LATEST UPDATE 9TH OCTOBER 2009

This just in. Sony has announced that the official nationwide release date for the Christmas album at the retail stores is now November 9th and not October 26th. This means all those who pre-ordered the album will get theirs almost a month in advance. Please take note.

BREAKING NEWS!!

We have received updates from Sony Malaysia regarding the pre-order for David’s Christmas album. Please read carefully as there are slight changes to the mechanics.

You can choose to participate in EITHER ONE of two methods stated below:

1) Pre-order through Digi Musiclub

A) Firstly, Sony has decided that all pre-orders be directed to Digi Musiclub instead of Sony themselves. This means the pre-order link that will be posted on AAM will direct you to the Digi Musiclub website.

B) The pre-order period will now run from 12th October till 25th October by way of credit/charge cards.

C) Please allow a 3-4 working days period for receipt of CD.

D) Cost of CD is RM39.90 inclusive of shipping and handling.

2) Pre-order through AAM

This is an exclusive privilege for fans who would like to help AAM in raising funds for the victims of storms in the Philippines because part of the proceeds will be channeled to them. Besides that, this method is more convenient for those who do not own a credit/debit card for payment of CD.

Those who pre-order through either Digi Musiclub OR AAM will get the limited edition gift box that comes with the CD. You are encouraged to get your copy ASAP as the pre-order edition is VERY limited, so email us and get your copy today!

FYI : The retail price for the CD is RM 44.90

A) Pre-order period starts NOW till 17th October.

B) CDs to be available from the 12th of October onwards.

C) The method of payment for this is via CASH DEPOSIT -- Bank in the amount of money required into a particular bank account, just like the mechanics for the Pop Album and T-shirts we did previously. This is to ensure that those who pre-ordered do not drop out at the last minute as we need to pay Sony first before collecting the CDs. The bank account details will be emailed to you guys later.

D) After the cash deposit, please ensure that you collect the receipt as proof of purchase.

E) You will then collect the CD from us at a specified location and date – The location and date will be confirmed very soon.

F) For outstation fans or those who aren’t able to meet up to collect the CD, we can mail it to you by post. However, an additional amount will be charged for the postage fees. Please let us know in your email if you need the CD to be sent through this method. The payment for this method is also via Cash Deposit.

EDIT : Confirmed Pick-Up Date & Location : McDONALDS, SUBANG PARADE - 12 OCT, 4.30 to 8.30 PM!

————————————————————————————————————————————————

**Note : The price of the CD is RM40.00, the extra RM 0.10 is because bank policies will require you to round it up to the next highest whole amount i.e. RM40.00. They won’t accept deposits of 0.90 sens.

The extra RM 0.10 will be accumulated and included in the fund for charity to help the people in the Philippines. I hope it’s ok with y’all.

Please CHECK HERE for the branches for Hong Leong Bank in Malaysia.

———————————————————————————————————————————————-

You can also deposit the payment through online banking! (Thanks james_padfoot for this info!)

You can use online services to bank in the money, eg: CIMBclicks, MayBank2U.

Go to 3rd party transfer on your SECURE banking home page and key in the banking details that John emailed to you. You will get a digital receipt. Print it out or print screen. (You will prolly be charged a dollar or two for the 3rd party transaction if you’re not a Hong Leong bank account holder)

STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO ONLINE BANKING (Thanks to the amazing jamesy!)

(This is for Maybank2U. Please find the similar functions on your own homepage if you use another bank.)

1. Login to your secure site. Go to Accounts, Click on Transfer.

2. Pick NEW INTERBANK GIRO TRANSFER

3. Request for a TAC. (If you don’t know what a TAC is, you’re doomed… just kidding. The blue link above the drop down box; click on it. It will send a message with a code to your registered phone number. This may take up to several minutes, be patient.)

4. In the drop down box, select HONG LEONG BANK (OR WHATEVER BANK YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BANK INTO). Click continue.

