dec. 28: From Las Vegas, return trip...

Sunday, 28 December 2008

last year i have tried staying in San Francisco for only 36 hrs, this time its even more "geng-劲“ [difficult/worse?], i was in LV for only 34 hrs. within 3 days i flew from HK~LV~HK and it was all within less than 5 hrs apart, 勁呀 ["ging ah" = so cool or so great]!

but the whole thing was pretty tiring, earning money is never easy! when i arrived in LA we were told that we were unable to travel by car to LV due to the snow storm, causing jams on the road. thus we had to travel through the domestic flight. however traveling by air caused us to wait for 7 hrs before we could board the plane. in the end, according to american time, it was 25th dec, at about 9 plus (in the night) that we finally reached LV. upon arrival we had to follow up with the rehearsal.

the show on the 26th started off pretty slowly as the audiences in the US always do. previously in the Atlantic City show it was also like that. it was only after half an hour later did the audience become more enthusiastic. from the second half till the encore were the best moments. the whole show only ended at 1120. i sincerely thank those who came to show their support and also those who specially flew in to watch the show, especially sister Gigi and my secondary school principal Yu sir.

after the show, due to the different time zone, i couldn't sleep till 6 in the morning when we were leaving for the airport to take the 0725 plane from LV to SF and then back to HK. however the "black" lady at the immigration was to "warm" in "greeting" us, she was too "detailed" when going through our luggage, that she wasted a lot of time...eventually causing us to miss our flight!

hence we had to rush + check for any other flights, purchasing the air tickets again, checking in again, and of course check in our luggage again, for another flight at 0930, hoping that we would reach SF punctually at 1110. after that we would have to rush for the original connecting flight at 12 back to HK. we only had 45 mins interval for the transit and the flight was at a different terminal,so we had to rush like mad people to make it in time for our connecting flight...luckily, it all went the right way, we reached HK on 28th at about 7pm, according to HK time.

this story has taught us a lesson, next time....if u are going or coming back from US, u MUST remember to be at the airport much earlier, much earlier, much earlier,much earlier,much earlier, much earlier, much earlier, much earlier, much earlier, much earlier, much earlier, much earlier, much earlier, much earlier, much earlier, much earlier.

感謝主![thank god! (?)]

dec. 7: Birthday...happy...thanks to all!


Sunday, 7 December 2008

I received many birthday cakes for this year and all of them tasted great. This one has the nicest physical appearance (the one in the pic), thanks to Sabatini's fat boy Ah Man. (dunno who..?)

I did not rest even though it was my birthday. I was very happy at today's show, I could see the astronauts close up and sing with them. One of them even asked Alan while on stage, saying that he would like to go see our concert next year. Alan even exchanged numbers with him on the spot. Of course, I too hope that he will come! It's an honour!

The rehearsal on 6th December... (title for the pic)

Actually, I appeared in another show before this. It was the TVB Road Safety show which will be out around mid or end December. The wind was blasting hence it was colder than the venue of the astronauts' show. I was the first one to sing, but before that, I was exposed to 25 minutes of strong wind in the stand by open area...

nov. 29: Fan Club Party on ship


Saturday, 29 November 2008


Before this, my blog had some problem, all of you were unable to leave comments but i'm so busy these days, I have no time to solve it.It's Apple MobileMe's server had changed, next time you all can visit here:
http://web.me.com/leehacken/Site/Blog/Blog.html

Today's party on the ship was kinda funny, really have a seasick feel but it's fresh. Don't need everytime be at a hotel, look so lou zheng. (means dun need to be everytime just at the same place, seems like so faithful to one place only,something like that la.)
Everyone listening to new songs together, chatting, taking photos, look casual. Thank you for everyone's presents, mushrooms and fruits i can have it but those snacks i think i have to wait until after concerts, only then can eat it. The homemade photo album was great, even 'Lee's This Family' this title also can let you all thought of it,really formidable(lei hoi)!
Of course still have Ryan's toys, MU shirts, pants, socks etc and also... red packets, haha!

Next time have 'pun choi'? (dunno how to explain,a big pot inside with alot of different dishes!)
Good Idea!

nov. 23 message~

Wahhh! what a busy weekend!
Of course, its the same for the fans who followed me for 2 consecutive shows last night.
The date of release for the new album? this time i want to avoid rushing all the stuff, hoping that it will be after the 2nd plug "今夕是何年" plug till "咁上下", because this time there are really too many good songs and do not want to waste such an opportunity. the actual date will be left for universal to decide.
Malaysia's "高妹" (tall girl)? hehe...might have been very nervous during the performance that night, that's why i was talking gibberish on stage. everyone should encourage her more, and hope that she would not take it so seriously.
Have been attending meetings for "左麟右李演唱會" (left alan right hacken/neighbors (friends) concert) for the past few weeks, ticket sales will open officially in December. when the dates have been confirmed will inform u all immediately.

so it seems that u guys had to wait outside last night for one hour in the strong wind, i'm sorry, i really had no idea, it was due to a routine sound check, didn't want to be interrupted, hopefully there aren't any fans who fell ill because of this!
Tonight u guys must remember to shout louder! i will do my best in singing!

