My Christmas Was Very Happy (Wednesday, 26 December 2007)

This year's Christmas, really a bit different!
On the 24th, at TVB recorded an HD program that will be aired on the night of the 31st...


After the recording, immediately rushed back to my old home to have (in) my whole life, the first 3 person Christmas meal, quite a good feel (feeling)!
Wish all my friends, fans Merry Christmas, happy everyday!

Finished my show, still need to film the promo, so I just reached home.
The show was fun, really enjoyed the duet with Eason, he's a great singer, we like to sing the chord, our voices matched too, very fun!
Thanks to the fans that came to support, but if (there were) more people,the atmosphere sure would be much better!

TVB Music Special (Sunday, 16 December 2007)

The recording for my TVB music special will be on 19 December.

Before this, I filmed 3 music specials with TVB, each time was very ''star light bright'' (a lot of famous guest stars), the first time was already a long time ago, called "Yit Long Mai Ching", guest partners were Shirley,Vivian,Lau Siu Wai,Lam Weng Han. The second time was on 1993, called "Suddenly Looks Back On",Siu Mei was the director, guests were Anita Yuen, Cally, Vivian, Kah Sing, Dan... . The third time was on 2002, called "Fa Mong Ngoi Dik Yi Yan", guests were Andy Lau, Cecilia Cheung, Emme Wong, Flora Chan, Gigi Leung, Kenix Kwok....The guests were more powerful than the lead actor, haha!

This time? No longer is in story format, Eason will appear on 19th, we will sing each other songs and duet some songs,I will be singing "Fu C San Ha(eason's song)"! Besides, Sammi and I will have a part, chatting, singing, quite a long time both of us didn't work together already,very looking forward to it! Lastly, still have a "Chi Kan Fan Kuk ('be my guest' hacken's version)", Stephen Chan will be interviewed by me! Wow...can't wait !

Fan Club have tickets for the 19th show, all fans, see you then!

hacken's message: Dec. 9 at 9:46am

On yesterday's Tung Wah Charity Show, things were not very successful when I was singing "Goodbye Concert Hall". Those who have watched will know that I was standing on a moving stage (erm, not very sure about the track part..i haven't watch his performance, lol) and there wasn't any monitor. Hence, I had to put on 2 earphones. However, the sound of the piano was not very concentrated and I could not figure out the key properly. For the first part of my singing, I sang under "a key I wasn't very sure of" type of situation. Until "maybe things cannot light up" (one line of the lyrics), a short piece of music came by and I was finally able to hear the key. When I rewatched my performance at home, I felt a little strange at the start. There was a flaw, but it couldn't be helped. Live programs are like this, I can only make up for it with tonight's performance!

A Close Shave

Sunday, 9 December 2007

Today, I went to the Hong Kong International Races 2007 event. As I made my way there, the car suddenly broke down while I was in the middle of Tseung Kwan O tunnel. It was not a very good sight. Luckily, the tunnel crew had high efficiency, for they arrived within 10 minutes and towed my car away. Not only that, they flagged a taxi for me as well. Finally, I was able to rush down Sha Tin Race course before 11.30am. I was nearly scared to death! (and nearly shocked the organisations to their deaths as well)

Birthday~Presents

Birthday~Presents
Friday, 7 December 2007

Birthday, it was meant to be a happy occasion.

Yesterday, I took Ryan for a check up at the pediatrician's. He's very healthy- grew taller by 7cm and weighs 10 pounds and 10 ounces. He's in good condition. At night, I went to have my meal. When I returned home, there was a birthday cake waiting for me...
Little did I know that I would be shocked when I flipped the papers this morning. A blog that was not meant to be viewed by the public appeared in the headlines of C1! (the section where they have all the entertainment stuff) Frankly speaking, less than 20 people knew about this blog and these people are our closest ones and friends. We've never thought about letting others see this. Hence, I really wish to know who the informer is.

Of course, we do have some responsibility as well. If we wanted to keep it a secret, we shouldn't even have published a blog. Let's take it as a lesson learned!

