@pinoycoder For me, I went to Sydney last year and stayed for 3 weeks. Sydney, expensive sya and crowded. Compare to melbourne, also conside about buying house, mahal sa sydney. I moved my OA account to SA kc mas mataas ung annual interest. I'll be using it to buy house.

pinoycoder

@kittykitkat18 @z3design wow mukhang okay nga sa melbourne, salamat sa insights.

z3design

@prcand , sana nga... work pati chix habol ko.. hehehe. Para nmn Anne Curtis ang anak mo noh. Pang model haha. Ex ko kc ang labo eh, balak nya sa europe so pinabayaan ko sya. Tumatanda na rin tayo kya dapat magmigrate na.... Im reaching my 30s next year.

@z3design pero diba citizen ka na dito, at prepared ka na ba kung baka sakali i-revoke citizenship mo, di pwede dual? nabasa ko kasi, strikto si SG sa mga former citizens, so dapat sure ka na sa gagawin mo. at not sure kung plano mo kunin PH citizenship ule.

kittykitkat18

Bsta khit san bsta may work..ang kaba ko lng sa ngyn eh un mahrapan makahanap ng work si hubby..so far may 10 applications na kme pinasa..and 2 rejection emails na.hehe

z3design

@prcand , denounce na po ung Filipino Citizenship ko. Singapore dont accept dual citizenship. After 4 yrs or makpg asawa ako ng ang moh, paconvert ako AU citizen then denounce ko SG citizen.. kuha ko lahat cpf... oh db may pambayad na sa house. nasa 150K+ n rin un... every year my 7.5k ako na nagegenerate from interest...

Sabi ko nga db, wala ng balikan i2. Talagang nakapagdecision na ako..

z3design

@kittykitkat18 , advise hubby to take or study other courses. Revised nya ung skillset nya dapat unique and konti lng kumuha. For example, kung CCIE sya, makakatulong un makahanap ng work. Inaupgrade ko yung skills ko, pumunta ako sa sydney last year to take my CCIE lab... Ngyon sa IT industry nakapacompetitive, I setup my web and mail server. I've been uploading my notes sa website.

YouOne

@rdorpia maraming salamat po! ill start reading your blog po.. malaking tulong po yan sa mga kagaya namen na nagsisimula palang (sana hindi pa late hehehehehe).

kittykitkat18

@z3design mabigat na yang CCIE..yan ang gusto ni hubby pro naibang path sya sa IT... yan din advise ko kay hubby na magaral and magupgrade ng skills nya sa ngyn hndi kakayanin dhil sa work sched nya for May..2pm until 11pm..more on Microsoft Exchange sya..sbi ko nga magaral at kunin ang Exchange 2013 tpos pagaralan din ang Skype for business..para updated sya sa technologies

rdorpia

@YouOne Sure...goodluck, it's not to late...Keep on pushing it...Do it now or regret later..For sure everyone in PINOYAU is very much willing to help.

kittykitkat18

@YouOne pag may questions ask lng..but of course much better if u read and understand also..then ask us for clarifications

z3design

@kittykitkat18 , uu mahirap and magastos. I remember, ngrerent pa ako ng RACK sa INE.COM. Sobrang hirap and madugo and kain sa oras. Dapat hanap sya ng iba pang technology. Skill set, just to add up. Although VoIP main ko, i do have knowledge and certification sa Exchange. I also have knowledge sa firewall, mainly gingawa ko d2 is setup ng IPSec tunnel with different vendor (Cisco, Sophos, Fortinet, Juniper, Checkpoint). Medyo kapa pa ako sa IPS. I was blessed na nsa IT Solution Provider akong company. Naexpose ako sa lahat ng technology and hardware. Hindi nmn talaga ako IT graduate pero kc VoIP related sya s ECE ko dun ako nagfocus. Panay-integration nga gngwa ko like cisco to asterisk or shortel. Halos dumugo na ilong ko kakaaral. Kaya ngyn single pa rin #bwiset!

