Desperately waiting for Leehom's new album
ok. here's one honest post.
Haha. I was so confused about Leehom in the past few months. He's done commercial, like usual. He's doing concert, MusicMan.. again and again. He's done filming My Lucky Star, he's travelling to some countries promoting it, but not Indonesia, just as what I have predicted. He's done his free new year concert, just as what he did in the last few years. He's posting on his facebook with his random posts, nothing's extraordinary from his posts. Oh! He's married. That's a huge thing. But still... it was just another ok news for me. Was it, really? Or was it not? Well, it was shocking, at first. But look... I didnt even bother to blog it. So yeaaa... nothing came up that was really special about him in these past few months, I think.
Maybe there's one thing a bit on top of the list. It's a theme song for "My Lucky Star". It's not a very special song that it's now becoming my ring tone, but it's simply because it's a NEW SONG! Also, there's an old song he sang it differently in his free new year show that has immediately caught my attention, click here to watch it. I love it because the new version was so different that the original and that now I can understand the meaning. So excepts those 2 songs... everything about his was just ok. Really.
So I got confused. He seems to lose the "wow" factor on me. He needs to urgently do something to not lose me. haha. yeaa right! :p
And last night, he tried.... in his "My Lucky Star" movie. *what are you guys thinking? LOL!!*
I got a chance to finally watch the movie with Eng subtitle, of course. It's an international movie, so it's called. Filmed in several countries, directed by one of the hollywood's directors, casts and crews were mixed between western and eastern, played in different continents, produced and starred by an international superstar, Zhang Ziyi. So there. I tried to get the wow out of it.
The movie was ........ light, funny and entertaining. That was all? yeaa I guess. Because in 4 hours later, when I woke up in the morning, I cannot remember anything but his big round nose. Haha! ROTFL!! I'm so sorry Leehom.. it's not my brain fog, it's really i think because the movie was just ok.
Leehom and his 'special' nose
However, aside to the facts that there were more critics than praises, the movie has hit more than double revenue target. That's what the wiki said, but it still not wow me. Maybe when this "Annihilator" movie is out, he will. I always love superhero movie or rather fictional characters.
But deep deep deep down in my heart I know one thing that he's really best at, one thing that will wow me, make me super excited... his new album! or at least one new song first.. please? He mentioned that he will release one in March 31st.
so here i am... desperately waiting.....
I'm bored and I love Leehom
does anyone believe if i said I really type all those words...? LOL!!
Leehom vs PSY "Gangnam Style"
Big congratulation to Leehom for winning "Best Asian Artist Award" at MAMA 2012.
I have watched his performance from live streaming, but still... when Indosiar (local TV in Indonesia) broadcasted MAMA 2012 and I saw Leehom on the TV screen, I cant help but jumping on my bed and greening ear to ear. I don't know why.. I feel so happy to see him in my own local channel, which would be very very rare to happen.
Youtube has blocked the link to his performance in MAMA 2012, but we still can watch it here.
K-POP may have been ruling the world right now, but it is just not my fave. I didn't bother to see the jumping and energetic dances from other performance at all, cos once Leehom was done, I ran to other channels. I appreciate those K-POP singers, they must have been practising the moves like hell to be able to dance like that.. but hey ... song is for ears and heart, the dance is just a bonus. So I dont really care if Leehom can't dance (which I dont think he is the master .. yet), it's the voice and the melody that blow me away ...
So when I read this post in his weibo, I feel a little bit sad.
I understand Leehom has been doing the "same effort" for so many years, trying to make Chinese music sounds international and heard by people around the globe too. He may have not been there yet...phenomenally, but what touches me is that he was not discouraged. He took it as a motivation to work even harder. Way to go, Leehom! I will always be there to support you.
Try listen to his song "Revolution" from album Revolution (1998). It's an old song, produced and released when he was just 21 years old. Even though it's 14 years old, but the song still sounds modern, not out-of-date at all. That's what I call classy, a masterpiece ... something that will last forever.
thanks to weloveleehom.com for providing daily English translation from Leehoms' weibo.
Let's Break Leehom's Heart
I know he's busy touring "MusicMan Concert". I know he's also busy doing some commercials, from selling shoes to milk...
