Hi JP, Im moving from singapore to sydney by end of this month, and have gotten few quotations, one of it from Relocasia.

if you don't apply for PR, then you may be eligible for LAFH (living away from home) allowance where your costs associated with rent and food are deducted from the calculation of your taxable income. this will increase your take home income significantly (i.e. approx 20K a year). you may encounter ...

It all looks good but there is a down side. Most Australian employers will not hire you because you don't have 'local' experience. Those Seek.com.au ads are not always real. Its a recruiters gimmick, trying to get you to sign up with their recruitment agency to bump up their numbers. An Indian frien...

Buses are not that buggy friendly. Some of the older ones have a few steps you have to climb and have narrow entrances, so have to fold your stroller. I used to have a bugaboo but had to change to a light umbrella stroller. So if you have a large buggy, may look into getting something light and easy...

Did you lodge an 'Overseas Notification Form' with the AEC when you left Australia? If you have, then you don't need to vote but you may vote if you want to.
I think you can still try and submit one now and get your name off the electoral roll.

doxycycline.. like minocycline and tetracycline. Same family of antibiotics. You can't take it for too long as your body will build an immunity to it.

Actually i was accused of shill bidding on ebay once. I was banned for 3months. It was strange as i don't know how they did their investigation as I don't even know that potential buyer. She (assumed it was she as i was listing female clothing/shoes) was banned as well.

I know most of my friends do their CFA, after their CA/CPAs & MBAs.

No. I haven't.

Hi
My 5yr old recently started taking violin classes there. The teacher (not a Westerner, i think Vietnamese) is very patient and good with kids.

Thanks QRM.

Yes, no problems.

Hi

Anyone used Orient Express Forwarding or Relocasia before?? Thanks

Humm.. not sure about Crown. I got a quote from them and also abit of a shock, price was nearly triple than the quotes that i got from other large removalists (based on the same inventory list).

Hi all Just a question, hopefully someone out there can help me. I want to travel to KL with my maid and children to meet up with husband who is already in KL. I am a DP holder and the maid’s work permit lists my husband as the employer, am I going to encounter any problems at the airport? This is m...

Yes, i did. I went to my local family doctor. The system is abit different in Australia. The ob&gyn will only see pregnancies over 12 weeks and with referral by a family doctor.
