2001年7月22日海洋公園教育籌款夜: Leon今晚出席在海洋公園海豚表演場舉行的教育籌款夜。子泉和Stanley早在6時多已到表演場打點一切，剛由大馬匆匆回港的Leon，稍為歇息就來到場內，本來大會預計嘉賓於7:30pm到達，不過Leon大約在7pm已經到達，當看到啡色Tee和米色長褲的Leon慢慢走近，在場的觀眾和fans即時歡呼！; 儀式未進行前，Leon先由海洋公園海豚館的工作人員招呼到海豚水池旁邊，第一個工作人員似乎是向Leon介紹池內的海豚，讓他對海豚有初步認識，然後第二位工作人員到來，先教Leon一些簡單手勢，向海豚發出指令，然後再教高深一點，要雙手共用的，不過並不太成功，大會攝影師則不停的在為Leon拍照，水池在中央分成兩半，接近Leon的海豚不太聽他的，反而在另一半水池的小海豚則對Leon很好奇，千辛萬苦的要跳過去看他，跳了好幾次都不成功，在場的fans都高叫為牠打氣，最後一次成功了，也贏得觀眾的歡呼。; Leon做了幾次手勢都沒有效，海豚都沒有跳起和他握手..... (如果換成是歌迷，早就水瀉池翻地湧過去啦！) 至此Leon先退到板後，可能是再拍照或研究一下那些手勢，然後才再走到池邊。這時開始，Leon的手勢似乎湊效了，有條海豚挺身向Leon，並和Leon"握手"，Leon開心得握著海豚的"手"不捨得放！; 及後Leon的指令更成功了，有五六條海豚一同圍住他跳，並有一條躍起吻一下Leon的臉，觀眾即時大叫！Leon和海豚玩過後，走過觀眾席，觀眾不斷歡呼，Leon也揮手回應，然後才到VIP席第一排中央，在孫大倫和百佳負責人之間坐下，而穿上整套米白西裝的阿Joe則坐在VIP席較右的座位，這時大會才正式開始，時間約7:20pm。; VIP席前設了一個小小禮台，司儀先請百佳負責人致辭，其後Leon被司儀邀請上台和一群小學童和海洋公園吉祥公仔拍照，Leon在上台途中向坐在就近的歌迷打招呼，上台後還很開心的和那隻由人扮成的大公仔握手呢！拍照後Leon剛想移步返回座位，已被司儀叫住，請他頒發紀念座給幾名代表。頒獎後Leon坐回VIP席第一排，不過是在阿Joe旁邊。; 不久Leon又再次被邀上台進行支票移交儀式，和孫大倫一起接受百佳負責人手上的大支票，儀式完成後，Leon回到座位一會，待海豚表演即將正式舉行前離開。; (網主: Leon休息時間不多可是心情仍很好，聆聽歌迷說話時眼睛閃閃亮的很迷人啊！); (Posted 25 July, 2001 00:25am); 22.07.01 Ocean Park Children Education Charity Fund Raiser; Leon participated in The Ocean Theme Park Children Education Charity fund-raiser Night, organised by Community Chest and Park N Shop. At 6.00pm, Chi Chuen and Stanley was at the ground to do preliminary set up. Just after returning from Malaysia, after a little rest, Leon went straight to Ocean Park. Organisers were expecting guests to arrive at around 7.30pm, but Leon was there already at 7.00pm. The crowd was ecstatic when they saw the brown shirt beige trousers Leon walked in. Before the ceremony began, the officials led Leon to the dolphins poolside while the officials briefly introduces the basic knowledge about the dolphin's day to day lives. Another official then showed Leon some basic hand signals that can communicate with the dolphins. In the meantime, the photographers were taking photographs non-stop. The pool was divided in two halves. However, the