And I know he's busy jumping from one hotel to another. But I didnt know that he can be a hotel's salesman as well. Well, he promoted an online hotel's reservation site. He even added that maybe one day he can stay at his fans house too. Did he even think when he said that? I mean, who wouldn't want that? I would want to be the first to sign-up, but ... ummm.. maybe not, unless it is classified, you know what I mean?
In his free times, he's also touring around the city in his cart.
Out of those busy moments, he looked so happy to be with his family and hang out with his friends.
And enjoying "cendol" in Malaysia. BTW, did he know that actually cendol is traditionally and originally from Indonesia?
But.. but....
Where's his new music, new song? I need new songs, please... I need new beautiful ballads just like the old times when he's breaking up with his girlfriend.
I guess, his most beautiful ballads are really coming from those heart-broken moments. If it is what it takes to create beautiful ballads again.. can somebody please break his heart?????? *LOL*

Fall All Over Again
I admit. Sometimes busy, sometimes lazy, but some other times.. I just feel bored and flat.
Last year Leehom was not too productive, only 2 new songs: Open Fire and Still Loving You. Maaan .... that's really not enough. Well, he is busy.. but not producing new songs. He was busy touring his "MusicMan Concert 2", doing some commercials and maybe setting up his own label company.
And since I had been to MusicMan Concert 1 in Taipei in 2008 (I just realized he's doing MusicMan Concert for 4 years already, LOL!), and there's no MusicMan Concert 2 in Jakarta (oh yes, I am so going if there is), and I have been extremely busy with works too... so yeaah... I found myself less excited. Proof? Eeeeee..... look at the numbers of my post last year and compare it to a year behind it.
People said as the years pass us by, love can also fade away. No matter how much you adore someone, you will still need work it out to keep the fire burning. I think, feeling is just like a muscle. You need to train and exercise to keep it strong and beautiful. Hahaaa.. suddenly I'm all about muscle. I know just where it came from. Check here.
He's skinny but look at his biceps. *drolling*
Working on my "muscle" to stay strong is easy.
I mean, seriously, look at him, he's so adorable and loveable and sexyyyyyyyyy.... .
Just one simple look and ... I fall all over again.

OPEN FIRE - My Preorder CD is here!!
Support Leehom, buy original work only.
It was like perfectly planned that my portable HDD was left in the office since last Friday. I who was supposed to work from home on Monday, had to go to office to get it. It has all the office data and emails.
After lunch time, the brown box package was sent to my desk. I knew it. I knew it right from that very second that it's Leehom's CD. Even though I had all the songs already, I still felt so excited when I opened that box.
It's a huge package for a normal CD. It's like 40 x 40 x 10 cm box. I was told that the preoder will come with a huge poster, so I was expecting it. I have no idea where to put the poster though, maybe in my son's room as he's a fan too.
I didn't find any huge poster, but got something else, more interesting stuffs. A nice photo book of his HLQK MV shoot. A girl came to my desk seeing me giggle and she asked who is Leehom. So I went bla bla bla bla bla..... and just like any other person who was introduced to Leehom's profile, she went "WOW! very talented". I swear to you, I didn't exaggerate, use flowery words or something, his profile is just beyond average. And about the photo book, lots of nice pictures but honestly, either Leehom is becoming very thin or he did something with his face. It looked like a really long face.
Then, there's another plastic packed separately. At first, I thought it's the poster but when I opened it... OMG!! It's a balloon, a replica of Bahamut. And soon, some of the guys around my desk came and asked if I would give it to them. Heu? Yeaa.... hello guys, over my dead body, ok? LOL!!
I waited till I got home to blow it. And it was so cute that my son asked me to take his picture with it.
Shave Leehom, Save Me
I can't believe just how long I have not updated this blog. I read a comment from somebody who randomly found my blog, she said she loves it and asked me to keep on posting ... *ahem* I need to keep the spirit of writing alive. Well, of course I will.... I promise.. I guess :). haha!
So, I heard and read that Leehom was hanging out with friends, attending friend's wedding, doing a few performance, receiving awards (again n again) shooting some ads, and updating his Weibo and his Facebook.
Comparing to his previous work schedules when he was doing album and movie promotion, those are like .. really just a few. I am very sure, Leehom had a lot of free time for himself.
uh-oh!
actually ...
has he not??
was he too busy to shave??
