dead telly

sunday is sometimes my tv day. i would usually watch CSI from 12pm - 3pm, with having lunch, doing the laundry, etc. in between.

after the first hour, i decided to browse the sports channels and then, something happened to the telly. there was a strange click, followed by non-stop buzzing. the picture then looked like it had some strange kind of solarisation effect, with some gaussian blur plus somebody messing up the green and red in the channel mixer. i tried adjusting it, which was when the tv decided to die.

because i happened to be watching the last few laps of the motoGP, i was super beh kum wan and decided that i would try to somehow put SCV in the bedroom where the telly still worked. after a damn fcking long time of extending wires, moving the damn heavy telly, etc., i managed to get the SCV cable into the back of the working tv. that was when i found out that i could have watched the rest of the race on a certain malaysian channel without having to actually go through all that fuss.

of course, the race had ended by then, and i only got to see the winners on the podium.

i don't understand why i went through all that fuss because i am not even a motoGP fan.

so long good tv, you have served us well.

plug it back in, turn off all the house lights, and shoot infrared from a couple meters back.

then upload and report back.
