Paramore
Thursday, October 21, 2010, 8:34 PM

Paramore. okay let's do this. obviously I'm late with this post. sortta like 5 months late I guess. oh wells at least I've achieved my progress by this. hopefully. lol
so paramore paramore! gosh what memories I had . the gig was pretty wicked and epic. but before we head on over to the concert. let's start from the beginning. How did I get tix to the concert? as usually I like to gamble with my luck on ticket winning and most of the time/ not all the time / I get them and its that easy. there's always online competitions at the very late minute for major gigs and concerts. twitter keeps me updated and what not. so I'm extremely blessed to be chosen as the winner for the malay mail contest as well as junk magazine!!! A huge thank you to both media based articles about paramore and of course twitter for the prompt info. I don't really have a strategy to win. I just go in real raw and me. I do what I did and won .
soon after , I received a message from the malay mail. as shocking as it sounds I basically went ape shit and danced all over the place like a silly money. and then Junk mag announced the winners list and viola . scored twice. I wasn't really in high hopes for getting the tickets since I know paramore was a huge band and all, but honestly I'd rather see maroon5 or hoobastank or the script or cobus potgieter. no hard feelings since most/all of what I've mention are all boys group ehehe. but I've had a run for my money by even mentioning that since the gig was a huge hit with crowds in malaysia and of course I myself was sucked into the paraworld too .
collecting the complimentary passes - I had to take a day off from school since i had to attend the prize giving for malay mail at tune talk, the official sponsor for paramore live in malaysia. not that it whould be a good excuse to skip school and all . hahah true story. went searching for the darn place with my mom and thankfully found the head quaters hidden behind jaya one. was just in time for the prize giving too hahah. the bonus to everything was having Jason Lo present the prizes to the winners . Like how fucking awesome is that right?! I didn't expected a single thing but woah a local celeb thats wicked madness! Being a music fan myself, I'd prolly looked like a retard when I saw that Jason Lo was there standing with a full camera crew of people from the malay mail. It was freaking redonkulous!!! mind blowing. epic. immense!
the second part was having the tickets in my hands while receiving a paramore goodie bag from tune talk which consist of paramore's brand new eyes album , a paramore poster and exclusive tune talk merchandise. stoked!!! I thought the tickets I've won would probably be the cheapest ones but in fact, it was wort 168 each. HOW AWESOME!!! we then headed to Junk Mags office at jaya one. and low and behold , the passes was wort 98 each. I went berzerk like my gang whould surely be separated and that sucks. oh wells at least its free so no complains there eh =DD.
The day of the concert, we planed to attend school first because we're good boys and girls heheh and meet up later at bukit jalil for the gig. Jia Jun was feeling pretty sad and wiped out and I was kinda worried cos I don't wanna make him feel worst or missing out on the gig. luckily he was fine. I rained a little but it was no biggie. quickly went home after school, I took a cold shower since I was mad hyper and couldn't stop myself from the excitement haha met up with the gang( jia jun, ching leong and robin) at the stadium at 5 or so and we had a great time chatting about the gig and discussing about whos sitting where .yea about the different passes situation. it was all sorted for when we started to line up and the gates were opened. Jia jun was sitting with me . kinda weird since we are good friends and we don't want robin and ching leong thinking the other way. lol It was so funny that jia jun was hanging on to me cos he was afraid that he'd be lost since he wasn't carrying a cell phone. xDD its funny.
the gates opened , we ran in, basically went over the moon running to find the seats to the nearest possible view . ended up cutting line which I pretty much felt guilty for even at this time five months later lol. I told Jia Jun dude we shouldn't be cutting people's line . we acted cool about it so we just went with the flow. Thankfully found a good place to seat and the mood was set. was hyped from everything . it was madness .
Opening act? dude I can't even remember the name of the act. but one thing I know for sure , it was hella terrible! seriously. I'd rather listen to justin bieber than some shitty local band trying to ruin the whole paramore vibe. crappy . soon after though, the band arrived right on time, when we heard haylie's voice out loud eveyone stud up on the chairs and started jumping and screaming. myself was like what the heck bro. its our national stadium and people are already trying to wreck it. malaysia?! jezz who cares right. me and Jia Jun ended up standing on the chairs too. I feel bad afterwards looking at the crooked stadium chairs. oh wells.
favorite moment? I'd say the only exception!!! haylie told everyone to take out lighters or our cell phone, anything that glows and wave it about. gosh what a scene it created. I was amazed by the lights on the massive crowds of people . glowing under the moon light. WICKED SICK! that was probably one of the highlights of the night for me =))
favorite paramore song : careful!!! ahhh hot nuggets I love thats song! I didn't knew about it at first but thanks to cobus potgieter , I became such a sucker for that one particular song. jumping on the chairs and screaming my lungs out when paramore performed it. massive massive madness!
favorite band member : I don't know much about paramore and I only know haylie williams so yea. I like most of their songs but I'm not as a crazy fan as hoobastank and all. well you get what i mean. so lets just give this to haylie.
Favorite set, ahhh definitely the acoustic set! it was marvelous. Haylie said she stole the couch from back stage. lol redonk. they preformed well and pretty sweet harmonies. i was impressed.
this screen althought it was pretty small but it helped me get a better view of the stage cos as you can see judging from the pictures, I was considered quite far away.
favorite memory of the show : it would be bad to say the ending but heck the ending was magnificent! like confetti flying in the air and eveything. who whould have thought of that right hahah
after the gig we met up with ching leong and robin outside the stadium . i was all hot and sweaty . yuck! thought i would get a paramore tag as a remembrance and so did ching leong. it cost 10 bucks . like what the bleed is that?! money eaters much!? jesus!!!
I had to be hoest i had mixed feelings the few days after about you know who, its weird . like butterflies but with jelly beans bouncing in your belly. that sortta feeling ya know. it was hella weird. I missed school the other day since I've completely lost my voice. well worth it though. its hard to imagine that in just a few months I'll be sitting for my spm examination and i'm still going out partying and concerts. pretty wicked I'd say hahah .
