Wang Lee Hom: Change Me Part 2

Lee Hom came out to sing 3 numbers that night, and right after that, the autograph session commenced. But before that, the members of the media were invited on stage to take a picture with the crowd as his background. i was struggling to take a good picture, but i guess the one below was the best i could get.with that done, on to the next. you have to admire Lee Hom for being really patient as he just sat there for 3 straight hours, signing albums after albums after albums. He ensured that all albums will be signed before he leaves.
so he gives the thumbs up!
and then goes on auto-pilot for the next three hours
but someone that night caught my attention, and i managed to get a picture of her way before the concert actually started.
this is Bel
Bel had an unfortunate accident as a child, only realizing at the age of 15, that it affected her sight. That night with all the lights being so bright, it affected her vision and caused her to feel really uncomfortable, also, not being able to get a glimpse of her idol on stage. Frustration overruled and caused her to get really upset.
Lee Hom, on the other hand, noticed her and stopped signing all autographs to just attend to her and consoled her. Not only is he a talented singer, but he cares about his fans dearly. I have utmost respect for this guy.
Well Bel, warm wishes from me, and best wishes to you. You're a hero by just keeping your chin up and not letting anything get in your way. I only wish you'll be able to seek what you're longing for. This will be my final post for Lee Hom's showcase in Malaysia, its been a memorable event, lots of passionate fans, and a gifted musician with a BIG heart. Big shoutout to Homaniacs, you guys are awesome! And this post, goes out to Bel.

Best Regards,
Jin

Wang Lee Hom: Change Me Part 1

On the 9th of November 2007, which was last Friday, i was fortunate enough to get an invitation to catch Wang Lee Hom's showcase in Sungei Wang. I was seated right in front of the stage but i didn't bother sitting down for the whole show as i was trying to get as many shots as i can.

This guy is one of my inspirations when it comes to making music. I mean, how would he not be an inspiration to all, he sings, plays the violin, drums, piano, guitar and along the way the list builds up and and you'll know when you listen to all his albums.

So back to the showcase, i didn't know how much, but by my rough estimation i think around 4,000 fans were gathered up at the 4th floor open air car park to await their Hero. Tell me what you think from this picture?
here's how the stage looked like that night
The whole showcase was hosted by our very own Phoebe of MY FM
And just before the show started, there were some games played on stage where they got some fans on stage to sing a song or two from the album.
And finally, who everyone was eagerly waiting to see finally made his way up on stage to sing a couple of numbers taken from his latest album entitled "Change Me"
