The Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel.: Obsession : Paramore

So on September 2nd, I heard the most amazing news since march. Cab you guess what it is? Of course you cant! XD My favourite band for the past 6 years was coming to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!!!!!! The exciment i felt... I literally screamed at 2 am!! I was finally going to see Hayley Williams, Josh Farro, Zac Farro, Jeremy Davis, and Taylor York!! At least, I thought. Till i checked the date, October 19th. A tuesday. I knew its gonna be hard to convince my parents. But I wasnt gonna give up just yet

I begged and begged. You see, the ticket prices were expensive. And being a true fan, I wanted the best seat in the house. Which means i wanted two Rockzone tickets which costs RM358 each. Yea, I was pushing my luck. Obviously, she said no. But I had other ways..

I sat beside the radio. Dialed to Malaysia's No.1 Hitz Station, Hitz.fm!! (I always listen to Hitz so it wasnt any different) But I was listening to it lyk a mad person. Waiting patiently for the que to call. They had many chances for the RM169 tix. But I didnt want them. You couldnt really see them if i was holding that tix. So, i waited for the 5pm que. That was for the rockzone invites. Basically, this is what you had to do. Be the 1st caller through at the que and you automatically get not one, not two, not three, but 4 Rockzone invites!!! Then, you had to sing a Paramore song. Easy. I thought I would play my cover of Decode. I practiced it lyk a mad person. So i called everyday at the que for 2 weeks!! No luck :/

On the last day to get tix, which was Friday. I decided to call in everytime I heard the que. Meaning, even for the RM169 tix. Just my luck, i missed every single one of them. Till came the time to win the Rockzone invites. I closed my eyes, said a prayer, and dialed. 1st time, no luck. after 4 times, i decided to give up. But not being a quitter, I decided to have another go at it. I dialed the number. And I heard a voice

"Hello, Hitz, can I have your I/C number?" said Natalie. My response? "Heh?" She laughed and asked me again. I finally came to my senses that I got through. Then, came the time for me to sing. I grabbed my guitar and started to play. I sang my heart out. The judge loved it!!! I was on cloud nine. I couldnt stop smiling.

Next thing i knew i was on my way to KL. I reached there, and my princess was so excited!!! She heard my singing and everything. :) On monday, i had to go to Astro to pick up my tix. But 1st. On sunday, after a day of shopping, I fell sick. Very sick. I was vomiting, had a very high fever, etc... I couldnt believe it. I was just days away from seeing the band I've been waiting 6 years for, and here I am sick. I just wanted to cry. But thanks to mum for taking such good care of me, I was feeling much better by Tuesday.

We reached National Stadium at 5pm. Having 4 Rockzone invites, we were right in front. And my mum and nessa's mum followed too. We so excited when the gates opened. We ran in, and got the best place. Right in front of the stage!! (Eventually, Josh stood right in front of us when he came out :) 1st up, Malaysian band Y2K. I knew them since i was young, but their awful life. No offense.

Finally, The black curtains go up. I was so happy!!. I couldnt believe it. The curtains drop, revealing Hayley Williams and the band. She stood in her best rock star pose. They opened with Ignorance. Love!! Amazing opening!!! Here's a list of songs they performed.

1) Ignorance

3) That's What You Get :)
4) For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic
5) Emergency (never expected them to play their older songs but they did!!)

14) Looking Up

17 amazing songs from Paramore. Perfectly played with every note in place. Hayley William's voice was just perfect.Her energy was WOW!!! I never wanted to leave. Eventhough, i was so sick and couldnt stand I still loved every freakin second of it!! Especially with Josh staring right at us!!! And my mum likes them now. Don't know if its good or bad but it just shows that Paramore is amazing!!!!!

So here's the thing, on Wednesday, I was still on MC. I was travelling home. And my Malay language finals was going on. When students dont go for their exams, they can re-sit for it provided they have a MC. So, i return to school on Thursday, with my MC and went to meet my teacher. Which told me I was able to re-sit. My happiness was cut short, with the teacher telling me I wasnt able to re-sit cause it was a district paper!!!! I was so pissed off. I mean other school's allow you to re-sit so what so special about this stupid school? I came to school, with literally no voice and fever and yet they still denied me. My mum even went to see them, they told my mum that they'll see into it. Obviously, their so called see into it is closing both eyes for the matter! And then I fought with one of my good friends in school. She said, I made a bad judgement call for going to Paramore. Either way, I would still be on MC cause i was sick. What do you want me to do? Go to school, puke all over the exam paper and come back?? Seriously? I told her, I will never regret going to Paramore. Their music has helped me in ways you dont know. I dont think I would be even around if it wasnt for them. After waiting for 6 years, I couldnt wait any longer. It was the right decision.

So yea, I will never regret going for Paramore. It was one of the best days of my life. <3
