Oh AVRIL!
I had a pretty good day despite my upset plans to go to Ipoh to visit someone who's battling a brain tumour. Caught Clone Wars in the cinema on my own ... it was freezing but all in all it was a good afternoon of Jedi, Sith, Clone Troopers and Droids battling out over alien landscapes.
Made it to church too (although I sadly missed the entire worship) and heard a really awesome sermon by Pastor Peter Tsukahira which for some reason made me cry as I was deeply reminded about God being a promise-keeping God. And it was all done through scripture and proof of God bringing Israel back together as a nation after being scattered all over the world and experiencing the horrors of the Holocaust during WWII. I went up for prayer and well ... I just couldn't stop crying because of the great sense of God's faithfulness.
And guess what? When I got home I learnt that Avril is OFFICIALLY on! Stadium Merdeka here I come!!! Oh yeah!!! I had included it in my prayer requests this week to the cell and they we all prayed for it; the best thing is that my prayer sec had highlighted my prayer request for Avril to be on and well ... here's an answer to my prayer! I've already taken the 29th off and now all I need is someone to go with me. Yay!
AVRIL HERE I COME!!!
Gimme My Happy Ending!
There is some glimmer of hope to the authorities allowing Avril to perform. Last ditch efforts are being made to have discussions with the big wigs who are making a fuss over the concert that has been planned for the 29th. The Star has got a latest posting here which I just checked out after spotting a post in one of my RSS feeds.
It's really annoying ... sigh ... I have two tickets and now I don't even know if it's gonna be on. I'm still looking for kawan to go tho but the way things are now I don't know if I should even ask anyone. Sigh ... and it looks like I can't go for Diana Krall too cos' I was just remembered that my church sub-zone is planning to have something over the Raya break! Just exactly when the jazz queen is coming!!! Gah!!!
*Sighs* ... it's not a good year for music this year for me. 
Avril Lavigne Live in Malaysia 08'
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ... My bookings for Avril Lavigne have just been confirmed today via email. I'm gonna take either a half-day or full-day off on the 29th so I can make it for the concert in time. Now I just gotta work on getting a friend to go with me.
I'm excited ... yea ... I know I'm getting a wee bit old but I really like Avril's stuff. There's just something about her songs that I can't quite place yet. Maybe it's the simple lyrics but more likely it's her talent for infectious hooks.
It doesn't really matter though! I'm gonna be seeing Avril LIVE! Mua ha ha ha ha ha. And once the bookings for Diana Krall are available, it's another thing to look forward to in October! 2008's certainly been a roller-coaster ride of a year. It's been emotional but on most fronts God really has been good. Sigh ... I wish I could appreciate it more with someone but I gotta get that thought out of my head. Life is GOOD! Gotta remember that instead of just being so focused on what obviously isn't meant to be yet.
