Wow.. thanks so much Seth, I'll definitely let you know. Hopefully that girl will get back to me by this weekend.

Yes, Singaporean Cookies, WE NEED TO LET DAVID KNOW HOW MUCH WE WANT HIM HERE! Someone find his address, let's write him lots of letters, let his management know that he HAS to come here. Let them know how well his songs have been doing on the charts here, how people are line dancing to Billie Jean, and even people who have never watched AI know that David Cook did the ABMB cover on the radio. (in fact, I have a funny story about this - read * below)

Yea, let's plan our trip to Manila. Anyone knows when we'll get details about that Philippines gig? Let's all go together!! haha.. I was checking flight prices this afternoon - we can probably get return tix to Manila for around 400-500 bucks per person. Dunno if there'll be promotions coming up anot, Natas fair is coming up. haha..

*A colleague asked me who the guy on my desktop was, and I told her it was David Cook. She gave me a blank look, so I proceeded to show her some of his performances on AI. She watched Hello, Billie Jean and ABMB. After ABMB she said.. "eh this is the song that's been playing on the radio. That guy who sings this song, yeah, I've heard it before.. Really good!!" And I gave her this look and said "That's the same guy!! That's David Cook, he came up with the arrangements himself!" and she was awed! (She just thought he was performing the radio guy's version. *

Thanks Seth for offering your extra ticket, but yeah I'm not that keen on any of the artists at this year's awards. Thanks tho, and good memory man for remembering the 2002 awards!

Can you guys believe that David's been booked for the Philippines? I'm still in shock. And this is really fast too. I'm so used to waiting ages for any big acts to come close to where we are and now its THE DAVID COOK!

Sign me up for that mass trip to the Philippines! Thank goodness we are hearing this ahead of time so there's time to prepare.

I think there's a possibility he might make other stops here in Asia. I have some ideas of how to "make some noise" so to speak .. haha .. on how to make it known that there is a demand for David here. I wanna run some of these ideas by you guys and see what you think. First I was thinking that maybe we could email the radio stations here about this Philippines gig, give them a headsup and maybe the DJ's will mention this on air, generate more interest. Contact Sony BMG Singapore and ask about the possibility of David coming here for possible gigs, interviews. Can you imagine an MTV Asia interview/show with David? Eeek! I haven't contacted anyone yet, wanted to know what you guys think first about this.. good idea or no?

Just a note tho, if contacting anyone about David, be respectful and don't irritate or harass cos we don't want to alienate anyone in the media.

I was also thinking that we need a wristband that is uniquely Singaporean. What's more identifiable as a David accessory than a rubber wristband! We've all seen the gajillion wristbands he uses. Even pre-idol, it was his thing. I was thinking that the wristband for Singapore could be red with the words "SINGAPORE FOR COOK" in white. National colours anyone? A bit cheesy BUT I think red would be a colour that stands out well. And we can toss out ideas as to what words should go on there.

Alright, those are my ideas so far. Let me know what you guys think. I was planning an early night tonight but look at the Cook news that just came out! Once again David's responsible for my not getting any sleep!

haha yeah yesterday was such a good day to be a Cook fan! ahaha we had so much news, about the record, abt him coming to the Philippines, about his producer (omg i love MCR I am so geeked beyond belief that they are having the guy who did black parade do DC's new record!) I can totally understand you not getting any sleep.

I think the wristbands thing are a great idea. I have no idea how to make/order those wristbands, but if anyone here have any idea.. Maybe we can use it as part of Seth's Sport Your Support campaign as well? It'll be a great way to identify Sgporean Cookie fans. haha.. and if we can get one to him as well, I'm sure he'd love it.

