan. But I'm looking for more ideas

Thanks!

�10,250 = 2 person + accomodation + food ?

FaMa scholarship for me

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

Increase your tuition fees.

Accomodation - Seems alright to me
Bills - Including internet for that amount of money
General - Less than your stated amount if you shop less
Books - Definitely more than that if you are planning to buy. Books are not cheap in UK
Travel - Not enough

Both my friends who are doing Phd. are funded by: -

1) Her professor
2) A huge company

So my point is, do well in your degree, get in good terms with your project supervisor and that's where you'll start off

it would also depend on the research ur doing. social sciences are less likely to have funding that would sustain u living in the UK as compared to engineering.

Am thinking of doing Masters in Software Engineering @ soton (I mentioned Coventry in my last few posts here. It's Masters in Informaiton Systems & Mgmt @ warwick - will be applying for both)

Talked to my parents. My future spouse will be allowed to work but dono la how much he can earn. I still hv to prepare tuition fees + plane tix + deposit for accomodation, phone, internet...

Worse come to worse I might wanna retake some of my subjects to jack the cgpa to 3.75
