Paramore's First Ever Concert in Malaysia!

by Daniel Chiam 

I thought I was early and yet hundreds was already there waiting in line, waiting to be allowed to enter the stadium, waiting patiently to get a good look of their favorite rock band - Paramore.

We all waited in line for hours. I can even feel my sweat all over myself already. This is too far behind. I need a good seat, I had to get to the front and which I did. I got myself the best seat that's available and like thousand of fans there, I waited patiently.

I see people are squeezing each other near the stage just to get close enough to the front. Banners with the band's name. DSLRs, fans t-shirt and most importantly the rock chicks. Over 8000 people was there that night.

"Paramore! Paramore! Paramore!" everyone shouted when the nerves gets to them. As time is almost near, so does the fans' patience. Well, long story short, haha, the crowd goes wild when they saw Paramore coming out of the MPVs.

The stage when dark and when the first string of guitar is being stroked, flashes of orange light can be seen. The stage was being covered with a white curtain and you can see shadows of figures from the flashes of light. Everyone was screaming so loud, cause they know the shadows belong to the person who they have long waited for.

As the band goes into the main intro and the volume is being tuned up, the curtain fall and there they are, the rock band of the year - Paramore! Hayley with her burning hot red hair, Jeremy, Josh, Zac and Taylor performing the song 'Careful' as their opening act.

I really think we have the best crowd ever. Its like a choir performances. Everyone knows all the lyrics to all the songs and everyone just sing for non-stop through out the whole concert. Awesomeness! We jump, we shout, we clapped and I even do a head bang for 'Misery Business'

I'm really happy that they perform a lot of song from their previous album. 'Crushcrushcrush', 'Pressure', 'That's What You Get', 'Born For This', 'For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic', cause I kept listening to The Final Riot! album, which I'm able to memorize most of the song and is able to sing along with the rest of the crowd. It's just feel so good to be able to be apart of the performances, haha.

Songs from the album 'The Brand New Eyes' really puts a high on everyone. It's really a kick of adrenalin to sing along to the song 'Ignorance', 'Decode', 'The Only Exception', 'Playing God', 'Brick By Boring Brick', 'Misguided Ghost', 'Looking Up' - its an epic feeling that I will never forget.

I love seeing how the people are just happy because they are there. High five to each other when a song they loved is being perform. Hugging each other as if Malaysia just won the World Cup. Couple cuddle each other when its slow jams. The waving, the shouting, the screaming 'Hayley I love you!!!!'. That moment is really priceless.

Hayley is awesome. She can really dance and head bang! Josh and Jeremy even perform an acrobatic act during the performance, it was super cool! Super rock & roll! I am truly overwhelm by their performance. My favorite is of course 'Misery Business' as the closing act.

A lucky hulk-like fellow was been invited to the stage to help end the show with the last song. The first thing that he said was 'Hayley I really really love you', took out his phone and take a self picture with Hayley and himself! I AM SERIOUSLY ENVY OF THAT PART!

I am satisfied with Paramore's performances. They are truly awesome and I am super glad that I am there that night. I just wish that I was in the front standing near the stage, and they choose me to go up the stage, and I would be the one saying 'Hayley I want to marry you' and take out my phone and take a picture with her and then I'll give her a bear hug, hahaha.

Oh gosh, it was one hell of a night. I hope I get to save up some money for the next rock concert in Malaysia. I wanted to go for Bon Jovi! Thank God for Paramore and the opportunity to see hot girls from all around KL gather at one place with tank top and short shorts, haha.

A Letter to Mom and Dad

Dear mom & dad:

Another week has passed and yes your son is still well alive ^^. I love you both so much =) Say hi to Davies too. I really wish that he's around with me, at least things won't be so bored with him around.

I miss the car too! Its quite hard to get around anywhere without a transport of your own here.

I really have to thank everyone here who had helped me out a lot. Especially in food-wise. Kevin, Andrew, Sheyvin, Pierre, Ervina, Peter, Yee Seng and Mariana, I'm really grateful to have them around and taking such a good care of me, and even provided me with things that I needed to survive this critical month.

Don't worry mom. I didn't ask them for any money. They are really kind and helpful. Good people too! So don't worry too much as I am really in good hands =)

A few more days to go before I can get paid. I still can't go for fancy foods and drinks but it will help me to get back on my feet. Hopefully I can find another part time job that could be well adjusted with the current job that I'm doing now.

Mum, besar sudah si May-may!

I did sign up for an Unlimited Food eating competition at Pyramid, and hopefully they will choose me as one of the participant. I've choosen the Bubba Gump shrimp eating competition and if I win, I'll get to eat there for FREE for A YEAR! Wahahaha you both know how much I love to eat shrimps and I think its a lot more healthier than burgers or cupcakes. I'm really looking forward for that to come true :D

Well last of all, mom... a blogger friend of mine - Wyne has wrote this in her current blog post.