I do not blame the papers. I just feel a little...scared, they're (the paparazzi) really powerful...they enter every pore and exist everywhere!
("they enter every pore" was a loose translation - it just means that they tend to get hold of you very tightly and yep..exist everywhere!! )

Booking tickets to the concert using credit card

Tuesday, 4 December 2007

I can hardly contain my excitement about this good news: the first day of booking tickets through the credit card...yielded excellent results! Compared to the previous concert, tickets sales increased by one time on the first day! Hurry if you wanna buy them! Of course, I would like to thank all of you who have purchased the tickets. I will definitely do my best for this concert!
Those friends that have spent a lot of time calling (for tickets) but still have not gotten through, it's a shame, hope you'll continue to try hard, please add oil, many thanks for the support!

Back to the fan club party in Dec 2, I was very happy to see fans who have supported me for so many years. Some of them have married, gave birth and some even brought along their boyfriends. There were overseas fans as well, and fans who have recently joined the fan club. I welcome you guys to bring along your friends, relatives and family along the next time.

I received lots of presents for me, Emily, and Ryan. I wanted to take a picture of every present and then post them up here, but there were just too many presents! If I were to do so, it would probably take hours. I really do not have the time and can only thank you all!


After the party, I went to a recording for the Roadshow. Eric Suen has been my good friend for years, Ah K is a new friend. As for Kelvin Kwan...he was only a few years old when I knew him! I once worked with his father at Polygram, his father is an excellent producer and I was a newbie singer. No one knew that I would work with his son more than 10 years later!

Lastly...that magazine...sigh!

Why? We are all working in the entertainment circle, why must they be so bad?

We are fine, we do not have any werid diseases, can only blame the WEIRD BOOK!
(pun indicated, though i dunno if hacken meant it but it can contain 2 meanings, the other one being: only have a WEIRD BOOK!)

Hacken's new message: nov. 25, 1:13pm


First time singing "Goodbye Concert Hall" at last night's show, really got a little nervous, scared I will forget the lyrics, also because at the "Bak Kui show" need to sing full version, and "TVB" was only 2 and a half minutes version, lyric's grouping is different, very scared will be wrong, luckily nothing happened. The only minor problem was when i was singing at the "TVB show", audio friend forget to turn off Joey's microphone, hence...i'm able to listen to what Joey and Wong Jo Lam were discussing about while i'm singing, besides i heard them talking about my song too! I have sung for 20 years and this matter, really was the first time it happened, by the way, once already enough, it's terrible (wui sei yan)!
Also, these few days received many presents for Ryan from fans, thank you so much!

new blog post: Your Hacken Concert Hall 8~14 Feb 08 (nov. 22)

Thursday, 22 November 2007

On Monday night, everyone prepared a lot of roses, nice clothes, musical instruments, went to CK's Chai Wan studio, took pictures for the "Your Hacken Concert Hall" concert poster.

Behind me are some musicians in my concert. Gathering six of us to take a picture together already was a very difficult matter because they all often go to different countries to perform, from the last mid-month until now only on Monday everyone was present, finally, we took [pictures] for 5 hours, finally done, of course the one above was just a reference, the official one maybe will be much nicer.

The new album will be released tomorrow, 11 in the morning will have a Shuk Mui Jeh's phone in [an interview by telephone?], new song "Goodbye Concert Hall" already plugged, 24th still gonna sing live, very scared ar!


Ryan already 1 month old, last night had a simple 'Mun Yut Fan' with family, of course still have Red Egg!
Wish Ryan healthy everyday, happy always!

Recording@Alex's Studio
Friday, 9 November 2007

Yesterday's recording really didn't go smoothly, the recording started from 1100 until 1800, still haven't completed!
Have a fast song to record, actually not difficult to sing, however we have to record many tracks, some songs were really high octave and some songs were low, also two sounds double track, in addition have recorded more than 10 times, moreover the lyrics changed for over 10 times too, I feel so sorry to Lam Yuo Ning because we keep changing it, Lam Yuo Ning sure will feel that Alex and I were very annoying, Sorry Sorry !
No choice,we also want the thing to be good !

Today was better, in the afternoon tried to sing Edmond's piano version, in the evening still can retake yesterday's cover version, Lam Yuo Ning again wrote me a new version's lyrics, once again, thank you so much!

