Arvil Lavinge The Best Damn Asia Tour '08

On 11th August:
Pas strikes again! This time they've taken aim at Canadian pop-punk "princess", Avril Lavigne. As reported on the Malaysian Insider: "Federal Territory PAS Youth has demanded the government ban pop superstar Avril Lavigne from performing in the country, saying that it would insult the Merdeka freedom fighters." (The concert is on 29 August!)

Say what?! So what are we supposed to do instead of jumping around to "Sk8er boi" or emo-ing to "I'm With You"? Well their suggestion is to have a "history-writing contest". What does that even mean? Do we get to re-write history? What do we get if we win? They're also saying that Avril's music (apparently laden with punk and rock elements) is not suitable for the virginal ears of Malaysia youth. OTK (Oh Tunku!)


She looked damn cool man!
On 23th August:
Malaysian authorities have reversed their decision to cancel a concert by Canadian pop-rock star Avril Lavigne, saying Saturday (23 Aug) that she can perform next week despite complaints her act is "too sexy." BUT Malaysia still requires all performers to wear clothes without obscene or drug-related images and to be covered from the chest to the knees. They must also refrain from jumping, shouting, hugging and kissing on stage. Still, conservative Muslims often protest against Western and even Malaysian music shows that they consider inappropriate.


You guyz know what?!

On29th August:
I was one of the fans among 15,000 crowd in she splendid "The Best Damn Asia Tour" concert! Yesterday, Miss Terbang & I reached Stadium Merdeka around three something. And we started to queue up for few hours! While we were standing n waiting for the gates to open we had chatted a lot of stuffs. From yam to further studies in UK and from further studies to year end Thailand trip. The whether was damn hot. Stall"S",varies kind of peoples & Hotlink stuffs were shrouded there.

One of the stall that located near to Gate4.
Can you see the cute gurl standing at the bottom of right hand part?!


Finally, the gates open at 7.30pm but the bad news was we gotta wait for another one hour and fifteen minutes that means the show gonna start at 8.45pm! Infact it was okay for us to wait, since we had aldready waited for almost 5hours outside the stadium. Unfortunely, it rained! Omg everyone was like mad. Squeezed like sardins in box to grab for FREE raincoats! Luckily Miss Terbang didn't go with smokey eyed, if not she will be like... (I believe everyone able to imagine of that moment) Haha.

Colourful raincoater, it looked more attractive in LIVE!

The show began with a Malay singer who we did not know but his voice is not bad indeed. Finally...

The spotlights were being turned off and the show was begin...

Hey hey you you, I want you to be my girlfriend...

Lavigne was dressed casually in jeans and a black T-shirt as she took to the stage with her first song Girlfriend, and only had one costume change, into a grey T-shirt for the whole concert. The crowd especially ours area remained excited throughout, singing and dancing along to Lavigne's entire 17 songs set. Due to a few reasons like distance away from the stage, price of the ticket, the time that we had been waiting and so on it made me feel that ours Orange Zone (RM138) not to say best but the most ideal seat. Moreover, Lavigne was so damn cute yesterday yes the part that Miss Terbang had told me also which she played with the crowd. When she raised up her hands everyone will be shouting. Oppositely when she lower her hands everyone will become quite. She keeped on repeating for few times and it's getting faster. Noise..silence..noise then silence again. It's getting too fast that the crowd could not follow then Miss Lavigne was angry! Omg she looked cuter and yet prettier while in anger. Haha. She is great. She played electronic guitar,piano (Yesterday the piano which she played wit "When you are gone" was in pink!) and DRUMS! Woo~~~ I enjoyed myselves in the concert and yeah Miss Lavigne, I miss you...

The concert ended.

Arvil you rocks my world! Woo~~~
