    Hello batchmate...nag ied kmi last nov 25 and back to sg ng nov 29...sa immigration passport lng d naman kinuha grant letter. Ng declare kmi ng medicine (for asthma with puff and ventolin etc) and food (chocolates na di nakain ng son ko n binaon) nilagay ko n sa isang bag ang medicine kata ng hingin isang bgay na lng d naman tiningnan na ask lng ako un lng daw ba sabi ko oo then sabi okay just keep and go na kmi. My nabili ako phone n lock sa vodafone dito sa sg with sim pero d namin maactivate online un pala old sim kaya ng nasa airport kmi pina activate ng hubby ko then change nila ng new sim for free. Ngbayad lng kmi sa load na activated for 365 days which is okay hanggang sa big move.namin next march para maging contact number nmin para sa pghahanap ng job. So far naging smooth lahat pati pag open namin ng account sa westpac even.d namin.nkuha ang card pero activated na sya. We can transfer money anytime. Binigyan nila kmi ng 2 accounts each. 1 for everyday account na may atm and 1 for savings account na walang atm.

    Na enjoy namin ang stay...very friendly sila. My son enjoy a lot at ayaw na umuwi...kaya ngiisip na kmi na baka mapaaga ang balik...

    @eun08 pwede remit from PH to AU pero malaki ang loss. mas ok pa kung may contact ka sa AU para ung ireremit nya na peso ikaw na magprovide at palitan na lang nya ng AUD. kung wala ka naman kakilala sa AU ay hanap ka na lang dito sa SG na pwede mo palitan ang SGD nya ng peso para mairemit mo SG-AU thru dbs remit.