And I'm gonna try draft something to Sony BMG or MTV Asia now. haha.. Who's the concert promoter who's bringing in Daughtry? Maybe we can contact them too?

i don't know about the wristbands and where i could get it...but i could help in making dc tshirts 'cuz i know of this shop that makes shirts and i went there with my friends to make our class tee..
so anyone in on this shirt thing?so that i could start designing the tee and give it to the seller..

and if it's on then i would like your wordnerd no. and title if you have any..or maybe what you would like to be called as...so that i could put it in the tee...and of course, your shirt size..and it will be your own unique tee..cookie-related!!
then we would decide on the colour of the shirt..

but i will only give it to the seller on november...after my olevels...if that's ok with you guys...and probably i would ask the seller whether she makes wristbands or not...if she does then i would do the 'singapore for cook' bracelet..

about the money and stuff like that we would decide about it later, yar?
maybe you guys could pay it to me during the sport your support event or something..

so is anyone in on this?
if you are then post your wn no/title/anything that you want to be called as..
then i will design something and post it here.. if you are agreeable then you will be getting your tees in about 4-5 months time..kk...let me know, yar?...

oh and about the singfest and mtv awards asia, i couldn't make it...i need to do my preliminary exams...dang it..
so wish me luck!!

I know! he is going to PHILIPPINES!

and then I will be so crushed that I still won't be able to see him even though he will finally be in the same time zone.

this is very upsetting!

and therefore, please sign me up for the trip to Manila! lol

*bump*
this thread seems dead during the week....
so im bumping it to keep it alive...hehe

Heh. My apologies for having neglected this thread for quite a while already, as I was too busy at work, and at the same time, being too distracted by other threads here.

So far, the ideas pitched in sound pretty good. Keep 'em coming in! I'll then try to evaluate them by next week.

hey, was just wondering if anything happened to the CookFansSG ACS page... I tried clicking on the link you sent to my email earlier Seth, but I'm just directed to a general ACS page. Thought of making a donation, but I cant find the right page now. I remembered the original link mentioned how much has been collected by the Spore team.

Anyway, I read on the Newark thread that we (team singapore) are doing quite well on the donation collecting part and that has inspired me to contribute as well! Now can someone direct me to the right page? haha thanks!

It HAS been quiet here, how's everyone doing? I'm actually checking the tour threads nowadays just to look out for the MAVID dances. Those two are freakin' hilarious.

im stressed out by the overloading tests and exams and pressures by teachers....
gahh....OLEVELS IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS' TIME!!!!
so im sorry ifi cannot be here all the time hehe...
but just know that i will still be a cook fan at heart...lol

omg i feel like such a spaz. just realised that the link is in seth's signature. i feel so dumb now, so pls ignore my previous post.

how am i supposed to concentrate at work when i keep wanting to check on here for the latest mavidance? have you guys seen the latest one yet? I found a link from mjsbigblog..

MAVIDANCE IN NEWARK

seriously, these two will be the death of me.

Heh. Sorry, my bad for not informing earlier.

The American Cancer Society donation pages had moved to a new technical environment, hence the need for me to update the URLs for Team Singapore's page. With that, I'm pleased to say that we have raised $1,157 for the ACS, and that we're in 2nd placing, with Team New Jersey (headed by Annette) at the top.

On a different note, we can say this time and again ... that the Mavid bromance totally rocks? They never seem to run out of cute ideas on how to spice up the group performance, which is a good thing.

I hope they can continue to keep in touch with each other when all these is over.

I'm positive David and MJ will keep in touch. David seems to be the type that keeps his friends close and he and MJ are very tight. Very cool to have their Mavid bits to look forward to at each tour stop. These guys are HILARIOUS!

Seth, I wanted to ask about the ACS Team Singapore page. Is that in US dollars? If we donate, will it also be in US dollars? And the proceeds go to the AMERICAN Cancer Society right (not anything SG related here)?

For the record, can I just say WOW that you're in second place considering this is in honour of David on the AI tour and the tour isn't even coming here!

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. Singaporeans are awesome. and check this out from the davidcookai7 lj. We're just behind the Philippines in terms of the country which googles david cook the most. I say this is reason enough for cookie to make his way here.

That's cool that we are so high up on the google list! And yeah David, why travel for so many hours ALL the way to this part of the world to only hit one stop might as well hit the neighbouring countries as well, you know, make full use of that cross-atlantic trip!

*waves hello to all you Singaporeans still up at this hour*

Exactly! It's not cheap to travel from the states to south east asia right, so he should make full use of that airticket. haha..

hahaha hellooo girl~* *waves hi to blue_sky78* Gosh it's 1:30 am already? I have work tmr. Goodnight everyone, I should get some sleep.

