Wannabe



Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want,
So tell me what you want, what you really really want,
I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want,
So tell me what you want, what you really really want,
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really
really really wanna zigazig ha.


NO, not exactly that kind of Wannabe, but I sure feel like singing it. I'm feeling quite uhmm... ziagzig ha.

MJ has been wanting to get a full HD TV for sometime now. I think it's such a ludicrous idea! Spending AU$4000 on a TV?? I'd be happier spending that on a Chanel bag to be honest. But in the spirit of Christmas, somehow my I felt like giving my guy treat. He's been such a good boy and I think Santa would have to agree with me. So, the planning starts....

After canvassing prices from different shops, we ended up deciding to buy it from Sony. The good side: we get a good discount. The down side: there's no "Interest Free Over 24 Months" sort of scheme. Outright Payment = Ouch!

And of course, the HD TV would do no good with out HD surround sound! Off MJ goes again trying to find the best deal he finds. He comes back to me with a proud smile saying he's found the perfect one for the unit. I smile. He adds, "Of course this needs a Play Station 3 to maximize it's full potential. I frown. I roll my eyes. He further adds, "Now we need Foxtel (Cable TV) too." I walk away.

Well now, everything's in place and set for delivery on Friday. And you know what, I'm secretly really excited about it. Nevermind that I'm not much of a TV person. Nevermind too that I'm not a big fan of video games. In fact, I remember playing with Kuya's Starcraft and I'd scare myself from the game. Nevermind that I plan to do more reading. I'm actually looking forward to getting this monstrousity of technology.
The photo in this entry shows what it will look like. How it actually looks like, I'm gonna have to post a photo once everything is set up.

I still don't want to show MJ that I'm actually stoked about our Christmas gift to each other. But yeah, I'm such a wannabe couch potato.
