Hong Kong: September 16 2012
Just me and my kuya left in HK.
I thought I would be having a nice morning for shopping and a dinner date with the fanclub heads before the last concert but it turned out it was almost a whole day of just fangirling.
After a quick walk around the area, rested a bit, I was picked up by the fanclub heads at the hotel and walked our way to the restaurant where we were eating lunch.
Food was good.. company was good but I encountered a slight language barrier (oh blame me for not knowing a lot of Mandarin) so there. whenever food was brought in, everyone will take their turn taking a picture of the food haha!
After lunch, they told me that they were going to wait for Leehom to do his prayer ritual just outside the backstage entrance. So I decided that I should go (instead of the initial plan of just doing more shopping).
We dropped by Leehom's hotel first since the Korean fans were staying there. We rode with kheng long in the bus service on the way there. (too bad it wasn't brendan)
After resting for a bit, we then went out to the backstage entrance and waited......
I set up my camera (this was a rare opportunity)... after what seemed like a long long time (well it was long), he finally arrived. the staff were motioning to us that we can't take pictures (TT____TT) oh well.. at least i got a few shots of their table setup. so there.. after he did his prayers, he waved at us (that was the chance.. didn't take it) and went in.
i realized i left my concert ticket (!!!!! why?!) and headed back to the hotel to get them.
had dinner with my kuya (i almost forgot the LED sign) and then headed back to the coliseum.
got to the venue early again... so i just waited for them to open the gates.
got in.. prepared my stuff and waited. friends came in and the concert started
I had my camera prepared already so I just kept shooting.
while....... holding our PHILIPPINES LED sign.
mid concert, the light started to get dim and we were worried that it cant be read that much anymore. thank goodness my friend had some extra batteries (although they still weren't enough)...
jackie chan came on stage (surprise surprise)
they sung the song from little big soldier... so much energy! so fun
fan shoutouts.. he saw me again (whew... didn't get a video though :() well more like saw my lens.. i was busy trying to take a pic of him looking at the sign/lens
.....more songs, more fan requests
oh and they finally shot the "i love you" video with jackie chan.. i was there in the video.. but you just can't see it much since the sign was already a bit dim and i was surrounded by white light signs... they're too bright
.......and the concert was over TT______TT
met up with fong again outside the venue.. talked for a bit
and then i decided to head back to the hotel
what an amazing experience...
my camera finally captured leehom! the lens was so worth it!
and the feeling of traveling to and from the venue alone was kinda relaxing? or the feeling of just being free? i dunno..
gonna miss hong kong for that