5. Fill in all the information: Recipient name, IC, account number, amount, etc. Double check everything and click continue.

Please note that you will be contributing to the fund raising by ordering the CD because part of the proceeds from the pre-orders directed through AAM will be donated to the Philippines storm victims  (Ondoy).

In addition to this, other donors have come forward and offered their assistance by pledging a sum of money for every CD ordered through AAM for charity.

Therefore, for every CD ordered, an amount of money will be donated to aid the Ondoy victims in addition to the money that comes from part of the CD purchases. So you will help play a major role in helping us raise funds for the needy with every CD ordering through AAM.

You can email us NOW with your full name as per your I.C., contact numbers and Quantity of CDs. You can get your CD by the 12th of October AND help raise funds for the Philippines. Best of both worlds right? :D

p/s : BIG Thanks to Amy Lau for designing the Lovely Christmas Banner for AAM! :D

    The price of the CD is RM40.00, the extra ten sen is because bank policies will require you to round it up to the next highest whole amount i.e. RM40.00. They won’t accept deposits of 0.90 sens.

    The extra ten sen will be accumulated and included in the fund for charity to help the people in the Philippines. I hope it’s ok with y’all.

    Now here’s the breakdown for shipping and handling:

    1) Normal mail: RM1.00 for postage plus RM2.00 for bubble wrap envelope ( required by the post office ).
    Total: RM3.00.

    2) Pos Laju: RM5.00 for postage and RM2.00 for bubble wrap envelope.

    *runs and hides*

  16. Wait, i think this link is better…

  17. HECK, I DIDN’T EXPECT THE VID TO POP UP!!!

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

    *runs away forever*

  18. OMG That is so cute!!!! Also you got him to flail. A+ for you. =D

  19. Awwww~ cute interview yvette! XD

    Omygosh, if David was doing that (explaining the weirdest stuff…) in front of me, I’d……………….. (dunno what I’d do)

  20. “I love your mouth~” XD

    And OH MY, someone tried to kiss his face??

  21. Yan: why do you think i kept avoiding eye contact with him/or even looking at him at all throughout the whole interview? XD

    I DIDN’T WANT TO LOSE FOCUS, LET ALONE PASS OUT.
    LAST THING I NEEDED DURING AN INTERVIEW.

    *sigh*

    I suck.

    Wait a sec, I’m supposed to be in hiding…

    *runs away again*

  22. Eve .. anymore hidden videos?? hehehe! Great job!! Truly an opportunity of a life time .. even Natalie wished she was sitting on ur chair :-D D

  23. Yo Eve :-)

    That was a pleasant surprise! Bet you really wanted to um….kiss him dincha? Cmon speak the truth and shame the devil hehe

  24. I just wanna know whether u’ve received my order email. :)

    So the retail price is 44.90, not 39.90 is it? That’s exclusive of postage charges right?

    Since I’m definitely gonna have it delivered, when would it reach here? 2-3 days later? That’d be 15th or 16th? Haha sorry, I’m excited. :p

    Thanks.

  25. John – Actually, I was so, like, STUNNED BY HIS VERY PRESENCE at the time it didn’t even occur to me to want to kiss or hug him, lol!
    But I definitely wanted to follow him everywhere and just STARE… and drool… and touch his face to see if anything that perfect could actually be real…
    … and i really wanted to smell him again, too.
    *sigh*

    … I CANNOT BELIEVE I JUST WROTE ALL THAT DOWN.
    *is dead* XD

  26. #Eve

    You were turning red during the interview. Haha but that’s okay. I feeeeeeeel youuuu. I don’t think I can even stand on my own two feet if I were to have DAVID ARCHULETA next to me. Lol

    But your questions were really good. Cause u made him doing all those funny gestures and expressions and that’s TIMELESS. :)

  27. Debb

    Yes we have received your email.

    The retail price of the CD when it’s released nationwide on the 26th is RM44.90 exclusive of shipping and handling. No gift box either.