Yes, the figures shown are in US dollars. When donated, it will also be in US dollars. The amount reflected on your bill will be in Singapore dollars, after currency conversions.

The proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society. I'll still looking to see if some of these can also go to the Singapore Cancer Society right here.

Alamak! When i heard DC coming to Phillipines...i was like...why not Singapore?!
He may have a small population of fans here but we are all die hard for him right...well, if you guys arent, i sure am!
My table in my classroom is covered with DC's pics...not even one cm has not any cookie's face. My pencil box has cookie's initials there.
My phone has over 700++ images of him inside.
My mp4 has like every Cookie's songs in it...
My blog is covered with cookie
My friends call me crazy over Cook...I'm a school councillor so whenever i do my duty, random people come up to me and call me mrs Cook...Cookienah...DC and such. All my teachers know im crazy over cook( except for my malay teacher)
My form teacher ticks my name as Mrs Cook when she marks the attendance...Lolxx...Ain't that enough proof for Cookie to come over to the other wonderful side of the world?
Haixx...i wonder if we could gather all DC fans in SG make up a fan club...thru MSN or maebe even SMS...as in like giving updates of Cookie and discussing about him...and dare i say, make our own DC stuff...like FBT Shirts or hats!!!
Omygod...it just striked me...if we made a Cookie Hat it would be soooo awesome...or we could make a david cook shirt and...ahr...this is just too hott!

Im from Christ Church Sec...anyone here from there?

Dang im sooo excited!

Hi Sharkiedoz, welcome to the thread! Haven't seen you posting in the Spore thread before.

I'm guessing there are actually a lot more Singaporean Cookies who are lurking around but not posting?

omg sharkiedoz...you remind me exactly of........ME!!
haha lol and strangely i am a student councillor too and the exact thing happens to me here too!
and i really hope to design dcshirts for cookie fans here in s'pore...haha....*hint:look at my previous posts*


ok anyone here?....
im currently eating satay made by hady's parents...haha..bought it just now..

convo between me and people who stroll the playlist in my phone.

"what song is this?"
"david cook's."

"what song is this?"
"david cook's."

"what song is this?"
"david cook's."

"what song is - err, never mind."


(:

I haven't been here in a while! Finally finished rushing my essay assignment

Hi Sharkiedoz! *waves*


WOW this is awesome No excuse for him not to drop by Singapore!! LOL


I just checked and congrats Seth on reaching your goal! I want to donate but my mom's the one with the card so I gotta ask her first

LMAO!!
well, i tried not to have too many dc songs in my phone...but they usually occupy most of the space in my mp3..haha

Heya missymarsie! Teachnically speaking, i posted in this thread long long ago...at the front page actually. Ahhax...well, i do know that there are quite a number of SINGAPOREANS lurking around here, yet some of them haven't discovered this thread yet.


LOLx...we're verie much alike, yea? Im just wayy excited at the thought of us weasring a DC shirt to school. This would boost up Cookie's number of fans to loads. When he knows he has loads of fans here, he may even spare a visit to Singapore...its almost like a huge wonderful chain.

Woo! My grandma's buying for me Chicken rice...can't wait...*stomach grumbles**stomach grumbles*


Lolxx...exact same thing happens to me! But then...i think most of my friends had enough of my addiction of cookie.
Well, guess what, now, they keep on listening to Time Of My Life and Always Be My Baby.

I have another friend who has major addiction on soccer player, Fernando Torres. Both of us have addiction problems and we never stop talking bout our idols!



Ahax..shyeah! Just had a performance at Innova JC for National day rehearsal...i play the percusiions..after the whole majulah singapura performance...i played Always be my baby percussion chorus..woo! Awesome...then my friends were playing the continuation of always be my baby through french horm, bass clarinet, trumpet, clarinet and flute! Awesome much?

That is way cool! I would love to hear how it sounds like with all those instruments

Seth, hope you had fun at the MTV Asia Awards!