To My Lil' Cousin, Wendy

Dear Wendy:

I know that you are still too young to read and to understand what I'm writing about, but the main thing is for you to know how much I love you.

I enjoyed spending my time with you. Teaching you stuff. Doing silly things just to watch you smile and laugh. I love it when we just sit there together and watch Disney's cartoon. You have grown so much since the last time I met you ^^

I still remember back then when you first started to learn to talk and kept calling me 'Uuuu Uuuu', haha and how we both always try to do the Pocoyo's run and dance move. How I have to do everything to stop you from crying when you saw your mom and dad is going out for work. I know, I hate goodbyes too.

Now you're starting to call me 'Kor kor Uuu Uuu', haha, sometimes I had to take my time to try and understand what are you trying to tell me, then most of that time your facial expression is priceless.

**'Kor kor' means big brother in Hakka.

I always wonder what are you going to be when you grow up. There's so much possibilities out there and just like your parents, I wanted the best for you. I don't want you to waste your life by taking the easy way out. I want you to be a bold person that's not afraid to explore all the possibilities that this world has to offer.

Be adventurous like your mom. Never afraid to take chances but at the same time she's very wise in making the right decision. Have fun! Yes, learn to have fun. Life is really too short to be depress about everything.

Oh gosh I have so much thoughts about you Wendy. Just like a parents would have for their children, and sometimes we would just wish that you'll forever be the way you are now, and never grow up. Just be the little naive and adorable you. Just let us love you and play with you everyday.

Kor kor can't visit you this week ^^ but I'll be sure to be there for your birthday next week. I love you Wendy and kor kor really love babysitting you! =)

Take care now.

Until the next mail, bye for now =)

My First Ever Moto GP

Yesterday (10/10/10) was my first time ever at the F1 Sepang Circuit for the 2010 Moto GP. I am super excited about it! Thanks to Desmond, Yee Seng and Antonia who made it possible for me. Thank you so much guys.

It was a sea of people at Sepang yesterday. Bikers with their big bike everywhere. Hot babes. Rossi's fans. Photographers. Hot babes. Foreigners. Mat rempit. Hot babes. GP fans. I can't even get a seat for myself at the beginning.

Being Sakae! A Treat from Kevin

Dear Kevin:

Thanks for getting me the job. Thanks for getting me back to KL and most importantly thanks for treating me sushi! I know Zanmai is you favorite but then because of the queue we had to go Sakae instead. I'm still loving it :D

This is my first time ever in Sakae Sushi, thanks Kev! I love to talk but I think pictures are more interesting, haha.

PS: I didn't know all the dishes' name. So if you do, please let me know :D

Until the next mail, bye for now =)

Back in KL

Dear Kevin:

Finally after all the long talk, I am now in KL. I am at Sunway to be exact. I got a job with an European supplier for construction company called Hilti. Its a part time job that pays really well if compared to all the job that I've done before. RM7 per hour.

Well for the time being, I will be doing data entry for the marketing department and not phone calls like I was expected to. Its a really easy job but I hate decyphering handwriting! If only there was a course that teach you how to write properly on papers.

I'm planning to get an extra part time job around Sunway Pyramid. Plane ticket cost me a lot to come here, and thats another story to be tell next time. Perhaps something on the night shift and during weekends. Cinema is my main target, cause I want to have that benefit of being able to watch movie for free, haha.

Oh yes! Iphone 4! I get the chance to actually hold it in my hand, trying out the features and all, and I SUPER LOVE IT. Haha, once I hold it, its already as if I own one before. I am very familiar with iPhone without even having one before :P

The camera is awesome. Fast and clearer than crystal clear! 5 megapixel of awesomeness! Tap to focus, zooming, front camera, flash and to me, iPhone has reached a real satisfaction in its cameras. Its like carrying a digital camera with you everywhere, and ready to snap at anytime. Most importantly, the quality is magnifico!

I even tried to record video and it is in HD! Didn't get the chance to tried the movie maker application yet, but I heard its something that a person MUST try. Awesome sound system, and undenyably that its like having an iPod touch with you around.

I am seriously determine to get an iPhone 4. Might get a DiGi package because of its lower monthly payment compared to Maxis. When will I get it? The initial plan was on the 20102010 but since I used of most of my money on plane ticket, I might have to reconsider another date.

All in all this week is actually the most rushing week for me. Everything was done in last minute. Asking for a job in the morning, by afternoon the job was confirm, bought ticket at 3PM, saying goodbye to friends, tell the whole thing to mom and dad, cried, woke up late in the morning, rush for haircut, rush for bus, reached KK and spend some time with my brother, spend time with friends, miss flight, bought new ticket, sleeping throughout the flight, reach LCCT, take bus to KL Sentral, the bus is taking a different route than the last time I was here, reached and I was being pick up by my aunt. Start working tomorrow!

I guess thats all for now :D


Until the next mail, bye for now =)
