March 7 - 2203 SIN
I went out of the Indoor Stadium.
And woah! Loads of people were still screaming away!
And loads of people were playing Brick By Boring Brick on their mobile phones or their car radios.
It was madness! And all of the same song!
I was like... enough, enough! Have some variety a bit :P.
But it was pretty cool watching people go crazy, even after the concert ended.
Shortly after, I wanted to go have my dinner. The last thing I ate before that was around 5p.m where I ate one bag of chips, that was about it.
Hungry, but when I went to the mall nearby, every restaurant was full, with ridiculously long lines.
At each restaurant I walked to, I kept looking at the line, going to the next one, and again, doing the same thing. I didn't feel like going to eat in the end.
At 10:45.pm I went back to the Stadium, peeked backstage and saw the band going into their van and heading off, to their hotel I suspect.
Quite a number of cars were following them all the way.
At 11p.m I went to the restaurant at the Stadium area. Wanted to eat something, was ridiculously hungry at that time.
Saw the prices... NO WAY! Paying about RM80 for a meal. That's way worse than Manhattan Fish Market!
Since I was on a budget, I would sacrifice and stay hungry for that period.
Kenny was supposed to come and meet me at 11:30p.m.
Since the whole trip I couldn't use my phone at all, I had to go look for someone for me to borrow a phone. By then the stadium was pretty empty.
It was 11:40p.m by then I got a little worried. I did find someone to borrow a phone. He looked reluctant, but still gave me the phone for a minute. Kenny was on his way that time.
I gotta thank the guy who lent me the phone.
I actually wanted to go and find my way back, but then I wasn't sure where Kenny would be, and he probably would have been searching for me there.
March 8 - 0005 SIN
Finally we noticed each other. By then, not a soul at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
I realised how quiet Singapore was when I was on my back to the place I had to stay in. DEAD!
I saw one person walking right in the middle of the road.
Every place was closed in town.
I did go to one of the stalls somewhere with him.
I bought Nasi Goreng Kampung.
I don't remember eating rice this hot in my life. I did ask for spicy, but I expected the Malay restaurant type of spicy in Malaysia. This was ridiculous.
I didn't even finish half of it. It didn't even taste nice in the first place. Appetite throughout the day did not improve, although I still felt agonisingly hungry.
Wasted 5$ for the rice. Now I know what these people were talking about when they said that food in Singapore sucks. :P
Was really thirsty too, Had two drinks.
Soon after, Kenny showed me the Esplanade and the Merlion. Wished I had my camera with me during that time. It looked beautiful at night, except for the surroundings, where I mostly saw cranes.
I can't imagine how the place would be like in 5 years. Would be really gorgeous once the buildings are finished.
That's it, off to work now, will continue in Post #5 after work.

