QUOTE(lunarcry @ Jan 16 2009, 08:29 AM) I'm sorry if this question has been posted before. I'll be flying to Perth via air asia this sunday. From what i understand from their website, they charge rm 15 for every kg in excess of the 25kg i have bought during booking (i intend to get an extra 15kg if that is true). Did i get my facts right? And does anyone know what is the maximum baggage allowance? I tried calling airasia numerous times but their lines are always busy. Personally, what are you carrying to Australia? Sometimes certain stuff can be bought there even cheaper when compared to back here.

QUOTE(RBR @ Jan 22 2009, 03:54 AM) In most states, you can convert your Malaysian licence to a full Australian licence. However, you must still sit for the theory and practical test (no need to go through P-plates). But if you do that, they will punch a hole in your Malaysian licence to invalidate it. I have a hole in mine and I am wondering how I explain to JPJ when I want to renew that eventually  The WA DPI didn't punch a hole in mine though... neither did they punch for Singaporeans' ... so effectively I have two driving licences, Malaysian and Australian. .

I can assist you on licences, but only for WA as apparently there are varying standards among the states

QUOTE(limeuu @ Feb 10 2009, 12:42 PM) those who need to pay fees, hope you all caught it at the lows just before the rate cuts.....missed it and now it's rebounded to another peak...... The interesting part about rate cuts is that it generally causes the exchange rate to fall, not rise. This is due to the fact that the dollar becomes less 'enticing' as it was when interest rates were higher, this was reflected quite well over the past few months which is why I am wondering why its rising AFTER a rate cut

QUOTE(Grimm @ Feb 12 2009, 02:02 AM) I've got 1 pack of 5 maggi. 1 pack of milo 3 in 1. 1 pack of Chipsmore. 2 bottles of vitamins and 1 strip of panadol. But even with these, my friend said the bleeding customs might take 1 hour to go through. I've put them all in 1 suitcase to ease their search. Hope I won't be unlucky! Early in the morning I'll be reaching. Don't be in a foul mood. Please. @_@ What for bring in such stuff? Causes you more pain in waiting and I believe all three are liable to be confiscated anyway, so you waste your time for nothing

QUOTE(hihihehe @ Apr 2 2009, 10:05 AM) qantas got offer to malaysia? i check on9 but dun have destination to malaysia Qantas stopped flying to Malaysia about a decade or so ago. You'll have to take another airline, preferably not a low cost airline to a destination that has connectivity with Qantas, which means, Bangkok BKK, Singapore Changi SIN. You buy the two tickets seperately and when you reach Bangkok or Singapore, go to the transfer counter and get your Qantas ticket.

QUOTE(Grimm @ Nov 27 2009, 08:26 PM) Hey mates. I'm back in Msia from Australia. Problem is, My Samsung F480 can't be used coz its from "3" and so... how do i deal with it? Friends said call or go to "3" and unlock it before getting back to Msia. Yeah. Thats a big help. Doh, I'm already BACK! So, they said go to "3"s website which I did, but theres nothing about phone unlocking. Any experts in this area? I really need that phone, I got no other phone here.' Thanks heaps mate. Only way I can think of is to call 3 customer service on +61 133 320. Just call that from a malaysian line and see if it connects to 3 care and then you can ask them for the instructions and/or unlock code.