dolphins that were nearest to Leon doesn’t seem to respond to Leon's hand gestures but a young dophlin on the other side of the pool were very curious and tried to jump towards Leon. But maybe the dophlin was too small and after a couple of jumps, still couldn’t get to Leon's side. By this time, the crowd was cheering and when the dophlin did finally jump over towards Leon, the crowd gave a big round of applause!!; Leon attempted a couple of signals to the dophlins, but they didn’t jump or shake hands.. (But if it were fans, it would be totally different!). Leon then retreated back a little, and continues to study his gestures. He then returns to the poolside, and this time, there are successes. One dophlin swam towards Leon, and shaked hands with Leon! Leon was so thrilled that he didn’t want to let go! Five or six dophlins swam towards Leon, and one of them actually jumped up and kissed Leon on the cheek! Everyone gave a loud cheer! Leon then went towards the audience area; he smiled and waved to the crowd, and he was seated in the first row of the VIP area (beside Professor Sun Ta Lun & Park N Shop rep). Wearing beige suit, Joe was sitting in the right hand side of the VIP area. The ceremony officially began at 7.20pm.; In front of the VIP stand was a little stage. After guests gave speeches, the CM asked Leon on stage to take photographs with some school children and the mascot of Ocean Park. On the way to the stage, Leon waved to the fans that were sitting nearby. He was very happy and he even posed for photographs with that man size mascot! After the photographs, Leon wants to return to his seat but the CM asked him back to present some medals etc. to those parties involved. Leon then returned to sit beside Joe Chan.; Leon was on stage once more for the cheque exchange, together with Professor Sun to accept the cheque donation from Park N Shop, on behalf of Community Chest. Leon then sat back in his seat, and departed just as the dophlin show began.; (Webmaster: Although Leon had little time to sleep, he was in very good spirit! His eye sparkled as he was talking with fans!)