Paramore/Singapore #3
NOTE: Please read post #1 and post #2 before you continue here.
March 7 - 2000 SIN
The concert started right on time.
Much to my surprise, there WAS an opening act.
I've no idea what the name of the band is, it's a Singaporean band as far as I know.
It was similar to Paramore - all guys except the lead singer, female.
When the girl came on stage, people were screaming like mad. But it was short lived.
I was laughing away when most of the crowd thought it was Hayley Williams, Paramore's lead singer was on stage.
The opening act sang 4 songs, and took about 20 minutes.
I was pretty happy about it, as I heard from Kelvesh, the opening acts for Green Day's concert went for 1 hour 20 minutes. That is very long.
During the break, I was talking to this girl beside me. She was pretty cool.
She was shocked to find out that I bought 3 Paramore T-shirts. :P
I did see around the stadium. It was a sell out. Except for the cheapest seats.
Soon the lights dimmed. The whole crowd was anticipating the start of the performance.
It was nearly pitch black. The usual Paramore intro was played during that time.
And suddenly Hayley appeared, she went crazy as the crowd did too. It was loud! Deafening.
Nobody was seated. Every single person was up.
And the first song was Ignorance. Really nice performance. She did shout quite a bit of the song.
The second song was Crushcrushcrush. I knew the whole lyrics for this song, so I just sang my heart out.
The third song was That's What You Get. This really got the crowd going even crazier and louder. Everybody had their hands up, jumping like mad. It was one of the most fun ones.
I did see a news article, that 10 people needed treatment by the end of the song. Wow.
And then they played Looking Up. I jumped as high as I can during the Whoa-Oh-O-Oh, Whoa-Oh-O-Oh! And
sang at the same time. At the end of the song, I started coughing. Started to feel the loss of voice.
The 5th song they played was Careful. I think it's the perfect song to play since quite a number of people got hurt :P
They played Let The Flames Begin right after. Love the guitar solo. And they played an extended version of it. Really nice.
Soon, they decided to play a song from their first album. They played Never Let This Go, one of my favourites from the album.
The band took a 2 minute rest. They were pretty tired, and finally the crowd didn't go crazy as before that.
And it went a little mellow after. The Only Exception was played. Hayley said that at one point its video was named Video of the Week on MTV. She got almost everyone to wave their arms from side to side during that song. Loved the feeling. A very meaningful song.
I did record about 35 seconds of the performance in my phone. But quality very poor, and I only did it for a short while. I wanted to enjoy the concert rather than recording all the performances.
And back to getting really pumped up again, Pressure was played. Back to jumping like mad again. We all just went nuts.
The next song was For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic. It was the song where I knew the least of the lyrics. I didn't really know the lyrics of the verses. But still, never backed down, went for it, even when it's just guessing the words. :P
The next song - My current favourite - Where The Lines Overlap. I was so passionate about this song, that I actually heard my own voice in this song. The rest, I couldn't even hear my voice. But I still sang as loud as I could though for all the songs. And I love the lyrics, it suited me, that 'no one is as lucky as us' (those who came for the concert).
I suspect there were loads of Twilight fans there. They all went mad when Decode was played.
I think it was this song when the speaker or the guitar on the lead guitarist failed? Damn... I didn't hear part of the lead. But the lead guitarist, Taylor York, yes, not Josh Farro who didn't tour still ran around with his guitar, just for the fun of it.
When he got his replacement guitar, his guitar was slightly off key. But the PA system people slowly fixed it. Thanks to them :D (It's Singaprore, not Malaysia :P)
Misery Business was next. More jumping to do. Hayley changed the lyrics a little. From 'I'm sorry honey', she changed it to 'I'm sorry Singapore' :P.
13 songs done. Paramore closed the event with Brick By Boring Brick. She did say that Singapore has the loudest crowd she has ever experienced. She also promised to come back within less than 5 years. (Fran and Sofea, it's your chance!)
We all used up the last bit of our energy for the song. It looked like the crowd favourite.
And lastly, the band members started throwing stuff towards the crowd - drumsticks, Hayley's water bottle :P
14 songs were pretty alright. But they only performed for 1 hour 30 minutes. Wished it was longer.
Another regret - Not bringing my camera in. Loads of people took theirs in. And nothing was done.
Wished I brought mine in... Gah!
Next time. Maybe next time.
And ah... I went out a little too late.
I was late by about 30 seconds from being able to buy a limited edition poster. Gah! Again!
But the concert experience itself was awesome. My first concert. Great. Superb. Brilliant.

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!

