Computer Science, final year.

For mobile, I reckon you should start with prepaid first. The mobile plan that suits you best depends on the bunch of friends you'll be calling most.

Here you go. Yucks what an ugly url.

Hey, if you're studying in Melbourne, we can try to arrange a small gathering before the semester starts. Drop me a PM with your contact #, location, and the days you're available..

Yeah, as you said.. wait a little longer into the semester before organizing anything.

Yeah, and to think I just got out of there yesterday My morning flight was delayed an hour due to bad weather, and the city was congested as heck.

A standard cab from Tullamarine to Southbank (23km) costs $55. Tullamarine to Clayton is double the distance, so I'd expect that you pay around $110, give or take some?

However, if it isn't, then the students are getting shortchanged! The administration/teaching staff ought to take due diligence in ensuring that their students' academic needs are met, and while unforeseen circumstances do happen, they should be the exception not the norm. Perhaps that's what's going on at RMIT? Without having read the news article (where is it? I can't find it through Google News), I can only speculate..

Does anyone want a LYN tshirt? We could organize a bulk for those who are in .au.

From your previous post it appears that it's your first year here, thus your first time booking a flight back? Well, just so you know, it's peak peak peak season during in December, so next time, book early and beat the rush.

Ahh and if you believe that it's any different with SIA; that you can get a flight back at your whim, well.. just try it and see And good luck trying to get a refund too if it happens that you need it

Sigh. I gave you advice to book earlier in the future and cautioned you that it's not snap-easy to get a ticket during peak season, neither is it to get a refund for a partial ticket. If that isn't being helpful, what is?

Look, I went through the same situation as you okay; I booked my flight late and the first available flight was past my ticket expiry. SIA told me that due to IATA regulations my partially-used ticket couldn't be refunded. I almost forfeited my ticket had it not been for a personal favor from a friend's mother's friend within SIA.

Jam factory in Toorak.. about $20-40 per pax excluding drinks.

What does that have to do with racism?

Computer stuff are generally cheaper in Malaysia. But you might find good deals on used computers in Aus.

I brought in a whole computer+monitor set last year from KL to Melbourne. 20kg = RM350 with DHL, and it arrived in 3 days. I guess I was pretty lucky as it didn't get held up by customs.