2001年7月19-22日雲頂Leon & friends Concert: 19.7.2001 ~~; Leon今早與隨員、樂隊成員和舞團共超過30人一同乘座國泰航班出發到馬來西亞。Leon大概於9:40am到達機場大樓，穿著粉藍色外套、牛仔褲和運動鞋，戴著黑眼鏡，由於時間迫切，所以Leon匆匆和歌迷招呼一下就急步走進禁區。當各人已進了禁區，跑在後面背著兩個小背囊的阿B則被禁區口的歌迷堵住，先和各位歌迷說bye-bye後才能進去。由於登機口距離很遠，又無法找到Golf Car，所以大伙兒得步過漫漫長路才能上機。最可憐是張燊悅，跑了一大段路氣也喘了還未到！; 航機於1:30pm到達吉隆坡機場，Leon一伙人乘答"無人駕駛"到達機場大樓之後，就被主辦機構員工接到設在上層的VIP房，之後Leon一直沒有出現，只有子泉和阿B回到行李帶拿行李.....(純粹猜測: 不知是在等人還是有某些人身體不適呢？) 當樂師和舞團坐了旅遊車出發往雲頂後半小時，約2:30pm Leon和其他人才走出機場大樓，只見Leon獨自坐上由酒店安排的Benz房車，司機只將車駛過一旁，再將車門打開，然後.... 子泉遞上由工作人員買來的麥當奴魚柳飽，Leon張口就咬下，就像Evolution畫冊內吃青蘋果一樣，三口就將魚柳飽報銷了，剛坐上車的阿Joe就遞上大杯可樂，這時車也開了，另外幾部Benz房車也同時駛離 (網主估計 ~~ 工作狂的Leon又在坐飛機前不眠不休的工作，在機上只管睡沒有吃東西，才會餓得令人心痛啊！); 一路上由於常常下雨，有一陣雨還大得完全看不到路面，所以車輛都駛得很慢。車隊於3:50pm到達雲頂的Genting酒店，酒店大堂內只有住客，歌迷倒沒幾個，所以Leon很從容的經過大堂乘升降機到客房。; 雲頂有四間酒店圍著全亞洲最大的賭場「雲頂賭場」而建，另有遊樂場和雲星劇場，都是由同一集團經營，所以大會將Leon的記者會安排在最新落成的酒店First Hotel的Business Centre內，中心內有幾個Ball Room，記者會設於最大的一個會場。Leon和張燊悅於6:45pm坐房車由Genting Hotel到達First Hotel，有數名歌迷在等待著並跟隨Leon行一段路，Leon和張燊悅等人才經過一道玻璃大門進入中心，再到記者會，其後是Cass在阿Joe的陪同下到達。記者會才正式開始。; 記者會完畢後，彭羚首先離開，然後是Leon在Stanley、阿Joe、子泉、小清.....等等所有人陪同走出。Leon神情沒有什麼特別，可是雙手擺在身後，左一步、右一步的踱步走向商務中心的玻璃大門，令致所有隨同的人都在慢步，過了玻璃大門，在等待的數名歌迷也跟隨Leon一起踱步直至坐上房車，簡直是奇景！(.....以行一大段路來說，Leon速度之慢，是網主十多年來從未見過的！) Leon在7:45pm坐房車返回酒店，其他人員也陸續坐車離去。; 20.7.2001:; 今天很多歌迷已到達雲頂，準備看演唱會，大家也預計Leon會到雲星劇場進行綵排，所以大堂內聚滿了歌迷和看熱鬧的人。在Cass和張燊悅完成綵排後，Leon於5:50pm乘升降機到達大堂，這時戶外一片白濛濛，正是特如其來雲頂特有的雲霧仙境，不過卻是風猛溫度低，一點詩意也沒有。升降機大堂分左右兩邊通道，Leon在護衛的包圍下沒有走向大堂，而是走另一邊的通路步出酒店大門，歌迷仍蜂湧的走向大門，Leon坐上房車後，向車外熱情的歌迷揮手。有位男仕了一睹Leon風采，不顧一切往前衝，跌下楷梯，連相機也跌壞了！; Leon約在7:10pm改坐七人車回到酒店，這時人群已散去不少，所以Leon可以較為從容的通過酒店大堂乘升降機返回房間。; 演唱會在雲星劇場舉行，場外掛滿長條海布，還有鮮花及假花賣，不少觀眾都買了"一支花"準備送給Leon。舞台是一般的三面台，台上還設有較高的一層讓歌星從後台走出步下樓梯到台前，那一層還安置了樂隊成員，台下座位每排分四列，共50位一排，票價馬幣330，比那處一般的演唱會票價為高，不過仍然賣光。其他座位像紅館那樣向上斜排的，也滿了十之八九。左右最側設為跳舞區，仍要賣馬幣130溝！馬來西亞歌迷大多穿上青色長袖會衫，據她們說這件長袖會服是專誠為99年到香港參加國際家族日訂造的，在大馬這樣的熱帶地區根本用不著，所以襯著要到雲頂這個只有20C的山峰，立刻帶來穿著一下。; 演唱會在8:15pm正式開幕，觀眾立刻歡呼！