This LCD Screen TV was actually bought for a "Mystery Shop" purpose at Courts Mammoth. I was asked to pretend like a normal shopper to shop at Courts Mammoth. At the same time, observe and rate the sales person's service level. This is part of our survey objective to improve our client employees service standard.
I am enjoying watching Romance Of The Three Kingdoms by using this TV. However, I have to return it to Courts Mammoth after 2 weeks. Meanwhile, try to watch as much as possible.

Finally, Zhuge Liang enters Liu Bei’s service as his new military advisor. After finding him a place to stay, Kong Ming begins his duty as an advisor.
Liu Bei admires Kong Ming and treats him very generously. Because of the close relationship between Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, Liu Bei’s brothers started envy about this new advisor.
One day, a messenger dispatched from Jing Zhou saying that Liu Biao asked Liu Bei to come. From the messenger, Liu Bei suspected that was because Liu Biao was sick. What Liu Bei suspected was correct. Liu Biao was getting sicker and sicker.
In fact, the purpose of asking Liu Bei to come was because Liu Biao hoped that Liu Bei could become Jing Zhou’s governor after he die. However, Liu Bei refused to undertake such a responsibility.
Zhuge Liang was shocked when he knew that Liu Bei declined the offered. Because that would be a big progress in seizing Jing Zhou. However, Liu Bei cannot forget the kindness of Liu Biao and he did not want to take any advantage over it. His virtue will cause him man hardships later.
Meanwhile Xiahou Dun with his 100,000 men has arrived at Jing Zhou’s border. At this moment, Kong Ming already had a plan with him. However, his only worried that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei may not obey his instruction. Therefore, in order to carry out the strategy smoothly, Liu Bei past his sword to Zhuge Liang and became the main commander of troops.
Kong Ming Shall use the terrain advantage against the enemy. The enemies must be camping around Bowang Slope. After the vanguard, the main army should come along with the supply troops. General Guan Yu shall lead a cavalry and lay an ambush in Yu hill. This will quietly let Xiahou Dun’s vanguard to pass. Guan Yu must wait until the main army come before he could attack.
Then, General Zhao Yun and Liu Bei can attack Xiahou Dun army from the front of Yu hills.
But don’t fight to win, must feign defeat and flee.
This way, they can set up a trap for the enemy. Guan Ping shall lead his armies at two spots and burn the enemies once they fall into their trap. General Zhang Fei shall hide his troop in the forest An Lin and pursue the fleeing troop.
For Kong Ming himself, he shall prepare the banquet to celebrate their victory.
Just as Kong Ming foretold the enemy currently at the Bowang slope and waiting for the night to attack Xin Ye. The one who lead the vanguard is General Xiahou Dun himself. The main army was following him and was led by General Yu Jin and General Li Dian. Guan Yu at his point, let the vanguard go and wait for the main army. After Xiahou Dun pass by Guan Yu’s point, General Zhao Yun attacked Xiahou Dun, feigned defeat and followed by Liu Bei, attacked and fled.
This has led Xiahou Dun trap in the narrow canyon where Guan Ping located.
Immediately, Guan Ping set up a fire attacked and burn the enemy.
Meanwhile, Guan Yu is attacking the main army of Xiahou Dun in Yu Hills. As what Zhuge Kong Ming said, Xiahou Dun shall flee to the forest An Lin.
Therefore, Zhang Fei who was hiding in the forest immediately attacked Xiahou Dun when he pass by the forest.
The battle was finished in just one night. Most Cao Cao’s troops were dead. Their casualties were in tens of thousands. Xiahou Dun was utterly defeated by Kong Ming’s strategy and he himself made a tremendous effort to escape. This was Kong Ming’s first victory. The amazed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei finally bowed down in respect to Zhuge Liang.
However, Kong Ming has yet to fight Cao Cao’s veteran advisors: Cheng Yu and Xun Yu. Can Kong Ming make a plan against Cao Cao’s troop of 500,000 elites using just 5,000 men? A new era has begun as the battle for supremacy in China was transformed into the battle of geniuses.

This month is a very busy month, too many focus group to handle. Hardly to find time to write Romance of the three kingdoms. It will be continued once I free.
Meanwhile, I'm trading-in my previous Kia Spectra to Nissan. They were willing to purchase my car at RM25,000. That was an unexpected amount as other motor-car dealer can only quoted me RM18,000 for their maximum price.
Therefore, I have to say good bye to my Kia Spectra. And thanks to this car for accompanying me in the past 6 years. But I have no choice because the maintenance is too expensive.
Look, this is my New Nissan Sentra 1.6 sport. Just got it last week.
