The night before last, Hacken Lee was present at the Gong Yik Kam (Community Chest) Charity Show. A few days ago he was a guest at Sammi Cheng's concert and enjoyed her final song, admitting he was moved by it. Something embarassing also happened. He mistook female mainland singer Han Hong for Brenda Lo. He said "I've been diagnosed with 'mistaking other people syndrome'. This illness has been with me for 10 years and my colleagues already know that I frequently mistake people. At first I greeted Han Hong in Cantonese and felt that it was strange. If Han Hong hasn't left HK yet, hopefully she'll see this report and forgive me!"Hacken said that in the past Theresa Lee took on the job to perform as guest for his 10 concerts but unfortunately later when he bumped into her on the street he could not recognize her. When asked whether he would be able to recognise his wife, he replied "At the moment it doesn't matter if I can recognize them or not, I'll greet them first. I'm getting old, I might need to improve my eyesight with blueberries."

They will sing three songs together, including Alan's "Who will change", "Love is warm inside the heart" and "Sentimental Heart". Hacken joked that previously Andy Lau had sung "Sentimental Heart", and now it was his turn. During the performance there will be a rising platform, and they are a bit nervous. Hacken said that previously he had been caught, as he hadn't attended rehearsals for an awards ceremony and didn't expect there to be fireworks happening, so he was unprepared for them. His pet peeves are confetti and polystyrene foam (AKA styrofoam. i think he means fake snow make of small styrofoam bits), as he feels they affect a singer's performance when they blow into her/his mouth! Once Hacken asked his assistant to hold up the lyrics on a big board for him, but when he sang to that part of the song, his assistant still did not appear. All he could do was wave at the audience. He once again mentioned Alan, saying that "When Alan forgets his lyrics, he turns his mic to the audience! The big boards with lyrics were made for him...but now even he's changed to use the plasma TVs!"Sources: Mingpao, Apple, Eastern, Orisun, Takungpao, Wen Ai Pao

May 22, 2007On the 22nd of May, Dodo Cheng, Nat Chan, Susanna Kwan, Hacken Lee, Bosco Wong, Fala Chen, Raymond Cho, Vincy, etc appeared at a public welfare/commonwealth fund (pretty sure it's te "kong yik cum" = Community Chest show) press event. The press event was held to publicize arrangements about the fund. HK singer Hacken Lee attended the event, encouraging the public to donate generously, helping out for the better good. He performed at the event, helping also to collect donations.

With reports that Hacken is soon to become a father, he was the media's focal point. At yesterday's rehearsal in the afternoon, Hacken went home immediately after rehearsals finished. When asked, he said he was going home to be with his wife, and said he should spend more time with her. When asked about whether he was about to become a father, Hacken said that like his new song "Where have the flowers gone", he would not reply to the question, and reporters should find his new PR manager Alan Tam. Reporters then pointed out his voice was a bit raspy, and asked if he was sick, and should he be careful about passing it on to Emily who might be pregnant? Hacken sighed and said reporters should stop dragging all the topics together, asking them to please change topics!He said lately he was busy recording, and this time he had to sit to record, as Eric Kwok didn't want his songs too have too much "daan tin" (the field of energy inside each person).