Missymarsie, did you end up going?

haha oops my bad

I just got home from eating an extremely unhealthy meal of bbq chicken wings, bbq prawns, bbq stingray and satay. I think I'm gonna have to fast for the next week.

Anyway, I went to the Natas fair today and got some brochures for Manila. Lots of 3D2N packages inclusive of accommodation and airfare for arnd 500-600 bucks. Pretty steep eh?



Nope, as I mentioned earlier, I ended up gorging on all those unhealthy food.

*gasp* so are you planning to go there??
me want too!!me want too!!
me want to see dc...

haha of course I want to go! Only problem is getting leave. It's during the CNY hols so I'd prob only need maybe one day of leave. But it's in January, and that's my busy period and there's an unwritten rule at my workplace that we can't take leave in Jan-Feb. I'll have to figure something out..

YIKES! That IS pretty steep. I asked my cousin about flights to Manila, he runs a travel agency, and he confirmed its around $500+ for airfare. Good thing we have some time to plan and most importantly save up!

YEAH man. For that price, I can probably go to Krabi and back, TWICE. Why is it so expensive to go to Manila? (off topic, but Bali's pretty ex too. I need to start growing a money tree, or something)

Torres is hot.! Family fans of Liverpool. my dad & bro watch the match while i watch
the guys in the match. hahha.

how cool, ABMB on percussions. (: in class, i have what i call The Symphony (i.e. guys
who think they can sing but really are tone deaf) seating behind me and they sing ABMB
on off everyday. imagine breaking voices of five guys attempting the falsettos. -.-'"

ohmygosh, you guys are seriously going to manila?

Ahax...it sounds cool but what sounds even cooler is when the NCC commander and Ace the Place guy scolded us for not leaving the place...still, there were some residents enjoying the 1 minute performance ahhax!


Lolxx...speaking of fasting...the fasting month is coming...*hint*hint* Guess, i won't be able to gorge on Famous Amos Cookies for long!

Omg...the price is wayy too ex! I don't think i'll be able to catch him in phillipines tho...hopin' just hopin' that he'd come to SG.


Lolxx...another Torres fans...have you heard the Torres song? My friend has been singning it almost everyday.
Just yesterday we saw a guy wearing a basketball jersey number 9 and my friend got all psyched and hyper. But then when the guy turn around and look at her...his plaqued, crooked teeth were blinding her eyes while his oily skin was glinting in the morning sun.

The Symphony...yea i get that alot in class too. My class only has 5 boys and has two foreign exchange students from Vietnam...Here's a brief descrip about both of them:
Vo Chi Trung
age:16
HOtt...has rosy cheeks like Torres and has pale skin like Cookie, Nose like Torres and smiles like David Archuleta...a mixture of odd bits but all so matched together.

Huy
age:16
Cute...okaes okaes one.
Very gentleman!

Both of them are 2 years older than me n he rest of the class.

Well, there is this guy in class, name Zoel...he has a reeeely bad voice...n he murders Cookie's Time Of my Life...
Hmph..todae, i flipped upon last weeks Digital Life and saw Cookie's face in top ten songs
His TOML was number two...and there was one of his pictures there...this brightened up my day, id sae.

I had no idea we had a team for the ACS donation! I had earlier on donated to another team but I've just made a donation under Team Singapore!

YAY !!!



I love you!!! kekeke



i want to go SO BAD lor

omg...don't remind me of fasting, please...gahh how am i going to concentrate on my revision for my 'o's when all the while my stomache's grumbling??lol...so anyone of you people watching the hari raya 'sinarlebaran' concert?...me not planning to...
too obsessed over dc to care about anything else except for studies &family&friends..lol


just watched MTV asia awards on mtv..kinda boring for me..

haha YAY Jess! I swear DC's bringing out the generous side in all of us. The things we do for this man..

and yes.. Fasting. Coming up in a month's time. Wah, means quite a few of us Malays here eh?

I've just listened to some of the Axium albums for the first time. yeah, I'm pretty slow. But oh wow, I LOVE INCARCERATE! Why have I not listened to them earlier?!?

for Team Singapore?



hope we get in lots of donation!!

Now that I'm back, it's time for me to response to some of the posts...