Paramore/Singapore #1
This is going to be pretty long, so I would have to divide this blog posts into a few.
And I've no time to type everything before I head for work anyway.
Before we get to the climax, lets go slowly. Start from the 'permulaan', then ' perkembangan', 'klimaks' and 'peleraian'. :D
March 7 - 0036 KUL
On my way back from work, went straight to Lucas's house.
It was supposed to be Edmen's surprise birthday party, but at the time I reached there, he left already. :P
But I was still there, until 2:45a.m. During that time I was creating an event for my last work day. But more details next time.
I just couldn't wait for the concert.
I reached home around 2:5oa.m and guess the number of alarms I set for the next day, where I had to wake up around 8a.m. It's 4. But that's not really shocking. See the later one.
March 7 - 0756 KUL
Woke up around this time. Guess in which alarm I woke up with. NONE! Instead, I actually woke up a few minutes before the first alarm!
But I just lied down until the first alarm rang.
Left the house at about 9.25a.m. Reached there, ahead of schedule for the bus.
There was the same type of bus I supposed to go to at Lane 22. I was supposed to go into the bus on Lane 21.
There was no bus at Lane 21.
So I went to the bus driver in Lane 22, and asked him whether this was the bus I was supposed to enter actually.
He said never mind, just enter, same thing, going to Singapore also.
So yeah, I just entered.
Soon after, the bus started filling up. And I saw the same type of bus going to Lane 21. Damn.
I didn't dare change back buses because I submitted my ticket already.
And the bus I entered was full. There was one extra person inside.
And that would have to be me.
But I stayed in the bus anyway. :D. Yeah I'm cruel, but I had to do it. I didn't sacrifice everything only to leave a bus.
Anyway lucky for me also. One woman had her small daughter, and she could have her on the lap during the journey. So all seats taken without one person having to stand.
And of all places, they ended up next to me. I didn't tell them about what I did though :P
This bus did have a delay. 30 minutes in fact.
But luckily still. The other bus which I was supposed to enter, had an even longer delay. So all good :D
March 7 - 1030 KUL
Departed for Singapore. The bus was pretty cool.
Adjustable seat, has the adjustable leg rest, can put the seat to lying down position, and has personal light.
Not bad. But I wished there was personal entertainment systems on it. But at least I had my MP4, listening to of course, Paramore songs :D
Was still thinking to myself, luckily they didn't check.
I submitted my ticket already, imagine if I was chased out and not allowed to enter the other bus.
I got lucky, but yeah, feels great :D.

It's Finally Here!
Before I relate my blog post to the above topic, I'll just run through yesterday's events.
Decided to go back to St. Pauls for their sports day.
I wanted to see how they're doing, especially for my team, Director.
I'll support them all the way.
Last year, we won by just 5 points, with Barnitus in second. They needed me, I scored 21 points last year.
This year, I went, and got a pretty good reception from some of the students and teachers.
Not really by the Barnitus house members, they have been my rivals in school, and will always be.
And they were in first place before the sports day, 7 points ahead of second placed Director.
The rivalry has been relived.
I saw the Directod house marching... they all look like bapuks!
Gay cap, solid white T-shirt, tucked in...
But what the heck.
I left school at 4:10p.m, went to Marrybrown to have Fish-N-Chips.
Had to get ready for work after.
I took out my phone and...
The screen cracked!
The touchscreen isn't functioning anymore...
Ugh...
Luckily I still can do everything with the keypad.
But the Paramore trip is overshadowing it
And just today I found out... Director are overall champions... again!
Woohoo! So happy they could do it without me this time. Proud of the lads.
And time to laugh at Barnitus, for bragging, and losing a second time in a row to us.
Nothing special happened at work yesterday.
Went to Station 1 Cafe in Era Square for supper.
Ate some Lobster BALLS (Yes, they taste much better than it sounds)
Very crowded, even at almost 1a.m.
Alcohol is served there, that's about why.
Not that I took any there though.
And today, had bak kut teh for lunch with the family.
And my thoughts were fully on the Paramore trip.
It's here! Tomorrow! Already! Really looking forward to it.
I'm packing my stuff already. Can't believe it's this soon.
Man I gotta memorise some lyrics.... never did anything of that yet :P
But here I come...
30 hours left to the concert!

I left school at 4:10p.m, went to Marrybrown to have Fish-N-Chips.
Had to get ready for work after.
I took out my phone and...
The screen cracked!
The touchscreen isn't functioning anymore...
Ugh...
Luckily I still can do everything with the keypad.
But the Paramore trip is overshadowing it
And just today I found out... Director are overall champions... again!
Woohoo! So happy they could do it without me this time. Proud of the lads.
And time to laugh at Barnitus, for bragging, and losing a second time in a row to us.
Nothing special happened at work yesterday.
Went to Station 1 Cafe in Era Square for supper.
Ate some Lobster BALLS (Yes, they taste much better than it sounds)
Very crowded, even at almost 1a.m.
Alcohol is served there, that's about why.
Not that I took any there though.
And today, had bak kut teh for lunch with the family.
And my thoughts were fully on the Paramore trip.
It's here! Tomorrow! Already! Really looking forward to it.
I'm packing my stuff already. Can't believe it's this soon.
Man I gotta memorise some lyrics.... never did anything of that yet :P
But here I come...
30 hours left to the concert!

