Brandon Chesbro (their photographer/videographer) was pacing up and downward from the wing to the stage, setting up his video equipments. I managed to say hi to him too.The security authorities mentioned that we weren't allowed to consider personal photos, or to hug, or to kiss. When I first entered the room, it was difficult to miss Hayley`s striking red hair. She had her pretty smile on, as usual. I don`t recognize how these people do it. I was likely the 40th fan they met that day and yet they had the push to simply sit and smiling and say hi. They were really relaxed, no tension or awkwardness. They were very just at this, given the see of having to do it virtually daily on tour. I was rather disappointed to see that Zac was jolly cold. He was the start at the table. It didn`t surprise me though, I`ve ever known that Zac was the more reserved type, but I was hoping that he would be himself, the Zac that you frequently see in Paramore`s funny videos. It was so difficult to get a grin from him.My store was slightly distorted, I couldn`t actually remember what I said, and what they said to me back. It was all so surreal to me, like the countless dreams I had about meeting Paramore. I probably said something like "Welcome to Malaysia!" and I couldn`t really learn what he said so I said, "sorry?". That was embarrassing. Next was Jeremy. He had a happy, happy smile on his face. He was warm, and said "hey!" and sign my album. I told him that I had him as my wallpaper, and that I rotate it around the 5 of them.Taylor. Oh my God, Taylor. Where do I start. First of all, the eyes. AH, I can just stare at `em forever. I told him that I like gnomes too (which is not actually true) and he laughed. Josh. I have imagined how it was similar to see him for the start sentence on innumerable occasions. Like virtually every other band member, he smashed a smile. He looked tired, can`t really blame them though, they must have been jet lagged. It was such a shame because I can`t actually remember what I said to him. All I remembered was the sound in my mind going "oh my God" repeatedly. My eye was beating so fast, it was difficult to focus on what was actually happening. Hayley was the liveliest though. She seemed like she truly wanted to be there, not that the rest didn`t, but it was especially evident in Hayley. She had her hair wrapped up in her famous bun with her newly dyed bangs covering her forehead. It felt weird, seeing these people that I`ve been seeing on TV and computer screens in actual life. They looked more proud than I set them out to be.After my turn, I stood at the end of the line, observing the interaction the band members had with my friends. Hayley asked one of my friends how to say "thanks" in Malay, and when she said "terima kasih" I was squealing like a fan girl inside. My sister had my red Paramore `nashville` t-shirt on, and Jeremy said "HEY! COOL SHIRT!" and I had to catch myself to make sure I wasn`t dreaming. Then the band got up, and we took pictures with them. They looked so big! To me, they looked almost like holograms, too serious to be true. I expected Hayley to be smaller. Asians are comparatively small, and I imagined Hayley to be smaller than an average asian. But she was nearly as big as my sister, and we are not normal Asian sized. Jeremy was so skinny, and tall!So I positioned myself beside Jeremy and in presence of Zac. Hayley was very cool, she said she liked my friend`s suspenders and necklace. After the photo, we fist-bumped and high fived the band members. I didn`t recognize that it was still possible to know them more. I shook Josh`s hand and congratulated to him. He looked confused. Of class I meant congratulations on his wedding, but it didn`t come to me to note it. He simply said thanks. Oh man, I had my eyes set on his lip ring. :DThen we had to go, so we said goodby to the band. Opposite the see and greet room, I noticed there was a way with a `Paramore, vocal warm up room` house on the door. I laughed to myself, Hayley had her own vocal warm up room. And of course, they had their dressing room next to it. I am still wait for them to print my photos. Also, Malaysian fans, I'd love to see your story!The ease of the post is at my tumblr.
