Lifetime Warranty

I mentioned once in one of my entry that my glucose reader was malfunctioned or spoilt remember? Well, I send it in for repair through a pharmacy that I patronise very often one month ago and totally forgotten about it because l thought it was beyond repair. Furthermore it was bought 6 years ago. Whatever warranty that come with it should be long expired. I just send it back to the manufacturer hoping that they can repair it and I'll pay for the repair. Today... when I was at the pharmacy, to my surprise the manufacturer actually replaced my 6 years old machine with a totally brand new set...
Ta...da..da...ta.................!
The latest model somemore. I was indeed surprised and asked the boss of the pharmacy... "Oh..! It is life warranty one arr". So, for those of you who plan to buy a glucose reader, go get a "ACCU-CHEK Advantage". And for those who still own one that is spoiled, go to the nearest pharmacy to have it replaced with a new one.

Just as I was getting all happy & glad with the newly replaced glucose reader, there goes the pair of spotlight at my shop. Both the light is gone after a 'pop' sound. For this, I have no other choice but to have it changed at my own expense. No lifetime warranty... I replaced it with a more economical
ones because spot lights are expensive plus it get spoil easily. I bought a pair of 16 watts night light energy saving bulbs which have the brightness of an 80 watts bulb. Was very pleased with the outcome and I like the its' brightness.

After finished admiring my new lightings, I went over to the TV to switch it on. Oppst... only sound no picture. It is strange how so many unfortunate things can happen in one day. I was too happy too soon (the glucose machine). Other than the pair of 'popped' spotlight, there goes my tv too.
Literally one after another. As you all know, the exact same thing happened sometimes ago at home too. Another big hole in my wallet. So how? I had it replaced with a new LCD tv lor... I wonder when will the almighty up there will start smiling down on me instead playing tricks at me? Sigh...

As I was trying to upload some picture for this entry, suddenly smoke start coming out from the back of the monitor and I could smell a strong burning scent. Can you imagine how panic I was? I quickly turned off the power, and bid my monitor farewell... :(
How bad can it be? Not only I can smell smoke from behind my monitor, I can even smell smoke right from my wallet. Luckily I sent the old tv for repair and it only cost me RM70.00. I planned to use that old tv in my room (the one in my room was striked by lighting too, remember?), and the new LCD tv in my shop. But now because my monitor is spoil, I used the new LCD for my computer instead.
I really can't express how pathetic all these is making me feeling. "Just wonder when will it end". Oopst! sound familar isn't it? I said exactly the same thing when my tv was striked by lightning sometimes ago...
