I was so proud of my desktop at home a year ago. 4 SATA hard disks running at raid0, with two undisputed speed demons, namely my new pair of Western Digital’s Raptor (74GB). It’s my habit to leave the computer on since I’m almost on it 24/7.

Until the best thing that had ever happen to me when I least expected it. One of the Raptor crashed. Almost most of my Real Estate files, photos and details went pfft in a matter of a day’s time. Though I could try to do a data recovery with WD’s approved data recovery company, it’s too expensive to do so.

Well well, short and sweet. Su.sg has added a customise URL function.

How it works

Say you love this Aliph Jawbone 2 Bluetooth (i’ve got mine and it works GREAT) listing from Ebay and wanna share with your friend through newsgroup,

Woohoo. Pretty long. After snipping it with Su.sg, you’ll get http://su.sg/0e0e

Short and sweet isn’t it? Except people doesn’t know what’s 0e0e. They can also turn on the preview function to avoid being brought to somewhere that they don’t like.

I’ve just added the URL Preview function to su.sg, the cool way to shorten your URL.

Why Preview Function?

You’ve seen a su.sg/something domain loitering around. It directs you to somewhere instantly. You don’t like it. Some reasons are:

• Another crappy affiliate ad link hidden behind su.sg.
• A virus/ trojan link which makes you vulnerable
• Some indecent site that you wouldn’t or maybe someone behind you whom you don’t want them to look at.

Continuing from where we left, we’ll now can up the process of acquiring a piece of real estate in Singapore. There are generally two ways of purchasing a private residential property in Singapore.

1. By way of an Option to Purchase
2. By entering into a Sales and Purchase Agreement

By Way of an Option to Purchase

This is the more common way of transacting. You will have to come up with an initial 1% of the purchase price (we call it the “option money”) in exchange for the Option to Purchase.

A Definite and Easy Guideline on how to buy Singapore Real Estate for Investment if you are a Foreigner

First off, we need to know the requirements for foreign investors who wishes to own a piece of Singapore real estate. We know that the Singapore government has relaxed the rules of foreign real estate ownership since the 1970s till now. Defining the term Foreigner in Singapore contacts, as long as you’re not a:

• Singapore citizen

Have you got a url you’ve always wanted to share on the papers when you advertise a particular property and want to show a online flyer with photos on your particular marketed property? Always face this problem when your intended URL is too long to be published?

FEAR NOT.

Introducing the brand new su.sg (shorturl.sg), a new URL trimmer works similarly to tinyurl.com which I’ve fixed up for everyone to use. How it really works.

Hear hear! It’s still day 2 of Chinese New Year! 恭喜恭喜! As we know the importance of the web and how it’s revolutionizing our daily ways of buying and even selling stuff, it’s becoming more and more easy to even market your property through the internet (especially for Singapore where more and more social portal sites are trying to top one another for a good spot to earn ad revenue from agents in the near future).
