The Fahimi

Sebenarnya saya sangat beruntung punya istri kayak Bunda yang sangat hati-hati dalam membelanjakan uang. Seperti waktu kami hidup di Dubai dulu, televisi di rumah hanyalah televisi tabung biasa dan tidak besar, ukuran 21inch. Sekarang ini di Bahrain, Ayah kan harus beli perabotan dasar buat ngisi rumah yang akan kami tempati, termasuk televisi. Nah, mumpung Bunda belum datang, Ayah pengen beli televisi model baru lah, LCD atau Plasma. Setelah menimbang-nimbang dan mengunjungi Geant beberapa kali, akhirnya Ayah beli LCD TV Hitachi 32inch. Sebenarnya Ayah pengen beli plasma TV, tapi plasma TV yang ada cuma 42inch keatas. Habis pulang dari Geant, Ayah makan siang di sebuah kafe yang di masing-masing set sofanya disediakan televisi. Televisi yang disediakan disitu kebetulan yang 42inch. Habis dari restoran Ayah jadi mikir,… kok kayaknya 32inch kurang besar ya? Ah, yo wis lah, Ayah langsung tancep gas balik ke Geant, mumpung belum dikirim, dan tukar dengan televisi LG plasma 42inch. Lumayan sih… nambah BD200, hehehe…. Sekarang tinggal nunggu Bunda datang ke Bahrain, trus liat itu tv, trus kaget, trus marahin Ayah karena boros, hehehe.

I’m very grateful to have a wife who is very careful on spending the money. For example, when we lived in Dubai two-three years back, our television was only a small CRT television sized 21inch. Right now, Bunda is not here in Bahrain yet and I have to buy basic household items for our house, including the television. Taking the advantage of Bunda’s absent, I decided to go for an new model, LCD or a Plasma television. After visiting Geant for several times and it took me several days to decide, I bought a 32inch Hitachi LCD television. I preferred plasma actually but the only available plasma television was size 42inch and above. Just after went back from Geant, I went for a lunch with my office mates at a cafe that provides a 42inch television on each of the sofa sets. After having that lunch, I was thinking that 32inch seems to be too small for our living room. Without taking long time to think, I went back to Geant and change the television into 42inch LG plasma television. Now, the television has been fitted to our living room wall and I’m waiting to be scolded by Bunda when she arrived later, hehehe…
