Yup, it appears like a new addition to my list of so-called "toys" but it's not! And yup, it's actually a replacement...
It's a replacement for our very old JVC mini CD player cum tuner in our room. And yup, in early June, that ole unit appeared to have reached the end of its useful life! It kinda KO-ed ever so suddenly one fine day...no warnings whatsoever! Just died on us.
Now that was a really good set. It cost us RM1k plus then. It was even used in one of Tom Cruise's movies. Years ago. So it was felt any attempt to repair it would cost at least a couple of hundred if not more! Worst of all, we wondered if there were anyone around who could repair it nor find the parts available eg should it be some proprietory chip...?
So an unofficial "hunt" for a replacement started. And a simple, functional & affordable (to a poor ole pensioner) unit first caught my eyes at our local Giant hypermarket. Only for RM 299. And it was a more up2date unit c/w even a DVD player! Not just a CD player only like the old one.
As the timing (financially) was not right, we had to wait. However, when we went again, the price shot up to RM399! In just about a week. Phew!
Then on 17th July, 2 of the same units were on an offer shelf at Tesco! Without any hesitation, me grabbed one! Haha!
Here it is....the Haier MDV-809U, a DVD micro system supporting DVD, DivX, USB, Kodak Picture & Karaoke functions c/w AM/FMTuner!
The second pic shows the bottom section that has a panel which opens up to reveal the USB port and the 2 Karaoke jack terminals. Sitting on top of the unit is a "newcomer" to our room...a "sense & spray" air freshener unit by Glade. Sprays only if it senses any movements in the vicinity & only at a minimum 30 min in-between! Convenient & economical. Cost? More than the usual auto-air freshener units though. RM26.90. Refills are at RM12.90 each. We chose the "Lavender" fragrance.
Was it worth it? Yup, the usual "sour-sour" smell that one associates with an "inhabited" room has completely disappeared!! Now a fresh Lavender fragrance greets us each time we go into our room. Nice.
Well, life has been pleasant with entertainment completely back to like normal in our master bedroom once more...& especially so now with a freshly fragranted atmosphere...
Have a great weekend, everybody!
