The month of April was the best month ever. I could relive it all over again and I'll never get sick of it!
Why?
You're gonna find out! ;)
I know L/\WSON (who's Lawson again? click on this link and scroll to #5!) came to Sydney two months ago and yeaaaaah I'm heaaaps slow to update this! After that 'Lawesome' week, my assignments were piling up like crazy - it was close to insane! And not to mention my finals after that assignment week! So glad I got to come around to finish this post!
Just a warning, this might be a spazzy, laskdjaslkdjaldkj and a-little-wordy post. Just letting you know! x
I will now give you each and every detail about my Lawson experience. Gonna get down and dirty.... bahahaha, I kid.
Sooooo when L/\WSON announced the Asia tour dates, I was close to screaming my head off. Was really excited when they announced about Malaysia- Kuala Lumpur and Australia- Sydney tour dates, these two countries because Malaysia's my hood and I'm currently at Australia! I remember tuning in to NovaFM (Australia's radio station) online while I was at home in Malaysia, listening to Smallzy's nasally blabber while jumping each time he mentions the name Lawson.
Happiest tweets summed up in two pictures.
So my story pretty much started when Lawson were in Malaysia on the 2nd week of April. I wasn't at Malaysia, but my sister is.
There was this Live Stream by GUA Malaysia - that was held a day before their showcase - that allowed the boys to interact with the fans via live stream while the fans (and I) go full on rage on our keyboards and spamming away at the chat box to hope Lawson gets a millisecond look of what we ask and they'll answer.
It went on for about 30 minutes. 30 freaking minutes omg it's like, 30 minutes of a giddy euphoria and madness for me.
The good thing was: the lads answered at least 3 of my questions! All generic stuff like "What have you been doing in Malaysia?" "Do you like our weather?" and stuff like that.
The bad thing was: I got banned from chat a couple of times because of spamming (nothing unusual in a fan girl hey!)
And the BEST thing was they did this 'shout out' to the fans part and they'll say your name if they see it on chat.
.. Well they did see mine. Joel spotted it and he said it first, then Ryan...
and the best thing of all....
Andy sang my name.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he's my ultimate fav !!!!!!!!!!!!
(and he's the lead singer of Lawson)
You know the song Jolene by Dolly Parton?
He sang it straight away when he saw my name.
And immediately after that, Joel went like "is there any other fans named Jolene?" because Andy's giving too much fan service to me at this part!
I'm happy that my name is unique! Sorta.
AAAAND thank the heavens that they got this live stream archived.
Click to watch 8 seconds of my happiest 8 seconds of my life.
And I remember straight after he sang, I freaking screamed in my room! YEP, NOT ASHAMED ABOUT IT. One of the Lawson boys saw my sister's name too! I was on Skype with my sister as well while both of us were spamming the lads away on the chat, and we were just all alksdjalskdjoqwijlkjalfkjfoiqjosdalkjlzxkj seriously can't anymore.
That ended after half an hour and the boys said that they are stoked to play for the Malaysian crowd on the next day.
I remember I was at home on the night L/\WSON was playing at Kuala Lumpur and was very nervous because I was in the middle of discussing the plans of L/\WSON s airport welcome at Sydney's airport with a few Lawson fans on chat. This was my first time doing something like this!
I'm never this fan girly until I know that the airport is so easily accessible for me - because the place I'm living at is near to the airport and the buses are so convenient, so why not? It's all easy access, so I'm not letting opportunity go!
Back in Malaysia, it takes 40 minutes to drive to the airport because it's situated out from the city and public transport is so not convenient there. And also Malaysian's artist security is crazy so I don't like the idea of greeting artists from the airport.
The day after the Malaysia's gig, (if I remembered correctly) Andy, the lead singer in L/\WSON was on the line with one of the DJs in Australia, talking about their show in Australia and such.
I was online streaming the radio station, listening to their conversation, while tweeting stuff to the lads like normal fan girls do.
And to my surprise, Andy saw it and he replied!
And just the day before they flew to Aussie!
That made me even more excited than before!
The next day, my friends and I woke up early and caught a bus to the airport and met up with a few other friends. We waited at Terminal 2 and we saw a few other fans waiting there too. 10 minutes, 20 minutes... and apparently we waited at the wrong place. I'm not blaming any sources for this but oh god, some fans who actually found out and ran away first and left us all clueless, ugh so annoyed.
After running for like 10 minutes, frantically trying to find the lads, I finally spotted a tall guy wearing a gray beanie and I realized that it was Andy. I ran like mad!
Went towards the group of tall and good looking guys and my brain instantly recognized each and everyone of their faces. THEY ARE SO HANDSOME WTF.
I was shaking and like, fumbling with the camera and I forgot to even turn on my camera. Andy noticed that it wasn't on and he said in his Scouse accent "this isn't turn on yet". Omfg help. He had his hands behind me while waiting for me, he saw other fans waiting and he attended them first. Omg my heart was racing at that time and I was like 'Camera pls' (yeah my camera is old..)
I wanted to take pictures with other members too so I asked a random to take the picture of Andy and I for me.
But of course my old camera didn't do justice when it comes to shaky pictures.
Andy's holding my gift hehe.
L-R: Ryan, Joel and Adam! I'm devastated that the pictures came out so bad! :(
I was too hyped up so I just recorded some random videos of the boys lol
Ryan saying hello (;
And a video still of Joel and I!
Kinda followed the boys into their van, and I made Ryan do a shoutout to my sister!
They left afterwards then my friends and I went back to uni to resume classes. (I wonder how's that possible..)

I was so busy for the past few months and I can't even put up the whole post... will update the next part soon I hope!
