erm, how's the weather in australia? perth especially.. is it very cold in winter? and it's apparently very hot in summer, much hotter than malaysia.. ?

the minimum that i've experienced in perth was 0c, but in actuality, it is not THAT cold. on the night of the 0c, which happened at around 3-4am and reverted back to 2-4c slightly after, i went out for a short stroll with a jacket n short pants. not really cold, unless the wind is blowing. 0c under a non-windy condition is much more bearable than a 6-8c on windy days.

My problem, with your original statement, and many others, is that "wartevar" asked for advice on transfering money back to Malaysia, and everyone comes in and talks about TT'ing TO Malaysia. If you went to a doctor complaining of a headache and he did a open heart surgery on you, I doubt you'd be impressed either.

My second gripe on this thread, this forum and Malaysian's online in general, and I have brought up here and here, is that proper usage of English is none existant sometimes. If you want a casual conversation may I direct you here.

I don't expect English used in a thesis. I don't expect everyone here to be a IELTS 9. I'm not asking it to be enforced Lowyat.net wide; you can use your short forms in the Kopitiam. I'm not even asking for it to be enforced in the Education Essentials subforum. All i ask, is that all participants of the Studying in Australia thread, who persumably should have a IELTS score of 6, and are (considering) studying in Australia, to use proper English. And spell check before hitting "Add Reply". Is that too much to ask?

You are lucky that some of us have taken the trouble to put some basic points in the first few posts in v2 of this thread iteration. The original thread was at best, a collection of conversations.

And while KVReninem was the original starter of this thread, and has done a good job in maintaining the front page FAQ, he is by no means  the owner, moderator and the final voice in this thread.

What? Are you incapable of typing in proper English in ONE thread in this subforum?

if you don't like the 'wartevar' statement that i've typed out. just ignore it will ya? or just click the report button (for not using a very good english).
i bet somebody else will be more than generous to help to answer the question that i've asked earlier. <--wow! no short forms!   
i just did it! 

p.s: 

a helpful forumer is to inform the newbie in the thread and direct him/her to the right place but not 'whack' him/her on the spot for uncapable of reading.

As Cheesenium (and many other people will privately agree with me), the corruption of English can be hard to read. I just don't understand where people learn to type like that. I will accept if your grammar and vocabulary  is not what you'd like to be, but spelling? No.

It's getting cold.Do i need gloves to keep my hands warm?

you can, if you want to  . I did brought one last year to keep me warm.

haha so cold you feel numb

As much as I like it to be, it is currently not a violation of the Lowyat.net forum rules for using corrupted English. And in� places where such a by-law is introduced (read: RWI), like everything else Malaysian, there is no enforcement. And I know how tough it is for the admins to manage and run a server. They don't have time to deal with petty matters like this. All I can do is make a stand.

And as a reflection to the ground situation in Malaysia, this generation expects to be spoonfed everywhere.

sounds familar, don't you think?

In other news, Brisbane's weather is beautiful these few days. Autumn has finally landed in Brisbane!

Yeah,a bit.Whats worse is my land lord doesnt allow me to use the warm tap water for some unknown reason.My hands always feel cold after i wash my hands.
