i am going to melbourne u
do u guys know the rate for the accommodation there? melbourne university vicinity
let's say an apartment with three rooms and with only two rooms.

Just share Windows Live contacts. Should go on the Friday one, with the live gig at the Roundhouse.

Go to O-week everyday! There's not much else to do anyways.. Then we can go to Mamak
Is it possible to have no tutes?

Mamak so soon? I find that if I get too addicted to Malaysian food, it makes me homesick too soon since the Malaysian food here is often crap and overpriced, watered-down fare. Though, I might want to give this a try: http://www.mamak.com.au/
Generally there are no tutes in Week 1, unless you have an overzealous course admin. O Week is in Week 0, a non-study week. If you're doing some courses which has a laboratory component, Week 0 may also be used as an introductory session.
UNSW now implements a 12-week full academic session, in line with other Go8 unis. Previously, we have 14-weeks of study and teaching, so be prepared for more cramming people!

from ur explanation, i dont have tutes! ever.. well, for sem 1 that is.. weird but lucky!
12-week of academic session means we have a month break!

Thanks guys, I think I have all my stuff sorted out already.

Yup, I'm going to Trinity College, but it'll be the residential college. What are you going there for? Foundation Studies, Summer School, Residential?

btw.. how bout printer??
normally how much do they sell in aussie??

Buy printers when they are on offers, you will get a great deal.

I think you will just need to buy an optional USB cable (which it is not included in the package) to connect the printer to the computer.

Buy 10 rolls of toothpaste

I'd say. Streaming from video sites without having to pause. Full speed on all p2p file sharing systems. I'm on TPG, and I'm on the $60/month plan which gives me 30GB. Split between 4 people, that is just slightly above 7GB per person. Seriously, if you do download more than that A MONTH, consider getting a life.

The only problem I have with TPG is their transparent proxy, which can be a bugger if you are a rapidshare person. On the plus side, your IP is static, so no such rubbish as disconnecting/reconnecting to get a good IP, and if you do get banned, its only you. I'm sick and tired of stupid Malaysians who get the whole 60.48.x.x-60.52.x.x range banned. And i ever find who got the whole *.tm.net.my DNS range banned in a certain channel, I'll hunt him/her/it down and kill it.
Price wise, there is very little difference once you take the currency exchange into consideration. Australia is not the pendalaman okay?! You don't have to take all your sundry goods with you. Remember, unless you're flying Business/First, all we have is 20KG.

Added on January 15, 2008, 10:57 amAre you out of your mind? Honestly, toothpaste is NOT that expensive in Australia, and as discussed a few pages back, it is the basic stuff that is normal in price. I once knew someone who brought 3 packs if Double A paper over to down under. WHY?! Its not like you can't get paper there!

I'll just end with this: penny wise, pound foolish. Think about it.

actually getting 3 box of toothpaste good enuf for you a year.

Good airlines, like MAS and SIA allow 30kg if you're a student. You must inform them about this when you purchase your tickets.
