Today, my lawyer told me that the Land Office have finally approved the consent to tranfer the title to my name. What does this mean?

1. the consent was sent to the Land Office in early March 2008 - therefore it takes roughly 6 month to get the conset to transfer for a leasehold property in Malaysia. Freehold takes less, probably 3 months
2. the official letter will take another 2-3 day to be issued by the Land Office. I am still wondering why it takes so long for a letter to come out - must be the inefficiency
3. I can proceed with private caveat once the official letter is issued. The purpose of private caveat is to prevent the vendor from
   fraudulently dealing with the property in a manner prejudicial to
   the interests of the purchasers and end-financiers.
4. My loan was approved in Jan 2008 so private caveat will allow my lawyer to advice the bank to release the payment balance (90%) to the vendor.
5. Should everything goes as planned, I can actually move into my new condo already
6. My lawyer can start charging the property to the loan provider and at the sametime finalise the title transfer to my name. I guess this process will take another 1-month minimum.

Basically, leasehold property process in Malaysia is quite tedious and time consuming. Frankly speaking, it is slow because it is managed by inefficient agency that may have vested interest to specific land or properties in certain area. Bear in mind that the land office is currently using online system, and it takes this long. Can you imagine what it was like before the online system?

Should you have any other experiences on leasehold property process, please do share for the benefit of others.

For the past few days, my car have been problematic, where my timing belt snaps and recently, my power steering pump broke. The repair cost is so expensive - timing belt (RM380) and power steering pump (RM600). It was lucky of me that the timing belt snap does not affect my car engine. I would have costs me a fortune to repair the engine especially Kia car. In Malaysia, the Kia spare parts are very expensive. You can check timing belt replacement guide here.

Well, my point is, get your car service regularly as it can save tons of money in the long run by saving on repair costs, in this case RM980.

Based on one of the many stats program that I have, here are the recent stats on number of unique visitors that came into one of my website :

April 2008 - 1117 (average/ day: 37)

May 2008 - 1686 (average/ day: 54)

June 2008 - 3681 (average/ day: 123)

Jul 2008 (as at 01 Jul 2008) - 178 (average/ day: 178)

Now, notice the sudden jump in the numbers of visitors especially on the average/day. Again, this fascinates me. So I did some checking and found out that this event is due to one or a combination of keyword/ keyphrases. The keywords/ keyphrases are “Che Det Blog” which came from one of my previous post that basically informing people on our former Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir’s blog. This blog was first posted by me on the 26th May 2008.

Out of curiosity, I opened google and typed “Che Det Blog”. Guess what popped out? My website is in no.5 in the list. That’s good right I don’t know how long this will last but I guess it will die at some point.

My point is, to get good traffic try writing something and relating it to a famous blog and it might just increase your traffic. Try Blog Traffic Jump Start: Quickly Attract Floods of Blog Visitors

The way I look at it, some techniques and ways just won’t work (It’s like a cliche right!). These are:

• Low Fat Diets - These things have been around for years, yet American’s gain more weight year after year, need more proof? Didn’t think so.
• Low Carb Diets - Here’s the latest “craze” losers attempted to use, but these are way to difficult, strict, and nearly impossible to do.
• Low Calorie Diets - This is stupidity, as these actually help you put on weight. Go figure why most people fail with these.
• Dieting Programs - I almost want to laugh, but the only thing you’ll lose is money, not weight! To be honest, these work but take extremely long periods of time to see results: like almost never.

Now what’s the reason of being overweight.. Wanna know the truth?

Well, for starter, here’s the stuff that you are definitely doing wrong:

• Incorrect Eating Patterns
• Incorrect Calories In Your Meals

Basically, the system works like this - once an advertiser makes a purchase from your listing, you will be notified of the sale. Once you’ve received the notification, you will be asked to place the ad on your site into your blogroll. Done. That’s it!

I don’t know whether this blogroll technique will work or not - but one thing for sure it doesn’t hurt to try right!

Check it out at BlogRolled and tell me what do you think?

Will this work?

According to Gary Nugent you can. He says - “Instead of putting all your time into one website, why not put a small amount of time into many websites and start building a Virtual Real Estate Empire. Now each website might only earn between $0.10 and $0.50 per day, but if you had 10 websites, you’d be getting $1 - $5 per day. With a 100 sites, you’d get $10 - $50 per day.”

This can be achieved through SiteBuilder Elite.

Theoritically, it may/ can work but operationality I haven’t tried it yet. What do you think?
