I have reach Launceston, Tasmania..... A good place (in terms on enviroment). How am i goin to survive at here without internet?

wow; isnt it cooler there..
lolx.
how to survive without net? enjoy the scenery, find girlfriends

hey guys, i'll be flying to adelaide on 25th feb(next monday), i'm concerned about stuff thats prohibited for bring-with-me cabin luggage or check-in cargo luggage items..

first, about food product.. these are what i bought and plan to bring, do you think they will be confiscated or its okay with KLIA and adelaide airport?


i refered the website, but not sure if the items i shown above are listed..
http://www.daff.gov.au/aqis/mail/cant-mail

also, anyone have more tips on legal/illegal items for luggage to australia?
this is kind of my first time going oversea alone, last time i went to London but i was 5years old at the time.... haha

ya, i know the food products kind of makes me look noobish but i want to make effort to save money thru budget eating for the 1st semester..
my financial aid AKA mara or shell sponsor will be approved(if it does) by end of my 1st sem.. so that means now i'm being funded by my parents, i really feel sad holding their life savings money but i promise to them that i would make the best use of it and succeed!!


p/s 1 : other stuff preparing to pack into luggage bag(cargo); lots of clothes, sleeping bag, stationery(A4 paper and test pad, 500sheets each), hygiene products(usual stuff, but can i bring a oral-b mouthwash 300ml?)

p/s 2 : what about my laptop? bring in as cabin or cargo luggage? does the officer want me to turn it on or something and check files?? i have no idea

boleh tahan also your baggages, just bring wat you need, not all you needto buy just to save cost
yes oral B mouth wash is OK: wont be problem
your laptop hand carry
no, they dont have rights to check up your laptop content

and one more thing; while you are in KL, hardly you will go screen except for the 100ml liquids until you reach adelaide; you will be screen tightly in quarantine zone
good luck bringing lotsa stuff over

Re: mooze

Your "solid - kayu manis, bunga lawang" might be a problem. Other than that I think most things will get through. If they want you to chuck, PLEASE, and all other students coming to Australia take note, don't argue with them.

READ THE FRONT PAGE!

Seriously, if I was the moderator of this sub-forum I would give you a warning. Enforcement.

haya; chill, dont be mad with people who dont know; the FAQ also not stated about it.
will clean it up soon.

who are your friends who are in melb btw? just want to know whether there's anyone else from HELP who are here right now..

there should be LOTS of Malaysians in UQ too apart from those from HELP..

hey bro..
sori if its my mistake...
i was asking coz i din find da info on da 1st page...
sori bro...
my bad

aiks..need help here..whats the best way to get air ticket? my friend told me to get an agent..but i dont know which is good..anyone can recommend? possibly kl-sydney route...>.<

KVReninem, its called "enforcement of standards", a concept very alien to Malaysians. In this postof mine, I made it very clear since we had the chance for a fresh start, let's at least lay down some ground rules for this thread (and I'm okay if you don't want to type properly, just don't ask stupid questions which can be anwsered in a FAQ in the 1st page), and some enforcement.

Don't forget the JPA students coming into UQ.

You really have to be here early to get a place. There is a severe shortage right now, so it is very difficult to get a place, even more so when you are a student, without income and no previous rental history. You'll be competing against others who have better records. I'd say let the market cool and search again in April/May. Rents will go up slightly as the interest rates are rising again (yes AGAIN), but when there is less competition, it is generally easier to get a place.

Why do rents increase with interest rates? That's because many investment properties being leased are purchased through a mortgage and as mortgage costs rise, so do the need to pass on these increases to the tenants. However, rents can only increase as much as the market value. Once the increase go above market value, landlords will find it difficult to rent it out and they wouldn't risk listing for too long as it incurs a significant cost to them.

A few years ago, the rental market is so bad that landlords are offering discounts, and free gifts to get tenants to sign a lease. Now, it's the opposite. It's just a poor deal right now.