I read all your messages, I noticed that I have fans from Manchester. Actually, last year i went to Manchester once, went to take pictures (his wedding pics), hehe! Very unforgettable! But except went to Austria, I didn't have much time for shopping, actually how is Manchester? Everyone loves to watch soccer?
People from Manchester can often meet Rooney, C7 (
Cristiano Ronaldo)?

hacken's blog updated: TV Addict (Nov. 6)

TV Addict
Tuesday, 6 November 2007

I've always been a TV addict since i was young. Frankly, during those days, who isn't?

From 'A House is not a Home', 'kwong chiu', 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly', 'Legend of the Book and the Sword', 'Heaven Sword & Dragon Sabre', 'Police Cadet', 'Justice Of Life' etc, I have watched them all, from the beginning until the end, while having my dinner.

Now, after growing up, not much free time to spare for TV viewing, but I still watch a lot of TV programs. For example 'Heart of Greed', I have watched over half of it. While watching it, I can’t help but to think, how would it feel if I were to take up one of the roles? Kinda like to try out “Tack Tack Dei's” role!

I’m also a real big fan of American soap operas!
From 'Sex in the city', '24', 'CSI', 'Six Feet Under', 'Lost' until the recent 'Heros', I’ve watched them all. Even for those that are not as famous, such as 'O.C', 'Two and a half men', 'L word' were also among those programs that I’ve spent time watching. I've just finished 'entourage' season 3 last night. Each episode was about 20 minutes. Not too long, watching one to two episodes before sleep is not a bad thing to do! It is not like '24' and 'Prison Break', once you watch, you can’t stop until you finish everything!

After watching so many different shows all these years, the one I like best is still 'Friends'. It's simple, a cast of six and no more. 95% done in the studio, from his home to her home, but it is good enough to make you laugh until tears coming out, over and over again, within every 8 to 10 secs. And it ran for 10 years while each of the cast became rich and richer. If you have not watched it, congratulations, quickly go and buy a set, you will sure to be laughing non-stop!

So, there are HK dramas, American shows and soccer games. Now you know why i don't go out!

My Maternity Leave @ home
Friday, 2 November 2007

Since after last month's 20th TVB Yan Oi Tong Charity Show, I already started my maternity leave, but my maternity leave isn't "front 4 back 6" (it's normal for all working mum to take leave 4 weeks before the baby birth and 6 weeks after that as maternity leave). Starting next week, I have to go back to work. (should be, tomorrow night maybe will has a big chance to start my work! :) I think I'm just able to watch half the match of Man.U vs Arsenal)

New song + special (CD), another 2 songs to record, still waiting for the lyrics, maybe will record at the end of next week! Total 3 new songs, 1 is from Eric Kwok, 1 is from Edmond Tsang, and another is a cover version, hopefully end of November will be able to release.

This afternoon,we brought Ryan for a medical checkup, the doctor said Ryan was healthy and also heavy for 10 ounces, proving that we are quite good at taking care of him! haha!

I'm back
Thursday, 1 November 2007

My computer was having some problems last few days, therefore, I was unable to update the blog, and could not delete the comments (someone hacked into hacken's blog and posted some offensive comments!) as well, giving me a whole lot of headache. After fixing the problems this morning, somehow again, got into other technical problems, either I don't delete anything, or i was forced to delete all, finally... this is the outcome of it.

Please do not feel sorry about it because I have already read every single comment, every blessing, every word, and will keep them well in my heart. Of course, if you don't mind the trouble and would like to leave your comment again, you are always welcome to do so.

Also, I've got another idea. When you are leaving your comment, can you also leave your location? For example: Siew Ming@Bak Kok, Irene@Toronto, etc, so that I'll be able to know where you are from, ok?

Taking care of a baby is really a busy task, busier than filming a drama, but sometimes I also don't know why I'm so busy. Overall, it's all the 'sap sap sui sui', 'hang lei hang hui' thing (walk here and walk there), haha!

Sunday, October 28, 2007

Finally, we are home!
After staying in the hospital for approximately 6 days, we are finally allowed to come home. Thanks to Dr. Leung, Dr. Hiew and Dr. Pang, and of course those nurses, sisters, aunties and secure 'kor kor' (security "big brothers" haha.), helping us through our "first time" safely. Thank you so much!

