Blog Revisited

My last post was 6th Feb this year and it's already Nov. Less than 2 months til 2011 closes its curtain. During those time, I've been transferred back to HQ, in the Training and Research Section. My department is busy with ISMS certification this year. If we succeed obtaining this certification, we will be the first government agency in east Malaysia to achieve it. This will be a great achievement for us.

2012 will be a busy year for my section in line with our ICT strategic plan as we have to conduct a lot of trainings. This might again refrain me to regularly update this blog. We will see about that....

Till then, Happy Hari Raya Haji to my Muslim friends.

Sony Home Theatre And Cash Back

I bought a Sony Home Theatre with a Sony Bravia LCD TV just recently. The old home theatre is already broken when some of its chips was burnt last year. So it was time to get a new one.

Chan Furniture was having a road show at the CityMall two weeks ago. We went there and met one of the salesman, Terence who happens to be our neighbor. He gave quite amount of discount on the Home Theatre and TV. After a short discussion with my wife, we agreed to buy them and made the booking.

After 2 days of waiting, the items were finally delivered to us. They help us to set it up and told us that there is a cash back promotion on Sony's home theatre until 31st January 2011. We have to register online and fill the form ourself. A hologram sticker was attached to the home theatre box which contained the pin number for the online registration.

The next day, I successfully registered online for the warranty period. When i tried to register for the cash back, i encountered problem with the hologram code. It was incorrect. The online form has a fix letter "B" on the hologrom code field but the code i got begins with "T". I called Terence and told him about it. He promised to help. He came in the evening and tried helping with the registration but unsuccessful. He said he will inform his boss about it and will help me further.

The day after, he called me. He said since i have registered it online, he couldn't help me register it. He asked me to call Sony Centre for help which i did. The Sony officer were always busy. I have to wait a while to get connected to the personnel. After a few tries, i finally managed to talk to one of the personnel. I told him about the problem and he checked. He said the sticker given to me was a wrong one and i need to get a new sticker from Chan Furniture.

And so i called Terence again.. He gave 3 codes for Bravia. I tried registering for the cash back again and succesfully done so with the second code. Now i am waiting for my cash back from Sony which is around RM400 :)

Wallet Hunting

My wife has been saying that her wallet was becoming old and dull already and she said it's time to buy a new one. We went to Megalong yesterday but didn't find any wallet that suit her desire. Let's go to Servay she said and as the driver I complied.

There is sales going on at Servay, and one of the item on sale is ladies wallet or purse you might call it. The discount for the wallet is 20% and 50%. Up to 70% discount for handbag. As she was going through all the wallet on display, there was this Chinese "Santa Claus" going around, shaking hand with customers and giving them angpow packet. I think they called him the God of Wealth if not mistaken. Wow, so generous of Servay giving angpow to its customers we both said. I hope he would bump into us later i said and surely enough, he did bump into us sometimes later. I shook his hand and said "Gong Xi Fa Cai, Ang pau na lai". He smiled and gave me an ang pau packet. Filled with joy and curiosity, we opened the ang pau. Expecting at least an RM1 inside, we found a small piece of paper with a 4D number on it. We just laugh about it. Bikin malu saja hahaha...

Eventually my wife bought a new wallet. A trendy one i guess. Shiny black colour outside and pink inside. Like a sumandak wallet :P
