Younger people may not be as invulnerable to the effects of Covid-19 as previously thought, according to data released on Monday by the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, as a top American health official and US President Donald Trump urged the country’s millennials to heed social distancing guidelines.

The CDC’s study of 4,226 coronavirus infections recorded in the US from February 12 to Monday showed that about a fifth of 705 people aged 20-44 were hospitalised, with 2-4 per cent requiring intensive care.

What is the process of buying direct from owner?

fun_feng — Mon, 30 Oct 2017 11:34:39 +0800

Hi all,

What is the process of buying direct from owner?
I know there is a sort-of booking fee form when buying through property agent.
So, when buying from direct owner, I also should put a 1% booking deposit right? In case the owner refuse to sell later...
Do I have to draft out this thing by myself?

What other things i have to look out for?

Thanks!

Buy the house with strata title or without?

fun_feng — Mon, 23 Oct 2017 12:47:30 +0800

Hi all,

I am looking at 2 houses of the same housing project.
Assuming that both houses have the same price and condition.
House A have strata title, but house B do not have and does not intend to get since he is selling.

Which house should I get?
I am under the impression that since House A already have the strata title, I do not have to pay that hefty sum imposed on the Memorandum of Transfer (MOT). Is this true?

Thanks

GND filter - screw-in or filter holder?

fun_feng — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 15:47:07 +0800

Want to ask anybody using GND filter. Which one is better?

1. The screw-in filter where we can rotate just like the polarizer
Pros - easy to slap on and bring around
Cons - have specific lens size
- the darken part of the filter is always 1/2 of the lens

2. Cokin filter holder where the square filter can be slotted in.
Pros - filter holder can fit all lens size using a converter
- can move filter up and down
Cons - Harder to setup (need some advice on this as i've never use it before)
- Space between filter and lens might cause reflection from light behind

I've been torn between the 2 and would like some advices and comments.

Thanks!

Wireless Problem! at different place

Broadband provider
ISP/package:
Location:
Have you called your ISP's helpline?:

Personal equipment
Modem:
Router: NETGEAR DG834G, Linksys WRT54GL
Firewall used:

Problem details
First occurence of problem: From the time i move in new house one month ago
Problem frequency: Everytime
Problem description: Ok I can connect to internet no problem using LAN. But I somehow can't connect to the wireless. I can detect the wireless network with full strength signal. But my laptop totally can't connect, it says fail. My desktop shows connected, but windows pop up a window saying that is some issue and it can't guarantee the network is working correctly.
The weird thing is, I take the same Netgear router to office and try with the same laptop it CAN CONNECT wireless! I totally did not change anything.

My wireless setting is channel:11 (i tried different ones still the same) mode:b&g (i tried different ones still the same), i disabled security, region:Asia(i tried different ones still the same)
My router is placed quite near the pc, but i move it another place also the same.

What worries me is why it works at DIFFERENT place but not at my HOME???? [COLOR=red] What settings should i play with??

Another thing, at home there is an unsecured wireless Aztech network and I can connect to it and surf net.

Bending technique

fun_feng — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 22:30:54 +0800

Hi all,

I just learned how to bend the string on electric guitar.. and i am a little suspicious whether i am doing correctly or not
U see, whenever I tried to bend the string(e.g 3rd string) up(horizontally), the immediate string on top of it(e.g 4th string) sort of come out(vertically), and slide to my finger nails because when i bend it, the force from my fingers are sort of downwards.
I tried to search youtube, but the video are too hazy to see carefully.
So, is my technique correct? Will i spoil the string on top

Thanks sifus
