just back in malaysia =D

its safer to just get a photo id, differs from state to state. more convenient.

Is a "alcohol license" == 18+ card in your definition?

IC i don't think can do, Malaysian driving license can, thats what i did last time, one of my friend forgot to tell me that i need a passport/photo identification to go to the pub, i just show my driving license and the bouncer just let me in. ~~sweet. just bring your passport la, and discipline your self, don't drink too much until you pass out.

helloo.. i'll be going to aussie in july. i just need to clarify something, will students who come in during the july intake, be enrolled in the same classes as those who came in february?

if so, then wouldn't i be, like, left behind, since the lecturer won't teach what has been taught in the past 6 months?

=S confused.

I didn't know tattoos work. If they do, I am so getting one (in fact, perfect justification for getting one)
Is that why all the kids here love to get tattoos once they hit 18?

can i use Malaysian driving license to drive there??...

guys..realllly need help...i will be studying in CQU Melb campus...but my enrolment will end like on 14th July, i still doesnt have student visa...do u think i still have enough time for my visa  be approve becoz i will apply it this morning...i already applied like since early June..but this IDP , was soooo slow in the communications between them and the U . The university already take the deposite from me..but they dont let me to enrol...Currently im using tourist visa, really need help in this....urgent...

for my last year of uni, Im gonna have 4 units left. Will it be ok if I only take 4 units for the last year. 2 units persemester. will it be possible? cause i heard that international student must take 6 units per year. but i have enough credits.

student visa? i rememeber i did mine online... the e-visa or something and it was pretty fast...

aiyoo... that plastic thing... averagely i think everyone has one lor... some even have more than 3... HAHHAHAHHA...

but well if you really dont have one... use someone else one lar... pay back in cash will do... very efficient...

really? but how come so many indians doing that?

OH YEA, if you want to be a TAXI DRIVER too!! so many indians doing... and they actually making quite a bit...

but then again, dont plan to earn your tuition fees OR even daily expenses here... pretty hard though... unless you are really good and lucky and hard working and PRETTY!! HAHHAHAHAHA... my friend could work like a super girl, and she is pretty and hardworking... she used to work everyday... and in those restaurants where they pay 20bucks per hour + 100bucks tips a day... so... it depends AGAIN... normal people CANT do that!!

hmmm it was those high ends restaurant where you expect to pay more than 100bucks for a meal... i havent been there though... =P

eh... having a credit card is not RICH... rich people use CASH...

hello again.. i know the main semester is february.. but are there equally many ppl who go for second semester intake?

i doubt so. And depends on what degree you take. The main intake is on Feb. that is when all the 1st year(local students) start their degree.
So i doubt it would be equal.
If you do engineering you would be greatly disadvantage UNLESS a lot of students taking the subjects/electives course.

The contrary is true. Credit cards are not privileged items, unlike the way we see tend to see them in Malaysia. Over here, using a credit card means you are most likely in debt hence it is not a good sign.

Because resources wise, main intake is on Feb. Ask yourself this, would you prefer to be in the main intake or the latter intake?
Unless you have enough students(not always the case) to teach those subjects then you should be fine and yeah if the uni approved the course.
That is why they have disclaimer that some subjects will not be available for students enrolling in second sem, especially engineering students.
It's EFTPOS btw, which is seriously cool here and a very convenient way of paying bills.
i prefer debit card although mines is a tad ugly design but hey at least it served its purposes. probably i have to change it if Westpac merge with St. George's Bank.

Yup guys last paper today and i be partying late nite after exam!
yipee can't wait to be back home.

Yeah, I was born here.  Too bad I can't give you guys more info about debit cards and stuff, I'm pretty clueless I just know that I use a streamline account.. no monthly fees or withdrawal fees I think.  I think you have to be a citizen for that tho

babiix i wonder why an OZ is here in LYN?

Are Aussies study freaks or they just enjoy life as much as they can?

Like in Malaysia, some are really bookworms to the max, some just don't care about their lives and do whatever they want.

Is Australia's life style better than Msia and in what way?

I'm going to Australia at 2012 and I want to know more about Aus.

Guys, i have question to ask,

does anyone ever transfer money to M'sia?

From Malaysia yes...but I don't think anybody in their right mind would want to transfer to Malaysia.

What i mean is that does anyone know the Oversea transaction code for maybank? I need it...

Well thanks for the info. But i need to the Branch No.

Hey guys, where do you guys get the adapter that are used to plug into the socket shown in page 1?

I found the traveling one but I read that the traveling one is not supposed to be used permanently as it might caught fire.

So where do I get the adapter which has a permanent pin that fits into the socket shown in page 1 ?

r u in Perth now? 

It shouldn't catch fire under normal circumstances. Don't plug high-wattage equipment into it, i.e. anything that generates lots of heat (heater, hair drier, kettle..).

If you want to rip out your existing plugs and replace them with the aussie one, you can get them from Big W or other hardware shops. Takes just a few minutes to change them.

When you open your bank account at a branch, you will get a BSB number, which is the branch number.

yea just change the plug, it costs about $1.29 (HFM brand ~ from Bunnings)

I changed the plugs for most of the appliances, they worked fine,

or just buy local plug / adapter cheap from a Flea Market. [cause some of the appliances, only got 2 pin and different head]
