Waiting time for Title transfer ?

ming2020 — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 14:45:26 +0800

Hi

Need to hear from people, especially those with personal experience having sold property.

What is the average time needed between the signing of S&P, for the Land Office to approve the title transfer, and finally for the full money to be paid out by the bank?

Let's assume here that everything goes smoothly e.g. no legal problems with the property being sold, etc.

I have heard various opinions. From minimum 3 months, to 6 months till 1 year before the land office finishes their job.

(There are also rumours of sellers having to pay significant "duit kopi" in order to speed up the land office process.... but let me stress that this is just rumours )

Thanks.

Anyone recognise this model ?

Snippet from some forum, sounds like some dude promoting her...

赵鑫，原名赵鑫宝，女，19岁，身高166（估计值），体重106（亦是估计值），性格活泼好动，幽默风趣，极其漂亮，看见真人才知道比照片漂亮，和熊一样，唯一的区别是熊不上相，而此女是很漂亮却很难拍漂亮了，熊知是自己水平不够，难以象高手一样只要看见模特就能够有如何去拍摄的思路。

其实熊很想用低广角对角线构图来拍摄她，寻求她的最美一面，可惜只有一50标头装在20D机身上，用胶片机到是尝试了如此构图，不过估计是N久之后熊才有时间和精力去冲洗扫描胶片，先上第一组数码片，抓拍其和姐姐玩游戏，熊的后期很糟糕，而此数码片熊也不是很喜欢，色彩很平，虽艳却发干，不油润，希望大家多拍砖，熊细心听取之......

Smyx 1Mbps: Strange UPSTREAM bandwidth fluctuation

ming2020 — Fri, 28 Apr 2006 15:57:42 +0800

I have a Streamyx 1M line. Today I routinely logged into my Aztech modem to find that the Upstream bandwidth has dropped to 128k. Turned the modem power off and on again a few times and it went up to 160k. Finally (right now) it's back to the expected 384k.

All the while the Downstream bandwidth remains at 1024k.

From several download tests, the drop from 384k to 128k affects the download speed significantly (~40% slower). Especially more so if I've several concurrent downloads by different apps (e.g. P2P + web browsing).

I've had my share of Downstream bandwidth fluctuations in the past (down to 640k, 768k) but this is a bit weird.

I wonder if this is the fault of the modem, or the stinking DSLAM (Alcatel?) at Telekom.

Anyone else experienced this before?
