Bachelor of IT.....hmmm....i'm not sure it's on the SOL list. But it depends on what the ACS views your degree as being.

or use a Remaining Relative Onshore Visa.

As for driving, just drive lah, not rocket science and they recognize our lesen.

You'll need to do only 2 things

1) Sit for a written test (50 bucks)
2) Sit for a practical test (87 bucks)

Extra tips
1) Go for at least 2 supervised driving lessons, they teach you the rules and stuff (should be 50 bucks an hour)
2) Always bring your passport and Malaysian license along
3) If you don't have a visa label, a VEVO printout is acceptable

i've been driving with my msian licence for almost 2 years now. the police accepts it.

regarding the rules, it's almost similar to malaysia, just be careful of cameras and hook turns if ur in melb. and stop at zebra crossings.

Around that lah.

Your own car or you can use the driving school's car (remember that your car must be in tip top condition or you fail instantly, all lights must work, speedo must be accurate, wipers must wipe and so on lah)

Supervised lessons are like Malaysia, go to driving school and ask for an hour or two to make sure you know your shit.
I mean, get your brother and sister to sponsor you lorh.

Just use Malaysian license, just don't memalukan us by crashing into an old lady or something. Common sense.

The test can be in either manual or auto, if you take your test with a manual you get a Class C license, if you take the test with an auto, you get a Class CA (Automatic), meaning you can't drive manuals. But really, who gives a shite.

Take the written test today, take the practical test tomorrow. All good.

u can use malaysian license to drive, but u might need to bring IC with u too, coz the cops think the malaysian license is a joke coz its laminated...

No, OFFICIALLY you CANNOT use Malaysian IC or drivers license as an ID, but SOME places accept it (like Crown, but depends on luck la, if security u dealing with knows about Malaysian IC and license or not)... Best to just use Passport or get proof of age card...

Yea u can rent car with Malaysian license... Did that 2 weeks ago actually, took a drive to Port Campbell... No need any details, just license, and they do the rest... oh need credit card too if im not mistaken, or debit card, or some form of payment la... dono if they accept cash or not...

i would say the malaysian IC will work most of the time in crown (or else try another entrance?)

oh oh oh, the notts bar in clayton accepts the malaysian IC (from what i heard)     

hmm... if im not mistaken, think u can apply in Melb Uni, coz some of my friends did that... Its basically a card to show ur 18+, so u dont have to carry ur passport around... Not sure about the procedure tho... think u need copy of passport, copy of COE and whatnot... not sure abt details... but yea, pretty sure u can sign up for it in Melb Uni (u dont have to be Melb Uni student)....

i hate left hook turn, have to wait in the middle of the junction like an idiot. never gonna drive in melb cbd again!  

Anyway, any melby here can guide me here, i'm stopping at Tuma Airport, how can i get to la trobe st from there?

melburnian reporting in!

im scared of hook turn as well :S

no girls la.....everyone is a guy till proven other wise....

u wanna prove ur girl? pics plz!!!   

anyway hook turn okay la....

however heavy the traffic...the car coming from behind will hav to stop on red....the tram has to stop as well....then in that 1 sec before the lights turn green....fai fai pusing ur steering and slam on the accelerator.....

but hav to look at ur mirror 1st....coz some wogs may wanna jump the light.... 

thing with melbourne is, u must look out for cars, pedestrians, trams and cyclists...

malaysia means hantam je...

fellow melburnian students....gudluck for your exam!

try oconnell residence..
unilodge...
brunswick prolly u can get.
southyarra > SHA

if u going for unilodge, not D1 or D2, coz its way too expensive... the others might be cheaper... but i must add that unilodge management isnt very top notch...

and China... god damn... 2 years ago got Chinese friends from China... damn antisocial... always stick in their own group and never mix with others... and always speak to themselves in their own language... during english class also, they sit in their own group not speaking english... no offence la, but u travel to another country for what then?

f*** the weekend + world cup with revision
