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!
