Paramore/Singapore #2

(Please start reading from post #1 if you haven't)

March 7 - 1229 KUL

I arrived at this place called Yong Peng, and there was a food court there.
It's supposed to be the lunch break for the passengers.
I really had no appetite during that time. Tried to eat something light, couldn't finish it also.
I was so sleepy, didn't get much sleep, and didn't sleep in the bus. Had this fear feeling actually, first time travelling long distance in a bus.
Went back into the bus to continue my journey, feeling ridiculously tired, but I just couldn't sleep.
Called my cousin, Kenny for the address of the place, so that I could fill it in the immigration form.
Couldn't get him.
Then, I called his GF, and she told me to just write Ang Mo Kio.
I was pretty nervous actually, because I was afraid that I won't past customs or can't find my way later or something. :P.
I was being very pessimistic.
Anyway, Kenny soon called, thankfully, and I managed to ask him for the full address.
Almost at Larkin, one of the stops, I told Kenny where I'm arriving. And all I could find out from the bus driver is a road. Jalan Sultan.
That's about our last contact by phone.

March 7 - 1551 SIN

Arrived in Singapore. Looked more like a construction site than anything else, the area we were dropped off.
Tried using the phone, I could not contact anybody at all. I couldn't find any network.
Couldn't use the phone at all!
I was looking around, walking around that area. 4.00p.m, no sign of him. I was starting to worry, as I had to go to the Singapore Indoor Stadium at 7p.m to collect my ticket.
And then, about 4.15p.m, we saw each other! Finally!
If only my phone wasn't like that...
Anyway that's a small relief.
We then walked about something like 25 minutes (it felt like that long) to a Chinese "coffee shop".
It's pretty different from Malaysia.
This coffee shop - No smoking allowed, air-conditioned, well-dressed waiters/waitresses and a good clean toilet.
Would love these type of places in Malaysia.
The won-ton mee was quite good too. That was the one meal I actually finished.
One is $3.50, which is about RM8.50, which isn't too bad actually from what I feared.
I wanted to go to the place I'm staying to take a bath.
But time would not be on my side if I do that. So what the hell... I'm not bathing :P
I changed my clothing at the Suntec City Mall. The bathroom of course.
By then it was about 5:30p.m. I needed to be at the Singapore Indoor Stadium by 7:00p.m to collect my ticket.

March 7 - 1806 SIN

Went by bus to a place I don't know at all with Kenny.
Then I took a walk which felt like over 30 minutes towards the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
It was 6.40p.m when I reached there. Just nice. Went straight to get my ticket.
Got the ticket, checked it, and I saw, ROW 14.
I looked at the ticket, and was like, hey! Is this a con? I was told 2nd row!
But I thought, what the heck... I still can watch them live.
Kenny was nice enough to carry my luggage back to his place.
Soon after, I went to the Paramore merchant, selling T-shirts.
I bought one for myself, one for Francisca and one for Sofea (they're paying back :D)
Each T-shirt was 40SG$, which was a lot less than what I expected it to be. So yeah, I had enough money to buy 3.
I bought a drink for myself. I barely had a chance to drink all day in Singapore.
Heheh. I finished my drink before I even made it into the concert hall. :P.
The damned line to enter the concert hall was crazy long. It went around the stadium. Almost fully around it.
I was pumped up for the concert. Went straight to my seat. I was one of the early birds there.
And guess what, I was in ROW 2 after all! Just that the 91$ seat rows started from number 13. Strange, but cool.
I was really happy with the seat. I was just one Lucas or one Bernie away from the 111$ seats.
That's the good part about booking the ticket very early. The results are exceptional.
I just couldn't wait!
