Absent from Avril

29th August 2008

Today's the day Avril performs live in KL, as part of her "The Best Damn Tour". Tonight's the night she kicks off the Asian leg of her world tour, and despite all the wild protests from some narrow-minded and conservative groups in KL, it would finally go through, thank God!

I couldn't go to my favorite artist's show, not because I didn't want to, but because I couldn't afford to. Already on a very tight budget this month, and had already spent too much on a new camera. Usually I would always be lucky in winning concert tickets from Hitz. FM, but not this time though. I thought I would be able to carry forward my luck from the Daughtry contest, but it wasn't to be. Hitz were running a contest though for Avril's show, but they required only Maxis 012 customers to download an Avril tune and SMS in during the cue to SMS. Even though without tickets to go, I wasn't too disappointed, partly because my results spoiled my whole day. To be frank, even though I was absent from Avril, I wasn't too hard on myself about it. Probably next time, Avril, when I could really afford those tickets, and when someone could really go with me.

That night, I had a very long chat with Sonia. We had a really really long chat that lasted throughout the night. She knew about my predicament and my sorrow, I also got to know about her recent one too. We had a really nice chat until 2a.m. She consoled me a lot, which I really appreciate. God, I think I'm beginning to like her a lot. It feels as if we can really click on things, but I know for her to fall for a guy like me is pretty hard, partly because we've never met before, except for the BRATs camp, but that too we hardly talked at camp, and the fact that we knew each other for only 2 weeks. Maybe she'll be my new best friend, then hopefully whatever progress that happens from there I shall see. She's a really nice and sweet 16-year-old girl. Her age might suggest some immaturity but I would gladly cancel that out. We had very nice topics tonight, we talked about religion, pre-marital s*x, her past relationship and a lot more. And I even got to know she once suffered from asthma like I do. Now there's some start! We sms a lot, MSN too sometimes could really stretch till 4 in the morning, tonight's a perfect testimony of that.

Even she was happy because we had so much to talk about for once this whole week. And I kept wondering that night, maybe there's light at the end of the tunnel, because at least something really positive happened between me and Sonia on such a bad day for me. Glad to have a good friend like her. Hopefully I can be there for her on the next time she's sad or down, like she was there for me tonight, but of course, I hoped that day will never come, because I want her to be positive and cheerful always, as her MSN name would suggest:)