You did?! As in that stall located at the Ang Mo Kio market?

They make the best satays, that's for sure. In fact, I always make it a point to pop by at their stall whenever I'm free.

Okay, that was slow of me to reply, responding to a 2-day-old post.


Thanks! I had fun there. Wished some of you were there too!

Also, I feel bad for those who didn't enjoy the show, especially those who watched the delayed telecast on MTV.


Heh. My bad for not telling you guys about that.

And oh, thanks to all who have sent in donations to ACS' Team Singapore. Thanks to that, we've raised more than $10,000 ... and the summer tour hasn't even ended.


For me, I'm dead serious about going.

For those who are going, please remember to have a $1,000 budget, which means saving about $250 per month. At least, that's the budget I'm going for, and all these include airfare, accomodations and most importantly, VIP-quality tickets.

Yeah I'm serious too. Seth, maybe we should plan together for all the Sgporean Cookies who wanna go. Maybe that way we can get the best deals or smtg, and we can share information as well. I'm sure none of us wanna go on our own. I was thinking we could liase (sp?) with someone on the Philippines side so that we are constantly up to date with the situation over there as well (concert venue, best place to stay etc etc)

i couldn't afford to go there...i will just wait till dc gets the message from me asking him to perform here.....1 day to go till he gets it...soo excited....

Me lovin u too...n every other cookified person here....after a while in this forum...ive realised that its very homely...and (if this is weird ignore me) ...the more i post here the more i wait for your replies...its kinda getting addictive.


Ahhax...just this morning i was doing my math test when suddenly i big growl came out from my stomach...then everyone was lookin at me and my teacher was asking me if i had to go to the toilet or if i would like a milo or sumthyn...EMBARASSING!!! I just murmured sumthyn...and refused their help...i wasnt that hungry though...maybe i was just hungry for more cookie!

Speaking bout the concert...i haven even heard about n care less about it...so far the biggest concert in my mind is Singfest...next is cookie's concert in Phillipines.

Bouts the mtv asia awards...it sux this year....the only artists im looking forward to there...is click five i thynk. If cookie was there...then evry thing would be pushed up a notch!
shit suddenly my eyes so itchy...*scratch*SCRATCH* OOOOUUUUCH!


Ahahx...im not exactly malay...im quite a mix...what i do know is that im Muslim...
i have cousins from New Zealand with Blue eyes and blonde hair...my great grandpa is from India...My My far relatives are from Arab...my mothers sister id from Malaysia...weird ryte...trust me...u dun wanna hear where the rest of my family is from...

I'm trying all sorts of ways to get the msg across to him as well. comments on his myspace, and i think there is another girl who's going to the concert in kansas city who's collecting msgs from international fans as well. if i'm not wrong, her nick here is ana4dc. wouldn't it be cool if cookie gives a shoutout to his singaporean fans someday? *aahhh one can only dream..*

I love their gado-gado

Yikes a thousand dollar budget for the Philippines trip? Count me out then. A poor uni student here


Wow your family is very multi-racial

Looks like we're in this together. The plan starts now.

I'll also be checking out with the Pinoy Word Nerds from getting the best deals, right down to the full details. We certainly cannot go there, not knowing a single thing!


Ah yes, her. Have you sent your message to her? I've yet to. I'm gonna make this message sound better than the previous one I sent.

I too hope he can give a shoutout to all Singaporean Cookies/Word Nerds. Perhaps the ACS effort on Team Singapore's part could give us the much-needed recognition, considering it had an honourable mention at Rickey's.


Nothing is impossible, Evelyn. Just save whatever much you can.

The thousand-dollar budget is just a rough estimation, if VIP seats were to be included. It would cost relatively lesser if it's normal seats.

Count me in on the trip to Manila. You know what? I'd never have planned a trip of my own to Manila, as in it wasn't necessarily a place I wanted to go to but hey if DC's gonna be there, that's a HECK of a lot closer than the States so I'm gonna be there. $1000 IS steep but Seth's right, that's a bit on the high end, its just to be safe. Collect angpow and Hari Raya money! I also agree that we should go together, safer that way and we'd be amongst friends in a foreign place where we'd be bound to get lost! Or at least, I know I would get lost, not so good with directions over here!

