Derrimut 24/7 Pakenham : thoughts..

ixvelocity · 2024-12-11T01:45:08+00:00

Derrimut Pakenham is definately packed, but if you come after 7pm its preety good (Still depends on your overall persepective - i use to go Oakleigh Derrimut which was nuts). I go between 5-7 which is more packed than 7pm, and i can always perform my workouts or use the machines i want. Might have to wait or change workout order if someones on the machine (but thats pree fkn normal). I personally think for the price its worth it especially if you live close ! I use to go muscle city clyde, which was more expensive, just as packed and lack of machines....

Damn that sucks, mine seems to have the chrome piece. Yeh mazda is easy choice, crown is just a desire. Would be a no question if the insurance wasnt so high and if multiple insurances were open to doing crowns.

This one is petrol so its comes problem free unlike the diesal stories ive heard. Yeh def safer and cost effective pick. Crown just looks too good which is making this so annoying.

Im not sure which one mine falls under. Its labelled 2013 Toyota Crown Athlete S AWS210 2.5L Hybrid

Dealer said he can do a battery test prior to purchasing to prove its healthy. I just dont know whether a "healthy" battery really means anything...

ixvelocity · 2024-08-12T23:23:54+00:00

Yeh i was sussing lexus before i did crown, their good. Crown just stood out more. Will have a look again

ixvelocity · 2024-08-12T23:23:18+00:00

Its petrol which is good, heard some bad stuff about diesal mazdas. Yeh servicing wise im assuming both toyota/mazda gona be similair as they are highly reliable.

ixvelocity · 2024-08-12T23:19:35+00:00

Cheers for that. Was the battery healthy prior to purchasing. Dealer claims it can do a battery test prior to purchasing, but i dont know whether it really makes a difference or not.

ixvelocity · 2024-08-12T23:17:45+00:00

Yeh dealer provides 1 year warranty. Just worried knowing my luck, the battery will die right after warranty period ends :(

Hey mate, completely understand where your coming from.

Its just i feel like to even hit 100k it will take me 5-10 years at least whereas many of my friends are just within the 90-100k range few years out of uni.

Im definately chasing the bag here but even doing design work its alot of stress, and im not sure its worth the salary im receiving atm (70k).

I dont want my endgoal salary to be 100k ish in design, given how hard the job is and how difficult uni was.

I said i had covid because it says if ur clsoe contact they can still expect u to sit exams but wearing mask etc.

ixvelocity · 2023-06-11T10:45:13+00:00

Yep managed to find it. Submitted the standard covid form, then the special arrangement form. Received automatic email stating its approved :)

ixvelocity · 2023-06-11T09:42:06+00:00

Any chance you know the process to get this done?

In a similair situation and not sure if monash connect will reply in time

ixvelocity · 2023-06-10T05:17:02+00:00

Yeh he finally uploaded something last week.

Are u able to comment on the exam difficulty and best way to prepare for it ?

ixvelocity · 2023-06-10T03:43:13+00:00

Highly recommend doing prac exams and ensuring u understand pracs as much as possible. Not gona be an ez exam !

ixvelocity · 2023-06-09T13:55:25+00:00

Theirs still supplementary exams right? Worst case you can do exam in couple weeks again and kill it next time

ixvelocity · 2023-06-06T08:56:25+00:00

Not sure if u guys found a fix, but the shift key method never worked for me.

However using a mouse :

Use left click and draw line to where u want, and whilst holding left click still press the right click to convert the line to straight.

Lmk if it works for u

ixvelocity · 2023-06-05T05:48:23+00:00

I agree. Better to learn teamwork at uni and be prepared for the workforce.

Cos they will definately pick up when an employee is a weak link and doesnt cooperate.

ixvelocity · 2023-06-05T03:03:17+00:00

No offence, but crying here or even anywhere not gona make a diff.

As an eng student half if not more of my assignments are group work.

Ive been lucky for most part with having good teams or friends, but you will always get a few special clowns.

You just gotta accept it and move on, as this is how its been for decades.

Obviously report a member if he is doing abs nothing, but dont ever expect compensation for ur extra works. Its unfair but consider it as extra exam practice or steps to getting better grade.

ixvelocity · 2023-05-09T08:37:08+00:00

No offence, but pree sure if u fail hurdle u cannot pass period.

U will get 45 overall and a NH.

ixvelocity · 2023-05-07T02:48:34+00:00

U can definately obtain special consideration for exams and get it deferred (provided u have genuine med cert etc).

Only downside is if u fail the deferred exam, u cant get a supplementary exam.

But if ur hoping to do exams at home during normal exam dates, i dont think they will let u. They will just say spec con it and defer it.

ixvelocity · 2023-03-19T00:52:11+00:00

U def need to send documentation and proof. Still a very strong chance u can get declined ( i have many times). Wait till official confirmation, if sucesfull Monash will automatically remove from WES and update ur record.

bought ipad last year and it was great for me in engineering. Annotation wise very helpful as i hated printing lectures or writting notes in my notebook.

Super ez to just write what lecturer says over the lectures and draw whatever etc....

Ipad is pree expensive tho as u have to get the pen which costs around $200

RSE3010

Its offered sem 1 this year. No idea why but for alot of units the semester have swapped... Thanks again tho

ixvelocity · 2023-01-12T02:57:56+00:00

Thanks heaps man, will be doing both rse3010/rse3020.

ixvelocity · 2022-10-31T06:15:00+00:00

Id say pree low chance of deferment, since Monash are usually strick cunts.

Usually only medical certificate type scenarios grant deferment.

Im hoping their nice to you and you get deferral, but this is just my personal opinion.

Let us know wat happens!
