My 1Malaysia Story
Jul 2nd
Time definitely flies and many things are happening in a very fast pace leaving me in a state where i have to accept quite a number of facts before i could fully digest it all.
Luckily, things have been rather smooth as it seems through out my life that I’ve been around here for more than 2 decades already.
Studying for more than 10 years until now that I came out stepping into the working world, there have been ups and downs every now and then, but I can still remember how I was brought up in back then in school where we were introduced to this vision 2020.
Present. Growing up in the heart of the city Kuala Lumpur, you couldn’t really shout out loud telling the whole world that Malaysia is the most awesome country ever. There’re all sorts of local news being reported each day.
The fact that Malaysia still has quite a large space to improve in the next coming years is made clear through various voices by fellow Malaysians.
Our very own National Day is approaching and i’ve actually done a short clip, one video that shows what i’ve seen through the people of Malaysia, not all, but some, a group of Malaysians that are willing to spend their time getting together and doing the same thing.
Be it for the fun of it or to make more friends, though it may seems stupid and meaningless to some people out there, I personally saw unity amongst the younger generation of Malaysians. (NO i’m not that old!) The willingness to put aside our own priorities to put the puzzles together.
We’re all strangers at first, from different background, barely knowing each other, and it all started off from there.
The many random stuffs we did, the laughter we shared, the cohesiveness between each other where we refer each other as MALAYSIANS, not Malays, Chinese or Indians.
Malaysia is for sure a place where lots of people would love calling it as home and be proud of it. Not to mention the fusion of different kinds of food that is available here in our land!
HOPE? There’s definitely a light at the end of the road. That’s what i believe in.
I love my country Malaysia. =)
Would really hope that you could go through the video below.
ShareAstro B.yond Bloggers Night at Desa Sri Hartamas
Jan 14th


Was at Desa Sri Hartamas earlier tonight attending my very first bloggers event of 2010. An amount of 150+ bloggers were there to witness the awesomeness of what Astro have to offer to the public in Malaysia.

This new package with the name Astro B.yond emphasize on high definition viewing pleasure experience for the public with a limited of just 5 channels if i’m not mistaken where one of it is the Sports channel!
That means that you can really see whether a player is offside as well as a goal is invalid or valid in a soccer game immediately, details of a scene will be captured and displayed on the screen you watch. Some whole new unique experience where you can FEEL it.


Apart from the presentation we get to see in high definition on the spot, there were performance as well as this mystery murder case to solve where one blogger walks away with the B.yond experience for free in the next 1 year.


Teams were formed to solve the puzzle where the winning team who found out the killer will need to fight between themselves to win the ultimate B.yond experience home.
The team who won was : Gareth, Horng, KY, Terence and Eric.


At the end of the night, this fellow Manchester United supporter Mr Eric Yong who spams a lot on twitter managed to kill beat his 4 team members and won himself a 32” LG High Definition TV, Astro B.yond box, new remote control and new outdoor dish along with free subscription to Astro B.yond channels.

All i could say is Glory Glory Man United! Though its really unrelated but nah Haha. Congrats!

High Definition wor, who don’t want it? =D

Launch of DIMENSIONS by Maxis and Astro
Nov 13th
Alright here it is!! Malaysia’s first ever made for mobile sci-fi series. Sounds pretty cool eh? But hmmm, made for mobile? How many Malaysians out there have mobile phones that can view videos?


Anyways, i was at the launch of this very series yesterday night at Sheraton Hotel Kuala Lumpur thanks to Esther Teo of FH Communications for the invitation


So yea, there were quite a lot of cameras flashing around with media people doing their job at the launch.

On the night itself, they showed us the very first episode of the series DIMENSIONS which is limited at 5 minutes per episode for each episode in the series. Here are some info about the series itself.
About DIMENSIONS.
Created exclusively for 3G and Online platforms – Dimensions is an interactive adventure filmed entirely on location in and around Kuala Lumpur. Fast-paced and intense, this 11-episode mobile series and sci-fi thriller reinvents the myths and legends of Malaysia, and lures audiences from the streets of KL into the 130 million year old rainforest that surrounds and dissects it, amongst ancient spirits of animist tales.
So yea that’s about it. I do not know what’s the purpose of this whole thing but it is something new and people always like new things, perhaps it would turn out into something bigger? Involving more stuffs maybe?
Of course we could speculate all kind of outcome, but only Astro/Maxis will know about it then and time will tell.

If you’ve read about my previous post here, then you’ll know there was a lucky draw after that and well, 2 Iphone 3GS up for grabs and it went to 2 bloggers who’s…

…like not so happy about it, the cast of the series are even more happy than them in the picture above Lolx. Okay la maybe they were too shock winning the Iphone itself. Right?

well, it’s obvious that Nigel‘s magic didn’t work that night, rubbing the lucky ticket number on him didn’t work at all. Maybe too much people did it that the luck were distributed evenly among us. Sob. Haha.

So here it is!
To subscribe, SMS ON DS to 22900 or you could visit www.dimensions.com.my to get your eyes on the series itself.

Are you excited about it?
I don’t know about you but for me i’m interested in seeing how would this would “NEW” thing turn out. I hope that Astro/Maxis do have surprises for us then! =)
Cheers!
