Yup, it's been a long interval since my last entry...
And yup, cos nothing that can be considered exciting or interesting, has happened to Lot 10 inmates...which is kinda good, too. Agreed?
Of course, except for the disaster & tragedy that had happened in Japan due to the huge 8.9 earthquake and ensuing tsunami that had resulted in the loss of more than 1500 lives with still thousands unaccounted for...
Our sincere condolences & sympathy go out to all those who had suffered such terrible losses in lives and property...
Indeed we, in Malaysia, should count our blessings!!
Well, to recap, after we came home to Lot 10 from our longest stay in Penang @ our fav niece's place, I tried to buy from our local auction site a "spare" AV Splitter for our Astro distribution system.
Fyi I had bought one 1 IN 4 OUT Splitter unit from the same seller last month to replace my original MASPRO unit which had become faulty ie one OUT port not working & picture quality in another was bad. The replacement unit has been working fine since then.
This time it had to be a 1 IN 8 OUT AV Splitter unit as I could not find the same 1 IN 4 OUT unit on sale in that website, even by other traders.
However, when this newly bought unit arrived, it was sheer disappointment! Even the power indicator LED would not light up!! On reporting to the seller, I was asked to send the unit back for a working replacement. I did. Then came the "waiting game"!
Like the saying goes.... "All's well that ends well.... " I finally got a good functioning replacement yesterday! Pics (taken much later) below show the new replacement AV Splitter...front & rear views respectively. Tested to be working fine.
Phew...guess my activities in that local auction site would have to take a long breather now...just can't take all that unnecessary "stress"...Another item of interest was that my past interest in Air Purifiers was re-kindled. As is, Lot 10 is experiencing another bout (with more to come...) of very dusty air! Yup, owners of the new bungalows in front of Lot 10 had started doing renovations cum reconstruction of their newly acquired houses!
Moreover, we have been experiencing uncomfortable episodes during our sleep periods...which, we suspect, might possibly be due to the presence of dust mites & their what-nots!
After having some experience of the Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifiers that our fav niece had installed in her home, I decided to investigate & find all relevant info about them. All findings came back mostly positive. Proven to destroy dust mites & neutralise their "by-products" as well as even the capability to destroy numerous bacteria & viruses such as the Avian Flu Virus & the H1N1 Virus!!
So it was that it was decided to get one such suitable unit and guess what? My other half was so supportive and even suggested that "if we want to get one, we might as well get the best possible affordable one"!!
Well, we did! Cost? RM1580. A free gift of a Thermos 1.9L jug was added by the sales person for our fast purchase!
The pics (above) show the unit now sited in its own little corner in our room...the front view followed by the top view. The blue light at the bottom on the front display panel indicates the Plasmacluster (patented) system is activated and Plasmacluster (both positive & negative) ions are being released!
This Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifier KC850E-W is now purifying daily the air in our Master Bedroom! And yup, it's "fresh mountain air" always in our room...and of course, no more dust mites & related problem! Haha!
Another item is thus now struck off our list of "Do's" for Lot 10...many more to go though...
Anything else? Guess I should stop boring all of you at this point...
Lot 10 inmates might be making another Penang trip soon...maybe as early as tomorrow?
A definite trip is scheduled for 29th March to be there in person for my other half's sister-in-law's birthday. We had told her much earlier that we would share her 70th birthday.
A future trip would be in early April...for a stay...so sincere apologies are in order should this Blog be noticeably quiet? TQ...
