i am going to do my post-grad ... and i am going to pay it all myself!!! i didnt actually study overseas but i was working instead... and now i fell in love with the place n some of the girls... so i am going back to study

was studying in monash.. now going to univeristy of alaska, anchorage campus... i bet no1 knows where this place is..... lol

asian americans... whites are pretty too, but they are too 'screwed' up

hehehe let's keep the casual talk out shall we

i should have done my bachelors in the states rather then in monash... zzz

ermm.. it is not that monash is bad, but the experience is diff.. monash you are paying more because you have proper facilities and staff but you cant buy environment..

lets say i study 1+4 years at monash for my engineering program and compared to 2+2 years ADP... i think ADP would be around the same price, and best of all in the states you can afford to work part time when you study unlike here back in msia

if you study business then it might be a little wasted... because most business students can't secure OPT after graduation... but if that's not your motive then its fine

well, just like any presentation, u will be suprise how inferior kuai lows are.

giv u a tip... take adp... 2+2... for the 2 years in msia.. every year sem break go work in the US under work n travel... u can earn around 10k usd per year.. should have 20k usd during ur 3rd year... with ur parents $$$ n 20k usd.. should be able to get visa

when u r there, study hard like crap n work part time... should be able to make it through

yeaps.. that's the one... 2 times, going for the 3rd time this coming tuesday

-current record is 16kusd/4months... my record is 13kusd/4months
-can participate as many times as u want as long u are a student
-well, life is a calculated risk, soemtimes u will think about the road not taken but that's life right? just sharing with u my experience
-of course can enjoy... why not? hehhehee... u will know once u r in ^^

yeaps.. 3rd time.. next tuesday lor.. my last time.. because i will be going for my convo already in sept..

err... very easy... interview is easy no test... dunnit tips 1 ler.. lol

ermm.. during summer n winter.. dates is up to u

no lar.. 1st year i got 3k usd only.. 2nd time got 13k.. total 16k.. this time hope to get 13k again.. 29k.. enough for my masters tuition fee ^^ yahoo!

can work can play can travel.. so nice

tq tq ^^ it is 0 celcius there now.. hope i can take it XD

err.. u wanna stay inside my luggage bag?

ermm.. not the employment interview but the embassy visa interview... if they think u cant converse properly then they might not issue u a visa.. but that's very rare... a little english will do

i left it in my us bank acc... i made total 12k wage + 3k tips.. after tax n expenses i made 13k usd ^^

ermm.. if u r studying the most u can make is 800usd.. but if u work like me 12 hours 6 days.. u will be able to make like 3k a month.. my friend works like crazy makes 4.5k.. sometimes we dont really work but just stay at the work place n get paid.. lol

we get tax.. from my 12k wage i got tax 1.1k.... so that means i take back 10.1k... but when i claim my tax back i claim 1.4k back.. lol.. what a joke.. please dont tell IRS, as i claim as a resident.. ahhahaa.. some ppl even worse claim their tax + 700usd.. lol.. instead of paying tax they pay u back with even more $$$

the agency i went with does provide jobs for students in NZ... but the job isnt too attractive.. more of working in farms milking cows n picking orange... i rather work in starbucks where i can just laze around...

my father studied in NZ, and i definately want to go there with him after my studies... very beautiful there

the place i am going to is also beautiful ^^

if u study in cheaper local uni u can even settle ur tuition fees without even needing ur parents to pay for ya ^^

massy university ... studied food science

yea.. but if u claim in the in tax refund form as a resident.. you will get an extra 300usd on top of the full tax refund.. some states even more at 700... isnt that great

ermm.. no really waiter.... barista XD

at my place there's no spring or autumn... it is winter or summer.. n the summer it colder than most places' winter.. lol

no lor.. if u fill in a msian address u wont get d extra 300, u must put a US address

now lor... 23 hours day.. lol.. gila how 2 sleep

errr.. i dont like it also... but msia too hot lar.. on air cond waste $$$, there cold wear thicker only.. free somemore

i m msian lar... with all d msian bad habits ^^

errr... they are more advance? no leh.. eastern country also not too bad

max is 20 hours, depends on ur wage lor... lowest i think is 7usd/hour... highest so far is 45usd/hour... estimate u can earn around 800usd, which is enough to cover lodging n food... expenses around 1kusd... nope, shouldnt affect much

i think 100 k/year is an realistic amount for fees + living.