一開場Leon就和舞團出來表演"你係我o既"和"看上她"，Leon上身那件黑襯衣是今年歐洲最流行的小摺，配上黑褲，瀟瀟洒洒的做出那些「拈花拂塵」的手勢，已經癲倒眾生，歌迷除了各自帶備不同款色的熒光棒或燈棒外，有些更忙不迭的拿出啦啦草球配合Leon的歌曲來搖動。打過招呼後，Leon大概說:「今晚係"鍾無豔"，一邊有熒光棒一邊冇" ...(歌迷都佔據在觀眾席的左邊嘛！) 好像又說自己忘記了去年曾到吉隆坡做演唱會 (這一段網主記不清楚是否在這一節之中說的) 然後唱出 "從今開始"之後，就說要唱出自己最近的作品，歌迷立刻大叫"簡愛"，Leon也就唱出這首歌，唱到最後一句，前排歌迷一起大唱 ~~~ 得你一個！Leon低著頭在笑。唱完後，Leon介紹張燊悅出場，然後自己返回後台。; 張燊悅唱了四首歌並和主持六位觀眾玩「勁歌咀對咀」的遊戲，引起全場觀眾嘩然。其後介紹Leon再次出台。; 響起"聽身體唱歌"的音樂然後是舞蹈員穿了白衣到台前大跳特跳，Leon穿著綴有粉藍及金色花紋的白衣、綴有深色褲邊的藍牛仔褲出台表演，緊接的是 "夢想成真"，氣氛很熱烈，然後唱出慢歌"愛比我重要" 及 "非我莫屬"。Leon唱慢歌時都走向台的兩邊，向歌迷緩緩揮手，歌迷的揮手無論在搖擺幅度和節奏，明顯比Leon的大和快三四倍呀！大家都在叫著Leon，希望他走近，Leon對歌迷說:「哦！你地想我行過去！」指一指兩邊，突然向前說:「你地坐中間唔緊要啦，係咪都睇到！」; 在介紹Cass出場之前，Leon說:「有一個人我用左五年都冇轉過....」有前排歌迷自言自語:「監製！」Leon竟然聽見，向歌迷笑著說:「哈！你估錯喇！係我個髮型師........ 我而家介紹o既人當年同我用同一個髮型師.....」右面跳舞區有把女聲大叫「舒淇」，Leon沒有理睬，又有一把男聲在叫，Leon繼續說: 「我地又用同一個唱片宣傳....」同樣的女聲再大叫「舒淇」，Leon無奈笑說:「五年前我都未識佢...唱片宣傳又關舒淇事？」由於那把女聲一而再的打斷Leon的說話，在場觀眾都感到不耐煩，所以對她發出很大的噓聲.....(網主和坐在不同位置的歌迷都完全感受到觀眾是在噓，這是因為她的叫聲打斷Leon的說話，傳媒硬要說這歡呼、是掀起高潮，網主也無話可說了！) Leon讓觀眾噓完之後，說了該位宣傳人員當年為他買「消化片」變成買「消化餅干」的笑話，然後才說出當年和他共用髮型師和宣傳人員的歌手就是Cass，然後步上梯級接Cass到台前。Cass對Leon笑說:「你轉咁大個圈介紹我... 自從你用左個髮型師後，佢已經好忙，我冇得用佢喇！」接著Leon返回後台。; Cass唱出六首歌，大部份是經典代表作，又懂得搞氣氛，所以反應很熱烈，然後又是Leon出台。; Leon這次換上了珍珠底金色外套，背面綴有金色圖案，和舞團一起表演"越夜越有機"，然後坐在樓梯唱 "最後的戀愛"，唱了幾句忘記了歌詞，Leon立刻說:「哦 ~~~ 好呀，由頭o黎過！」就這樣再唱一次。接著站在台中央是唱出"我這樣愛你"，聲音高吭圓潤，保持高水準。唱完後向觀眾欠一欠身就步上梯走回後台。; 觀眾當然不要演唱會就此完結，大家都在叫安歌，另一面攝影記者則忙於拍攝歌迷 ~~ 有歌迷拿著有LEON字樣的大紅燈牌，很美觀又吸引，所以記者們都爭著要為歌迷及紅燈牌拍照。本來右面的觀眾席沒有什麼熒光棒，不過那邊跳舞區的觀眾竟然將掛在牆上的大海布拿下來橫著地搖。; Leon在歌迷的叫嚷下，再出台前演唱。Leon這次穿了一件Satin黑襯衫、綴有銀線的黑長褲，腰間加一條皮腰封，非常有型和典雅。唱出"全日愛"之後，Leon問觀眾會否到賭場玩玩，並祝願觀眾:「祝各位好運....有運就及時下注，贏左就及時收手.... 我為你地唱"及時擁抱"！」唱完歌後，Leon多謝觀眾、樂隊和舞團等等，其間看到跳舞區的觀眾搖著海布，Leon就說:「呢張海布幅相真係.....」說著用手在面上抹著，表示不夠好看.......(網主: 不是說"靚仔"冇用嗎？主辦真明白Leon的心意，嘻嘻！) Leon後來唱出"Can't Take My Eyes Off You"，然後拉著舞蹈員的手向觀眾鞠躬說再見後就返回後台。有觀眾仍然不捨，不斷在叫安歌，可惜這次Leon沒有再現身了！; 21.7.2001:; 今日雲頂風很大、氣溫更低，Leon和Cass都沒有再去綵排。觀眾在7:30pm開始就排隊進場，演唱會約在8:30pm開始。今晚的出場序與表演服都與第一場完全一樣，關於Cass和張燊悅的兩節略過不提。; 昨晚每當Leon唱完快歌靜下來或是兩首慢歌之間，歌迷走到台前向Leon送花都無住而不利，今晚買花的觀眾更多，更有一對男女在場內兜售一枝枝用閃光紙包扎的花。