Thank you all the friends from the media for understanding and giving us 'some' privacy. Though I knew that there was a particular magazine that used a 'lifter' to get to my house for pictures, but... Anyway, we were not home yet, so...kinda lucky in a way for us, as they've missed us! But really hope that this won't happen again. Thank you very much!


I would like to tell all my friends who care about us that Ryan is a good boy and Emily is fine, I too, did not suffer from any post-maternity disorder, haha!

A little bit overloaded is for sure, but... kinda happy to be overloaded in a way!
When Peanut and Butter saw us, they were so happy!

Becoming a father is truly an amazing thing!
Seeing Ryan getting bigger and bigger everyday (should say every second) gives me a very special feeling that is hard to describe. Ryan looks different everyday. And I just couldn't stop taking down every cute expression of his, thanks to the help from my new camera!
A lot of friends visited us and brought gifts for Ryan. But of course not like what the magazine stated. Talking about the magazine, today, there was another magazine that reported on the entire process of our story, so detailed, just like they were staying at our house, haha!
Actually we've also prepared some gifts to repay our friends. We've already ordered chocolates and bubble gum cigars from the USA. But didn't expect Ryan to be born so early, so we can only change the date by ourselves!

I am a father now!
On the morning of October 22, Ryan came to the world slightly earlier. He weighs about 3kg, both mother and son are alright.
Initially, I thought of announcing it 3 days later, when Emily and Ryan have settled down better. But the paparazzi in Hong Kong is indeed powerful. When they were unable to trail us, they followed our parents. That's why today, at the entrance of the hospital, things got very chaotic!
Never mind (I cannot 'mind' it), it's a happy occasion after all. Ryan is very obedient and cute. Thank you for all your concerns and wishes, especially Alan Tam's, who replied to the media on my behalf. He was very helpful!

Wow! So many people congratulated us, thanks you very much!

A new item of fancy...
Friday, October 19, 2007

I'm not someone who likes to simply waste money, or rather, I'm well over the age of wasting money! However, I cannot resist myself from doing so and kept changing and updating my electronics!
There's no need to mention mobile phones and PDAs. The computer, from 20 years ago till now, it has changed from a PC to a Mac, I could not remember how many units I've changed. Also, the walkman from the past, discman, vcd player, dvd player and later the MP3 player, ipod etc. I've not yet included my Hi-Fi camera, video cam..., my heart started to ache just thinking of all these but I just can't stop!
The latest member is the CANON EOS40D, it's very fun and the photo quality is quite good. Maybe I'll buy the advance lens later and fire back at the paparazzi! Wow! A man has many excuses indeed!
I should be performing during the last part tomorrow night. I was on the cover 2 days ago [of a magazine], I think the reporters tonight are sure to come to me with a list of weird questions. I gotta think of how to reply them!

Lastly, I would like to tell all my friends here, you all don't have to congratulate me so fast!

論武功 俗世中不知邊個高
(When it comes to martial arts, we never know who is the best in this world.
this is one of the lyrics from Roman Tam's song, about martial arts that's why it's a relevant title.)


Saturday, October 13, 2007

Yesterday, I did a "happy" show!
The International China Martial Arts Grand Ceremony took place at Shenzhen Bao An Stadium yesterday. Many highly skilled martial arts experts were present. I feel very honoured to be one of the guests but I'm even happier to be able to meet Mr. Jin Yong!

I was already mesmerized by his works when I was still a student (which guy doesn't fancy his work?), like Legend of The Condor Heroes, Condor Heroes, The Heavenly Sword of Dragon Sabre, Romance of the Book and Sword and so on, I've read them all not only once, but several times. And I hoped that one day, I'll be able to meet the master behind them. Hence, when I knew that I will be meeting him that day, I was already very happy for a few days. I even brought along the old novel that my father left me, hoping that he would autograph it for me.

Before I performed, the exciting moment came...

He was very friendly, graceful, and shaked my hand affably. He agreed to my requests on taking photos and autograph, and even wrote me this:

"Mr. Hacken Lee
The sentiments of the old novel will always be new
Jin Yong" (hm, i don't know how to read 1 word in that line he wrote but i guess the meaning is something like this)

Really extremely happy!

