Thanks for all ur help. So do I write it down, or just type it out? What do I have to include in the itemised list (my name/IC number/passport number etc.. )?
*
Hey!
from my experience, the "guard" at the door will ask if u have ur itemised lists done. if u have not, he will give u 2 "itemised list form" to fill up.
u can either type or write it down. =]

The form that the guard gives has the following:
Name, date, passport number, I/C and signature.
of cause there is no harm writting in more personal details. =]

oh okay thanks. How long would I need to wait to collect the stuff? Like instant  or do I have to take a number and wait?
*
U'll just have to present ur receipt to the guard at door, take ur seat and wait for the officer to call up your name. usually visa collection wont take much time. =]
Good luck!

hey guys, I have excess baggage ! I wanna send my excess baggage back to the UK from KL. any recommendation on good companies?
*
hey there. how heavy is ur excess baggage? if its only 1-2 kg, u can still check in ur cabin luggage or just hand carry them. or u can always bribe the officer at the counter, like what i did. =P

i also sent my parcel using PosMalaysia. u can either choose by ship (3 months), by airplane (a month) or Poslaju (a week). =]

i would like to ask if i plan to study in manchester and take up part time work around 10-12 hours a week,could i afford my living cost in manchester?
*
Hi! i'm currently studying in manchester. =)
well, as someone calculated before, you'll roughly get ~70pounds per week, that's IF you work maximum 12 hours. honestly, that wont even cover your accommodation if you plan to stay in uni accommodations. The cheapest uni accommodation for 09/10 is 80+ pounds per week. and thats very VERY far from campus. tho u can still look out for cheap private accommodation. but, if just for your cost of living ONLY, that will do. meaning you will cook your meals and probably only eat out once per week.

hmmm. but its kinda hard to get a part time job here. =( you can still try your luck. =D

do we need to submit documents to university through UCAS?if not,how they know my qualifications met their requirement just through UCAS?Can we simply fill in fake qualification/information when applying through ucas?
*
i assume u are doing UK board A level? if yes, then UCAS will get ur result directly from your A-level board of qualification.
however, if you are not, it is always safer to send ur certified true copy of result to the universities that u applied to. Or u can check with ur board of qualification if they will send the result to UCAS for you.

THOU SHALL NEVER NEVER provide fake information. =)
