David Archuleta Fans as volunteers for Children’s Wish Society (CWS)
Do you love durians? Would you like to bless some children while eating all the durians you can?
Here’s an awesome opportunity presented!
We Ate For Charity II is a charity event organised by Children’s Wish Society of Malaysia to raise funds to “bring a smile back to the unfortunate children around us who are in pain and suffering from the illness that has afflicted them.
With a minimum donation of RM10 per person, you can participate in this event and enjoy the bounty of fruits the organizers will be bringing in to you. If you wish to have the collector’s item event t-shirt that’s going to be drawn by Reggie Lee, Malaysia’s famous caricaturist, a simple donation of RM20 or more will suffice. All proceeds from the collection will be channeled to the Children’s Wish Society.
Date: July 5th, 2009 (Sunday)
Place: Subang Parade
Time: 11 am to 7 p.m or until the the durians run out
Cost: Minimum donation of RM10 per pax
Note: The durians are expected to arrive at Noon.
This event came to our attention and we got in touch with CWS enquiring if the fans of David Archuleta can offer a helping hand on the day of the event.
Message from CWS:-
We are short of volunteers this year. If you can organized a group of
10 to 20 volunteers from your group, it will help us tremendously. As
the event is until evening, we need the volunteers to come in two shifts.
eg 10.00 am to 2.30 p.m and from 2.30 pm until the durians run out.The tasks can be anything from crowd control, registration,
manning game stalls, unloading the durians, selling drinks, etc. and
having fun.
We would like to organise a group of David Archuleta Fan Volunteers. If you are available and interested in becoming a volunteer for this event, please email us at archuletavenue@gmail.com as soon as possible with these details:-
- Your full name
- Preferred time slot and duration of availability
Even if you are unable to volunteer, please come and join us on July 5th – bring your family and friends. Spread the word around.
Invisible Children Bracelets
Some of you have indicated interest in purchasing the unique Invisible Children bracelets and if you would like to go through AAM, please email us the following details by Friday, July 3rd:-
- Your full name per IC
- Your full home address
- Your choice of colour – please indicate the “preferred colour” or “none”
You will notice that a set of the 6 different colours cost USD100 (ie USD16.67) which works out to be cheaper than purchasing a single colour (USD20).
If we are unable to co-ordinate the colour preferences, we will be purchasing them as single bracelets.
The actual cost will include the bracelet cost in USD, the shipping cost from US in USD (shared out) and the local postage in MYR - and it will depend on the currency exchange rate (currently 3.57) and total weight shipped out.
Michael Jackson – The Legend
Michael Jackson passed away at 5.21am Malaysian time after he was rushed to the UCLA Medical Centre when he collapsed at his home due to a cardiac arrest.
REST IN PEACE, MICHAEL JACKSON (1958-2009)

DURIANS! Wish I can join you guys!
Will ask my family to go enjoy the durians!!
Look out Missy Red Yoda, don’t eat too much, its fattening!

Rest in Peace, Michael Jackson. I remember listening to & singing your songs with school friends. Your videos were the standards to follow.
Rest in Peace, Farah Fawcett, one of the orginal TV Charlie’s Angels. Never missed an episode.

Yes, rest in peace Michael and Farrah!

What sad news to wake up to! Michael Jackson was a one of a kind entertainer and pop icon – innovative, creative and a trend setter. Many of today’s artists has been hugely influenced by his work. Rest In Peace Michael.
On a brighter note. Yay for durians! If you guys would like to volunteer for the CWS charity, please take note that we want to present ourselves as David Archuleta fans. Therefore it would be good if all of you can wear the t-shirt that you wore during his showcase in Malaysia. We have plans to work with CWS on other projects in honour of David so this is a good way to start our association with CWS.

Lol Eunice, I like durians and it’s not the fattening part I’m worried about. It’s a “heaty” fruit so I cant eat that much or else I feel sick.
RM10 for all you can eat – pretty much worth it!
Come and help out. CWS needs some volunteers. Plus you don’t need to stay the whole shift. Two hours would be fantastic.

OH, then you need to drink some salt water after eating. That helps!! Remember no beer or alcohol! That’s what I was told!
By: eunice on June 26, 2009
at 8:55 am
Just last night I was going thru some of my earlier postings and I came across the one that I wrote on Michael’s best selling ‘Thriller’ album and I don’t know why but I read the post a couple times, slowly and methodically almost as if I was trying to commit it to memory.
Then came the news today of his passing. Coincidence?
By: Archuleta Avenue Msia on June 26, 2009

Hey all! A great opportunity to hang out together if you volunteer at the Durian fest!!!You are the DAvid ARchuleta Fan Volunteers! Wow! what a great opportunity to promote David Archuleta.