I nearly forgot what I had to sing next!

This week also having meetings, discussed about the poster and stage design, tomorrow will go to Shenzhen have a Chinese Wushu show,will sing 3 songs from Jin Yong's martial arts series.

The whole place full of lightsticks? Firstly it is too expensive, secondly nothing special, we hope to present something very special and useful for all the audience.

Hehe! I'm not that smart!
Ashamed! Ashamed!
Recently already started the recording for new album, this time will be new song+ special selected, for the last time my special selected was at the end of 03 Custom Made, the time passed so fast!
There will be about 3 or 4 CDs, will have about 3 new songs(depends on time), also some songs that wasn't released in an album before, examples the themesong of "Dicey Business",1st recording is from Eric Kwok + Lam Yuo Ning (the person who wrote where has the flower gone), AGAIN, because the response was good for the last time! :)

hacken's blog updated: 36 hours in San Francisco

36 hours in San Francisco
Sunday, October 7, 2007

0700 (7am),finally I'm back home!
This time went to SF,overall only 36 hours,the advantage is that there is no need to get used to the jet lag,(on the) 5th fly from HK,SF time was 5th 1400 (2pm) arrived,in the afternoon went for press con [conference]...

After the press con we also visited the place that a group of ''Family Bridge'' Brother & Sisters (he means all those old ladies & gentlemen) stayed,they look very energetic and warmly welcomed me,I also sang 'Gao Fun Yu Mong' along happily,I think among all my songs they only knew this one!

Later then went to the nearby mall to walk around,bought some AF T-shirts,after an hour went back to hotel, ordered room service,here i wanna say sorry to the sponsors,because we didn't fo to their welcome dinner, everyone was very tired.
Actually this charity concert,of course everything is for gathering donations for the charity as the main highlight,so don't have a big budget,can't bring dancers,can't bring sound man,band only can have 7 members,because of this, my assistant Terry had to follow up on communications, costumes, FM and even help me to change,it was really tough on him,that's why before the show started also don't have time to take pictures. There's room for improvement for the the venue, we requested 24 monitors, at the end only have 13,hence everyone on stage had difficulty hearing,and the house's sound system can be better,my SF friends said they can't listen clearly,but these didn't effect the atmosphere,SF fans are really very passionate! Actually I already prepared for the 2nd encore,but some mature's audiences already started to left,i think they scared too late! Next time sing again la!
The show started at 1930 (7:30pm),end at 2200 (10pm),it's my first time bathing at the venue of the performance after the show and leaving after that,2330 (11:30pm) arrived at the airport's lounge, only able to sit down nicely and eat a cup of instant noodles,0120 (1:20am) board the plane, so overall it's 36 hours.
Lastly wanna thank all ''Family Bridge'' staff,thanks for your kindness,unfortunately can't stay longer!

The Presidents Cup 總統盃
Monday, October 1, 2007

First of all wanna thank you for everyone's messages! Seems like I will have to write more!
These few days, watching the Presidents Cup, it's a golf tournament once every 2 years only, this time will be the US team vs International team. Actually, watching live shows for golf tournaments is very 'difficult' entertainment, firstly, normally it will be at night even starting at midnight, will have 4 days matches, a few hours for a day, have to watch it completely, not that easy!
So, normally i will record the whole tournament and enjoy watching it later, also can skip the commercials and skip all the boring player and clips, also [only when u] can fast forward, then will have a chance to watch it completely! (actually i just watched until day 3, still have day 4 haven't watched yet, but i watch until i forget which ones i watched and which one i haven't watch yet!)

Next year's concert
Thursday, October 4, 2007

Man Utd won a match prior to yesterday's night and needless to say, I'm very happy. Hence, I wore a black t-shirt with Rooney on it to work yesterday! (football fans are like that, we're that 'stupid'!)
Recently, I've been meeting up with various music professionals in preparation for next year's concert. We all hope to find suitable people to perform suitable songs, bringing a surprise for everyone. The concert this time is most likely to be the one I desire in my heart. The show has music as the main highlight for the night. It would be best to have a band of 10 people consisting of professionals for the different instruments. Hope to also have a beautiful yet simple stage and effects that go well with the songs (not those unnecessary ones) and time to interact with the audiences, and guests who have a certain status etc...so on and so on...It's easier said than done, but I will do my best to achieve it.
Remember, the second day of the lunar new year will be the first day of the concert! Please support!

