4 bloggers, 8 hours.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster WTF.

Well usually for me at least because I am totally not a competitive person and when I know other people around me are being extra competitive I get freaked out and go out of my way to be un-competitive -_-
But I wish I were this time because it actually sounds like a lot of fun!

Four bloggers will be locked up by Astro in conjunction with their B.yond PVR roadshow on 5 June for 8 hours from 10am onwards.

Astro B.yond PVR is a new technology that Astro is introducing soon which will solve all your TV problems wtf. It will:
• Enable you to record your favorite programs on Astro if you’re at work or class, stuck in traffic jam, fighting with siblings or parents over because they wanna watch tv when your favorite and highly anticipated show on HBO/MTV/dan lain-lain.
• Enable you to rewind parts of your favorite program if you saw a very romantic moment that you wanted to rewatch so you can go “awww” again (which is what always happens with me!!!). Or if the villain that you’ve been hating for episodes finally dies a spectacular death and you smugly want to re-experience the glee you felt at his demise!
• Enable you to pause your program because you have to take a break cos the chili pan mee you had for lunch suddenly decided to have a party in your stomach.

Imagine the possibilities! Even better if you could implement these functions in real life.

If I could record a moment in my life it would be the entire two weeks I was in the US recently!

I was always grumpy about being at Mt Holyoke so I was grumpy about staying in the US in general but now that I DON’T live there anymore I really appreciated it when I went back!

So I wish I could have recorded a lot of moments there so I can show everyone how kind and interesting a lot of the Americans were 🙂

Oh and if I could rewind a moment in my life and do it again it would be my graduation when I went on stage to receive my diploma…
And I walked the wrong way off the stage and ended up having to climb over potted plants to get off the stage and missed having my photo taken by the official photographer T__________T

After it all wtf.

Anyway basically the four bloggers will be locked up to fight it out, reality tv show style in order to win themselves an Astro B.yond PVR set!

Not sure what kinda stuff they will be doing… but since it’s TV entertainment related, it’d be funny if they had to like act out or recreate their favorite TV show.

But what if someone’s favorite show was Girls Gone Wild WTF.

OK kidding *hastily

Or or since PVR enables you to record, rewind and pause, it’d be really interesting if the bloggers’ challenge was to record and cut out scenes from any program on Astro and put them together to make their own film!

Or maybe they just wrestle each other to win…

But whatever it is sure entertaining because the four bloggers are Red Mummy, Eiling, Eyeris and Beautiful Nara
Not sure who would win also cos tough fight lor I think!

Both Eiling and Redmummy are both strong empowered women and I have a feeling they can both get quite competitive and might just go all out to win!

(which is seriously what you need to succeed in life lor too bad I don’t have it wtf)

But on the other hand Michael (from Eyeris) and Nazuwan (from Beautifulnara) also both damn charming and smart so cannot look down on them either.

(pictures stolen from respective blogs)

Dunno la! But I think Imma vote for Red Mummy cos I think she’s super capable and determined. Hold a proper job, blog like a gazillion times a day, take care of her children and still look very well groomed and polished all the time. This PVR challenge should be easy peasy for her.

Anyway stay tuned to their blogs, Twitter and Facebook accounts on 5 June to find out what happens! Or you can also head down to Midvalley and get a front row view of the drama 😀

Or to win yourself a PVR set, go to www.facebook.com/astro and BE A FAN Like the Astro page to join their contest starting from tomorrow! Just tell Astro which moments in your life where you wish you could have rewinded, paused or recorded to stand a chance to win!

  • BOOOOHOOOO WHY YOU NOW SUPPORT MEEEE….. :-((((

  • Crap, I meant NO support me. Sympathy vote fail.. hahahah

  • haha… I am into some serious trouble this time. Should have just stayed at home and sleep.

  • Er …. no offence at all yeah Audrey, I love your blog but I don’t agreed with what you said about the “new technology”

    The “ecord your favorite programs on Astro” has already existed for years. My grandfather does it daily with his dvd recorder.

    And the other two points you made is nothing new, nothing a dvd recorder or cd player cannot do …

    And that line you said, “Imagine the possibilities!” Well, those possibilities …. already …. exist.

    So yeah. Not impressed with Astro B. and PVR from what you wrote above. Still love your blog though =)

  • 2nd line, 2nd word is “record”, not “ecord”, accidental mistake while copy pasting ^^

  • oh. new technology? sounds cool. can’t wait to hear feed back from the market.

  • aiyoh who to support la all friends, susah!

  • eyeris: this was written before i knew you were in it!! 🙁 ok i secretly support you WTF

    eiling: haha nooo u would be so fun to watch through the plexiglass 😛

    karyn: haha its ok! i think i forgot to mention that with PVR you can record two programs and watch another program all at the same time. that sounds pretty revolutionary to me cos ive never heard of any other device around that can do that 🙂

    isley: hehe ya…let’s see what everyone says 🙂

  • KY: that’s why! i say red mummy but now i feel like supporting eyeris WTF

  • YAAAAYYYYY!!!! 😀

  • Oh no. Red mummy gonna get angry d. Haha!

  • Dvr is cool 🙂

  • Audrey,

    Astro are playing catch-up. Being able to record two programs at once / pause, rewind, fast forward live tv / auto record shows have been available in the UK for years now.

    Nothing new there, and over here we’re now moving towards 3D broadcasts, whereas Astro are just introducing HD.

    Good blog though!