i think you should be able to cover based on that calculation. during summer i think you can work full time outside not just 40h/w if u had at least 9months of classes. u will be given j-1 visa i think. if you dont have enough 9 months, you will be able to work full time, but in campus only.

yea.. adp dont have long breaks, but to differ 1 sem is all worth it. u differ one time during ur 1st year, and while waiting to enter US you can go for a 2nd time.
-no they dont sponsor, it is around 3-5k for a return ticket. but you should still be able to make lots of $$$.
-i am from monash, so we have long summer breaks.. lol
-yes, if you're malaysians. foreign students need to at least study 2 years in msia

just glad to help ^^ i had to take the hard path through life and i hope you young ones out there dont have to suffer like i do and miss out all the good things in life ^^

lol.. a lot of nottingham students go for the program in fact nott is the main source of participants... 60% of the students from msia that goes on W&T is from nott... ask students there, they all know about the program.

yes u can, dont wry. just email this lady called vernie my.enquiry@speedwing.org ... tell her charles introduced u and u need VIP service ^^ she will give u all d info

passport better apply now, u will need it eventually even if you are not going to W&T, err... i dunno lor.. passport either 3 days or 3 months

slowly ler.. u email her 1st, she will give u all d info XD

ermm.. work for hmshost.. alot depends on luck also.. some places are for adventure/leisure.. some are for making $$$..

no lor, the best if of course 4 months if you wanna make $$$$, 2 months i dont think enough to break even

depends on the employer, some do some dont.. usually dont will pay more.. accomodation is not worth it, only meals... it depends on location..

18? u must at least be on college, yea.. 18 is the minimum age.. dont wry, it is not a scam.. once you are in nott, you will 100% get to know the program... every year there's at least 80-120 students from nott goes for this program.

1) thanks.. just trying to go through life...hope this can help u guys better ^^
2) yea.. but my story is a bit diff... i did monash, 1st time was during my 2nd year... 2nd time was after my 4th years.. now is the last time bfore my convo in sept...

the strategy u wrote is the best option, but at D) after graduation, do 3 years OPT (by working 3 years u should have gotten tonnes of $$$$), then do your masters and do another 3 years OPT... by then i think u will have at least 1/2 million ringgit, and should be able to return proud or u can opt to apply for greencard/h1b

lol.. when kids are spoiled, they end up like that... a lot of 2nd gen asian american kids are like that... they parents struggle to get a US greencard through legal/illegal means from before.. and allow their kids to be citizens, but their kids grew up to be like real american kids... see sometimes also wanna slap

no prob ^^ later rmb give good rating ok

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optional_Practical_Training

errr... wiki can give better answer than me XD

handphone they use 850 wor... i dont think can work properly.. my k750 800/900/1800 also cacat a bit 1...

laptop buy msia lar...

nervous what...zzzz... going to study only what

ppl choose canada coz easier to get pr i guess

cali uni system have 3 parts.... UCs , CSUs and CC.... UC is d most elite among d other... CSU is affordable... CC is to jump into UCs n CSUs easier

i think i might hop to canada too... easier to find life partner there

gsm frequencies.... ours phones are 800/900/1800 for triband... they use 850... a bit out..sometimes network got prob

buy in msia lar.. make sure got international warranty can d

ur 1st time maybe scared ler..

errr... just take IB, it is highly recognized there... or u can just simply sit for SAT and score high...

if any1 plans to go us i would recommend UC... go for some not so famous ones and then transfer later...

no ler.. msia cheaper because they throw in stuff like mouse, bag, thumbdrive etc etc... us u only get d laptop n charger in a box

canada asians are more spread out... in US asians are only in certain places.. canada less racist XD

as for guns and weapons... i lived in the ghettos of LA inglewood.. pasadena & chinatown... no body dares touch me... lol...blacks are less friendly but that's they way it is... white r ok ok.. latins n asians r d friendliest...

in ancohrage now... every1 is friendly... guns is allowed... my neighbour gave me his rifle d other day... but took it back when i said i m going to walmart to buy ammo... lol
