I think she's not a dude. Anyway, just use the end-date of your course. Or a few days later. It's stated somewhere, that Australia usually extends your VISA period for 2 or 3 months after you complete your course, so that you can Cuti-Cuti Australia abit, I assume.

Yeah, my friend said she got a revised offer but refused to tell me what it was coz she "no mood". Doesn't sound too wonderful.
What's revised offer? =/ Got any questions, call Ms. June herself. Directly. Better yet, go speak to her in person.

I deal a LOT with Monash through emails.
Each time there is a tight dateline for something, and I can't possibly courier them the stuff they requre, I will email them saying that i will scan and fax/email a copy over, then send the original over when I have the time. They always reply immediately and are very understanding.
Most of the things are not set in stone, unlike here, all the civil servants follow orders damn straight. Superior say must do like that means do like that, cannot bend to accomodate different situations. Just send them an email with properly written English and everything can be solved.

Hes talking about the $49 one i think.
You got me all wrong, lol.
I was saying, if you take the 2gb package, you won't cut it/make it/it will not be enough! Video calls take a LOT of your limit out. But my friend has to get the unlimited plan, since he has a gf who needs to see him, and him, her.

SAM and AusMat is like the same thing. Both are recognised all over Australia, and even all over the world too. Its just 2 different programmes. Its a business strategy thingie imo.
And also, yeah, SAM is probably the easiest Pre-u around. When I compared my A Level math with SAM's specialist math, w00t. Hell of a difference. Like SAM's spec math only covered half of what we covered. SAM won't kill you.

Its 100ml of seperate bottles/containers if its in hand luggage. And you have to get an approved clear plastic bottle/container, and let them have a look at your 100ml of liquid.

Monash recently sent me an invoice for the school fees together with OSHC monay. I've paid it. Now, I'm trying to enrol online, but I do not know my OSHC number/start date and end date. I only know the OSHC provider. Anyone know where I can check? Thanks

I don't have my OHSC policy number :S
I guess I just can't enrol online until I attend the orientation. Even though I'm a year 2 continuing student. Darn.

Exchanging cash really mafan man.
There are soooo little money changers in my hometown. I can only find like 2. And 1 of them is Tesco, but the rates are hyper crazy. $1 = RM2.49
I traded in Penang airport at 2.435 in the end. I bet in kl business district got much lower rates. What to do, bank all don have Currency.
