haircut depending on where you have it....usually its between $15-$30 for normal men's haircut with no fancy other stuffs....u can try keeping ur hair...the weather is pretty ok for that (not during summer tho).....

well i dont see the point not getting haircut here its only once every 1.5 months? and besides since ur splashing so much i dont see the prob in getting haircut over here....besides its not too bad lar....like those fancy hairdressers in KL oso quite insanely priced.....rm50? so its not that bad lar.....

if u wanna self cut ok oso....provided u got the tools n ur fren knows how to do it...

and about that spamming thing...yea try to keep it to a low lar...we got a kopitiam thread for those spams but that din work out too well...well i guess a lil banter wouldnt hurt either...coz most of the major stuffs have already been 'pinned' in the 1st page....

At the Surfers PD, he was turned away 3 times, and when i went with him on the forth time, there was a new cop and he said the same thing.

Somemore kena hantam by the AFP lagi. Sheesh.

well i think sometimes its kinda hard to differentiate the dole bludger con dudes and a real victim of assault.....like ive seen those ive lost my wallet cases alot in the streets of melb....like wtf man.....what if i help and turn out to be a druggie or drunkard or a con job? but given that the police is jsut so crappy theres lil wonder why the real victims would rather turn to the public than to the cops....

anyway luckily Vic Police din have tasers....saw thsoe tv stuff cops in other states very taser-generous....like a dude got floored already, held by 3 cops...cant possibly fight back and the cops just jab him with the tasers over n over more than 3 times i think....

The price of buying it there is slightly more expensive.

try hunting for those 2nd hand washing machines and dryers if u wanna get it cheaper...sumtimes u get like 1-2 yr old machines for quite a bargain as the owner's gradding and leaving the country.....

say get one for 200 (may be even cheaper since 2nd hand), share with a couple of housemates (divide by 3) use for 3-4 yrs.....worth it lar...better than go feeding those laundry places....

try search your uni's website.....

Example my brother poked his screen till it cracked. Got a new one in 2 days.
And he keeps complaining the com lagging hang bla bla bla. The tech guy came try to fix failed...few days later he got everything changed but the cover.

Erm. To complete with honours need to take 1 more extra year? hmm.gif

well alot depends on the time u book and the availability...ive never been on Singapore Airlines coz ive never came across cheaper prices from them and besides they dont direct fly to KLIA...so abit of a turnoff.....

had jetstar (syd-kl) before...quite okay....of course smaller legroom, at least they got entertainment....unlike tiger (melb-darwin-singapore) ....small plane, less legroom than jetstar, no entertainment, very bad seats....but u got what u pay for....so nth much to complain here...

If booking in Australia, go through STA travel. They generally have the better prices. A China friend of mine got a flight A$1100, including all taxes, roundtrip BNE-HKG-CTU, back this year. Cheap.

You might be able to snag a better deal by booking at the airlines website directly.
Jetstar's SYD-KUL has gone, but at least they were using Qantas' old 767's, so seat pitch wouldn't have been too bad. Interestingly, it is still possible to fly to KUL with Jetstar: SYD-DRW-SIN-KUL. And you can actually book it as one straight ticket. However, you will be using their A320's. Which were never meant for such long flights.

Not as bad as Tiger Airways through. They have put 180 seats in a plane designed for 140 seats. Anecdotal reviews don't give it much marks. One even said he felt like he was "going to die" on the long journey. Not to mention needing to go through Perth.

Air Asia X now has their new A330-300 through. 383 seats (with a 3-3-3 layout apperently) is going to be tight, especially when their first A330 (9M-XAA) had only 310 seats. At least XAA felt like a normal plane, if from the 70's (no inflight entertaiment whatsoever).

talking about tiger & airasia...when i was boarding tiger's plane from sg to darwin...i was like err isnt this plane for domestic route 1? just like the interstate (melb-syd) plane....abit scared really...sked not able to get to darwin in one piece....and cant really move my feet...

but tiger at least okay coz the journey coz its sorta broken into 2 halves.... altho no entertainment (got cup noodle n some light meals to be purchased)......but for airasiaX....straight 8 hours of no entertainment + tightspots....its abit insane....normal portable video player couldnt last taht long....and average laptop battery life's only 3 hours...so gonna abit susah there.... sweat.gif sweat.gif

hmm issit? it was abit lower during that crazy bailout fiasco some weeks ago....but thanks for the heads up....really hope it will go down more...nod.gif

and i think those open dated ones.....unless its discounted fare....should be ok to change the return date right? discounted fare u know la....cheaper so less benefits.....no free date change, and also no frequent flier points....sweat.gif
