melb weather is not that cold until require gloves.
i survived the whole year with just a jumper (even in winter).
i use the winter jacket i bought as an extra blanket( i lazy wan go buy a comforter or thicker blanket/ i'm stingy).

it doesn't really matter how many hand carry you're bringing. just the weight of it.
why not stuffed some of the heavier things into the laptop bag? they don't check its weight from my experience. but u cant put much things into it thou

if u lik dessert house, u must try rose garden... their spicy salt chicken is the best..i'm not sure in the menu is written as what but in cantonese we call it "ciu yim kai pah fan"... it will blow your mind.. haha.. try stalactites too..

nope..i'll be arriving there on the 27th feb..
i might apply for the mid year one thou..
heard from my frens there alot of goodies given to helpers..lol

u can but u'll have to pay the extra 0.4 years although u are not using it.
y not get prepaid?

icic..
but if you are not the kind that calls/sms alot prepaid would save u more money..
since you are planning to get an iphone then different case d lo

if i'm not wrong, 10k isn't the limit.. you just have to declare if you are bringing over 10k...

icic... thx for the correction

i'm using the one with 10gb(on/off peak)..cant remember the speed...its the one that cost 49.90 dollars
quite fast. just an extra 10 dollars a month i think its worth it

I would say depends on which marker your paper land on.
depending on your subject, the amount of assignment vary from one another.
unimelb use percentage. the grading:
H1=80-100
H2A=75-79
H2B=70-74
H3=65-69(if i'm not wrong)
pass=50-64
depending on the subject, you might be required to pass the final exam to pass the subject in a whole.

you must also consider that unimelb practice scaling in grading their students.
I wouldnt comment on how scaling is practiced. I assume that you know.

lol.
by fixing the typo, nothing else needed to be said anymore.

you are allowed to bring one laptop so there's no weight issue there.
i would say get it in malaysia as you can get better deals in lowyat.

Do you really need a new phone? how long are you going to stay here? if it's just a year, get one from malaysia as buying phone outright here is quite expensive.(except for iphone which i think is quite similar if not cheaper in pricing)

@hihihehe, i'm not sure how RMIT charge their students but in unimelb they charge base on your subject

haha...1 subject? unless it's the only subject required for you to graduate and for a good reason, i dont think they'll let you take one subject per semester. Do they??
but i'm pretty sure they charge you base on the number of subject and what subject it is.
Do update it here when you get a confirmation, i'm pretty interested to know.

you know the vietnamese(i guess) asian grocery just beside vic mart that one?
i !!!!!THINK!!!!! i saw it there before.

huh? why are you so happy that there is a lot of chinese here?
anyway, i can help ask around my malay friends but most of them are already settled in their place.
@hihihehe, make some for me ya if you are making kaya..

what??? that one???
taste quite bad actually
my friends work there, so i thought ok la give face go try but turn out to be below average...hahaha
that's like a year ago so maybe it taste better now,i don't know.

there is pretty much nothing you can do.
it is a contract.
i suggest you find a friend that are willing to take over the remaining months of the contract

just transfer the account to your friend. the account will be under his name and change the billing account to his if he decide to pay using direct debit.
if he want to keep his current number, just request for his current number to be ported into the account and erase the old one. it would take a few days and no fees charged. This is according to 3 mobile sales person i talked to. i think it'll be the same with optus, telstra etc.

ya its called cooldown period. so saigo you can try return the phone and cancel the contract. i'm not encouraging you to lie but ya, desperate times calls for desperate measures.
i'm not sure on this but mayb you can return the phone by just saying you dont like the phone. thats why its called a cooldown period.
