My New TV!!!

I've been thinking about it for soooo long!

So long I tell you! I used to play XBOX and watch all my movies on my old boxy TV at home

until of course I had some friends start telling me that playing XBOX on a proper LCD HD TV is a whole new experience altogether.

Still.. I didn't buy it right there and then. It's a heavy commitment. So I thought about it for a full month until Mike (Xiaxue's bf) one day finally pushed me over and convinced me to buy one. What he said was that he was having the same dilemma as I was before he bought his LCD TV.... and now that he has, the only regret he has was not buying it earlier than he did.

Of course Boss Ming's tweet reply to me the other day as well helped egg me on.

So well... I went shopping with my Dad (who was visiting from Penang) yesterday. We went to lots and lots of different places to look at TVs. We even went to this shop in Low Yat that claimed they had the lowest prices. The sales guy went to the extent of showing us a piece of paper with prices on it and saying that the price he was quoting us was already at cost. I didn't believe it of course. Why would you sell a new product at cost?

We eventually ended up at Harvey Norman in Pavilion. There this salesman starting telling us all about what TVs to get and he was pushing this particular LG model really really hard. The 47-inch LCD TV came free with a home theater system and a DVD player all for RM7,299.

I compared it with the other brands in Harvey Norman and they all cost about the same or more (without the DVD player and home theater system). So my Dad immediately said "Son... buy this... it's value for money".

And like a good son I did... along with what could've been my life savings. (Then again LG ran a Nuffnang campaign to push its Scarlet campaigns some time back so okay I'm just returning the favour).

One day later, my new TV arrived!!!

Along with my home theater system.

My living room looks a bit more equipped now.

And my XBOX games... look a lot more fun to play.

I'm so happy with my new TV (at least until my credit card bill comes). My only regret is that I wish I could've gotten a bigger one. Like a 50-inch but they didn't have a 50 inch LCD TV. It was either 47 or 55 so oh well.. 47 it is.

Woohoo!

Now off to watch Ugly Betty on it with My Hello Kitty!
