  Sa mga Singapore PR na mag-iinitial entry sa Oz, I understand na hindi na kailangan ng CFO sticker kapag mangagaling Sg.
  
  What if uuwi muna kami sa Pinas for a vacation, kelangan pa rin ba ng CFO sticker kung connecting flight naman kukunin namin (Manila-Singapore-Oz)?

  I don't know if I fully understand what you are trying to ask but here is my take...
  
  If you are getting Manila-Singapore-Australia flight and if you are a Singapore PR then probably you can do away with saying to these pesky immigration officer that YOU ARE GOING BACK TO SINGAPORE...
  
  Never show them your boarding pass to Australia or even mention that you going to Australia as it may raise alarm bells if you cannot show a return ticket.
  
  For peace of mind, get the CFO sticker nalang... That is what I can advise. It will cost you a day though.

  @vhoythoy kamusta medical? after nung medical naming sa SLEC-BGC, nirefer pa ko for pulmonary evaluation sa SLEC-Ermita dahil sa declaration ko ng PTB history. I brought all available x-ray films (oldest is year 2012), medical clearances from my doctor and all. yung oldest x-ray lang kinuha nila for comparison. Sabi nung pulmo ng SLEC-Ermita, yung mga spots ko is indiscernible (cannot be seen/not clearly distinguished na) sa x-ray film kasi minimal-ptb lang naman history ko. need pa I-magnify / zoom in yung x-ray sa CD (lates x-ray c/o SLEC-BGC) to see little white spots. Tinanong ko if need ko na ba mag-sputum, sabi nya, since no changes naman sa itsura ng x-ray from my old and new, plus may cert ako for treatment, they will just forward everything to Global Health. Si Global Health na daw magdedecide if need pa ng sputum test. Nakaka-stress. Sana naman, hindi na ko I-require.. Please, pray for me, guys! cc: @Gft_Sg

  Yan din sabi sa akin ng doctor ung co magdedecide. Minimal ptb lang din akin pero not sure about sa scar kung gaano kalaki or kita tlaga. Dinala ko old xrays pero di na tinignan ng radiologists. No need na daw. Mas mhigpit magmedical jan sa pinas kasi compared dito sa sg. Kaya bilis ko lang natapos. Sinama nlang din nila xerox copy ng medical certificate ko. Ayaw ko naag sputum bukod sa hassle kasi eh dagdag pa paghihintay. Bahala na. Received na nila medical nmin kasi nagchange na status pero wala pa kasi CO.

  Yup, idp din ako. Ung sa listening, writing at reading wala nman sila gagawin kundi i gather lang kayo at magpatugtog ng audio speaker at mag instruct. Then mangolekta ng test papers, sexy nga lang ng nung examiner kaya kakadistract haha. Sa speaking indian na babae nag interview and professional namn sya and pangiti ngiti lang, instruct nya pa nga ako to go on and dont stop speaking until mag time out.

  Actually yung mga facilitator during the listening, reading, and writing tests are not the examiners. Facilitators lang talaga sila. Iba yung mag-check ng answers and specially iba yung mag-grade ng writing mo.

  Kaya naman yan sa bahay. Ako yata mga 1 to 2 weeks lang nag review for around 2 hours a day. Cambridge 6-8 ginamit ko tapos kinig2 youtube for sample interview speaking. Isang beses lang ako nag try mag writing exercise instead nagcreate ako ng outline format. Namali pa nga ako ng booking academic instead of general training plus feeling ko nagkalat ako ng araw ng test haha. Wala din ako sense of urgency to meet 7 in all bands that time kasi for canada ko sana gagamitin ang ielts. And im really not good in English i admit, tama lang hehe. Sa awa ng diyos nka 7 nman sa lahat. Suggestions ko lang practice ka mabuti sa listening at reading kasi yan objective exams yan sanayin mo lang sarili mo paano format ng exam hanggang magamay mo. Sa writing basa2 ka din sa website na write fix tapos create ka outline format un memorize mo plus adjectives/ verbs at konting idioms cguro. Sa speaking, just be yourself and relax para ka lang nakikipag kwentuhan 15 mins lang un di mo halos mamalayan. Nasa technique yan IELTS tska mental attitude din at konting preparations. Lalo na kung magaling ka talaga sa English mas madali yan sayo. After nga ng ielts nasabi ko sa sarili yun na ba un parang ang bilis hehe. tapos pwede ka na ulit mag NBA live 2018 and GTA V

  gusto ko matangkad saken at malaking bulas...teka IELTS usapan natin haha..
  
  salamat mga sir...salamat marami...mamamalita ako dito after nang hermit mode ko sa
  british council magreview sa library d ako makareview s abahay natetempt ako maglaro..

  Kaya naman yan sa bahay. Ako yata mga 1 to 2 weeks lang nag review for around 2 hours a day. Cambridge 6-8 ginamit ko tapos kinig2 youtube for sample interview speaking. Isang beses lang ako nag try mag writing exercise instead nagcreate ako ng outline format. Namali pa nga ako ng booking academic instead of general training plus feeling ko nagkalat ako ng araw ng test haha. Wala din ako sense of urgency to meet 7 in all bands that time kasi for canada ko sana gagamitin ang ielts. And im really not good in English i admit, tama lang hehe. Sa awa ng diyos nka 7 nman sa lahat. Suggestions ko lang practice ka mabuti sa listening at reading kasi yan objective exams yan sanayin mo lang sarili mo paano format ng exam hanggang magamay mo. Sa writing basa2 ka din sa website na write fix tapos create ka outline format un memorize mo plus adjectives/ verbs at konting idioms cguro. Sa speaking, just be yourself and relax para ka lang nakikipag kwentuhan 15 mins lang un di mo halos mamalayan. Nasa technique yan IELTS tska mental attitude din at konting preparations. Lalo na kung magaling ka talaga sa English mas madali yan sayo. After nga ng ielts nasabi ko sa sarili yun na ba un parang ang bilis hehe. tapos pwede ka na ulit mag NBA live 2018 and GTA V

  hahaha yun yun e...!!!
  
  hmm confident ako papi papasa ako in a way sineset ko yung utak na dapat confident walang room for mistakes siguro...kahit alam ko yung kakayanan ko siguro one way to para idefend sarili ko sa mental black out...
  
  1 week?nagleave nga ako sir magbababad ako sa library buong araw magrereview magisa...yun nga may nagshare sa kabilang thread cambridge exams...eto inaaral ko ngayon sir...medyo namamali mali ako...
  
  ilan yung usually dapat mali mo sa listening kada question sections?
  
  kunware section 1
  
  may 7 out of 7
  
  namali mo dalawa
  
  or kada questions usually ilang mali dapat...gusto ko sana malaman kung gaano kabigat ang consistency pagdating sa tama at maling sagot...salamat...

  Basta ako sa cambridge nasa 26-28 lang palagi score ko sa review hahaha. Then sa actual mas madali cguro na nka 30 yata ako 7 eh, nadistract pa ako dun sa sexy sa harap at sa umuubo sa tabi ko. Mas madali actual for me compared sa reviewer. Pinaka nahirapan ako sa reading, 3 nakakaantok kasi na passage academic kasi, pero sa gt baka mas madali ng konti. Relax ka lang na focus kasi pag kabado ka lalo ka mamali time pressure kalaban mo kasi. Di nman ganun tlaga kahirap ielts, confident lang. Practice ka lang tlaga kung saan ka nahihirapan.
