An unexpected trip ...

I've been planning on this trip for quite sometimes now but with the cancellation of MM HK concert, it got postponed to uncertainty, 'till finally Ling told me about her plan on catching the last stop of Mayday DNA Unlimited DNA concert in Taichung on 24 July 2010. So I thought why don't I just arrange on the trip about the same time at her, so we can hang out there together though I'm not gonna watch the concert but I haven't seen her more than a year.

So anyway, after back and forth plans, finally deciding on the trips and just when I was about the finalize everything including issuing the ticket and re-confirming everything, a piece of news released that Leehom is gonna hold an auto session of his first directorial movie pictorial book on 31 Jul. Initially I planned on leaving on 30 Jul to HK, I quickly changed it.

The surprise didn't stop there. In much anticipation of his new album, another piece of news came that he will also holding an auto session of his upcoming new album on 25 Jul and everything just comes together. I wouldn't even dream of attending one of his auto session in Taiwan, and now I have two.

So far I've attended 4 overseas concerts (HOE SG, 2 MM Taipei and 1 MM Malaysia), 1 auto session and 1 fan meeting in Singapore and I've been dreaming on going to his auto session in his own country and I didn't expected it's gonna be this soon ..

And as I'm writing this, I'm now in Taipei and about to head to Kaoshiung. It should be my 5th day in Taipei. I've attended his new album auto session. It started as a great sunny day but the rain ruined one perfect day. I went up to greet him so soaked and smelly 'cos of the rain and damp. Well, everybody did .. we were disappointed and sad and rather pissed at the same time. But looking at his face, his smile and how he treated us fans so nice, every angers and disappointment we had earlier poof -- GONE!

I had so many things I wanna say and express to him, but he was so busy answering questions and signing at the same time. So, I didn't care as I know that he's there in front of me, smiling and still being who he is. And at the end, as fulfilling one fan request of singing 公轉自轉, he sang it in front of me which I took it as my personal concert :D

He's one great International superstar, but yet when it comes to certain things, he still know where to put himself as a person specially in front of his fans. He is still this down to earth, low key and humble guy as all of his fans know him from 15 years ago when he first released his album.

Popularity doesn't seem to change everybody .. we have one good example here. And I'm so proud to call Leehom my idol, my hero, my role model. You still make my heart race indeed and once again you've never once failed me.

Keep our world turning homie ...