    Shipping thru normal mail takes 2-3 working days.
    Pos laju will deliver overnight. It’s basically a courier service.

  28. EVEEEE!omgosh u and david were so adorable in the interview!!! XD u barely looked at him and i can understand why hehehehe!!Great job girl! SO CUTE!

  29. where can i get the teddy bear that David is holding in Anne’s profile picture ?

  30. Daniel that’s Tortoro a character from a Spanish cartoon. If you’re in the US then I’m sure you can get it over there. Malaysia won’t have it.

  31. Daniel: ah, you meant Totoro. I wonder where I can get one too XD

    Eve: You remind me of me. ehem. when David was in front of me. in the showcase. I couldn’t stare at him. even if I wanted to. I was focusing to just stay sane. Haha XP

  32. Thats very cute…

  33. Totoro is actually a Japanese anime film.. I’m sure some stores have it.. like MiniToons.. :)

  34. # John

    Oh okay.
    U mean, I won’t be getting the limited edition gift box……………?

  35. Anne : Do you have your profile picture in big size ?

  36. Daniel : it’s David’s twitpic. Here’s the link http://twitpic.com/ahk3e

  37. Eve>> ur the freakiest luckiest person in malaysia!!! lol…haha….!!! XD

    12th of october!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! come fast!! hehe… :)

  38. Debb

    You will get the special edition if you order from us.

    Thank you AAM, I can see your dedication in helping the Malaysian fans, thank you so much for everything!

  48. I was just wondering…. maybe one day Melodies of Christmas will become a classic like all the other Christmas songs too! Wouldn’t that be great? :D

  49. Lynn : it’ll be soooo cool :D

  50. Hi AAM Team,

    Just like to inquire whether do I need to include in the pre-order via email that I want the CDs to be delivered by pos laju or let you guys know later?? Thanks.

  51. Hey all :-)

    I’ve sent you guys the bank account details so please check your emails.

    Also there are updates for shipping and handling from Pos Malaysia, please get the latest info on this page.

  52. aKang

    It would be better if you state whether you choose delivery or pick-up as we would require you to deposit the right amounts for either of your choices.

  53. Can i use Online Banking (Cimb Clicks) to deposit ?Its kinda hard to find Hong Leong Bank in Shah Alam , and i’m still very busy :(

  54. [...] go to Archuleta Avenue Malaysia for info on the pre-ordering of the Christmas album. The period order period has already started [...]

  55. Hey all :-)

    Sorry if some of you have been having trouble making cash deposits thru the ATMs. Not familiar with ATM policies as I havent used one in decades lol. I keep my money under my bed hehe.

    Apparently you have to deposit cash in denominations of 5,10,15,25 ringgit etc. The dang machine won’t accept denominations of 1,2,3,or even 4 ringgit.

    In this case you may have to deposit the money thru the teller at the counter. Kinda leceh I know, so very sorry for the inconvenience :-)

  56. Daniel

    This is the Shah Alam branch for Hong Leong Bank:

    No. 3, Jalan Takal 15/21, Seksyen 15,
    40000 Shah Alam, Selangor Darul Ehsan

    Daniel, im not too sure if online banking is possible..havent done it that way before..

  61. Hi John, received the email and will do just that really soon. Just out of curiosity, how will AAM channel the donations to help the victims in Philippines? :)

  62. Cashed in my payment today! :)

  63. Jamesy to the rescue: (LOL)

    1. Yes, you can use online services to bank in the money. CIMBclicks, Maybank2u. Go to 3rd party transfer on your SECURE banking home page and key in the banking details that John emailed to you. You will get a digital receipt. Print it out or print screen. (You will prolly be charged a dollar or two for the 3rd party transaction if you’re not a Hong Leong bank account holder)

    2. You should have no problem of depositing the money if you use 100, 50 and 10 ringgit notes. Seeing as the CD is a nicely rounded up number, you should have zero problem.

