To date, 30 Seconds to Mars have released three studio albums – 30 Seconds to Mars (2002); A Beautiful Lie (2005); This Is War (2009) and two extended plays – AOL Sessions Undercover (2007) and To the Edge of the Earth (2008).
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.

I have heard a lot of my friends mention about this Meng Kee Char Siew @ Glenmarie and was told that this was the best Char Siew ever, besides the one I tried at Restoran Famous Seremban Favorites @ Aman Suria, Petaling Jaya! Finally I had a chance to try that Meng Kee char siew one fine day!
See there’s even a special stall just to prepare the Char Siew!
Cheong + Char Siew + Chicken = Awesome!
Wahh… can finish or not? Haha…
See the char siew! It’s so juicy and yummy! 1/2 fats!
The special made chili is good too!
What I don’t like is the cucumber! It’s too thick lo… should cut it into smaller pieces?

Yes, it’s been 1 year+ since Naza Kia Forte launched in Malaysia around end of November 2009 and most ppl got their Forte around December 2009 – February 2010 for the 1st batch of the cars. It’s almost a year plus that I know all the Fortezen, it’s all friendly and fun ppl to mix with from all walks of life.
I’m glad that I made the daring decision to get Forte while most ppl around me still very reluctant to get Koren made car because of the past experience of stories, but now it’s been a year plus and more ppl getting more because of the features and reliability and most importantly is the exclusive and elegant outlook of the car designed by Peter Schreyer.
We had our very 1st MyForteClub Annual Dinner @ Carlton Holiday, Shah Alam. It took us almost 3 months to plan out the whole event from end to end, look for a suitable place for dinner, sponsors, etc. It turned out great and most of us enjoyed the night! It’s the great kickstart of the year 01.01.11!

A childrens’ course which is lower to the ground. The young ones will develop hand and eye coordination as well, body balance on the trail. Being in an agricultural park, the sights and sounds is a humongous classroom for them, feeding their inquisitive minds on nature’s diversity.
