How to set up a Sharp Aquos with Astro

Image
Am I the only one having difficulties connecting asstro to an LED tv? My 2 years old JVC TV broke down suddenly today, so I bought a new one. I went to giant and had my eyes on a 32" one of the sharp line worth RM8++ , the cheapest one among the branded on display. Unfortunately, it is out of stock, so I went to next best thing, a 32" Aquos from the same line. As we got home, I was very excited and start unwrapping and begun setting it up immediately, and again unfortunately, it won't work with asstro, it doesn't display any pictures except that thousand dots. So I connected it to a plain AV antenna and manage to receive one channel only, TV3. (That is why in rural area asstro is a necessity because normal antenna could only captures weak signal, if we get TV1 that's a blessing because we got two channel to enjoy!). Frustrated I called asstro but unfortunately again to no avail, the nice lady with asstro said they can only do their

My barber rides a Honda

I went to my barber last weekend and I noticed that he rides motor cycle now. He used to take the bus to work for all his live. So I asked him why now? He said he couldn't afford the fare anymore and found out that riding is more economical. I found out that's oddly quaint. I always watch max out, a TV series about financial management, in each episode a financial advisor will help a family to repay their debts and eventually avoid bankruptcy. In one episode  the adivisor advises the advisee to get rid of her car and start using the public transport because it is cheaper in cost. got that? While in this country things turn to go the other way round, where people avoid public transport and opt for the more economical motorcycle. The chat ends when my hair is done,and I come to a conclusion on the matter. Some party gone frenzy demanding for cheaper fuel without realizing he only owns a 1990's proton, while Nazri Aziz's son drive a RM500k hummer. I

More guns, less crime?

Put more guns on the street to stop guns related crime? That's thoughtful. Sometimes smart people too do silly things.

Ambank Pasaraya, a series of unfortunate events

Image
I lost my road-tax. Since I took ambank insurance, I returned to ambank for help, at bandar pasaraya around 11.20 on 1st March 2013 to prey for information, talked to one of the staff at the table nearest to the main door and it turn out to be another heart broken trip there. The staff is rude and clueless, she won't even make eye contact not to mention a smile. My first heart broken trip there was last year, asking to change my phone number associated with my credit card, but the staff, at the table next to the atm machines, won't entertain me, "You can do it online ma." Said him, without even looking. It was at ambank sg dua and its benign staff, I got my phone number changed and my insurance renewed. Back to today, so, heart broken I drove to ambank, town, 7.9 km away, and luckily the staff there mend my broken heart. While the public services are urged to emulate the private sector, ambank pasaraya took the other way around, ditching their private s