By: eunice on June 26, 2009

Email us so that we can get organised and submit the details to CWS early for them to assign the tasks to the volunteers.
Also, spread the word around and invite them to the event.
By: Kylie on June 26, 2009

Yes, I remember that one.
I just heard he sang “Gone Too Soon”, over
at Snarky.
It’s a really nice song. Didn’t know he was singing about his untimely death.
My father loved his songs, eventhough he didn’t understand English.He loved his dancing.
Young and old loved Michael Jackson’s music.
I love the song he sang when he was just 8,I’ll be there.” The first English pop song I heard.
Yes, we lost a legend.

hey guys!!! what is the exactly price of a bracelet?
By: Jason on June 26, 2009
at 9:15 am
Jason,
Based on exchange rate of 3.56…..
If you purchase a single bracelet, it is USD20 each. Then add shipping cost (est. RM10 each) and local postage cost (RM5 each)…estimated cost RM86.20
If you purchase the set of 6 colours (no choosing of colors), the set costs USD100 (or USD16.67 each) then add shipping & postage costs….estimated cost RM74.35
But please note above cost is an estimation only. It depends on currency rate and total weight being shipped out.

I am still watching all the tributes to Michael Jackson! Anyone heard his song,
My childhood”? He composed it. They played a short version of it, really haunting. I didn’t really pay attention to his troubled life before.
Just break my heart to know all the sacrifices he had paid for his fame. This poor soul didn’t have a childhood,no wonder he was so troubled.
By: eunice on June 26, 2009

By: bill on June 26, 2009
at 11:59 am
Bill,
You will miss the fun at the Durian fest!!
So sad for MJ! I really like his earliest songs, when he was little. That was the time I discovered him. But as he grew older, I didn’t pay much attention.
By: eunice on June 26, 2009
at 12:13 pm
I hope one day david will do a cover version of “Man In The Mirror” , gosh i’m still reeling with this sad news

I was shocked at the same times sadden by this news. Frankly speaking, I’ve never been a biggest fan of MJ but I do like his songs and his unique dance moves. He had everything what he want except childhood. Even though there were many people disapproved his weird behavior during the later stage of his life but it absolutely can’t be deny the fact that he is/was a legend and had great influences in the music industry.
May he rest in peace and God bless his family especially his children.
Durian fest? I wish I can go…. but I have flu….. just normal flu not H1V1….. hehe…..but still not advisable to pass the germ around.
Anyway, for those who are going don’t forget to BLAST David’s songs there.

Damania, expecting your flu to last till 5 July (10 days from today). Must be something serious. Hope you get well soon.
By: K H on June 26, 2009
at 2:34 pm
I woke up to news that really shocked me.
MJ was such a good singer and entertainer.
I believe no matter what year you were born in, MJ was part of your childhood, wasn’t he?

K.H. Don’t scare me. I have fever and sore throat. The doctor asked me to see him again after finished the full course of medication. I don’t know why. Hopefully he just want to earn money, not something serious.
My son who studied in one of the school in PJ was told by his teacher not to attend school for 1 week just because he has some normal flu. May be we are over-reacted. I guess.
Well, if the situation allow, I will definite go.
By: Damania on June 26, 2009
at 3:15 pm
Sorry guys, I can’t join you all for the durian fest

Oriane
The bracelets costs US$20.00 each from the source not inclusive of shipping if you buy them individually.
If you want to enjoy a ‘discount’ on the bracelets you’ll have to buy a complete set of 6 different colours which works out to US$16.67 each not including shipping.
BUT if you want to pick and choose the colours for example 2 of white, 1 of green, 2 of red etc you will be charged the full US$20.00 per bracelet not inclusive of shipping.
Hope this explanation helps.

Oh! I’m saddened at Michael Jackson’s passing, my musical icon that I grew up with. I’m glad that I attended Michael’s concert in KL many years ago, so worth it and it sure was his “This is it” concert!! *sob…sob* Rest in peace, Michael! You will be missed!
Wow…David has raised his performances by a notch. This guy sure amazes us! I think the concerts that he attended during his r&r sure helped him a lot. We should THANK the creator of YouTube and those amazing videographers for giving us the total pleasure of viewing David’s full concerts everyday.
THANKS, AAM team for posting the latest videos and latest news. You guys are wonderful!!