    3. Anyone unable to make it on the day, if you live in Subang (and maybe Shah Alam Seksyen 27-25 ish, idk) I will help pick it up for you. We can prolly work sth out.

  64. Just transfer RM47 to the Account for payment via CIMBClicks , AAM , do you receive the confirmation email ?

  65. Jonanthan, through the local Red Crescent.

  66. anne: ermmmm…im facing tough time!!! my parents are like asking al kinda questions….!!! tey like can we trust this guy n bank in the money!! my god!! i seriously duno wat to do!! fr tat….can i have the person ic num n full name!??? i mean the person who im goin to bank in to!! plzzzz….urgent!!! :’(

  82. My! my! you guys are life savers here! See how the fans are desperately asking for your help and guidance!!! Wooooh! Plzzzzzz!help!!!

  83. Hey all :-)

    Just to clear up some doubts over the banking account details:

    The reason we decided to use the particular account is because we felt that it would help ease the concerns over conflict of interest that may have cropped up if we had used any of the mods bank accounts for you to make payment. We thought that an independent third party account was the better way to go.

    The holder of the account is a very close childhood friend of mine. He and and I have been friends practically all our lives so there’s absolutely nothing to worry about. I even use his gmail to redeem iTunes giftcards. Eunice will confirm with me on this.

    So please rest assured that everything is above board and that your money will be honestly accounted for.

    Thank you so much for your support guys. We really appreciate it. :-)

  84. Tilashini

    Please check ur email. Hve sent you some details.

  85. owhh ok…tq…erm…tom wil b the las date to bank in the amount izit??

  86. Tilashini

    By Friday morning would be fine as I need to get all the transaction details from my friend.

  87. Dear Tilashini,

    Calm down!!!!! Don’t panic about the payment stuff! John and the others will give you good instructions. And don’t worry about being late.
    You are not late in ordering the album.

    If your parents don’t trust AAM mod then the best way is that you wait unitl the cd is out, and then you go buy it from Sony directly! You can buy many more copies. Your parents will be very pleased and feel safer this way!

    Problem solve????

  88. Yes, I can testify that John’s childhood friend is very helpful and generous!!

  89. errrrrrrr……ok…il do watevr it takes to get the CD….!! john: il try to bank in tom…. hehe…. :P THANK U so much!!! u guys r rely life savers!! :)

    4. In the drop down box, select HONG LEONG BANK (OR WHATEVER BANK YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BANK INTO). Click continue.
    5. Fill in all the information: Recipient name, IC, account number, amount, etc. Double check everything and click continue.
    6. You will be asked to key in the TAC number. Type it out from the SMS, and click continue. You will see a status notification (success or fail), along with the details. You can also email the details using the form to AAM’s email, or just inform them you’ve made the payment.
    7. Remember to print out your page, or print screen.
    8. YOU’RE DONE!

    Hey, has anyone noticed the parallel reality between David and Clay Aiken? I mean, Clay’s second album was a Christmas album too.

  159. Denissa, your comparison made me laugh, but I’m going to behave like a good little child. =D It’s all good, though imo, David’s voice is far more superior in this context (in any context actually, but ymmv).

    ONE MORE DAY. OMG HOW AM I GOING TO MAKE IT THROUGH CLASS ON MONDAY?

  174. can we get the promo cards if we’re not going to subang? like deliver the card with the cd or something? :D

  175. Rachel and all

    The card is packaged together with the CD. So whether you opt for pick up or delivery you’ll still get the gift card.

    update: oops my bad! Didn’t see that the promo cards is specially designed by Debz our doodle queen :-) Ok in that case Rachel and all, we’ll see if we can get these cards to everybody. No promise though. We’ll try our best.

    The pick up time has been changed to 4.30pm so as to give you guys the chance to be at Subang Parade earlier especially for those who may not want to be there so late. But please do not panic if you don’t see us there at exactly 4.30pm.

