Sebastian here it is!! It's up to you, what you want to pack coming down here. I was allowed 40 kg (differs with each plane) to the plane, and I didn't used up the full capacity as I don't want to ship anything back from there. I only use 20kg for mine clothes and foods. =) But it depends on your necessity when you're down here. If you can save by buying from there, save up!!
To/Not to bring down here:
Clothes that you can throw away in case you shop a lot *summer sale: a decent shirt could cost up to 3 pounds or a dress around 10 pounds or lower as the sale getting to the end*
Water bottles, Stationary set, Papers, Make-up set (if you think you want to look nice when you're out), Sanitary pads, Journal Book (to write down what you experienced down here), Toiletries, Travel documents, Travelers cheque or bank draft to show immigrant officer you have emough money to support yourself when you're down here, Maggie Mee is good for the time you don't have much time to cook (Wrap it in parcel and write 'fragile' on it, check-in your parcel) *maggie down here is so different and the mee capacity is quite little and not to mention quite expensive*, shoes, high heels, sandals *high heels here are really high!! is rare to find those medium or short heels here, it could cost up to 6 pounds or more* (and it's up to you if you want to buy here, during sale Nike or Adidas could cost from 10-25 pounds only), thumb-tag (those nails that could stick on board) you will have a board in your room, sweater or jackets
Foods: You don't have to bring lots of biscuits, just bring those like packets of bah kut teh, sambal (local delicacy you think you might miss it when you're down here)
Reasons: Biscuits here are much better and much more choices!!! (could get like 2 packets of biscuits for only 99 pence) and is really delicious.
Caution: Foods here do expire fast, so always look out for their expiry date and calculate if you could finish by that period. If food that goes down really cheap, please check the expiry date (it might be on that day itself)
You don't have to buy pots or bring any culinary sets from home. Culinary sets such as fork, spoon, cup, plate are all provided down here. Pots you can share with your house-mates to buy it and don't go for the crazily cheap ones because it could get rusted easily. I know some of you prefer non-stick pan but aluminium ones could stand longer. Invest more in it so you wouldn't need to buy again for the second time.
You don't need to bring any socket extension or plugs. In your room itself, there's more than enough. I have 6 sockets here and yes I counted it. No need for any universal travel plug unless if you're going down to Europe. UK sockets are as same as M'sia. There'll be a phone beside you on the table, you could call your friends' room, save up the credit. =)
You don't need to bring any bed-sheets down here. Accommodation here will provide you with it. You will be given a pillow, quilt, bed-sheet, quilt-sheet (blanket-sheet), pillow case.
I think that's all for the do bring/don't bring items. If you have any additional items on your mind and wanted opinion on it, just hit me up. Hope this helps.
Do tell me what else you want to know, I'm not sure what all of you want to know.
