Those of you whom didn’t manage to get the book previously, this is your chance! I’m sure you’ll enjoy reading the book. It’s very inspirational & I’m sure you’ll learn something from David’s experiences.

Basically they told us three things:

1. Sophomore album released in September (September what?)
2. Keep voting for Something ‘Bout Love on Radio 913 and make it to #1
3. Keep requesting on 987 FM, Power 98 and Class 95 (Class 95?).
4. and they want to know how big our fan club is.

Before I could reply them, I need to know how many fans of David (Random: David calls us ‘Fans in Singapore’) there are in Singapore.

According to this, there are THOUSANDS. But of course, not all of them knows about us.

According to the Facebook page, there are HUNDREDS. And I’m surprised to see so many David Archuleta Singapore groups/pages on Facebook. Do you join them all?

Count yourself in as a SG Archie by registering yourselves with us! (There is a tab with “Join DASG“)

Invite your friends to this site, and ask them to join!

We never know what Sony Music Singapore actually wants to give us fans….or oh wait maybe it’s to count the gift David wants to give especially for his fans…..and how’d he know who his fans specially are from Singapore = fan club of course!

-wink wink-

…………..If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I’m talking about this:

As you all know, David is recording a brand new album as we speak. There is no set release date yet, BUT David is already cooking up ideas to create a special fan package! What better place to find ideas for a fan package, than from his fans! So he wants to hear what YOU, the fans want in this potential special fan package to be available only here on DavidArchuleta.com.

Here are a few of the ideas. Please pick one of the ideas as your favorites, and post your choice in the comments. If you have any other suggestions, please leave those as well. This package will only be as good as you make it, so go nuts!

Along with David’s album you can also get (choose one):
1. A Nylon Backpack
2. Summer memories corkboard
3. A Mini Locker Poster
4. A Scrapbook or Box for Summer Memories
5. An engraved photo frame

Or maybe we could get posters

Heh heh Eunice and Sheryl.

Count yourselves in!

Anyway random much. Remember the “Back home! Meet Katsu and Tsuki” vlog?

I was rewatching it last night. Tsuki is so cute I’d like a cat like that.

I have a sister as weird as Jazzy. I love Jazzy. Heh heh heh. My sister wants to name her cat Katsuki (lol). What would THAT mean.

BTW if you haven’t realised. We have two new tabs!

“Radio Requests” will be updated when I find out more info on these radio stations…to vote for SBL, of course!

“For Piano Lovers” is exclusively DASG’s, by our very talented Sheryl who covers David’s songs by ear. She even provided chords for us to play with! Yay. Great for people like me. Who knows where the keys are but can’t play them. -_-

I think it’s time I add on our “About Us” section who’s blogging etc. Still figuring out how to add the “By Author” on post-by-post. I’ll do that soon.

2. Win a signed book by commenting at Idol Chatter

The publisher of David Archuleta’s Chords of Strength memoir, which comes out in a few weeks, sent me a couple of autographed advance copies to give away. If you’d like to be interested in being considered for one of those copies, say so in the comments section.

Full Article: Idol Chatter

The Pathway of Hope was launched last year to help raise money to fund a new school on the property of Rising Star Outreach. David Archuleta fans from all over the world purchased bricks as part of the fundraiser. What a beautiful testimony from fans worldwide.

Each brick will be hand engraved! Each brick is made from granite (which is inexpensive in India and very durable) and each brick is beautiful, just look at all the colors, come rain or shine the pathway will be breathtaking.

Trees are being planted along both sides of the pathway which will lead to a larger grove of trees that will shelter a beautiful garden. 125 bricks were sold during this fundraiser (about 100 people bought bricks, several bought more than one), if you know of a fan that would like to have a brick direct them to

From Salamahafifi:

Wouldn’t it be nice when we’re driving in Singapore and we spot a car (or two) with a DAVID ARCHULETA bumper sticker? This has always been my dream (what a funny dream) and I thank Stephanie and Danielle for making it happen- bought it for my family car. You too (SG Archies), I hope.

We hope that all Singapore Archies will support us and spread your passion for David here in the little red dot, so that we can possibly bring him back and get him more radio play. Not only that, but you can make a new circle of friends and spazz over @DavidArchie without people looking at you weirdly, cuz we’re all the same!!!

ARCHU-LOVE
KITTY!

P.S. Do follow us on Twitter -@davidasg

I miss you! Finally, after months of trying to do stuff about the hacker (yes, DASG was hacked too) and giving up and then now here we are, starting anew with hopefully more sections to the site – Forum, Live Chat Sessions, Membership (feel free to give us your feedback). The new email has not been set yet but you can email us at dasginfo@gmail.com!

WE brought David to Singapore on the memorable April 7 2009 and with your support and contribution, YOU CAN bring David back again! What’s more to ask for than watch him sing live?

While we wait for this site to be fully up, do register yourselves as a member here and start commenting and ‘hang out’ at this very post!

Love