....................

Uploaded some pictures from recent events.
Have been really busy for the past few weeks, went to Macau for 2 days, on the 20th of December will go back for the celebrations (the china-hk thingy), so on the 9th, was helping them in a photo-shoot to help promote the event.
Have also begun preparations for the "左麟右李" concert, working out and keeping fit, so everyone should stop sending me any kind of snacks, haha!
"When it is evening" has been decided to be the second plug, it should plug within 2 days. there are many upcoming shows and definitely many opportunities for me to sing this song.
Had a good day's rest today, will be jetting to KL tomorrow, all KL, Singapore fans, are u guys ready?

november 1~ message




I've been real busy recently, hence the lack of messages.

Gonna tie up the new album. Spent 2 weeks' time writing lyrics for the song Eason composed. Also, I need to rehearse for "Jade Singers" (the tvb celebration show). On 15th Nov, I have a concert in KL, and of course, there's more...it's 90% confirmed that there will be an "Alan & Hacken" concert. It will be around the 6th or 7th day in the Lunar New Year Calendar. We don't know how many shows we can have, it depends on the East Asian Games. What I can say now is, this time round, the stage effects and even me and alan..we will give everyone lots of "surprise"!
The photos from KL, I will upload them for everyone. Thanks to KL fans for the gifts.
As for the blog, I have no idea what's wrong and no time to fix it yet. Maybe next week!
Tonight's Jade Singers TVB Celebrations, I will appear with Alan in the last part. It can be said that this is the first time we appear on TV after we've come together again, see you tonight!

In sudden downpour "Yangjiang” (oct.19)


In sudden downpour "Yangjiang”

Sunday, 19 October 2008


Went to Yangjiang City for a show last night, it's a program by the Southern Television Station. it took about 4.5 hours to reach by car and another 4.5 hours to come back. it's about the same time it takes to go to japan! sang a total of 3 songs, very happy to be able to meet fans from Yangjiang City for the first time. but the time spent in the car was rather long!

Actually at last week's 世博會's (shanghai expo) press conference...



was interviewed together with Khalil Fong by Scoop, touch and Milk...



As for the new album, hope that all the recording sessions would be done by next week.

National Day celebrations@macau REPLY***

National Day celebrations@macau REPLY***
Friday, 3 October 2008


On the 1st and 2nd of october was at macau doing a show at Forum de Macau (綜藝館), was there to celebrate national day with residents in macau.
For the past few years i have been going over there for shows, of course that includes the recent concert in june, hehe, i think there will be another show in december! i love macau, it may be because when i was young, we always went over. plus, both of my parents were from macau, i always have that kind of cordial feeling.
Whenever i visit macau, i will have to do one thing, that is to takeaway 氹仔水蟹粥 (some crab porridge). i dont know why, the crab porridge here is just so delicious. the best thing that happened once was that, i tried taking away(da pau) a big pot of it and brought it back to hk. i had to eat it all that night as it would be not that nice if it was left overnight!

"JSG"? it's either the coming wednesday or the wednesday after next.
"歌星賀台慶" (the annual celebrations for singers)? hehe...i think there should be...there will also be a part...hehe! the recording progress? it's still rather slow, next will be recording Jan's song.
are there any other questions? :)

after the san seng (metro radio) concert...

Saturday, 27 September 2008


the sanseng (metro radio) show, actually it was pretty fun, was able to sing various songs of other singers, besides that i have to thank all the guests who have helped out, thank you very much!
those who went to watch, what do you think of it?

after the show will now be focusing on recording for the new album, just managed to finish recording fan shao xuan's song within the past 2 days,
曉萱寫's (no idea whats his eng name but he always writes for hacken) lyrics for one of the songs was pretty exciting :

"廉價哀傷"

唯有不去問 沒答案不用尋

誰也不要緊 如他可以令你不惜變心

唯有不去恨 誰都不值得我憎他半生

微笑關上燈 黑暗裡 難望真存在這軀殼曾被吻


失戀不是中鎗 還能維持健康未斷腸

還是我 無論眼還是心如就此毀了誰付賬

基督都受過傷 凡人難受亦有歌可唱

oh….高唱 這廉價 哀傷


甜美不靠運 未痛過不是人

如你傷我心 能找到更愉快的不要緊

不見得要等 不覺得需要來誇張被拋棄的幽怨感

不見得可以為悲哀哭得上癮

無甚麼能值得手腳還在震

lastly...actually i think the song by me and 張繼聰 was pretty good too...haha!

