Advise ko huwag kayo mag rent ng studio type or mag-rent ng one or two bedroom house na kayo lang ang nandun. Maganda mag shared house kayo at least may kasama kayo sa bahay. Makaka tipid na kayo mai-improve pa english ninyo at hindi pa kayo malulungkot kasi may kausap kayo pag uwi. Most Studio type or house for rent eh unfurnished means you need to buy or bring your own furniture at appliances. Ang mahal ng rent then bibili pa kayo ng gamit ang mahal di ba at hindi practical? Mag babayad ka pa ng kuryente at telepono for internet connection. Base sa experience ko eh nagkamali ako. Nag rent ako ng studio type unfurnished kaya bumili ako ng gamit. After two years plano ko lumipat ng work at state eh di ko naman madadala lahat nagastusan lang ako ng husto na realise ko dapat pala pinangbili ko ng bagong car madali ko pa ma-intransfer kahit malayong state. Staka na lang kayo mag rent ng sarili nyo kapag kasama nyo na ang partner ninyo at sobra na ang sahod ninyo.
ito ang mga payo mula sa inyong kuya cris

Solo flight din po ako nung dumating. Parang kelan lang, mag 6 months nako! It is daunting talaga, at madami challenges. But slowly, nagkakaroon na rin ng network of friends.
@itsssmeeecheng, I wish I could give a bit more advice re:finding work. Ang alam ko lang, kahit natatagalan, eventually nakakahanap naman po ng work.
Go lang ng go tayo. Mabuhay po sa lahat ng solo-flight!

I guess, tiyaga lang din talaga. Dalawa sa friends ko are a couple on student visas and they have one child in school. Ok naman.

@itsssmeeecheng, yung isa mechanical eh. Yung wielder or something related. Tapos yung isa, lab scientist, parang ganun. Hehe, di ko masyado alam. Pero nasa SOL sila. Ako din, not familiar with applying for PR. Ang alam ko lang yung profession dapat nasa SOL. So, pwede mag apply as skilled migrant or regional-sponsored PR.

Di ko pa ma-finalize plans hangga't walang grant. Pero iniisip ko kung ma-grant ako ng around Sept or Oct, ipagpapa-next year ko na lipad. Kasi mahirap ata maghanap ng work around end of the year.
About sa lugar kung san mismo, sa Melbourne ang gusto ko. Pero kung papalarin ako makahanap ng work sa ibang part habang nandito pa ako sa singapore, go rin lang ako.
Kapag ba SS talagang kelangan dun ka mag-work?
