Home Improvements

One of the first things that were commented upon for my new house is that we lack a matching television, matching as in big enough and/or those LCD type televisions. I would have to agree to that up to some point. We have a big sofa set, a big television cabinet, a big wall but no big television.

A Sony sale was held at my office and offered to what was told me that were worthy discounts on the offer items. Not having the best knowledge in this area, i contacted a friend who has got several of these TV sets as and when he could find a bargain. With his advice, i made my decision and got a 40" Sony LCD TV plus a Sony Home Theater set. The TV offer comes with a free DVD player.

Since my company have again offered waiver for the supposed RM50 Service Tax, so i decided to bind myself for 2 years for the TV. Another one the things i am doing to put smiles on my family's faces. After making the purchases, there were other special offerings by my company and i got 2 RM20 Caltex petrol vouchers for the amount i spent.

When the TV was delivered, Sony's special offerings were cash back and i got a further RM350 back :p which will be posted to me via cheque 1 month or so after registering the vouchers at Sony's website. All in all, i got a good price and with the vouchers, it made things more worthy.

The sad thing about all that was that Sony held its own sale with other electrical shops and offered an even better Home Theater set with the Rm400 of cash back :( I did some rough calculations and found that i paid roughly the same amount but got a lower end Home Theater set. However i got an extra DVD player. So the give and take was acceptable i suppose.
