Mall haul!!! JB-HIFI AND COTTON ON BODY

Heya!! So i going to the mall is a bit dangerous especially with sales going around and coupon ... so.....

HAUL TIME XD



So if you don't already know i have a YouTube channel and one of my favorite vids to do is Haul... Well I thought it will be cool to switch it up with posting it here on my blog on the stuff i pick up from the mall today.




Ok I'll start with Jb-Hifi which is  favorite shop for CD's and i wanted to take opportunity 20% off coupon to CD's and decided to get a couple on my wishlist that i'll never pay full price for and isn't something I'll usually pick up as i usually wait till the CD's are at $10 or a buy 2 get 1 free sale at JB-HIFI.


So i got sorta a theme here for this mini CD haul... TV soundtracks...yup...so i got 2 Soundtracks for 2 tv shows that really love but usually wont get. 

Channeling my inner gleek in this picture!

First one is not a surprise to you guys as if you don't already known i am a hugh fan of Glee!! 

So i saw this for $12 and after the discount was $10 and I have been eying on this since season 2 (yes guys its been a while... :p) and its Glee Presents the Warbler which apart of the new directions are my favorite glee show choir on the show as they are so different from the new direction and because they sing most of their songs Acapella it just makes them more cooler! They have a lot of awesome songs like Teenage Dream, Misery and Raise your glass!! I really wish they release another warbler album as there  many great warbler songs on the show and that they include songs from warblers other that Kurt and Blaine! 

Also fun fact... If you don't already know fan fiction is one of my guilty pleasure and it also was a big influence to get this album as i just love alot of the warbler fanfict like Dalton and Brother Wes series (2 ultimate fav warbler related stories) and the "musical scenes" in the stories makes me want listen to them more. Yah i am obsess  with the warblers (and they are freaking cute in their Dalton uniform ;D)!

By the way my favorite warbler apart from Blaine and Kurt are Wes (my warbler crush :3 and i love reading fanfict that is about him xD), Jeff ( the actor Riker band R5 is freaking amazing!!), Nick (him leading the warbler in Up Down Girl ...*dead* ^^) , Trent ( how could you not love "bright ball of sunshine" ... Or as Finn will say of the group??? Also
His lines are freaking random XD) and Sebastian (yes i know he is mean ^{{\>£{\\ at times but dang his charm!! Also you have to admit he is a great performer and singer! Btw if he and Santana were not gay I'll ship them!!) 


Ok so this will come as a surprise as the other tv soundtrack is Sonny with a Chance! 

Just a heads up I may be on the verge of being 20 but i love watching Disney (confession... I still watch Austin & Ally and Good Luck Charlie) and hey you're never too old for Disney!

So Sonny With a Chance is one of the best  Disney live action series ( beats Hannah Montana and Wizard of Waverly place) and i freaking loved the series! I was quiet sad when they canceled the series but totally am ok an understandable with the reason. Demi Lovato who is the star of the show is one of my most favorites singer/actress/idol (cant wait to see her on GLEE!!) and she have a couple of songs on this album that i remember enjoying.

Other cast members also contributed to this soundtrack and Allstar Weekends (which is one of my favorite band) even have a song here! So it was sort of worth for me to get it since i have heard of it and love most of the songs. 

It was slightly more pricier than what i am normally willing to pay for a cd ($12 after discount to be exact) but it was on my wishlist since I was 17 and the only one of that in stores so yah... Kinda a impulse buy but i manage to justify it :p


Also random but if any of you are into video games ( I am one of them ;D)  you'll know there is a new PS3 excluseve game coming out call Beyond two Souls staring Ellen Page and seeing this display makes me pump for the game release! Yah just a random pic but i do love video games and i do play them but not own any as i borrow from friends (boy am I in their debt lolz) and I cant wait for thos game to be releasd! Have not been this excited since the release of The Last Of Us (another awesome game that you have to play is you love the ps3)


Now i only got one item from cotton on body (and noooooo its not... You know ;p)


So i got this really nice an comfy jumper... Or hoodie for $10 which is a real steal having  that one of this Hoodie usually cost like $30!

Most of the hoodie were not in my size so it was either this or a pink one that i was not a fan of and Blue is my favourite color its perfect! 
Me "modelling" my new hoodie

Its kinda a bold electric blue in a nice way with Nineteen ninety one written on. Its really nice and comfy so i can wear it when i just lazy to dress up for classes or want to lounge around in my sweats.



 So that's a quick little haul of stuff that i picked up today at the mall. Let me know what you think of this quick little pick ups??? maybe I'll do if more often .

Till Next time

WOW_HD CDs Haul!!!

Heya!!!

So the other day I placed an order on Wow_HD which is a online site that sells CDs, DVDs, books and more.

