Today must have been my lucky day!
Both my vacuum cleaner n TV went up into smoke this morning!
Was vacuuming my room this morning (weekly routine), almost 95% done then "POOF!" Then came the sound of an old walkman running dead on battery.... a final "WHINE" and then SMOKE! Then a burning smell filled the air! faint!
The vacuum cleaner is probably abt 8 yrs old... i guess it's time it retires! Afterall, for the past 2 years esp, it has been working really hard to suck up all the Kitty fur!
Many reasons why I am so Lucky!
1) My room was abt 95% cleaned already!
2) It didnt explode in my face!
3) I was contemplating to buy a new vacuum bag for the model, decided tat it may be time to change a new one after it's long service award!
Then after cleaning the room, I decided to watch some TV. Everyone knows the TV in my room is a white elephant! I briefly counted the number of hours I spent "listening" to the TV in my room, probably less than 10hours. Actual watching probably account for abt 4hrs in total. Is that very little??
Anyway, despite the TV being abt 5 yrs old, the usage is still very little! yet it went up into smoke this morning after 10mins of watching, the only warning is a "POP!" sound...
Alas! having just splurge on the TV in the living room for papa's bday, this is gona be a hefty for me to replace both items for my own use!
nevertheless, TV can wait.... vacuum cleaner cant!! i dun wanna use a cat fur blanket to keep me warm!!
probably will get a secondhand TV bah! best is less than 32", cos it's too big for my room. 26" will be nice but due to economies of scale, a bigger TV may b more worth it!
I have till end Feb to utilise a $100 voucher for a new Panasonic LCD TV.... totally new one is still too much and a bit of 奢侈 (extravagance). Then there is always the IT fair in March.
But meanwhile, searching the Gumtree websites for 2ndhands now... any lobang, please let me know.
