Ketinggalan zaman ( still in 80s technology)

D & I,when it comes to all these latest things like the tv flat screen,Hi Fi system,(you see, I don't even know the names ) the Bravia,Sony,plasma tv & so forth,we are still in the 'stone age' era. We do not think twice when it comes to spending money on food but when it comes to buying all these,we'd take years to decide and by the time we are ready to buy, the things have gone digital.You should see Capt's..Home theatre,flat screen..very canggih.
As you can see, we have 3 or 4 miserable radio cassette players bought in the 80s including the Sony Hi Fi system but now they are only good for station Radio Iban. It's only when the maid comes thrice weekly that the station's moved to the Malay station. The cassette players cannot be used because the cassettes got stuck. Like in previous years Jill would play the music from the computer but this year the speakers are out. I need to ask Johnny to check the speakers. ( not Johnny Leong,lah..Johnny of MPlus Computers)
I don't hear much Xmas songs on the airwaves. By now, the DJs should have started with the Xmas songs. I must remind Mary to play some when it's her turn to work. So yesterday,that was before I went to collect my car, I went to Boulevard with Nel,after tea at Everyday Cafe. We went to the top floor as that's my favourite floor with all the home/household things.
See, this is what I've got. I gave myself an early Xmas present. It costs me RM199..the cheapest... just a fraction of what Capt paid for hers. It 's considered a bargain considering the pleasure it gives me when I listen to the music. It's about the closest thing to getting a SONY product. .surround sound system,jazz,cinema,disco,acoustic... oklah.. except can't play DVD. Now, I must look for Jim Reeves,Bing Crosby & Nat King Cole's CDs because the ones I have of them are in the cassette tapes form.





The 80s Sony Hi Fi system,konon nya..only the radio works.


The computer speaker that just refuses to let out sound.




The old junks in the kitchen only good for Radio Iban/MiriFM.