    I’m going to take a chance and post my contact no here in case you need to contact us: xxx-xxxxxxxx.

    But please do not ‘harass’ me unnecessarily if you don’t see me or any of the mods at Subang Parade ok? :-) So if you arrive at McDonalds earlier than us please wait patiently. We will be there unless some other circumstances prevent us from doing so in which case we will update you by phone.

  176. Hahaha…. and the harassment begins….. :P

    Kylie

  177. Woooooow!

    This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice, we will rejoice and celebrate!

    Have fun guys! Take alot of pictures and videos. Please tape from the beginning til the closing time.
    And then post it here for those of us who aren’t able to attend…..Please!!!!!

    And John is giving out his personal contact number!!! He is really risking his identitty for David’s sake. What a trooper!!!!

  178. HI John and Kylie,

    Has my sister called either one of you yet?
    I emailed your phone numbers to her a week ago.
    Please hold on to my preoders.

    Thanks for doing this for us!!!

    Enjoy your dayyyyyyyy!

  179. Melvin, if you see this msg, please try arranging with James Padfoot (scroll up for her posts) regarding the CFTH cd collection.

    Kylie

  180. Aww man. It’s too bad I can’t make it… I’ll be missing out the fun. :(

  181. No offense to any Clay fans buuut puh-leze……there’s absolutely no comparison! :-)

  182. Hey, why the comparison? Nothing to compare about.

  188. Are you guys calling off early from work today?

    What a better excuse…..to distribute the cds to enjoy the cd and to have a great get together time. Maybe, someone can bring along a cd player and play the Christmas cd while waiting for the pick up. What better promotion time ya!

  189. Eunice lol :-)

    You’re more excited than the lot of us!

    Will wait for Angie’s call then.

  199. Thank you John, Anne and Kylie so much for all that you’ve done…the songs in the album are all so awesome…mum waited by the door waiting for me to reach home with the album… LOL~! In fact, great album to be a Christmas gift this year…gonna try to infect my uncles and aunties into Archie fans. Cheers!

  200. Hey all :-)

    Thank you one and all for all your support. It’s so great to meet up with you guys again since we got together at the showcase in April. It was so good to gush over David and his music together after all this time.

    Now it’s time to enjoy our early Christmas gift to the max :-)

  201. Jonanthan! Good to see you again! Mom is the greatest :D She’ll enjoy it. It’s a very good classic christmas album, not a pop christmas album. heartfelt and reverent of what Christmas is about.

    Song that took me by surprise most is Pat-A-Pan because David Archuleta sang in French!!!!!!!! I didnt expect it.

    Melodies of Christmas has lots of potential! Loved the incorporation of familiar carols here and there. And in essence, it’s what David always say about Christmas songs and the season.

    All the high notes!!!! I take my hat off to DAVID ARCHULETA.

  202. Hey fellas!!!!! You forgot mine!!!!Hahaha!!

    Wait til I get mine before you post all your gushings! Ok!! just go ahead and spill your love for David lah!! Afterall he is the one who swept us off our feet with that angelic voice.

    I have several hours before I get my hands on the cd. Will join you folks once I get hold of it.

    Have an Archuleta Christmassssy day!!!!

  203. Yes Kylie…Good to see you again. :) Pat-A-Pan came to a surprise to me. First time, I thought I had problem understanding English since I couldn’t figure out what was he singing. LOL~!

  204. I’m lacking in the French language but people commented that David’s pronunciation in Pat-a-pan was really spot on! Ahhhhhh…imagine him singing a French love ballad….lol, the poor girls.

    Kylie

  205. We still have a second round of CFTH pre-order for Ondoy cause! So email your order to

    archuletavenue@gmail.com

    Kylie

  206. Hi Kylie,

    David can sing in any languages, he has perfect ears for music and languages!!! Wait til he sings some BM songs. Some one should have taught him some songs in BM the last time he visited KL.

