  Mga tropang SG kasi kami dito kasama si TS kaya nakakarelate. If you read closely on all of my comments i often used "qualifying words" like in general, majority of them, not "all of them". Also "i often used" is some sort of qualifying words right. I am very careful because theres no absolute facts/generalisation here. Besides what we shared is not a general opinion/ stereotyping but based on our actual experiences in works and life here. Like for example, when i said they are pampered peeps, its not against them but more of saying they are lucky bunch of people being taken care of their gov't. Even Engineer boy mentioned " alot of them". And i don't easily affected by other nationalities comments about pinoy. Its their opinion anyways. So chillax, we are all professionals here. Peace din kita kits sa Aussie

  hanap ka ng work na kung saan state nakatira kapatid mo.

  hehe di pede yan kasi watak watak nga kami. meron sa wagga, meron sa sydney. at ayoko ng dagdagan pa ang polusyon/popolasyon ng nsw haha! "career" ang mga yun kaya dun napadpad. kung andito lng trabaho nila, babalik talaga sila dito. nakita na namin ang buong australia, walang tatalo sa adelaide! *wink* lalo na ngayun long weekend... walang katao tao sa daan. may mga tao (ie: mid-aged migrants na galing makati) na di kaya ang ganito sobrang tahimik. pero ako, gustong gusto kooooo....

  Long time no see Double Duzi. Since 1991 ka pa jan sa Aussie tama ba? Uu, kadalasan kasi kapag middle age marami ka ng memories na gusto mo balikan. Sarap jan sa adelaide hahaha

  nakasingit lang ngayung long weekend. ano nga ba ang adelaide maliban sa pagiging MOST LIVABLE CITY IN AUSTRALIA? pero mas ok na yun na kunti lnag pumapasok sa adelaide. para syang estatwang ginto na unti-unting matutuuunaw pag marami tao ang nakakakita. kaya mas mabuti na itapon silang lahat sa bara-baradong lata ng sardinas na kung tawagin ay... sydney hahaha!

  @TotoyOZresident - I will ask tips from you boss when we visit Canberra prior to Christmas... Need to get a new passport na kasi!
  
  It will be a long 7hr drive from Melby!

  Try mo muna kaya tawagan at mag inquire muna sa Phil embassy kung may pupunta para kumuha ng passport application dyan. Puede rin naman dito staka madali lang mag apply ng Passport dito. I think ang processing ay aabot ng 4 to 5 weeks plus courier pa. ito yung site:
