I am back here, once again. Since going to Beijing, a lot has happened. 1) My nails got longer, 2) I got into the habit of nail biting, 3) My nails are now almost always lacking length and the edges are without smooth finish, due to that habit.

“Singapore, it’s nice to meet you!” shouted Hayley Williams to the packed Singapore Indoor Stadium last Sunday. The greeting has at least been five years in the making. For the thousands of teenage fans who queued up outside the venue as early as the night before, watching Paramore larger-than-life right before their very eyes was like, to paraphrase the lyrics from “Misery Business,” watching their wildest dreams come true.

Paramore will be heading down to Southeast Asia. First show? Singapore on March 7 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium! The fearless five-piece will also make their way down to the Philippines on March 9 at the SM Concert Grounds in Manila.
