QUT is worst??hmmm been it's almost 2 months... i already booked my plane ticket..lulzzz
Which university are you applying in Queensland? you can call idp once a week and ask them when will I be able to know the answer from the university. Did you do your IELTS? Just in case they need it. Last time, I called them twice a week and finally they call me before chinese new year. Unfortunately, I do not have my IELTS result and I am not able to enroll in Feb intake. Then, I realized I should do my IELTS while waiting for the response if idp did tell me earlier. No worries. That's fast, you have booked your air ticket....
they had one last month. couldn't make it as it would have clashed with one of my lectures. i believe the guy who runs the seminar is the director of http://visalawyers.com.au/ . thing is, he's based in NSW.
Yeah, last month they had one but tomorrow. there is another one at Building 8, Room 139. Also, they have one hour advice session. Yes, he based in NSW. You really didn't receive it!!

As a record, sometimes you need it because if you find out your recent payment is overcharge or they say you didn't pay for the previous payment. When you call them, they will insist you to have a receipt as a proof that you have pay for the previous payment. I had this experience that I had paid for the previous payment but they still charge me not paying the previous bill. I was like, #$%&$#$ I called and tell them we paid! They said " if you do not have a receipt to proof that you have pay, you still have to pay it what it stated in the payment bill". I was like @#$%. not cheap la..

bris is very nice! we have citycat as one of the transportation travel to university. an hour drive to gold coast and sunshine coast. free cultural dance lesson on every weekend. we have sizzler restaurant. aus5 for a movie ticket on weekdays. etc!
which cinema charges 5 bucks? cheapest i've been around to is the Cineplex in Southbank. and i think they've just increased the prices if i'm not mistaken
Yeah, cineplex in southbank charges aus5 in day time before 5pm. If you watch in the night or weekend, they charge aus5.70.
Is it easy to find a part time job (waiter or food serving) in Brisbane? And how will the wages be like?
I'm asking this because i maybe studying in UQ very soon.
I won't say it's easy to look for a part time job here. the wages for food and beverage is aus17-aus22 per hour if you work with mat salleh. I have some friends get aus11 per hour.
Well, maybe we have to take the initiative to talk to them... I don't think all of them mind mixing with us.. As i'm going to Queensland University very soon, i too feel worried about mixing with people there.. I certainly hope can mix well with them because it would be meaningless to study there if i'm still always together with the M'sians.
Is it true that getting the X-ray report from the hospital is slower than going to the private clinic ? X-ray report from the hospital takes how long to be examined ?
you can cook on weekdays; n weekend have a day out or having meals in friends place together You are rich wert.. how to spare you penny? hahahaha; yea..cooking with gf is fun =P CAL... fishing? cook them?
Well, near my university there is a river. our friends came from Melbourne and decided to chill there. Besides chilling, we caught some fishy and cook it!I tried it several times, though it's boring.
