Just
One Week Ago, I have attended a spectacular contest, which was the Astro Explorer-On-The-Go Bloggers Contests.
The event was organized by Nuffnang &
Astro and it has attracted the
participation of approximately 50 bloggers because of the amazing prizes offered
in the contest. (Such as Samsung Galaxy S4, iPad Mini, Google Nexus)
And I
was lucky enough to be chosen as one of the participants. =)

What were the nice memories during the
Explorer-On-The-Go event?
Meeting New People (Fellow Bloggers, famous
celebrities)
It’s
a nice exposure for me because I got the chance to meet new people and get to
know more blogger friends.
Here’s
my teammate that day, Janice!
 |
| Me and my teammate, Janice formed the Team15! |
I have
also met a few of my favourite bloggers such as Chuckei,Tianchad and etc.

Besides,
Hitz FM Jin (Jinnyboy) was also there.
He was walking around our assembly spot for quite some time. So I have approached
him and took a picture with him too.
He
told me that he is going to have his next short video soon. Looking forward for it!

The excitement of explorer games
Basically,
the Astro Explorer-On-The-Go contest was
a station-hunting games like those seen in Amazing Race and Running Man. We
were first given with an iPad (but can’t bring back home), and there will be
one pilot (the person playing game) and one co-pilot (the tweeter, facebooker à social veteran). So, I was the pilot in my team because I am
kinda noob in updating social platforms while Janice was the co-pilot because
she could tweet a lot a lot faster than I do.
 |
| Our twitter hashtags that day. #AstroOTGExplorer is the official hashtag. #Team15 is my team's hashtag. Do check it out at twitter if you want to know more about our adventure that day! |
We went
from station to station, roaming around the whole Sunway Pyramid Shopping Complex.
We were given clues via the iPad and was required to find the stations, then answer
one/two questions plus snap some pictures in order to get the next clue. Some
of the clues were kinda misleading and we have to detour from here and there.
Imagine, we have to go from first floor to lower ground floor, then went to
ground floor again for the next station. The stations were scattered at a few totally
different zones. Never have I and Janice ever thought that, walking in shopping
complex can be so tiring~!
But thanks to that, I think I have burnt quite a lot of calories! (Maybe can contribute a little for one of my aim of the year, To Eradicate The "Spare Tyre" on my Big Tummy!)
Eventually,
we finished all the stations and we took approximately 1 hours and 17 minutes
to finish them all.
Delicious lunch at “Delicious” Restaurant
After
the exhausting games, most of us were dehydrated and of course HUNGReeey…But luckily, Nuffnang has provided us with lunch at
a restaurant called “Delicious”.
And
yeah, the food there was actually kinda Delicious!
 |
| The "delicious" Restaurant which fed us hungry people that day! |
(It
kinda reminded me of a scene in one of the Stephen Chow’s classic movies,
whereby they said THERE IS A HOTEL in front of them! And the name of the hotel
is, “THERE IS A HOTEL”!)
Stephen Chow's Scenario!
Here,
I get to know more friends such as Nicole, Alice, Celyx, FlapJaq, Babeboon and Dusty. Of course, I met one of my old blogger
friend, Ridley Jing too!
 |
| Okay..Some photo time! Ridley Jing on the left, Celyx in the middle and me on the right side! |
 |
| Happy Bloggers! |
It was a fun lunch time. We were joking that maybe the organizer would give us a surprise, which was to allow us to bring back those iPads home. (Those iPads which we have used throughout our contest)
Well,
the organizer crews eventually collected back the iPads from us during the
lunch time, so our wish that day FAILED
EPICLY. Haha.
Astro-On-The-Go Booth and Stage Events
 |
| Some mini games at booth area! |
There
was a hiatus between our lunch time and also the prize-giving ceremony. Thus,
we took our time to explore the Astro roadshow there. There
were a lot of booths there to introduce us about Astro-On-The Go and there were
some mini games booth there too.
What
we love the most is the, free camera and printing service there. We took quite
a number of photos there~! ( Camwhore instinct~! XD )
Even
Chuckei also did a selca there! =D
Then,
while waiting for the prize-giving ceremony, we watched the stage performances
during the road show.
There
were many live action performances on stage such as some K-pop dances, Football
maniac dances, Maharaja Lawak, Malay romantic stage play, Classical Movie Pearl
Harbour Live action performances, Chinese Hokkien stage performances, some
Disney character (such as Oz) performances and etc!
Wait..
all of these performances resemble something..They were representation of every
channels provided via Astro-On-The-Go
Apps!

It’s
a good way to introduce this new apps via this event.
At
least, now I get to know what programs I would expect to watch via the apps! =)
Prize-giving Ceremony
Oh!
It’s finally the time that we have waited for! Prize-giving ceremony!
 |
| Grand Prize Winner! |
But
each of us, the “fallen” was given goodie bags to relieve our pain.
So
still feel ok la..haha.. XD
Either
way, I still feel like a winner after participating this event, because I get
to have fun, know a lot of new blogger friends and get to know more about this
cool apps by Astro, Astro-On-The-Go!
So,what was
the best part during this Explorer-On-The-Go event?
The best part is,
I get to know more regarding the
Astro-On-The-Go event via the stage performances.
If you have been
a follower of my blog, you will know that I am a great fans of entertainments,
footballs, movies and dramas. (Browse through my blog posts and you will see my
previous coverage of Kpop concerts, football matchs, movies reviews, TVB drama and
promo tour!)
All of the stage
performances that day have tempted me to subscribe for the apps!
And what’s the
best part is? This apps is NOT ONLY working on Apple IOS System only, It
also works on other devices such as
Android smartphones, Tablets and even Laptop PC!
It’s definitely a
hooray for me because I do not own any Apple device yet at the moment and
neither do I own an Android tablet nor new Android smartphones.
I only have an old
Android Sony W8 and an Acer laptop. Thus, I can still access this apps despite
of my technology lag! Yeah! :D
How do you
foresee yourself utilizing Astro On-The-Go in the future?
And yeah, another
thing is, I am a “runner”. Not those
marathon runners, but a person who often runs around for occasions!
With this apps
available, I foresee myself would be able to utilize it thoroughly!
I am always on
the run to do coverage for events and concerts! Like what I have mentioned in
my previous post, I can still Catch Up
with some of those breaking news or even LIVE sports via my device wherever I
go!
For example, I wouldn’t
miss any of my favourite football matches even though I need to be at other
places sometimes! I can also watch those Astro channels whenever there is a gap in between performances during concerts!
Plus, I am also
always on the run to travel far to Kelantan for my study! There is no cinema
here and I need to share the TV with other students. (there’s only one TV at
each floor of the student hostel). Sometimes, I was not able to watch my
favourite channels.
So, with this
apps around, I would be able to kill off my boredom as I can watch the latest
movies and also “boil” my beloved HK & Korean dramas anytime I want at my
own ease!
*Boil drama à Cantonese
meaning: Watch continuously a drama till you can’t differentiate day and night!
=D
That’s all from
me! Once again, thanks Nuffnang and Astro for the wonderful event!
and
Thanks to those hardworking Nuffies who have been there since the morning until the end of the event!