  207. Lol Eunice, we WERE already visualizing him singing in Chinese, Indian and BM last night in our spazzz partay….although westerners usually have trouble perfecting these 3 accents. Still the girls listening to David singing “WO AI NI”, hahahahahaha. Can you hears THUDs, Eunice?

    Kylie

  208. Important message from Valerie Browne! Twitter Trending Partay!

  219. Can I go to Subang Parade today and pay to you? Then I go back to Parade to get the CD tomorrow. It’s technically paying in advance. My parents are overseas. So, I can’t pay via the bank.

    Thanks!

  220. Darsh

    we’re not in Subang Parade all the time, that was just for the 1st batch of pick ups.

    can you get some other adult to help you with the banking details?

  221. Dharsh, but we are not at Subang Parade today? The next pickup location, date and time is not confirmed yet. Are you living in Subang area?

    Kylie

  222. Oh yes, guys, please also write reviews if you prefer this route, hahaha. We will collect them for posting.

    Kylie

    Thanks

  230. Yan, same account as the 1st batch.

    Kylie

  231. Alrite. Thanks Kylie :)

  232. ahhhhhhh…im loving it!!! listen to it where ever i go! :) xcept school!! hehe….!! “wo ai ni” david!!! haha… :P

  233. hey all :-)

    just got news that the limited giftbox version of the CD is TRULY LIMITED. So if any of you are still considering ordering the CD please email us your orders NOW as you may not get the beautiful gift box if you wait longer.

    Hurry! :-)

  234. what can i do if my album has a crack on it? :( not by me as i just received it this morning at 9am.

  235. Rachel

    what do you mean by crack? On the CD case or the CD itself? Probably during the handling by the post office.

  236. on the CD case.

  237. HAI…..HAPPY DEEPAVALI TO ALL DAVID’S FANS!!!! :D

  238. Happy Deepavali everyone!!! Rachel,so sorry to hear abt the crack on the CD case…aih thats the problem with post offices ><

  239. hai anne! buat tak tahu je!! lolz….haha…. :P

  240. aww, racheleta. that’s the danger of getting it mailed. my jason mraz cd was cracked too when i received it in the mail. well you could always take out the cd cover and the back and put it in a new cd case. although it may not feel entirely the same, but at least there’s no crack across the album cover / david’s face. :P

  241. Hey joyce that’s a great idea! :-)

  242. Joyce, what a great idea!!

    Hi Racheleta, Joyce suggestion is the best resolution!!At least David’s face is saved!!!
    Or try to use some kind of super glue to glue the cracks together! Not sure if that works! No harm trying!

  243. oh my.. I hope my CD case won’t crack.. >.<

  244. ohh thanks alot joyce for your suggestion. i’ll try getting a new CD case :D or maybe eunice’s way? lol idk haha i’ll try. anyway thanks a lot :D

  245. Wow…it got cracked??? Oh dear…another reason why I hate Pos Malaysia. Oh yeah…my CD hasn’t arrived yet? Seems like everyone has received theirs. Did it get lost with PosLaju or something?? =O

  246. Hey anyone have any idea whens the next pick up date?

  247. Pui Yee

    You asked that your CD be sent through normal mail rite? So maybe that’s why it hasn’t arrived yet. Even pos laju within KL sometimes takes 4 days to arrive!

    Gwen and all

    We’re compiling orders for the next round of pick ups. Should be within the next few days so for those of you who have placed orders please make payment ASAP and email us once you have done so. Otherwise we will not consider your orders for the next pick up.

  248. John, good morning!

    Has my sister contacted you yet?

  249. Eunice

    Yes your sis and I have talked over the phone. She will arrange to collect the CDs from me in November as she’s rather busy with work now.

  250. So I should make payment before this weekend?

  251. heya every1!!!
    long timee!

    is the CFTH preorders still available?
    my dad only saw the ad in the paper and he suggested i get one…when he said the previous 2 weeks dont get it… confusing dad :D

  252. Yen

    Gwen
