Yeah the money here is really good. Hopefully can pay off my house in Malaysia before I have to leave Australia.

Why is it so hard for you to get PR? I thought it would be easier for you because you studied in Aus.

I got 8, 8, 8, 7.5 for academic IELTS
So I applied for TR instead, now on bridging. So near yet so far aih ...

So you working in BHP Mitsubishi now? I think my ex-colleague joined this company also and she said she is being paid 6 figures salary.

I can offer you opportunity also in the future. haha

Anyway I have passed my IELTS and doing my skills test now. If I pass that one, I will apply for state sponsorship in SA.

Who is eligible to apply for this TR visa? I am under visa 457 at the moment and have 4 more years to go. I might want to try this visa if I failed to get my PR by then.

Those who fulfill all the criteria for applying PR but fail to get enough points can go for TR.
Then you have 1.5 years to use whatever means to get the missing points.

Not with BMA. Their fatigue management like shit, safety isn't close to Xstrata and Rio and they make you work like dog + keja bodoh like doing homework. But a recommendation letter from them is good enough. 6 figure salary in the industry is pretty standard man. Getting 6 figures and doing 7 hours with no fieldwork, now that'special

I just got dumped on a project to build a power plant multi stage water filtration unit with a team of 5 and a note saying "It's yours, don't f*** it up". Great opportunity or shine or f*** up. Great eh?

i remembered when i was so gan cheong with my PR.
managed to get an agent to submit and all 2 days before deadline.
phew!
got it in 4 months somewhere in may..

all the best to all of u!



just wanna ask... i have driving license from malaysia but in malay.
anyway to translate or such so that i dont have to take one from vic roads?

im in melbourne and goin back in january..so if can do something in msia .might as well

Hi everyone! If anyone is going to Brisbane to study, I have a room up for rent. Please PM me for more details if you are interested. The house is located in Indooroopilly and is a 15min bus ride to uni and next to big shopping centre.

just wondering can i bring 4liter of box wine back to malaysia?

Check malaysia duty free limitations....1.5L i think?

is 1l but if i remember correctly, i brought 2l of wine before.. but i heard that wine is not that strict compare to liquor/whisky.
so i just want to make sure here

considering how slack malaysian customs is.....you could try it out haha....i once went through with 5 bottles of wine

i have full driving license in malaysia.. anyway to translate or something so i dont have to resit the whole thing in melbourne?

I'm not sure if it's the same for all states, so please refer to the official website for more details. If you want to get a full licence in Australia, you'll have to pass both the theory and practical test. I don't think you can drive legally with just translation of your licence. For me, I had to translate my licence and show 100 points ID, sit for theory test and practical test. You don't really have to accumulate certain driving hours (unlike those who haven't gotten full licence before), as long as you pass the test, you get Australian full driving licence. Mind you, it's not easy to pass the driving test as it is much stricter in Australia so you probably need a few lessons getting used to 'proper' driving. My friend gave up after trying for a few times.
