You want part time job the best is Chinese Restaurants if you don't have any experience. Everything else they want experience. Chinese Restaurants will underpay you, but they pay cash so no tax, and that means you can work more than 20hours a week too(if you're international student). Don't neglect your studies though, restaurant work's very tiring you won't have energy left to study if you work too much.

hey guys, posting this on behalf of my friend. hope you guys at sydney can help out. thanks! much apreciated

"Desperate Need To Recover Important Items Left In A Taxi Combine Cab in Sydney.

On the morning of 27 January 2009, my family and I (comprising my parents, another sister and brother and I) arrived into Sydney from Kuala Lumpur. We, the children, were going to start school within the next 2 days. At about 11.00 am we took a Tarago cab (one of those with facility for wheel chair) with Taxis Combine painted on the cab body from the Sydney airport to Distillery Drive in Pyrmont where we live. We cannot remember the taxi number nor did we take note of the driver's name. During the journey, from my father’s conversation with the cab driver, we know him to be of Pakistani origin. He studied engineering in his young days and has lived in Sydney for 21 years. He has been driving a cab for the last 16 years and he lives in Bankstown. He has 5 children and seems quite proud that another is on the way. In appearance, he is heavily bearded, looks about 50 years old or so and is fairly well built.

On arrival and after my father helped the driver to unload our bags from the Tarago cab’s boot, he forgot to retrieve his hand carry bag from the floor of the cab’s passenger seat. In his bag are his and my brother’s Malaysian passports, 5 air tickets, my father’s computer external hard disk, some books, some blank cheques and about A$4000 in Japanese Yen and Singapore dollars

My father tried calling the "Lost Property" service of Taxi Combine and my mum has been calling that service several times too but until now the service has not heard from that cab driver. My father is in desperate need to recover his external hard disk which has all our family’s personal records covering a period of over 20 years. Some of the records are very important to him and to us as school going children. However the information in the external hard disk even if accessed by whoever found his bag is of no use to that person. But to my father and his children the information is important. And my father and brother need to get back their passports too.

My father has asked me to post this on Facebook in the event that the person who found his bag also uses Facebook. My father would be most grateful to this person if he would be so kind as to return him his computer external disk and the passports. And he will also reward the finder for this act of kindness. My father is only interested in recovering the external hard disk and passports and no question will be asked. Alternatively, my father would like to get in touch with the cab driver to help him find his bag.

If you are the finder and are reading this posting for help, please email my father at datoypk1@yahoo.com and list 5 personal folders from his hard disk to him as proof and he will make contact with you by giving you his mobile number.

Thank you."

pm me or email the above if you can help, thanks!

report to NSW police; it would be helpful to direct identification with the cabbie at that place. Contacting associates not going to help much.

Even if it does ... It's not easy for one . The campus is big and a lot of students . Not only you will apply for it ... Maybe a few hundreds or thousands will apply for it . The best one will get the offer .

Seems like Engineer is struggling now .


For music class in school now ... What do they normally teach ? History of music ? Theory or practical ? More to classical right ? Or some schools can even learn to be like a rock star ?
