Frustration

I just have to let it out. Today we went to Best Denki and bought this 40" Samsung LCD TV (LA40M81BX) for S$2,999. According to the salesperson, this is a higher end model (which we subsequently verified to Samsung's catalog). The freebies?

1a) 19" LCD TV + Home Theatre System or
1b) 26" LCD TV (LA26R71BAX)

AND

2) Higher definition (not the HD type) DVD player (DVD-1080P7).

Don't you think the deal is good? Besides, his dad already wanted to buy a 26" LCD TV for his room so that's a planned spending of S$999. So another $2K and you get a FORTY INCH LCD TV AND DVD PLAYER. How to beat that?!?! We even called Parisilk and they are selling the exact same model for S$3,140. Still have the free TV but there wouldn't be any free player coz that's a joint promotion Best has with Samsung.

We orginally wanted to place the 40" in the living room and get rid of the big projection TV (and have paid S$30 for disposal fee). Gena nag to death my his dad! I think he said at least 5 times "Why we spend $3K?", "Why buy such a "big" TV?", "We earn alot now so spend money like water.". "We dunno how to 'appreciate the cuteness' of money" etc. Even say things like "No need such a big TV (mind u our current projection TV is FORTY-TWO INCHES!!)", "Can watch can already (then why need a 26" in his room for TELETEXT)!!!"

This is all BULLSHIT! Hear already blood really boil!!!

So now we are going to put the 40" TV into our room which suits me fine. Just that our cable points are all at the 'wrong' place.. so kinda headache.
