april 23 message

Been quite a long time I didn't wake up in the middle of the night to watch football.The last time I watched was a year ago AC VS MU, others also I recorded it and then watched it in the morning around 8/9. But tonight...I think I have to sleep late!
It's great if MU can have a kick to the goal !

april 22: blog update

TVB olympic themesong MV
Tuesday, 22 April 2008

Sorry Sorry!!!
haven't been updating my blog for a long time, recently i'm not so busy, however i still wrote so little, haha!
just filmed the TVB olympic MV, actually we filmed for 2 days, the first day (for filming) was last week, every singer had to choose or was given one of the olympic sports, everyone thinks that i will choose soccer, that's why i chose shooting, how can i always let u guess (accurately) what i chose! :)
As for last night it was very boisterous (rowdy, high spirited), although it felt hotter, but it was still pretty fun, there was a dance instructor? ! also, for every sentence there was a specific movement, when the MV is released we will be able to tell who was not coordinating with the rest... there is a big chance that it might be me... !

as for the concert VCD/DVD/Blu-ray, the 3rd version is still being edited, will try to be as fast as possible !

Of course I wish to accept the hosting job of TVB Beijing Olympics, it's an honour. Now, most of the time will do opening [ceremony?] in Beijing, really happy when I think of it. But everything also needs to wait for the final confirmation from TVB.
7 June will have a show in Macau, will bring all the actual helpers and musicians from Hong Kong's concert there. Also, I'm the first Macau Venetian person who has a concert with 4 sides stage. To all Macau, China, Hong Kong fans, see you then!

Canto album, preparing now. This time wanted to find a few composers that I never collaborated with before to write songs, especially the new generation, in China, HK or Taiwan also possibe, any suggestions?
When it will be released? It's hard to say, but it'll surely be released after the Olympics.
Tomorrow afternoon I'll attend Dai Bou's TVB show, seems like quite a while I haven't performed at an outdoors show.

At yesterday's JSG, i received lots of snacks/tidbits again. Does everyone think that I'm very skinny? Haha! But frankly speaking, on the things u guys give me, don't give too much snacks like chocolates. I 'ok like' chocolate, but not 'very like'. I like "picnic", "toberlone" and "M&M" chocolates but cannot eat too much ! "jack & kill" n "calbee" are quite good too, hehe! And also, sometimes when u guys bring me funny and interesting snacks from japan...some are okay but some are...anyway, I understand your good intentions...hehe! Anyway, thank you all!

Presents (29 March 2008)

Saturday, 29 March 2008

Coming back to Hong Kong (from US), I finally received this long awaited gift to myself, the Panerai Radiomir Black Seal watch. Currently, only 2 pieces of this watch is available in Hong Kong. Thanks to my good friend Eric So that I managed to get it. I feel like showing it off in front of Kam Pui Tat as soon as possible (he has been longing for it too), haha!

Besides me, Ryan has presents too. I bought him lots of clothes and toys from the US. Also, thanks to Adidas. Not only did they sponsor me, they sponsored my family too. Ryan's children clothes and shoes are very interesting, and he looks very cute in them!

As for the show in Atlantic City, the audience was much more passionate than I expected to be. That's because casino shows are usually more peaceful. All thanks to passionate US fans! Unfortunately, both shows' timing only allowed for a little over 2 hours. We planned everything according to the HK concert which lasted about 3 hours. I could do nothing, as I sang and heard (through my ear monitor) the casino's Fire Department members harshly requesting us to finish the show within 2 hours. If not, for every minute that we exceed, we'd be fined USD 20,000! Hence, we have to reduce songs. Frankly speaking, we could've performed 5 to 6 songs for the encore!

I really hope to perform longer in the US next time. Well, to be able to complete a whole show that is. I flew for over 10 hours, fans drove for several hours and a 130min show is just too short. If I have the chance to perform a full concert at Madison Square Garden, I'd be willing to do so even if i get paid half!

The CD for the concert in HK will be out in the beginning of April, followed by the VCD, DVD and Blu-ray. I'm looking forward to the Blu-ray version too. Hope that everyone of you will support!

In America already (23 March 2008)

23 March 2008

Toronto, it was really cold there! As i am extremely afraid of the cold weather, Toronto was like a giant refrigerator, if there was nothing special i will remain indoors, everyone can see the above pictures because i wanted to show u guys what it was like so i risked the cold weather and step out of the hotel, however i must admit that the snowing toronto was really beautiful.

on the 19 and 20 we still haven't left, because we had to make the visa for America,
fans in America please do not ask why did i had to make it so late, i don't even know the reason myself! (if it couldn't be made on time i also dunno what to do)

yesterday 21 reached NY, went to my favourite restaurant Peter Luger Steak House, the porterhouse steak here is the best steak i have ever eaten in America, as such it was rather difficult to make reservations, we tried to book 2 weeks in advance but there was still no place, waiters –'Ž©'R'nœ¡ (lol i dun get this part) , they don't even accept card, cash only! no choice, it was a good meal, i believe that i will continue to go there the next time.

We reached Atlantic City at night, i had a good sleep~ finally!!!!!!!!!!!
all fans in America, see u guys tonight/tomorrow!

[haha sorry i didnt get what he was saying this part -waiters –'Ž©'R'nœ¡ (was there a shortage of waiters? lol) -tricia
i think he mean the waiter there are rude/behaved badly??

Days in Toronto (19 March 2008)

Wednesday, 19 March 2008

The first day arrived, after woke up from sleep, this is the Toronto that I saw.
(the sentence beside the first picture)

Already arrived at Toronto, I slept for 10 hours during the flight, when I arrived it's already midnight. But I still haven't changed my timezone into the timezone here, until now I still can't sleep more than 4 hours, really can't sleep well! :(
On 17th, did a press conference and autograph session...

The whole shopping complex was full of fans, they were very passionate, at the same time I did a live radio station interview. Afterwards needed to rush to Casino Rama to do full dress rehearsal, after my work was done, I face the same problem again...I can't sleep again!
Last night's show (now is 8am in Toronto) was very successful, I'm in a good condition because the flu virus that sticked to me for more than 1 month has got away from me. Now I can sing well! No need to be like last two weeks, I have to be careful on using it! But after I returned to my room, again I face the same problem...

Again, I can't sleep! What should I do!

Luckily today I don't need to sing, only need to apply for my US visa, I wish I could find a place to watch MU!

The flu virus is really powerful, if you all have no important things to do, it's better to simply not go out, my chinese doctor told me that last time need only about 2 weeks to recover from flu but now need about 4 weeks, so must take care!

Going to board (the airplane), US and Canada's fans, see you all soon!

23rd? Of course I can't return on time! :(
