How fast people are coming up with ideas after reading my last comment! <BR/><BR/>I've just received an SMS, telling me that:<BR/><BR/><I>"Y not consider complete home theatre system? Decent 1 abt RM20k-RM25k? Can last at least 5 yrs. Don alang2!"</I><BR/><BR/>What, you think I print money ah?... hehehe. If I spend RM20k for TV, what do I have left to put on my dinner table?... HAHAHA!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the recommendations, folks, but let's not get too excited now, shall we, hmmmm?Corneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049388322332876859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8760307254603261893.post-73484479289139145192008-07-09T15:27:00.000+08:002008-07-09T15:27:00.000+08:00I have been repeating myself—that I am not ve...I have been repeating myself—that I am not very well-versed with modern technology.<BR/><BR/>One of my regular readers was kind enough to write to me to point out that: <BR/><BR/><I>"some of the newer LCDs and flat-screen TVs don't have the channel buttons on them! Some have them but ridiculously small or they put the buttons in places which are hard to see and reach for aesthetic reason.<BR/><BR/>Also, now they have this universal remote, meaning you can programme all your TV, video, DVD, Astro into ONE remote."</I><BR/><BR/>Hehehe... now I am really embarrassed! I guess my example above wasn't very good. I really need to learn about all these stuff!... arghhh!!<BR/><BR/>The fact is that I am not very crazy about TV. Frankly, I hardly ever watch TV at home. The 21" Sony I have must be about 10 yrs old now! Someone told me recently that I can get a good huge one with a budget of RM5,000-RM10,000. That doesn't sound very expensive; I should buy one. I'm sure JJ would love daddy even more, because she'll be able to watch <I>Mariposa</I> on a bigger screen.<BR/><BR/>But then again, maybe I should delay for a bit longer. Who knows by a stroke of miracle, I can win one of those big treasure hunts and bring home huge TVs!...

We will surely survive—I have no doubt whatsoever!<BR/><BR/>But many of us are taking things for granted, don't we?<BR/><BR/>When we want to change the channel on the telly, we would turn the whole living room upside-down to look for the damn remote. We have forgotten that we could simply walk over to the tv to do it manually.<BR/><BR/>We "can't" sleep at night when there's a powercut, because we are used to having the air-conditioners running. <BR/><BR/>Oh! yes, we will survive! It just feels like we won't.Corneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049388322332876859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8760307254603261893.post-70259575585800704492008-07-07T12:27:00.000+08:002008-07-07T12:27:00.000+08:00Thousand years ago, people survived without houses...Thousand years ago, people survived without houses to live in.<BR/><BR/>Hundred years ago, people survived without cars or buses to move around.<BR/><BR/>Now can anyone survive without any of these??<BR/><BR/>peterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8760307254603261893.post-73315593229960681982008-07-03T13:59:00.000+08:002008-07-03T13:59:00.000+08:00Phones are like pennis, cant live without it now :...Phones are like pennis, cant live without it now :)<BR/><BR/>CheersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8760307254603261893.post-3811136292695792332008-07-03T09:39:00.000+08:002008-07-03T09:39:00.000+08:00My statement is supported by a few of my IT whacko...My statement is supported by a few of my IT whacko friends who have tested all the networks on wireless connectivities and statements on broadband speed upload and downloads in various parts of Malaysia - both East and West. <BR/><BR/>Cheers!<BR/>kok sengUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870655356281810288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8760307254603261893.post-63697776160773120142008-07-03T09:36:00.000+08:002008-07-03T09:36:00.000+08:00No wonder I couldn't contact you and kept getting ...No wonder I couldn't contact you and kept getting the message "Network busy".<BR/><BR/>Well...ditch Maxis!!

I looked at my cellphone and true enough the line is dead again. <BR/><BR/>Damn!Corneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049388322332876859noreply@blogger.com