Unpredictable
Yesterday and today, absolutely busy.
Running here, running there.
But there were some huge upsides to those days.
Yesterday, quite a number of familiar faces turned up.
Firstly, my parents came. I was pretty surprised, I wouldn't have predicted my dad to come to this place.
He did complain quietly about something, although I heard, but not my fault, either the head waiter or the chef's fault :P. Either one didn't follow it correctly, although I explained.
Luckily he still liked the food.
And then, Danesh a/l Thiagarajah came with his parents.
Glad to have a complement from him.
And finally the noisiest group of them all...
Theresa Belle, A.E.C.K.Y Low, Nicole Wong and Sharmili Nair (never knew her before) came.
They... I mean we were laughing like crazy most of the time.
Nice to see that they enjoyed their food too.
I managed to get them a 10% discount.
Theresa wanted ice-cream, heard one scoop is RM7.90, and straight away - Uh... nevermind!
Eh, Theresa, you haven't offered me a discount in Sushi King yet! :P :P
I'm calling you Sushi all the time :D
This morning, I had a real good wake up call.
My dad bought me a new mobile phone. WHAT?
I never asked for one, never requested, never needed one, didn't exactly want a new one at the moment either.
But it's cool. Real cool.
Phone name/Phone brand name: Absolutely no idea! I didn't even bother to look. And by looking at the phone, none of you can guess what brand it is either. Seriously.
Advantages (might have a lot because my previous phone only can call and sms) :
1. Woohoo! I can log on to facebook via the phone now
2. I can easily go to Eurosport for the latest sports news.
3. Love the ability to play songs and listen to clear radio, with good sound quality
4. I finally have bluetooth! :P
5. There's the world timezones, which makes it easier to find out time differences, especially when watching live sports matches, or even for my Auckland trip
6. You can watch TV with it!
7. Two sim cards can be used at the same time.
8. Nokia batteries is compatible with the phone. Excellent, I can use one as a spare battery.
9. 3.2 Megapixel camera.
10. (The best part) It's only RM375!
Disadvantages:
1. Messaging is hell for this phone. The dictionary messaging is so much more complicated than the Nokias/Sony Ericsson etc.
2. TV isn't that clear, and I only can get local TV! I wished I had ESPN...
3. The phone's framerate is pretty slow online. Very slow in fact. Not the internet speed's fault.
4. I can't play Mousehunt on this :(
5. Battery life - Around 6 hours. That's pretty miserable.
6. The melody composer... the instruments sound really irritating.
Overall: Considering it's just RM375, it's definitely worth it.
Now I can take pics from the Paramore concert! Woohoo!
Next blog post... maybe tomorrow, or only after the Paramore concert.
BTW, manager, I want my February salary.

It's March Already?
Times seems to be passing pretty fast for me.
It's a good thing I guess, with the Paramore concert coming very soon.
More and more things are being settled.
All I have to hope for, is for the bus to not crash, and to get a bus ticket back home. That's all.
And another thing to look forward to - SPM Results Day.
I just want the result and get on with life.
And I would like to meet my old friends there too.
Schoolmates to look forward to:
1. Deepak - Wonder how long his beard will be when he's back in school.
2. Bernard - Wonder whether he has changed one bit also.
3. Karshan - Want to find out how many piercings/tattoos/eyebrow shaves he has.
4. Jeremy - Will he still have his red-coloured hair?
5. Sri Raam - Will he have any hair left on his head after National Service?
Schoolmates NOT to look forward to:
1. Khairul - One of the most braggy person there, and irritating too.
2. Pavendhran - I would except him to say "Hah! I got more A's than you!"
And a lot later in March, The Fray's coming to Singapore!
I won't go though, it's too soon after the Paramore concert!
Need money, and also, too many things to organise.
Such a shame...
Anyway, remember the last paragraph of the last blog post if you've read it?
It has happened again.
Another girl, insisted to go to the gents' toilet. And went.
What is happening to this world???
THAT'S IT! 2012's going to happen like this! :P
Finally, today, I went to visit Esther Devadas (Uncle Philip's daughter)
If you didn't know, she was a victim of a hit-N-run. A van hit her.
She was knocked unconscious, and was brought to hospital.
She was there for a full week.
Thank the Lord that she is feeling better now, she has been discharged, although she can't walk yet.
It's good to see their family happy again after a really tough week.
