Title: Television!!
Something unexpected happened this afternoon. I went to play soccer with some of my unit's friends so after i make my way home to rest and eat my lunch. I switched on the TV to catch the highlights of yesterday's EPL games. As i was watching, the pictures started to trip and became distorted, slowly i tried to adjust the cables, trying to remedy the problem but to no avail. I told my mum about this, she came into the living room to take a look and she also tried switching the channels and tighten the cables but it simply didn't work and 'snap' the screen went blank and there wasn't any image on the set now. The worst scenerio has happened, my TV is spoilt after almost 8 years. Suddenly, the world seems to have ended, i know this is kind of exaggerating but this is true, i do not know what to do now, no TV, no programmes to watch and my 'Star Awards' is showing tonight, i cannot afford to miss it.
Only one thing in my mind, to go down to Courts and buy a new TV back as soon as possible. I told Mum about this and she agreed only if she could finish her work at home first. I was thinking fine, i shall wait for her. Who knows, i feel asleep and it took an hour an half before we actually make our way to Compass Point. After some browsing, choosing and thinking, we bought a brand new Samsung LCD TV 23'' inches to be exact. It costs a bomb but it was neccessary. I managed to bring back and setup the everything before dinner time. The quality was excellent and the sound system was superb. Everything is back to normal again, I get to watch my programmes and everybody's happy again. Luckily, it was spoilt in the afternoon, if it happened when the show is showing, that would be a disaster for everybody in the house. Glad that everything was solved.
My sister just came home from her outing, another stunning thing has happened, my mp3 player is down. The music is ok and everything's seems alright only that the cable is loose and it become karoake version, *sighz* at first there was some problem with the remote control so i change the thing by not using the remote control at all, that solves the problem but another thing cropped up again. Without my player, everywhere i go will be so plain, not interesting at all. What should i do now?? It seems like everything is down at the moment and it means i need to replace to them and that means that i need to cough out money also.
This blog wasn't meant to be written in this manner but after hearing the news that my mp3 player is down, i have got nothing to write already. I shall end it here.
*sighz*