I have ordered from this site before and liked the service the first time so that's why i am ordering my CDs from here again as i like the service, shipping and of cause the prices.

On top of that, the site is currently having some really good offers like for the month of May 2013 it is having free shipping (usually $2 per item) and on top of that by the time this post is up from FRIDAY 24 May 2013 till Sunday 27 May 3013 (unless it is extended) the site is having 15% off all its items which i say is a good deal!

This is the second time this month the site is having a sale like this and i am quiet glad as i manage to save alot of money from buying from this site instead of from going to the cd shop as well as there were a few cds that i had on my wish list so now is the time to buy.


So i placed an order for 3 CDs and my total including insurance ( 99 cent per order and its optional) after the discount and free shipping came up to $34.02.



Lawson Chapman Square
So this purchase i blame my brother for it... just kidding :P 

But my brother is a fan of Lawson and thanks to him i am OBSESS with the band! 

Quiet recently they toured Asia and Australia and sadly i didn't get to see them in concert as they weren't in my area. 

This CD i have seen in JB-HI FI but if cost like $20 for the normal edition and $23 for the deluxe edition! freaking expensive!!! 

So when i saw this which is the deluxe edition on the site at $11.01 after the discount i immediately click on the cart button as i have been wanting and have heard and love all the songs on spotify.

What's more my like i say earlier my brother love the band as well and being a nice sister it will be part of his birthday present.

Normal price: $12.95
Discount Price :$11.01

The Polar Express Soundtrack

I love The Polar Express movie! Its probably one of the Christmas movie and any sort of movie in general of all time!

I remember loving the soundtrack of the movie especially "Believe" by Josh Groban and if i were to say my favorite singer for Christmas songs it has to be Josh Groban as his voice suits the feeling for feeling for Christmas... if you know what i meant :P 

So anyways this CD i had my eyes on for a LONG TIME  since the movie came out i wanted it to play in the car during family road trips as my family loves playing Christmas CDs on road trips even if its not Christmas and yes we are one of those people who listen to Christmas songs all year round!  

 Plus the price even before the discount is SO MUCH cheaper than at the CD shop which last time i check a was $40 for this one CD!!! (heck my total order is less than that! haha)

Normal price:$9.95
Discount Price : $8.47


David Arculeta No Matter How Far

Now the MAIN REASON i went on the site was for THIS particular CD which is a David Archuleta CD (haha "surprise" ???)

If you read one of my previous blog post about the album review for David Archuelta's new album No Matter How Far i mention i didn't really need the album as i already purchased 2 new unreleased songs from iTunes and have the other songs from the Asian edition of other albums.

However i caved and got the album as it was at such a great deal and is probably the only way i can get it since (if i am not mistaken) its only available in the USA.

Anyway if you want a in dept review of the album click here to check it out.

Normal Price: $15.95
Discount Price: $13.56

Overview: 

I am really happy with my purchase especially the price I paid I saved a good fraction compared to what if i were to by it in stores here in Australia on normal price. 

The site is really easy to use and with the discount and free shipping for the month of May 2013 its a real steal deal!

Only down side is that because i ordered 3 CDs they came in 3 different weeks which is really weird as i thought it will come all in one go.

Anyway the first CD took about 4 days to arrive, the second was a week and the third was 2 weeks! This i find it really weird.

But other I will still continue shopping from this site as my CDs still arrive and they are all in 1 piece! 

Hope this was helpful :)

Heya!

So i have a random collective haul today :))))

Yup it is very random but that's how Rotan Random World roll :P


WHAT I GOT



1) Toys from Big W ~ I usually buy Easter chocolates after Easter when they are on sales and sometimes i will get a few cute toys for myself and my brother (dont judge ! its a tradition :P). so i got a cute fluffy duck and a couple of toy car 

Duck ~ $2
Toy Cars ~ 50 cent each!

  2) So Little Time books ~ I went trough a phrase where i collected this! I still read them but when i am back home as that's where my stash of Mary Kate & Ashely books are. I didn't have this two books in my collection and i have been wanting some new books to read. I found them in a flea market for $2 each

3) I capture the castle ~ I have been eyeing on this at my uni's co-op book shop for a while. The other day they had 35% off all novels so i finally picked it up for $6.45 after discount.

4) Glee Summer Break Novel ~ I got this book at allbooks4less bookshop for $5! back home i have been wanting this for years but could never bring myself to buy it as it's really expensive.

5) The Script Science & Faith album ~ The Script is one of my favorite bands! I dont owe any of their albums so this was a great find as it usually $20++ but i found it in Big W for $9.95! 

6) Gordan Lightfoot Gords Gold ~ This i got from Jb-HiFi for $7 for my dad. I always remember how my dad talks about Gordan Lightfoot and i remember in Malaysia its either hard to find or overprice so for $7 its a good deal
