Their latest album, This Is War was critically-acclaimed and established the band’s name as a legitimate rock group with the ability to produce catchy hooks with meaningful lyrics. The band has won multiple awards, mostly coming from MTV itself.
Neon Trees
Neon Trees is an alternative rock band from Provo, Utah. The band received nationwide exposure in late 2008 when they opened several North American tour dates for the rock band The Killers.
Not long after, the band was signed by Mercury Records and released their first full length album, Habits, in 2010. Their first single “Animal” climbed to #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Alternative Rock Chart. The song was also performed by the cast of Glee in season two, giving them even more widespread acclaim.
BEAST
Beast is a boy band from South Korea and is made up of six members, namely Yoon Doo Joon, Jang Hyun Seung, Yong Jun Hyung, Yang Yo Seob, Lee Gi Kwang and Son Dong Woon. The group was originally known as B2ST, an acronym for Boys 2 Search the Top but was later changed to BEAST (Boys of East Standing Tall).
Their journey leading up to their debut was documented by MTV through “MTV B2ST”. BEAST’s first mini-album, Beast Is The B2ST, sold over 20,000 copies in 2009. Since then, they have released four more EP’s and one full length studio album. They have also won various awards and gained popularity all over the world.

Summer Ash, also one of the TM Everyone Connects ambassador, was there too. She’s a Pro Gamer and she challenged 3 other younger participants in the game. She’s really sweet and center of attraction of the day! Check out the video below on the live challenge.
Finally iPhone 4 is here! I’m too excited but still haven’t get mine yet, was hoping for the lucky draw but no luck and worst I lost my parking ticket and get to pay the penalty. =(

I came across this Sticky Candy last year at Nuffnang Regional Blog Awards 2009, Singapore. The 1st time I see this and it’s indeed very special to me. I really like the concept of customizable candy! =)

Sticky Candy is apparently a very popular personalized hand made candy brand in Australia. What makes this candy so special? These candy can be customized to what the customer needs for different occasion (Birthday, Wedding, Company Event, Corporate Promotions, etc). They are packed into jars.
Now this Sticky Candy is available in Malaysia! You can find it at 1 Utama Shopping Center. One day I just walk pass and saw a lot of people looking from outside and only notice Sticky is now available in Malaysia too. If you want something special for your wedding, you may consider this?

Last weekend MyForteClub went all the way to Melaka for TT (Teh Tarik). It was our very 1st Road Trip to Melaka. It was fun! I hope all the Fortezen enjoyed themselve in this trip as it’s been planned for quite sometime and hard-work from Benny to arrange for the activities and coordinate stuff in Melaka too.
Wait for the convoy to Melaka @ few different location and have some good breakfast.
Initially the convoy was lead by 1.6 Forte, but later 2.0 Forte cannot stand the convoy speed and become the lead! After that wow, all the Fortezen just can’t slow down and all experienced CARGASM! =p
KFC and me having hard time to catch up coz we need to do some video and photo shooting but it’s not an easy task for both of us.
Our convoy is at 140km/j! Can you imagine that? That explain why we so fast reach Melaka despite we start our convoy a bit later that what we have planned.
Check out this Mat Rempit, he was our truly convoy leader. Haha… he’s so skillful? Did a lot of stunt just and in the same time we get entertain too, luckily no casualty. =)
See our Forte flooded Ayer Keroh Plaza Toll.
After toll we wait for Benny and we continue convoy to Planetarium Melaka for photo shooting.
Then we proceed to Restoran Melayu MITC (Subaidah ) for light lunch.
Then we proceed to friendly bowling match @ Melaka International Bowling Centre (MIBC). The 52-lane centre (back-to-back 26 lanes) is not only the largest in Malaysia but in Southeast Asia as well! RM7 per game + RM2 for shoe rental. It’s kinda fun playing with all the Fortezen and get to learn how to screw bowling ball. haha.
Then proceed to buffet Lunch @ Naza Taliya Hotel Melaka. The lunch was good and it only cost RM12 per pax for adults.
This Roti Cake was done by Kenny for my birthday. He’s really creative and thanks all the Fortezen for singing me a birthday song. I’m so touched! =) Thank you Fortezen!
Then for those who stay over night at Naza Taliya went to check in and found out that Naza actually upgraded all the rooms to a bigger room. So nice!
Then we proceed to Eye On Malaysia for another photo shoot.
This was the natural shoot of the Fortezen and they are so in style!
Lastly we proceed to Perkampungan Ikan Bakar Terapung (PIBT) Umbai Baru for our dinner! The journey tpo Umbai was a bit far and we need to pass a lot of traffic lights!
Our fish hangus! What I can say is it’s not worth to go all the way there just for this seafood dinner. It’s very far and yet the food not that nice as expected!
Thanks to all the Fortezen that showed up and hope you had fun and see you again soon!

Make Your Dreams Come True at Astro Star Quest 新秀大赛 2010
If you think you are as good as the Astro Star Quest contestants you watch on television each week, now is the chance for you to prove it. The much anticipated star-making programme, Astro Star Quest returns in its 14th year with a call for an audition at Federal Hotel, Kuala Lumpur on March 20 – 21, 2010 from 9am-3pm.
Open to all Malaysian aged between 18 to 26 years old and able to converse in Mandarin and Cantonese, this year’s one and only audition will be judged by renowned music industry personalities namely 李伟菘 Lee Wei Shiong from Singapore and Malaysian music producer Alex San. Shortlisted contestants from the first round audition will compete in the second round audition, where fifteen of them will be picked for the preliminary rounds.
Since its debut in 1997, Astro Star Quest (formerly known as Astro Talent Quest), has become a prominent local Chinese singing reality show that fulfilled dreams of many young Malaysians to become successful singers, such as 张栋樑 Nicholas Teo, Gary Cao, Eric Lim, 陈势安 Andrew Tan, Amy Wong, Gan Wan Chean and Choo Hou Ren.
“It has always been our focus at Astro to produce quality local programmes that can enrich the lives of our viewers as well as contribute to the development of the local entertainment industry. We would have missed out great Malaysian talents such as Nicholas Teo and Gary Cao had they not participated in the programme and we are proud to say that Astro Star Quest has provided these talents a springboard to launch their singing and acting career beyond Malaysia,” said Choo Chi Han, Head of Chinese Language Business.
Astro Star Quest has also unleashed talents with different strengths – Danny Koo, Anthony Chang and Jym Chong earned themselves chances to host TV programmes while Lan Kah Fai and Ryan Thoo were signed as youth ambassadors for commercials. Most recently, Astro Star Quest 2009 second-runner up, Chen Keat Yoke starred in the highly acclaimed locally produced Chinese movie Woohoo!, making her a household name instantly.
“Our programming strength lies in the fact that we don’t just discover talents but also continuously develop and nurture the talents by providing different opportunities and platforms for them to hone their skills and talents. This is in line with our Astro Ben Di Quan’s (Local Belt) commitment to develop the Malaysian entertainment industry with a sustainable pool of multi-talented Malaysians,” added Choo.
Apart from a ticket to fame, Astro Star Quest 2010 offers fabulous prizes to the finalists. The top 3 winners will represent Malaysia at the annual International Chinese New Talent Singing Competition, set in Hong Kong, to compete against other talented performers from around the world in pursue of international fame.
