Handy with Tools

Remember I said my Ponyo dvd was stuck in my dead dvd player? It is not anymore. :) I managed to get it out by dismantling the dvd player haha. Juliane was watching me with great interest when I was dismantling the player. She asked how come I know what to do. I told her that her maternal grandfather taught me how to be handy with tools. I am glad for the times my father has always included my brother and I whenever he repairs stuff around the house.

What happened to the dvd player? Don't worry, it is not in pieces. I reassembled it after retrieving my dvd lol. :)

Kaput

I was watching Ponyo on The Cliff with Juliane when suddenly a loud "bang" occurred. The TV screen immediately went dark and the lights on the DVD player went off as well. There was a slight plastic burning smell.

Oh XXXX! Did something just got blown up??!! Both Juliane and I looked at each other. I quickly switched off the power plugs, just in case. I checked the electrical appliances one by one. Ok, the LCD TV is still working, the cable box is still working,.. Oh the DVD player had gone kaput and my Ponyo DVD is stuck in there!! Argh.

Looks like my DVD player is gone. I guess it is time to get a new one... hmm maybe I should get a blu ray player lol. See how it goes.
