Our cat goes out on the balcony and the building has a lot of strays. The vet clinic gave us a long answer and we forgot most of it. What's the usual routine?

General pattern (your vet decides for your cat): kittens are dewormed every couple of weeks until about 3 months, then roughly every three months as adults — more often for hunters and cats who go outdoors. Flea and tick products are usually monthly or every few months depending on the product, and the monsoon is the busy season.
Two important things: use products made for CATS — many dog flea drops contain permethrin, which is dangerous for cats — and weigh your cat, because doses depend on weight. Ask your vet to write the schedule on the vaccination card.