[images from: http://www.leehacken.com/news/2007/news_20070519.htm]To celebrate the 10th anniversary of HK returning to China, RTHK and CCTV have decided to organise a "Shenzhen-HK youth evening gathering" on 1st July at Shenzhen's Window of the World. Yesterday a media conference was held and public announcements were made regarding the event's activities. RTHK's Lee Chai Tong indicated at the event, all HK singers that took part in performing "After returning for 10 years, there's still You" themesong will all attend the party. At the time, Andy Lau and Yundi Lee will perform together. And there will be lot's of mainland performances. The venue can hold an audience up to 6000-7000 people.Date of birth is predicted to be June/JulyAlan Tam and Hacken Lee both attended the media conference. Hacken was once again chased about whether or not he can announce his wife's pregnancy, and he joked that the date of birth is predicted to be June/July. He is adament that he is talking about his new album, not having a baby. Alan says that it was only a few days ago that he ate dinner with the husband and wife and was asked whether he felt Emily's figure had changed. Alan said that he was late there and had to leave early so that Emily was seated the entire time and he couldn't tell.Alan had publicly told Hacken to check whether his wife was pregnant by using frogs. When the two met, Hacken asked Alan how to use frogs to test for pregnancy and pointed out that he only knew how to use iceblocks. Alan explained "In the past, when using frogs, if the frog called out then that was the indication that there was a pregnancy." Reporters asked Hacken if he could announce the good news. He said that as it was the return of HK's big day, then everyone shouldn't go off topic. When reporters suggested that because it was a big day then there should be a new album to celebrate with, Hacken exclaimed that the date of birth was to be June/July and insisted that he was referring to his new album. Reporters also pointed out that Hacken has gained weight recently but Hacken said that he was busy with his new album and did not gain weight. Alan couldn't help but laugh that Hacken wasn't answering the questions that were being asked.Alan exposes Hacken's Freudian slipHacken admitted that he understood everyone was caring for him and everyday he would see little dogs near his place, giving him a sense of security. When it reached the public, Hacken revealed that a lot of people were asking about the progress of his new album and even Liza Wang has asked a few times whether his new album would be out soon. Alan joked and asked Hacken whether the new album will be cute and if it would have hands or feet. Hacken said that as long as Liza was happy, he would thank everyone for caring and when the new album was ready for release, he would publicly announce it to the world. He doesn't think he will make June, so it will probably hit the streets in July. Recently has his wife been afraid of going outside? Hacken said she wasn't. Alan revealed that a few days earlier he had dinner with the couple and when asked about Emily's figure, he was smart and said that on the night he was late there and had to leave early. This meant that he only saw Emily sitting down and could not see her figure. Has he felt that Emily's eating habits have changed? He said he didn't notice anything special and Hacken added "These days it's different. There's nothing that's "forbidden". Alan exposed that Hacken had made a definate Freudian slip.source: http://www.takungpao.com/news/07/05/19/UL-738556.htm
[hahaha! "everyday he would see little dogs near his place, giving him a sense of security."!! those pesky reporters always stalking him & emily!! :(
well, now that he accidentally said that, every1 knows for sure now. though, be4, every1 could already guess she really is pregnant f/what alan/hacken said! -kate]
花落誰家 - Where have all the flowers gone?
'I can't admit it! My wife will scold me." (made up dialogue)
Hacken was forced by reporters about news that he was going to be a father. He bowed and politely asked everyone to let him off.
2007 May 3rdTVB held its 2007 JSG Presentation - First quarter on Sunday, 29th April. Everyone got their share of their awards (this sounds a little sarcastic in the article -> Like insinuating that the presentation was just for the artistes to get a slice of the pie). There was no sense of animosity at all at TVB City. Instead, the atmosphere was filled with care and warmth. With recent rumours that Emily Lo is pregnant, Hacken was being forced by the media to confirm this the whole night. Hacken diverted the attention surrounding his wife's pregnancy towards his new CD, slated to be released in June or July. Baby becomes CD, he just refuses to admit the fact as he is afraid that the baby will be petty. (I think Hacken is refusing to confirm the rumours as there is a belief that one should not announce or make a big fuss about having a baby before the first 3 mths is over because that is the period where it is easiest to get a miscarriage. So they are afraid that the baby will be 'petty' and something bad may happen. -Gillian)Singer Kay who is due to deliver in July, was accompanied by her manager to receive her award. However, he refused to let Kay answer any questions with regards to the gender of her child or the mode of delivery. Even when taking photos, he forced reporters into a corner as he only insisted that they take front view shots of her.

[agree w/Gillian...lots of fans and i think he's waiting till after 3 months 2 announce, for all those reasons. well, not necessarily means he's superstitious, it makes sense realistically, too, cuz u can often have miscarriages during this time...wow, wish they would leave him alone about this! he'll announce it when he's ready! maybe around the same time his cd comes out, he'll announce! but that won't be until around July, probably!! yeah, sometimes they joke that every1 gets awards at tvb awards show, even those that don't deserve it.... -kate]
