Best way to make TT is to use a pot and do it with tea powder and milk. Preferbly cheap indian tea. Bestttt...

1) cook until slightly light and bubly
2) filter out the tea powder and squeeze it in the filter until the color is right
3) tarik if you like
4) add sugar

LOL.

I've never even had teh tarik before.

Cheap no-name one you find at indian shop oso cukup. It's usually a mixture of left over teas.

Milk use full cream. Norco, Dairy Farmers, Devondale, Cap Cocos, up to you.

wher to get good asian mens haircut around $15 to $30 in perth? Good haircuts !!
and please dun tell me go north bridge etc-etc, i need names !!

u got wat, PR? lol

HAHA they dont do it in person anymore? good luck. it'll probably take 4 months for the whole process now
generally haircuts cost $20 in syd.

and that's just your normal salon

u get taxed 35cents out of every $ u make plus 5k a year

at least the higher tax u pay to the government is efficiently in use for proper comunity upgrading and services. you can notice things changing and u can enjoy the benefits. where does all your tax go in msia?

o sry it's only 30% + 4k+ for 60k earners.

not including super btw

ok the govt efficiency shite again. me and empire keep giving shit to the govt every few pages but it seems no one reads.

australia is still largely backwater with shitty infrastructure coverage and internet infrastructure for the amount of tax it charges. it all goes to hobos living off centrelink.

EPF. u may choose to contribute or not. generally u get taxed less if u contribute but u know its still money out your pocket every month until ur old

ok look at the points test system

the page u posted was the general work and study requirement. since that does not apply for the 176 visa, it is moot.

i got mamak stall open till 4 am here ey 

Cars are really cheapp!

Well you earn so much, you pay that much. but in the end, the aussie dollar is strong. and it enables you to afford to travel around.

social security? i guess so. but that's also debatable. u get some seriously crazy crimes regularly. drive-bys, murders, stabbings. stabbings are so common its not even funny.
it depends. it's generally safer but u still wont want to be at some places at night.

australia have a minimum wage rule. and labours get compensated pretty well. I think that's fair.
I earn 17$ as a waitress. How much could i have earned in msia as a wait staff? . so yeah it's pretty much the same thing. u earn lesser in msia u spend lesser. U earn a bit more here u spend a bit more. but the aussie dollar is much stronger than msia RM. so generally going back to msia is like heaven. and i feel like i'm a million bucks.

oh i dont know bout that. as i am also currently working on my PR.
but what i heard is that, the interest is pretty low.

but i do know that you get a 10k 1st home buyer grant when you purchase your 1st house in Aussie.

well for the place that i work at.. i can work any amount of days i want in a week. we have to write down our availabilities every week. and my boss would do the roster. and if i am going for a vacation, i'd just have to let her know.

I work about  20-30 hours / few days a week. pretty laid back. have plenty of time on my hands. and still save enough to get a car in a few months and to go around malaysia, singapore and indonesia.

if you are a full time waitress in a nice well known franchised restaurant, you could prolly earn around 20$ per hour. if you work like 40 hours a week, so you get $700 a week give or take minus tax. ?? i am not sure. i'm just a part time.

as for owning a house to yourself without sharing with anyone. i guess it is possible but it would take a much longer time than professionals. and you would be more restricted. might not even save much or save at all. depending if you're single or married. it's really hard to say. and it realy depends on the individual.

but you can always buy the house. pay the mortage and rent some rooms to people or even friends. that will definitely help out a lot. and if you have a spouse, he/she can always help out. like paying 50 50.
my bro's gonna get married in 2 years. so i better save all my pennies for that rainy day! hopefully, i could save enough to get a house by then!