I think maybe when its closer to the date and when more details are revealed, we can ask for help from the Pinoy fans, someone to help out the Singapore contingent! HAHA! Sounds like an olympic team coming in!

One more thing, I REALLY do not think that its a far fetched idea that David might hit the neighbouring Asian countries, including us, where he is clearly popular. I think its a strong possibility but we probably would have to wait till closer to the single/album release when there would be LOTS and LOTS of media coverage and promotion and to see how well the album sells here. If there's enough of a buzz, who knows, it could be a possibility. Makes sense to hit the neighbouring countries since he's ALREADY going to be in the region.

Btw, Jan 29 will be over the Chinese New Year holidays? Does anyone have the public holiday dates for January 2009? Cos its not easy for me to get leave from my work also, even more so when its Chinese New Year, cos then preference would go to the Chinese staff.

Seth, glad you had a good time at the MTV Asia Awards. I didn't even remember to catch that on TV! *smacks forhead* I do remember the one I went to that was in Singapore in '02. FUN but omg tiring!! Stood for SOOOOO long but still a fun experience. Congrats on ACS Singapore doing so well. I'm sure David will get to hear about all of this.

Fareeza

jan 26 & 27 are cny holidays

which means airtickets and hotels will be even more ex

but i want to go too with you all too!

his concert is on 27th or?? because i have to be back on 29th jan for a/cs closing!

i hope i can make it

ahax..tell me bout it...om fasting todae...man cant wait to feast later on...yummx...just 2 more hours to go

Who's the person I should send my message to? Haven't really looked at the threads in detail this past week cos of my mid-sem exams, which just ended today

When I told my mom that DC was gonna be in the Philippines and I wanted to go, she said 'you're crazy'. Don't think I am able to save even $200 a month, so I'll have to assess the situation as we get more details. If he could make his way to our island, that would be more ideal for me and the other students here Also, I totally didn't know Jan 27th was the second day of CNY till you guys mentioned it. So I'm pretty sure that means my exams during that period will end before CNY

I found this

Yeap I've sent my msg to her already. But now that I think about it, I feel like rewording my letter or smtg. So many things I forgot to include.

I'm not sure if 1.4k is enough to warrant a mention from Cookie, since he did mention that there was a group from Blue Springs which raised like MUCH MUCH more. (I cant remember the exact amount, think it was somewhere around 20k wassit?) I also can't remember (my memory's seriously failing me isn't it? ) where I saw the interview, I only remember I saw it recently.

But no matter, jiayou us Singaporeans! I just checked the ACS page again today and we're at 1.4 k now. *woohoo*



You can send your msgs to ana4dc. Here's the link to her profile. She's collecting msgs from international fans and she'll be going to the concert in Kansas City at the end of Aug.



That's not weird at all. I too, think that this forum is really homely. I have to use *ALL* my willpower to not check this forum while at work. (although of course, I give in about half the time. haha)

Hey that's what my dad said to me as well !

Dad: Are you crazy ?? Why the Phils all of a sudden ? I thought you don't wanna go to Manila
(He wanted to take us to Manila in July, but my Mum and I shot the idea down, we wanted to go to Hong Kong to catch the sale..lol)
Me: Ummm..
Dad: What? *starts getting over-protective* You have an online boyfriend there ?? What Widya ??
(that's my real name btw, and the only online friend I know from the Phils is pinkmango)
**nudges to Seth**
Me: NOO ! omg what the..No, there's gonna be a concert for David Cook..
Dad: Huh? Who? (Forgive him, he doesn't watch "commercial-tv")
Me: The American Idol ! *rolls eyes* You know, the voice you've been hearing from my bed/bathroom..
Dad: Ohh..that's the American Idol ? he's good...but..
NO! The Philippines is dangerous right now (something about protests or something)

Anyway, are the protest there dangerous ? Or if you guys don't know, do you have any ideas how to persuade my dad ?

Heh. Thanks!

Not to worry, the MAAs will still have a few encore telecasts for this week.
