Few weeks back, I was one of the few selected bloggers to do some shooting to promo Astro B.yond @ Desa Park City. What we required to do is just to tell our new year resolutions and comments on Astro B.yond HD. The environment at Desa Park City really nice and breathtaking.
The video man & crews! They are a bunch of funny and cool guys. They shoot Ho Chiak too. Haha.
This is how the setup for the Astro B.yond TVC shotting that to be published thru youtube, it did showcased to some 200 ppl that attended Astro B.yond Bloggers Night @ Modesto’s.
Yo! Yo! Yo!
Here’s the final production of the Bloggers’ New Year Resolutions and Comments on HD. Actually I have recorded few new year resolutions but maybe too bad that they took it away from the final video. Anyway it’s a cool experience of seeing myself in HD @ Astro B.yond Bloggers Night.

Last Sunday, a bunch of Forte owner and soon to be owner were gathered at Kluang Station Waterfront Desa Park City. It was a nice Sunday morning where everyone would like to ZzZZzZzzzz more but I sacrificed for my love, Forte. Gathering started from 10am-1pm, so I need to get up around 9 plus which is like a torture for me as Sunday not a working day and supposed to sleep till noon and till the sun beam my butt only get up. Haha.
When I reached Kluang Station there’s no one there… and I don’t see any Forte at the front or Car Park 1… so I was wondering am I at the right place for the gathering. I’m a soon to be Forte owner and the reason I join in this Forte Owner TT was that I would like to meet the owners and get some feedback, comments, tips and check out the lovely Forte in a big group.
So I thought maybe those Forte were parked at the Car Park 2, so I walk to check it out and was happy to see so many Forte parked there. The view was awesome. So colorful as there’s White Forte, Titanium Silver Forte, Bright Silver Forte, Spicy Red Forte, Black Forte… Really wish my Forte was with me =(
Then we had a Chit Chat / Teh Tarik (TT) session at Kluang Station and yeah all the Forte owners were really friendly. Awesome bunch of ppl. Some asking about Car Tinting (AirCool, 3M, SafeTint, TintMaster), Car Rim (16″/17″), Fuel Efficiency, Car handling, PPS / Sierra Glow (Additional layer to protect car paint) etc, but it’s really a nice catch up with everyone. We try out the heat at all the different car with different tint after the car parked under the sun for quite sometime and I actually don’t feel much different between tinted and the non-tinted Forte! =p
Then we start to camwhore with the lovely Fortesss! Check out the camwhore photo below…
Check out this White Forte After Glow… Isn’t it awesome? Also the Naza emblem has been replaced with KIA emblem.
This Spicy Red Forte is very unique as not much ppl own it! Cool? =)
Check out the owners!
Check out some of the comments from the Forte Owner.
Comment by Phelix :
for me, forte is really comfort car, NVH is good.. on par with civic. FC wise really depends.. this car gives good FC when u r on highway.. as low as 6l/100km.. but when u stuck in jam… FC increase slowly.. i see it from 8.6l/100km increased to 11.2l/100km.. despite about resell value.. forte gives best of bang.. guaranteed.
maintenance wise.. most of them choose synthetic oil but i go for mineral.. performance wise slightly better (u can feel it after u serviced ur car, try it.. haha).
and overall till now, after my friend viewed my car only give thumbs up.
Comment by Julian :
1. Why did you choose to buy the Forte?
Its an excellent-value-for money product with many great features and very importantly its safety features. Oh yes..its got the looks too, super cool and sleek design! For the money I’m paying, this Forte is definitely worth it, if not more. It’s just brilliant, a class on its own! In short…its beauty, style and power which is my Forte.
2. What do you like most of the Forte?
Can i say there’s nothing I don’t like? Hahaha… I love the Push Start button! It’s so cool! And, the overall design and safety features. When I took my Forte home for the first time, my good neighbour came over and gave it the 2-thumbs up! Makes me so proud of my Forte. To be honest, I’m no car enthusiast, thus, car engines and the works are like rocket science to me. Hahaha… Thus, I’d like to reserve my comments on these but from what I read from the reviews, forums, etc.. However, I’d like to add that after having this ‘baby’ for 1 month, I’ve no doubt about its performance and drivability.
I still remember when I was young in primary school, I saw a hot air balloon flying around KL area and it written “Astro” on the balloon, that time I have no idea what was that and years later I’m a Astro subscriber and enjoy watching Astro. Haha.
HD? Apa itu HD? “Hou Dim” in Cantonese ah? Haha… It’s High Definition la. You will be seeing this term everywhere when you go to look for LCD TV / Plasma TV.
ASTRO today launched ASTRO B.yond, a multi-phased innovative service starting with the first ever High Definition (HD) broadcast, setting yet another new benchmark in Malaysia’s broadcast industry.
High-Definition is the latest in a long line of major improvements in television technology, which has moved from black-and-white analogue to widescreen colour digital over the last 50 years. With High-Definition, viewers will enjoy approximately five times the detail of standard definition television broadcast.
And now, Astro B.yond, Malaysia’s first High-Definition broadcast, brings you a complete sensory experience – sharper pictures, more vibrant colours, cinematic surround sound, and a wider screen. Combined, it gives you crystal clear details and a viewing experience like never before.
On HD content, ASTRO will show three key genres that are recognized as HD content drivers globally – sports, movies and documentaries. ASTRO will start with four HD channels – ASTRO Supersport HD, HBO HD, National Geographic Channel HD and HISTORY HD on 18 December 2009, followed by ESPN HD in January 2010. Sports fans will also be thrilled to know that they can soon watch FIFA World Cup 2010 in HD. ASTRO plans to roll out more HD channels, including local content, in 2010. I love drama and hopefully Wah Lai Toi Channel 311 & AEC Channel 301 will be the next HD Channels!
To experience Astro B.yond, you will require a brand new set-up, which consists of the following:
* 1 Astro B.yond Box
* 1 Astro B.yond Dish
* 1 new Smartcard
* 1 new Remote Control
* 1 HDMI Cable
As an Astro customer you can exchange your current Astro decoder to experience Astro B.yond for FREE. The above mentioned set-up gives you access to your favourite channels in High-Definition for an additional monthly service fee of only RM20. Kindly note that these High-Definition channels will correspond with your current subscription package(s).
