me and my wife, what we are looking at doing is that bibili lang kami ng prepaid credit which will be good for a few gigs of internet data. we can utilize the connection sa laptops namin by teethering.
ang hindi ko lang alam is the speed of prepaid data plan...
just like you guys, as soon as magkaroon ng sariling place na, saka nalang kumuha ng broadband.

Nandito ako ngayon sa Sydney for my initial entry. Babalik din ako sa SG next week. So far ito yung mga nagawa ko na within one day:
1. Open bank account sa NAB. Take note unlike sa SG, after one week pa makuha yung ATM so abot pa naman kung totoong next monday or tuesday ko pa makuha. Passport and visa grant notification po ang hiningi sa akin. You also need an Aus address so I guess makisuyo muna sa kakilala hehe
2. Register Medicare - Buti na lang nasa same building lang yung NAB and Medicare so less hassle for me. Merong nadodownload na form sa Medicare site for enrolment then submit na lang pag nandun na (may queue system pala). Pero sa case ko, hindi ako na print yung form. May staff dun na palakad-lakad at nag-assist so inform mo na lang siya na new immigrant ka then bigyan ka niya nung enrolment form. Kung hindi kayo nagpa visa stamp, just make sure na dala niyo yung print out ng Visa Grant Notification and your passport of course. You need to nominate a bank account sa medicare. After the processing, bigyan ka ng maliit na papel which serves as your temporary medicare card. After 3 weeks pa raw i-memail yung card so hindi ko na maabutan.
3. TFN Registration - online lang ito pero so far wala pa feedback