Regarding some of your questions:
- I'll be unable to attend the walkaton for Wah Yan College. I'm performing at San Francisco on the 6th
- The picture in the golf entry was taken at Clearwater Bay Golf Club
- I'll read all your comments, that's for sure

*** HACKEN'S FIRST POST AT HIS BLOG *** (Sept. 29)

Opening my blog on Mid-Autumn's Festival

Saturday, 29 September 2007

After so many years, this is the first time which I do not have to work on Mid-Autumn Festival's night. Hence, I invited a group of friends to come party at my place. We initially decided to have BBQ but the weather was bad. In the end, we had a "buffet" instead where everyone brings a food item over. Liza Wang brought Smoked Chicken which tasted very good. Benny's roasted meat 比較”行”了. (maybe he's saying the roast meat was better) Gigi brought desserts and timing did average. The one with the least contribution was Poon Ka Tak, he actually brought~tea leaves!
It's been a long time since I got to promote my songs 3 days in a row on TV. On Monday, I attended JSG, Wai Yin, and Basic Law show. And today, I don't have to work. I can watch soccer at home. Hope that Man Utd will win the match later, treat it as a congratulations to the opening of my blog!
Everybody, remember to come here frequently, and leave more messages...

Come and talk! (read in cantonese ''mai lei tai mai lei gong'', sounds like he's selling something and asked his fans to buy..i heard that before at the night market..haha..but that one is ''come and choose''(in cantonese ''mai lei tai mai lei gan'')

9/28:

Just came back from TVB.
The recording for some shows these few days were completed quite fast, yesterday night was "Wai yin nga jap", tonight is "Gei boon fat", and still sang "Ji fan" ("paper marriage").
In relation to "Joh suen tuen" (I've no idea what is this), as I thought that Mrs. Yip is the suitable candidate, thus I've already let the reporters knew about it, you all can have a look at the newspaper 2 days later.

Wah! New Blog opened, really full of joy!
I also wish everyone Happy (China) National Day!
These few days have to prepare for San Francisco concert, the band leader for this concert has been changed to Richard Yean, because Ah Hei has to be the band leader for Wah Zai's (andy lau's) concert, so got a lot of songs that have to be rearranged again, the duration of the band rehearsal will be longer.

Really very tired!

3rd plug?
Company (UMG) has decided to plug "Team of Brazil Girls". I think should plug a different style than the 1st and 2nd plugged song. If it will be "Fun Cha How" or "Goodnight," would be very hard to plug, and we have considered it for quite a long time, we like "Fun Cha How" very much too.

David (David Garrett) will come to HK by next week, will have more cooperation chances with him, sort of (at) JSG... , he is a nice guy.

This time going to KL was truly a very rushed trip, overall only stayed for 15 hours. for the show, I was supposed to sing 3 songs, but once reached KL, the organizer requested to cut 1 song because of overrun, also requested me not to sing fast songs? Because don't want the audience mood too high ! ! ? I also for the 1st time faced these kind of questions!
Thank you, KL fans's presents, also those at the airport, btw, presents only represent the heart, not necessary to be expensive or the size (big), next time don't give too precious things.

Later I have to go to TVB early, have to rehearse for "Where Will The Flowers Fall", closing, full dress rehearsal. In the midst of it I have to attend an interview by a watch magazine, very packed!!!

Luckily after all this i can watch manchester united when i get home..

Sept. 2, 2007

Everybody need not worry, there's nothing wrong with me, just that i contracted some skin related disease, feeling all itchy over. I've taken medicine already and feel very "cow" (i think he means drowsy). I believe that I'll be alright in a few days.
I know that fans who turned up in the jackets yesterday must've felt hot. We're thinking, can add a T-shirt so that fans won't suffer during summer, but looking from the TV, the jackets look very orderly and nice.

of course if won't rain and won't be hot will be the best!

Today's football (soccer) competition, honestly, win or lose is not important. Everyone is rushing during summer, sweating, having some excersise, but if the competition could be planned to start at 5pm it would be much better!
