Actually I quite agree with panda-man. There is NOTHING wrong if you speak slang of your country. Totally nothing wrong at all.
Everybody speaks a bit of their own slang. So there is no problem to it.
Do you guys know that "lah" is recognized in dictionaries as one of a slang? In fact it has been in the dictionary for quite some time already.

QUOTE(mrRighthand @ Nov 4 2008, 01:30 PM) lol..you are right in a sense if u put it that way.. but still recession will hit hard on poor families and those with low qualification.. just hope it wont be that bad... Not quite right .. The recession will only hit poor families with large debts  Poor families who has no debt could survive the recession. Those who are the victims of this recession are those who are in a large debt. However, it is just another challenge for those who don't have big debts.

QUOTE(mrRighthand @ Nov 4 2008, 01:38 PM) what if their sources of income are cut off due to unemployment...that'll be bad right? Nope, that will just be another challenge for them. Hey, look at the bright side, nobody is chasing you for their money. You'll be safe as long as you can find another source of income. Those who are in trouble are those who have people from the banks chasing after their assets if they can't meet their repayment date. ======= Why anybody wants to yumcha with meruchan ? She looks like a donkey ... in her avatar  JoKING XD How come you guys are graduating much earlier than me? O_O I can only finish at MID 2011. That's unfair T.T

Adrian, It's best if you can find somebody that can help you sort out all your basic needs here.
I don't know where to find but I think IDP can help, even though they might not be a good choice but what choice do you have?

Hi MeruChan my dear, Australia is nothing different  Here, the only thing good about here is there's no such thing as Bumiputera.

QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Nov 4 2008, 07:52 PM) You havent come here yet.Once you are here,you'll see the flaws. No country is perfect. Yeah, I can list to you (Meruchan) many many things that I dislike about this country and you'll be surprised how many things I actually hate. And mind you I've only been here for 3.5 months. After 3.5 years I might just wish I never studied here  I'm not saying this to scare you but if you're coming here because you dislike Malaysia (and you're causing your parents a big burden), then don't bother. Having said that, I also dislike Malaysia and I think I gave my parents quite a big burden but I came here because I have a goal, to study in the best engineering school in Australia (which is UNSW). And I have done that.  Then I discovered that ... NOTHING IS BEST.

QUOTE(limeuu @ Nov 5 2008, 08:53 AM) i am fully aware of the fees, and increments in oz........no 3rd person perspective here...... yes, you are cash cows, have been since the aussie gov liberalised education as a commodity, and restrict funding for their unis some 15 years ago..........education is a commodity.....they will squeeze every drop from you.......as long as there is a willing buyer........ when you enrolled, the fees are clearly spelled out, and the increments of 5-10% annually also clearly stated......supposed to cover inflation.......nobody puts a gun on your head to go study there..........you think the place, their education quality, whatever, sucks.........leave.........  Well you can't just enter and leave as you please unless you're an extremely rich person. For making the wrong decisions we have to endure the rest of our uni life here (probably). But in the end, it still depends on whether you regret making this decision or not. And I'm certainly have not regretted a day since I reached Australia despite all the imperfect things.

QUOTE(yongyc @ Nov 7 2008, 05:13 PM) b3ta - May I know why it may be difficult in adjusting? Is it because newcastle is a "no-life" or "not so happening" town or is it the university environment?. Actually I prefer to study in the "not so happening" environment. That is the reason why I avoided applying for universities in Melbourne. Even though I am from Kuala Lumpur, I have never got use to going out for the nightlife and the clubbing thingy although I do sometimes hang-out with my college mates. Parents will say I am a good boy while some may say I am a boring kid. Difficult adjusting in terms of the ever changing weather, Aussie slangs, Aussie looks, different types of looks in an area, and many many more. Meh, I still hate the winter. This house is made of bricks and it's freaking cold even now. While outside it's 28', it feels like 23' in here.
