    getting an auzzie PR

    I'm sorry but you don't have to be a dick in your responses to people whose information may not be of the most current. in all honesty, go find a migration agent/lawyer. asking questions like this on the forum would lead to varying levels of advice, owing to how policy is changed by DIAC (or...

    wait. what? by that logic, many of my friends from Europe would not be facing the problem of IELTS then!

    Man Utd-The Legacy continues: 18 n still counting! Unlike some stopped @ 18!

    Michael Owen missed an absolute sitter on Sunday. when Ferguson fielded questions from the reporter about the miss, his response was (insert thick scottish accent) "I got him for free, whatdoya expect" but by that logic, Berbatov should be banging in the goals. oh...

    Ash from Neighbour's Cigarette gets in my room.. How?

    hate will be too strong a word. disagree maybe. I think it's okay to take such a point of view if you have nothing significant to lose from doing so. but, and this is a big hypothetical but... imagine you just became a father to a pair of twins (I'm assuming you're a male! if not, then a...

    getting an auzzie PR

    my experience with PR only really started at around 2005, and even then I was already hearing cases of Singaporean friends having to take their IELTS to get their PR. it's no big loss if you're doing it outside Australia, namely because there isn't a high demand for it. but I know that when I...

    Anybody shooting perseid meteor showers?

    I was told that it'd be 4am Aussie Eastern Time, so it should be 2am in Singapore. although the news did say that it will be the most "intense" at 4am... so I guess it's a plus/minus thing.

    where can I get nice hair cuts?

    from experince, I will never let a XMM cut my hair. the last time that happen, my hair was cut so badly, that the teacher/mentor had to come rescue it after my hair was already blown dry. PS. the definition of rescue was to cut it even shorter than what I wanted. not like I care (I've...

    it is now. or maybe it has always been... not sure. but as far as I know, unless you come from one of the home countries (England, Canada, USA), you need IELTS to prove your English competency. and let's admit it. as an ex British colony, you would think we'd have some concessions for...

    on unregistered warranty

    no idea. they just told me they omitted it for, and I quote them loosely, warranty purposes. I kinda got it after I noticed that they didn't date my warranty cards as well.

    yeah the Skilled Occupations List or SOL. Form 1128i I think. the problem is they are doing it offshore. which can be quite a pain in the ass to do, simply because of the delay in information turn around. but the original poster said he's coming in as an engineer, and a quick glance on the...
