虎年第一個 casualty.

My dad always say, "New things won't come until old ones gone" :D This is always true when it comes to home appliance. :D

Our trusty old tv which was with our family for almost 10 years finally died on the 19th Feb. :D

We blamed this to our cousin's curse on the 3rd day of Chinese new year. :D He said, "Wow, you guys still using chunky type of TV, if it broke, nobody would be able to fix".


Not even 1 week passed, our old TV couldn't resist the jinx it was laid upon... :D

The problem was that after we pressed the on button, it took a long time to really show pictures. Initially, it took about 10 minutes, and then 2 days later, it took 30 minutes or so, then an hour... in the end, it just never turned on anymore. :D

If it's like 2 years ago, my parents would probably find some technicians over to h ave it fixed. But seriously, using this TV for 10 years and the new generation is so much smaller and in HD, it's time we bid farewell to our old friend. :D

So we got this:

It's a Sony EX4, 32". It's really an upgrade from our old 25" box tv. It has built in HDTV receptors. When we first turned it on, we all exclaimed, wow it's so much sharper and clearer than the old one! YAY! :D hahah

We Chinese have a saying: "新屎坑", we couldn't stop admiring our new friend the whole first week. :D

I will tell you a funny story about our new TV tomorrow. :D
