On 7.13PM 13 January 2010, me and Nicole reached Modesto's to attend the Astro B.yond Bloggers Night. First of all must thanks Nuffnang and Astro for the invitation as they gave us a chance to witness the premiere of Malaysia's First HD TVC for Astro B.yond. Including a chance to win awesome prizes!
First met with Aanont. He makes me feel that the event will be formal Perhaps because of "Deal or no deal".
Without waiting Mr. Henry Tan, Chief Operating Officer of Astro gave us a speech after Aanont introduce him. "It is undeniable that bloggers are game changers", said Hendry Tan. I am agree with him =)
Did I tell you guys I like to watch National Geography ? How can I not loving it in HD? Everything will become so detail and fascinating in HD.
After the speech here comes the premiere of the Astro B.yond TV Commercial in High Definition (HD). (Picture thanks to Nicole)
This is the version that I have recorded previously to share with you guys.
Not HD? Thanks to Astro who is on the track of this internet era and uploaded the HD Version of this Astro B.yond TVC on Youtube~!

Besides the TVC, 12 bloggers were selected to share with us about their new year resolution and what they think about HD.
My New Year Resolution is to wish everyone gets better in 2010. That night Modesto's served us Malaysian bloggers a bunch of tasty food to fill the stomach. I like the spring roll very much =)
During dinner we are able to See, Hear, Feel and Experience the rhythmic drums performance performed by the colourful drummers! Yes, we are allowed to Touch our food ;p
"Long live HD! Long live Astro B.yond!!"
After we have fill our stomach, we the present bloggers are elligible to play this on ground version of Murder in the Details game to win the Astro B.yond 1 year FREE subscription along with a 32" LG HDTV~!
We were ought to form a group consist of five bloggers and work together to find the murderer. That time we don't know yet the lady who give us pen and paper was the killer.
This is the tool (Magnifying Glass) given to help us find the clues from the pictures located all around Modesto's.
"The killer is wearing red blood splattered from the murder", one of the clue from the portrayed picture. (Picture credits to ShaolinTiger)
After a period of time, a group of smart detectives (Eric, Terence, KY, Horng, and ShaolinTiger) has successfully found the killer and the truth was revealed.
Apparently the female killer (XinXian) can't withstand his boyfriend(HuaiBin) betray her by having a monogamy relationship with another guy (Robb).
This is the result of a guy betraying his girlfriend for another GUY
We can really see everything in greater detail with Astro B.yond. I used the Astro B.yond HD cursor then found the fly in the pitcher plant.
What would I see if I use Astro B.yond HD Cursor and hover it to the bottom left of this picture? I will find the "Sour Grape" of Eric Yong for winning the game.

1600 Pandas @ Perbadanan Putrajaya Just came back from Putrajaya after paying a visit to the 1600 Pandas exhibited at Perbadanan Putrajaya . The pandas flash mob were supposed to last for two hours but around 11am++ the pandas were being kept back to the rack due to drizzling at the venue. Anyhow, I manage to get some photos for you guys (and myself) haha. I love this location because the pandas were being placed on the carpet grass right in front of the beautiful buildings in Putrajaya. Too bad that the weather wasn't sunny and the carpet grass became muddy after rain. Luckily I wore my Havaianas slipper or else I am in deep shit hahaha. Malaysia local celebrities Jeffrey Cheng 庄惟翔 and TJ 东于哲 were spotted at Perbadanan Putrajaya doing photoshoot and quick interview with the media. I also spotted a wedding couple who did their wedding photoshoot around the pandas. Looking forward to see their photos in the social media. (Share with me if you saw it kay??) Okie now more
