C plastic LOL

3 is quite popular amongst uni students even within my circle of friends, but yeah the complains about coverage do exist. Not many people use Optus but I think the cap plans are pretty decent as well. Meh, I'm using the pre-paid but it's already sufficient for my needs.

Public holiday tomorrow... but damn it so much to study and yet I don't think I'm making much progress. T_T

Laksa King is probably the best Malaysian food in the whole of Melbourne, but still it's not as good as the authentic ones we get back home T_T

Nasi Lemak house is ... I guess everyone has a problem with the auntie boss there... Food-wise it's not exactly great either. Laksa King's nasi lemak is much better than the so-called Nasi Lemak house.

厨意at Franklin has pretty good Chinese cuisine, but the price is slightly steep... worth it though, esp if go with a bunch of people.

duh.... Still got exams next Thurs... see how

Maybe we really should get together one day... KV you become ketua lah haha

Erm... dude I think haya is just mucking around lah... Can't you see the irony in his post?

welcome to melb... but it's winter now and it's like a fridge out there

Buy more convertor plugs just in case. Having more than one saves you the trouble esp when you have a lot of appliances brought over from Msia.
Hoodies? Are you a rich kid ? For affordable ones just head over to Victoria market... 20-30AUD should suffice. High class ones just go to shopping malls... probably 30-50 or even more.

Enjoy all the msian food before you come

Deliquent? Why? The locals do it all the time... so do the international students...

Come on people, go to small electrical shops and get the adaptors. I bought them for RM4.90 each

And yeah, 2 or 3 will be more than enough. I only brought two of them over and one of them is in my kitchen.

Jimat cermat a bit loh my friend... no one forced you to come to Australia anyway

Still, if you're already here and the cost of living is a big burden... try to save as much as you can I guess... entertainment costs are the easiest to cut down. Screw cinemas... why bother paying 13-16 bucks when renting a DVD is available for 1 buck? Or just use BT Pubs... nah... why burn money there? Entrance fee is already a killer (unless you're a lass going during ladies' night)... don't drink so much loh... alcohol is bad for the liver.

The dire state of students cramping like sardines are not commonly seen I guess. Internationals students esp Malaysians are still pretty ok over here, but of course don't compare to wealthy Indonesian Chinese

Went to Mornington Peninsula today... very shiok ah, although spent most of the time driving around looking at Melway
Hot spring... WAHHHHHHHHHHHH.... shioknya...

You'll miss Msia even more when you get here.

Yeah... snow's nice, but kinda overrated... I wouldn't want to live in a place with lots of snow anyway... love the hot sun more than fluffy ice kacang all over the ground.

four letters to be exact

Winter's slowly going away hehe... no more pitch black sky at 6pm anymore.... but damn it's raining everyday for the past week, same shit weather for next week too.

hot = good I hate wrapping myself like bakchang in winter.

Spring rocks.

man, looking at your avatar reminds me of Juno... I just watched it few days ago.

Feisty little firecracker.

Cold as hell, that's kinda wrong isn't it haha... hell should be smoking hot.

Are you a guy or a girl? This matters a lot.

For guys who don't really give a shit about fancy hairstyles, the cheapest you can find is along Elizabeth St, there's a hair dressing academy there where students cut your hair for 7AUD. Dirt cheap, but don't expect super good quality... it's bearable lah haha... For girls it's better to stay away from there. My sister goes to one Korean owned place along La Trobe St (Or maybe Lonsdale, not sure)... usually 25-30AUD, but most of them can't converse well in English so sign language is kinda vital

I used to go to the 7AUD one... need to jimat lah, AUD-RM very expensive wei... then I found one small one owned by a Chinese lady along Melrose St. near North Melb. Around 12AUD and it's not too bad too. Again, don't expect supermodel haircuts and it'll suffice. You'll probably need some transport to get there though, unless you're willing to walk 30 mins, that is if you walk as fast as I do.

wtf self-proclaimed lengzai

bear in mind there's every chance that they'll screw up your hair... but hey, everyone has to learn somewhere, isn't it?

I'll probably get my hair cut too this weekend... too long liao, like rumput liar...