Try nya mag-aral ng collaboration products lng Skype for business.

z3design

@kittykitkat18 , nagtest na ba c hubby for BTT? Punta kasi ako sa CDC this sat. Mag-enroll. Tumawag ako, need ng enrollment then bago masched ng BTT. Within the day din nmn. Jun yung available BTT test. Sabi sa akin, enrollment fee is 30sgd and BTT is 6.50sgd

engineer20

@z3design sa case mo kailangan mo yata kunin lahat ng tests bago magkalisensya..

kittykitkat18

@z3design wow..lawak na din knowledge mo ah..sa ngyn tamad pa magaral si hubby pro no choice sya but to upskill..before kasi nag cisco sya tpos hndi pumasa so give up pa nya.then nagmanage sya ng family business for 4 yrs.nagdecide sya to work at buti natanggap sya khit no experience sa pinas..sa trend micro..after that Hp sya natuto ng exchange..tanders na din kme pareho..blessed pa pa din at nakahabol pa sya sa IT career nya. Though minsan naisip nya na sna ganito sna ganyan..sbi ko hayaan m na ang mahalaga nakahabol ka pa..and PR na tyo..something na hndi nmin akalain na mabibigay..so thankful pa din kme..ok lng yang single..at least nothing to worry much..carefree and easy..malay mo u will meet your special girl sa down under

kittykitkat18

@z3design nakasched na si hubby ng btt dis may 18..hay naku nung march pa kme nagpasched grabe pla fully booked. Mura lng pla pag register..may reviewer din kme nabili sa popular..2 books un..isang q&a tpos ung isa reviewer..tpos pinaasikaso ko na lto cert sa pinas..na claim na..exam nlng kulang

z3design

@engineer20 Ser ang sabi sa aking ganito:
Take BTT exam, once pass go to Traffic Police and convert to Class 3C.
Before you take BTT, need to enroll sa driving school which is napili ko ay CDC (UBI).

Sa conversion, ang need lang is yung receipt ng 1st DL ko, passport, IC, and page ng 1st entry ko sa SG. Sa case ko hindi ko sure kung tatangapin nila ung LTO Certification kc wala na sa akin mga receipt ko. CLass 3C ung binibigay, if ever I want to convert to class 3, need to take ATT and Practical.

YouOne

@rdorpia oo nga po been planning this for a long time na kaso laging nagkaka abirya pag magsisimula na ko magprocess kaya nauudlot. Ngyon kasal na ko kailangan ko na talaga ipush para sa future namen ni Mrs.

@kittykitkat18 salamat po sa advice!.. God Bless Po!..

engineer20

@z3design ganun ba. akala ko di pwede conversion foreign license conversion for SG citizen unless nakuha mo yun dahil sa nagtrabaho or nagaral ka overseas.

z3design

@engineer20 Yan yung hindi ko naconfirm. Kasi sa phone inexplain ko na I have my PH driving license before I came here in SG and before converted to Citizen. Sa Pinas po ako ng-aral ng college. I have stamp stating the 2005 ung first initial entry ko and s LTO certificate ko nakalagay ung year na acquire which is 2004. Anyways, dadalhin ko rin nmn ung transcript of record ko kung sakali para mapaconvert. Advise ko kau sa outcome sa June 1

erdie_dizon

@kittykitkat18 mas mainam dun ka bumili ng reviewer ng btt kung saan ka nagparegister?
neway diko lang sure baka same naman yung nabili mo sa popular, madali lang yung exam actually basta familiar kasa mga road markings.

kittykitkat18

@erdie_dizon actually tinanong din nmin dun kng may reviewer cla..ang sagot is u can buy in popular..lol

z3design

@kittykitkat18 Mayroon na ba kayong accomodation? Lapit na big move. Baka mag-airbnb muna ako pagdating then hanap ng place pag nandun na

kittykitkat18

@z3design ala din accomodation.balak ko airbnb or flatmates.com.au

Ang hrap pla pag ikaw lahat noh..ala kasi kme kilala sa au except adelaide na friend ni hubby

z3design

@kittykitkat18 Yup same here. My friends ako sa Sydney na willing akong ampunin pero destination ko is melby. Mahirap talaga pero lahat naman nagsisimula sa wala.

kittykitkat18

@z3design buti ikaw may magaampon khot sydney..kme sydney or melbourne ang gusto nmin..sna sa forum may makta ako ng rentals. Prefer ko tlga mga pinoy ksma

thegreatiam15
