"Every Day is Valentine's Day" MV, posted 6 Mar 08

I recorded the TVB MV for "Every Day is Valentine's Day" two days ago, at a restaurant in Central. The director invited four men and four ladies to take part in the filming, so it was really lively.

Will be singing this song for two shows next week, and one of them is TVB Jade Solid Gold on Wednesday night...hope that I will be in good condition to sing by then!

I just don't understand why it takes so long to recover from the flu...sigh!

I will also be having a radio interview tomorrow afternoon for both live and recorded interviews, so everyone can tune in and listen.

I'm back! posted 28 Feb 08

After the HK Concert, a whole group of us went to Japan for a holiday, it was very fun at first, but after the 3rd day, all the problems that accumulated in the past weeks started to come, like flu, cough, sore throat, and even fever! So I had to stay in the hotel room to rest, it was too bad!

Immediately went to see a doctor after i returned to HK, to "clear" the illness...I have to sing "Every Day is Valentine's Day" on Saturday, and shoot the MV next week, and then prepare for the concerts in US...!

I really need to recover "completely" soon!

HK Concert: The last night, posted 19 Feb 08

"understand that we have to part in the end..." * is this is a lyric from one of Hacken's songs?*

11 nights of my HK concert are finally over!

Last night's atmosphere during the concert was really fantastic, there were a lot of my loved ones in the audience: my family, friends, and fans. it was really an unforgettable night for me, and the concert rundown proceeded really smoothly. Also, Shirley (Kwan) and Alan (Tam) were guest performers for the night, so it was the best night so far!

Thank you everyone for all your gifts (red packets, flowers, fruits, baby diapers, all sorts of baby products, snacks, and even toy models and "fa gao" etc.) and of course everyone's enthusiastic support for my concert: including all the fans from Malaysia, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Singapore, Taiwan etc., and of course the HK fans! I will remember all your support and care!

Tonight is when my "short holiday" begins, I'll see everyone again in March!

Thank you everyone! :)

HK Concert: 10th night, posted 18 Feb 08

e I was very happy last night because i could perform onstage together with Paul again...the two songs "dai dei" and "zhan dik ngoi nei" were both very good and i enjoyed it very much, thanks Paul!

However, there were some technical problems with the ear monitors last night...i could not hear a few songs clearly. Hope that there will not be such problems during tonight's concert, because it makes it very hard to focus and it will affect my singing!

Also, I have counted the red packets that i collected during the concert on 16 Feb, and there is $11500 altogether. Together with my own donations, a total amount of $23000 will be donated to the charity show (that is raising funds for the people in China that are affected by the bad winter weather).

HK Concert: 8th and 9th nights, posted 17 Feb

There were no guest performers for these two nights of the concert, and the concert rundown is back to normal!

I wore yellow trousers for the encore item, but they were not as "sharp" as the bright pink trousers...so i changed back to wearing the bright pink ones on the next night. Actually, Henry made the trousers for me in five different colours, but maybe i'm too used to it, the bright pink ones still look the nicest...maybe i will wear the other colours at home! haha!

From the 9th night onwards, i wore the ear monitors in both ears, and the effect was quite good. During the encore item, there was a male fan who gave me the song sheet for "paper wedding" and requested that song. But the encore was very "high" and that song was not suitable as it was not too popular. Also, Mr. Chiu (Chiu Tsang Hei) was not able to play that song immediately as it was not planned...so in the end i could not sing "paper wedding".

I prepared to sing "ming wan foo hou" and "by my side (zoi ngo san been)" that night, but no one requested for those songs...and i have not sung "gai jeet" yet, maybe i'll sing it tonight! But i will still ask for the audience's opinion during encore, because i should sing what the majority wants to hear!

Tonight and tomorrow night will be the recording for the concert dvd, so everyone, please shout more loudly! :)

One more week to go, posted 1 Feb 08

Another 2 more week, posted 24 Jan 08

Time flies, there is only 2 weeks left before the show. That’s fast!

Lately, I’ve been busy practicing the dances! So funny, at first, we were thinking of putting together a concert that focus on singing, with a group of band, songs re-arrangement to offer some ‘Hong Kong Orchestra’ feel. Unfortunately, with more and more changes, now I need to dance as well. And there are a lot of dancing! (Of course, this is according to my standard)

Therefore, everyday there’s practice to go for!

And all these are only for putting together a good show!

The song rehearsal part is also rather amazing, more than 10 persons involved every time, that’s why we need a special venue. Including the band’s fee, every practice took us more than 10 thousand dollars! Really costly and we can’t afford to lose any time!

Just another 2 weeks to go, I really have to work very very hard!

Last Saturday, went to the new airport’s museum for 4 ‘Hong Kong MRT’s shows”, twice a day. And there was also a Chinese Song Award Night on Saturday’s night. That topped up my day with 3 shows, really ‘geng’ ah!

As a result, I flew back home immediately after show and am totally exhausted. Really had not more strength to attend the celebration at Global! Sorry, Sorry!

The last, last, last, last, final show, posted 4 Jan 08

Since a lot of friends were unable to get their tickets and the boss has managed to settle the ‘technical’ problems, (they said no need to pull down the stage, so we’ll be able to save a day), therefore, the company has decided to add another 1 show. So, all in, 11 shows in total. Thank you for all the support!

Of course I understand that this will cause a lot of friends who have bought the 17th’s ticket rather disappointed, just like my aunties who have bought the 17th’s tickets thinking that it was the last show, they have already started to mumble. I can understand their disappointment, but unfortunately… it’s not something I can control! The only thing I can do is to perform as what I would do in my final show on the 17th.

I’ve already started to practice the dances and songs, had unlimited meetings, and all these are to offer you the best show I can offer to you, so you will love it and I’ll like it too, and also to thank my 132,000 fans who will be attending the concert.

Two days ago, I was very happy that I was able to share my happiness with you guys, especially all the fans who attended. Thanks for your ‘shouting’. It’s very powerful, helped me to singing better and have more confident.

Taking Chinese New Year Pictures, posted 12 Jan 08

Few days ago, Global Music rented a room in the hotel for us to have our CNY photos taken and most of the Global’s singers were there, just like how Polygram used to be! We were having a lot of fun, and I’m especially happy to see our long ‘lost’ friend, Lau Mei Kuan. We’ve known each other since 1987… I’ve better stop now on this story!

Will there be additional show for the concert? Well, actually I don’t even know! The boss would like to have it! But there are still a lot of things to consider, especially with the installation of the stage and all. But it is definitely not possible to add show before the 1st show.

Tonight is Jade Solid Gold’s year-end final selection, I’ll try my best! Remember to ‘yell’ out loud, ya, to support every singer who are there.
See you tonight!

Happy New Year, posted 1 Jan 08

Wishing all a Happy New Year and always Be Healthy!

It was so ‘happening’ at Time Square yesterday! So many people. Too bad, the performing time for each artist is too short, else, it should be quite fun.

Have recorded the Music Video a few days ago with Sammi. It’s like old friend’s gathering, and we sang two songs too.
