After almost 10 months, I have decided to finally post an update! After what has happened in recent times, I think I'd probably regret if I didn't do this now! Only problem is, I have noooo idea where to begin! Well I suppose, chronological is most, well, logical..
Finally I decided to apply for school! Went down to uniSIM's open house Sat and quite fortunately met up with rabbit (XH), even though we would have later that night, for mahjong with isaac and chew! Anyways after much deliberation I opted for English with Psychology. (Now you know why I'm typing in pretty much perfect english =x) Somehow we ended up spending the entire afternoon there, attending talks and the eventual application process via their website. We both then had dinner at Botak Jones' in Clementi before heading for mahjong! Chew owned that night and the three of us lost a few bucks, but heck, you win some you lose some! Mahjong is fun! XD
Monday somehow turned out to be quite an awesome day. Isaac's friend was in need of a last minute stand-in and I was roped in, thinking I just be a calafare of sorts. It was a video shoot of sorts, for a corporate video, somewhere in Sentosa called 'Wavehouse'. I had zero idea that I was to be cast alongside 4 other MODELS! Thankfully they were nice chaps and though the first part of the shoot was nerve-wrecking, the rest was smooth sailing; we were to pretend to have friendly conversation, but since we were already in conversation, we didn't have to pretend at all! Time flew and soon we were done, and inevitably parted ways. I hope to see them around someday, as successful actors/actresses/models!
Oh! PARAMORE WAS IN TOWN!!
Ben Kok and I had bought tickets way back in Dec and Ter got his too, but his was in the standing arena, whereas ours was in the seats just behind the standing arena.
Anyways, both of us decided to try our luck at the airport to welcome them, thinking they'd definitely be on the Christchurch flight as that was where they had their previous concert at.
The pack of fans waiting outside belt 47 was to be disappointed however; they did not appear. There were even a few false alarms too; someone started screaming and the whole crowd thought they had finally shown up, but of course that was not the case. Soon the crowds dissipated, but we clung to hope! Tracy, Ben's online friend had info from Twitter that they would be flying in from Sydney, so we then shift out focus to all incoming Sydney flights. There were so many! Since we were in T3 we decided to wait it out there. About 10 we then decided to take a risk and try our luck at T1 instead, which of course, paid off! They finally arrived, about 11pm and screams of excitement ensued. Sadly they couldn't stay long and were ushered by security to their waiting van. Hayley was soo cute!! She kept waving back and shouted back, "See you tomorrow guys!" after I shouted "See you tomorrow HAYLEY!!" Ben managed to hand her a handwritten letter! I wish I had prepared something like that! Sigh.
The concert itself was AWESOME! Me and Ben both bought Paramore t-shirts and immediately got changed into them! (I managed to secure the LAST M-sized one!) Basically throughout the show we were jumping and swinging our light sticks like nuts! Even now I'm still having a stiff neck from all the headbanging, and my arms especially my right one is aching!
The setlist was:
-Ignorance
-Crushcrushcrush-Thats What You Get
-Looking Up
-Careful
-Let The Flames Begin
-Never Let This Go
-The Only Exception
-Pressure
-For a Pessimist, I’m Pretty Optimistic
-Where The Lines Overlap
-Decode
ENCORE:
-Misery Business
-Brick by Boring Brick
How I wish they did "When it Rains" though. Seriously love the intro of that song. But I guess wanted us to 'jump' more, hence, "The Only Exception" was the only slow song they played.
We met up with Ridwan, Luntat and 2 of their friends after the show and walked all the way back to Kallang MRT, and caught the last train home, tired, but still excited and high.
ABSOLUTELY, BEST NIGHT EVER!
