  • DVD Recorder problems?

    DVD Recorder records and plays but only video and no audio.?

    I bought the DVD Recorder last June (2006). It has been recording and playing very well. Till last week. Whatever I records, I could play only the video, not the audio. Then when I tried other purchased shows, the audio is perfect. This is on the AV channel on my TV, the rest of the TV channels's audio is also doing well, except this AV channel, what's going on?

    Going to Cameron Highlands, from JB, but need to ensure that there's a joining bus to go from KL to Tanah Rata.

    Can anyone advise if there is any changes to the coaches at JB, whether, anyone of them go direct or can handle bookings all the way up, and back?

    Cameron Highlands is a nice place, but don't want to get stuck up there.

    Thanks to all.

  • Carnival Trick?

    A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50." The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less. In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

  • Two Cannibals?

    Two cannibals, a father and son, were elected by the tribe to go out and get something to eat. They walked deep into the jungle and waited by a path.

    Before long, along came this little old man. The son said, "Ooh dad, there's one." "No," said the father. "There's not enough meat on that one to even feed the dogs. We'll just wait."

    Well, a little while later, along came this really fat man. The son said, "Hey dad, he's plenty big enough." "No," the father said. "We'd all die of a heart attack from the fat in that one. We'll just wait."

    About an hour later, here comes this absolutely gorgeous woman.

    The son said, "Now there's nothing wrong with that one dad. Let's eat her."

    "No," said the father. "We'll not eat her either."

    "Why not?" asked the son.

    "Because, we're going to take her back alive and eat your mother."

  • I Want to Buy That?

    A blonde goes into a nearby store and asks a clerk if she can buy the TV in the corner.

    The clerk looks at her and says that he doesn't serve blondes, so she goes back home and dyes her hair black.

    The next day she returns to the store and asks the same thing, and again, the clerk said he doesn't serve blondes.

    Frustrated, the blonde goes home and dyes her hair yet again, to a shade of red.

    Sure that a clerk would sell her the TV this time, she returns and asks a different clerk this time.

    To her astonishment, this clerk also says that she doesn't serve blondes.

    The blonde asks the clerk, "How in the world do you know I am a blonde?"

    The clerk looks at her disgustedly and says,"That's not a TV -- it's a microwave!"

  • Ah Beng, Mohammad and Muthu were at sea when they were hijacked by a group of pirates. The pirates cornered?

    them & said "Give us all your valuables!" The chief pirate then raised a syringe & added, "Or else we'll inject you with the AIDS virus!"

    Mohammad quickly stripped off all his valuables & handed them to the pirates. Satisfied, they threw him into the sea.

    Muthu was equally quick to comply with the pirates' wishes. Similarly, he removed his valuables & surrendered them to the pirates. Like Mohammad, he was thrown into the sea.

    Finally it came to Ah Beng's turn. He stared at the pirates and sneered. "You all kee see lah! (go and die!) Inject, inject lah, you'll never get my lolex and my JPG warret!"

    The pirates, showing no mercy, injected Ah Beng with the HIV virus, and robbed him of his precious watch and wallet. They then threw him into the sea with the rest.

    In the water, both Mohammad and Muthu commended Ah Beng for his bravery. However, they were pretty perplexed by why he was unafraid of the virus. Grinning, Ah Beng answered, "AIDS I not scared, what... I got condom!!!"

  • Do you agree.....As an employee....?

    AS AN EMPLOYEE, ...

    * the biggest motivation is salary

    * the unluckiest thing is promotion without salary adjustment

    * the most "shiok" thing is you don't work anyhow also get pay increment

    * the greatest talent is "carry big stuff"

    * the greatest mistake is to argue with your boss

    * the most demoralising thing is to receive salary late

    * the most pitiful thing is you did not get your salary and your boss ran away

    * the happiest thing is you become your boss' boss

    * the cleverest thing is you are late but boss doesn't know

    * the stupidest thing is you publicly say that you are lazy

    * the most common thing is - the boss says something but means another

    * the proudest thing is you sack your boss

    * the most "rugi" thing is you work hard but your colleague takes the credit

    * the most dangerous thing is to become a "two-headed" snake

    * the biggest satisfaction - sending stuff like this during office hours!!

  • *Wig Eye Witness*?

    While my friend was working as a receptionist for an eye surgeon, a very angry woman stormed up to her desk.. "Someone stole my wig while I was having surgery yesterday," she complained.

    The doctor came out and tried to calm her down. "I assure you that no one on my staff would have done such a thing," he said. "Why do you think it was taken here?"

    "After the operation, I noticed the wig I was wearing was cheap-looking and ugly."

    "I think" explained the surgeon gently, "that means your cataract operation was a success."

  • Dress Temptation?

    Struggling to make ends meet on a first-call salary, the pastor was livid when he confronted his wife with the receipt for a $250 dress she had bought."How could you do this?!"

    "I was outside the store looking at the dress in the window, and then I found myself trying it on," she explained. "It was like Satan was whispering in my ear, 'You look fabulous in that dress. Buy it!'"

    "Well," the pastor replied, "You know how I deal with that kind of temptation. I say, 'Get behind me, Satan!'"

    "I did," replied his wife, "but then he said, 'It looks fabulous from back here, too!'"

  • One day, Mr. Worm decided to hitch a ride to town. As he was standing by the roadside, a family of bees came?

    by in a little car & offered him a ride. Gratefully, he accepted. After putting along merrily for a few km, the engine sputtered & the car rolled to a halt.

    Without saying a word, Papa Bee alighted & urinated into the fuel intake. When he turned the starter, the engine started up, much to Mr Worm's amazement! However, he did not say a word. The car went on for quite some distance before the engine died again. This time, it was Mother Bee who urinated into the fuel intake, & again, the car started up after that. The process was then repeated again for Baby Bee. By the time the engine died for the 4th time, the little car was only a few km from town.

    Not wanting to appear unsophisticated, Mr Worm got out of the car without a word, & started opening the fuel cap.

    In a flash, Papa Bee got out of the car & asked. "What are U doing?"

    "I'm going to piss in the fuel intake, just like you did", said Mr Worm.

    Oh, no", said Papa Bee patiently, "that won't do. This car only runs on BP."

  • God looked at earth and wanted to know what kind of behavior that was going on. He decided to send an angel?

    down to Earth to check it out. So he called one of His angels and sent the angel to Earth for a time.

    When he returned, he told God, "Yes, it is bad on Earth; 95% are misbehaving and 5% are not."

    God thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I had better send down a second angel to get another opinion." So God called another angel and sent him to Earth for a time too.

    When the angel returned he went to God and said, "Yes, it's true-the Earth is in decline; 95% are misbehaving and 5% are being good."

    God was not pleased. So He decided to E-mail the 5% that were good, because He wanted to encourage them - to give them a little something to help them keep going.

    Do you know what that E-mail said?