MV x 2


MV x 2

Thursday, 11 September 2008


Within 3 days, we filmed 2 MVs for "她慈我悲" ("She is kind, but i am sad"), on monday was at a pretty quiet Club (not many ppl patronise) in tsim sha tsui to film the TVB version, it was filmed indoors, and was very relevant (i think he refers to the place) , the lead actress goes back to africa...forced to break up...but reluctant...it only took around 5hrs , was pretty relaxing.

On wednesday filmed the universal version, however it "wasnt as relaxing/easy", early in the morning went to fanling (somewhere in the new territories) where there was a farm, to film the outdoors scene. as the whether was pretty good, so...suntanned till so black (dark)! this time the director is my good friend ~ Benny lau wai hung, its my first time working with him for an MV...it was pretty enjoyable, actually i'm not too sure what he was filming, but it doesn't really matter, whatever it is, i just have to cooperate and do what the director says. i have faith in him, it will most likely be a good one...! haha ! it will be shown in about 2 days time, really looking forward to it!

Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, wish everyone a happy mid-autumn festival!
received lots of presents these few days, there were all sorts of mooncakes, snacks, tea leaves, lanterns and many many more. they were from fans from singapore, malaysia, mainland and hk, thank you very much!
the progress of the recording has been pretty slow, only finished 4.5 songs. today finished recording hins', it could have been better, so will be re-singing it again next week. however those that were already done - justin, khalil, louis, were all extremely well done!

(tricia: oops lol ok hk ppl like to type xing- star for the first letter to mention singapore! why? LOL. its san-ka-pore not seng-ka-pore!)

................................

sept. 16:

actually i didn't know that i would be on the barry show (radio program) at 1600, before that at 1400 still had to do a Mini live and also record Donald's show. i will try to bring along khalil's and louis' songs to see if they would be able to broadcast it.

....................................

sept. 25:

i wasn't sick at all, its just that i didn't have enough sleep. helping to look after Ryan + the typhoon blowing towards my house, for the past week, i didn't manage to sleep for a consecutive 5 hours each day. that's why while singing last night my voice sounded a little coarse halfway through the concert. but after a day's rest it would be back to normal again, u guys do not need to worry too much. how did u all feel about the show? i felt that my part was OK la! of course it would have been better if my voice didn't sound so coarse, but using that kind of rough voice to sing "你在何地" gave the song a bit more feel! actually wanted to sing more side tracks, but if i were to do that the organizers would lodge a complaint against me!

aug. 24: No.9 system warning

no.9 system warning (typhoon)
sunday, august 24 2008

actually i was quite surprised, it was said that the typhoon would strike sai-kung district, fortunately there was not much damage, the wind wasn't that strong, so even if i had to go and record "TVB大班月餅show" it was really not that dangerous. (the show would most probably be aired on 4th of september)
It is finally the last day of the olympics, the chinese team in this olympics is really "great/ very good", even though there were a few events in which the gold medal was accidentally lost, for example yesterday nights- men's 10m diving, liu xiang's withdrawal from the hurdles, etc., but they still managed a total of 40 to 50 gold medals. america usually insists on use of "total number of medals" to determine the winner, and they "claim" that they are the best, it's really quite funny though!
In the afternoon will be at TVB studio to do the basketball match, later on will do the closing ceremony, see u later!

8.21.2008:
recently have been recording songs for the new album, now still thinking about whether to work on the 24th for the basketball match and the closing ceremony.

--------

8.31.2008:

erikpych : under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be like that, and i have never heard of such problem happening before. where did u buy it? however u can bring along the DVD to universal- kwantang office, i believe they would be able to help u out.

it was rather a pity that i wasn't able to work with the athletes at last night's event, i was hoping to be able to take a photo with- xi dong mei, perhaps next time! i believe there will always be another chance! also, there were reports saying that i was lip-syncing last night, hehe, thank you very much, i was actually singing live!

(tricia: he was replying to a person who posted before him about the DVD he bought. the recent hk concert one... he said that the quality of the DVD was not up to standard and commented that he felt cheated, paying for the price of a DVD but the quality was of a VCD. LOL. ok mine was clear though. then i think he thinks maybe it was pirated or something?? cos he say he supports anti-piracy too. LOL.)

9.1.2008:
recently have been organising the rundown for Sanseng (metro?) concert on 24th sept, does anyone have any suggestions? don't feel like singing those songs that i always sing, also have to avoid singing those that are not too popular. in all, i still have to notify Sanseng as well as the sponsor...there will definitely be a few lines of the new song, now i'm thinking of singing "other people's songs", in addition there will be a few duets, as there will be other singers present too.

9.5.2008:
tomorrow night's Gong Yi Jin Hui (
community chest 40th anniversary) will be on the second part and the last 2 parts, before 6pm will be at Shatin Central Park for the TVB paralympics show, it will be shown after the Gong Yi Jin Hui, 2 shows in 1 night, very fulfilling!