第一節當Leon唱完"看上她"已經開始有歌迷衝到台前送花，連Stanley也要出來制止，Leon才能繼續唱歌。Leon在唱出 "簡愛" 之前，說多謝單立文以前為他作了 "最後的戀愛" 和 "原諒我"，那些簡單的調子常在他心間，直到他要自己作曲時就不自覺的跟上了。觀眾都為單立文拍手歡呼。; 第二節慢歌期間，同時有拿著花束的日本歌迷、台灣歌迷和香港歌迷衝到台前，「混戰」一輪，Leon終於在各人手中一一收下花束。; 第三節時，有馬來西亞歌迷送上紅酒一支，又有日本歌迷送Leon一支水槍，好玩的Leon即時試玩，只是噴出一個個水泡泡，美美的飄下！; 最後一節，Leon唱出「全日愛」後，歌迷又湧前送花給Leon，Leon不斷的收呀收，這時賣花仔竟在台前背著Leon大聲向觀眾兜售:「賣花送俾黎明呀！」Leon才晃然大悟 :「哦！原來係你o係度賣花！唔好幫襯佢呀！」卻見正準備買花的女歌迷嚇了一跳望著他，Leon又只好屈服:「唉！買啦...買啦！」Leon隨即拿起兩支分別用閃光紙和縐紙包扎的花，說閃光紙那枝 : 「幾唔夠環保呀，又唔批D刺，拮到手都痛呀！」然後拿起兩支花向觀眾問 : 「你地話邊枝先環保丫？」觀眾當然附和他，Leon就滿意的點點頭。接著又問賣花仔:「不如咁丫，你將D花賣俾我丫？」賣花仔當Leon說笑，Leon再問:「幾多錢一枝呀？」賣花仔走到站在台邊的賣花女那裡商量:「賣六溝好唔好？....」然後走回中央向Leon說:「十溝！」(馬幣一溝=港幣$2) Leon大聲說:「十溝？」歌迷知道第一晚是賣八溝，就大聲叫Leon:「嘩！坐地起價呀！八溝咋！」在Leon考慮和歌迷噓他之時，Stanley走近賣花仔，那少年就匆匆離場了。Leon考慮完畢，發覺賣花仔不見了，找不著，只好繼續唱歌，唱出 "及時擁抱"。; 唱完一曲，Leon再問賣花仔在哪裡，這時又有歌迷送東西，並有歌迷送上一大籃水果，很多觀眾嘩然。當Leon再問賣花仔在哪裡，前排歌迷笑說:「D花俾Stanley買哂喇！」Leon當然不信，對歌迷說:「我真係想買架，有你地著數架....我想買來送俾在場觀眾！」這時賣花仔又忽然被Stanley帶進場，走到台前。Leon對賣花仔說:「咁丫，一百溝賣哂俾我啦，好唔好？」賣花仔考慮一下就點頭，Leon卻說:「我冇錢喎！」即時找Stanley，不過這個"緊要"關頭卻不見任何隨員，只見一個Stanley Team的Secure撓著手緊貼台下站著面向觀眾，Leon就叫他:「喂...」Secure沒有反應，Leon再: 「喂...喂...喂！」用手拍他，Secure才回頭向Leon搖頭表示沒有錢，Leon拍著他的膊頭說:「拎黎啦，我唔信你連二百蚊都冇！」Secure才由褲袋取出錢包拿了二百元港幣交給Leon，Leon再付錢給賣花仔將他手上數十支花買光。這一下台下觀眾已蠢蠢欲動，音樂響起，Leon唱出Can't Take My Eyes Off You，觀眾即時衝前接花，Leon將花分別拋給各方觀眾。唱了兩段，花已送光了，有歌迷遞上一罐噴紙條給Leon，Leon又即時向觀眾噴呀噴！; 唱完歌後整個演唱會又結束了，Leon先多謝馬香西亞歌迷，然後用日文多謝日本歌迷，接著笑著對香港歌迷說:「香港歌迷，唔駛多謝啦！」再多謝樂師舞團等台前幕後人員，然後轉身回後台了。Leon在音樂還未完結，已坐車回到Genting酒店的房間內。; 約11:30pm，Leon從他入住的3/F那條秘密通道轉到慶功宴會場「泰華宮」。; (網主 : 瑣事太多，未能盡錄！); (Posted 26 July, 2001 11:50pm); 19-22 July 2001 Leon&Friends Genting Concert; 19.07.01; Together with his music crew and other staff, Leon sets off to Malaysia on the Cathay Pacific flight this morning. Leon arrived at the airport terminal at around 9.40am, wearing blue jacket, jeans, runners and with sunglasses. Since Leon was in a hurry, he briefly greeted the fans there and went straight for departure. Nearly everyone has gone into departure already but then came Ah Bee (with two rusack) were stopped by fans who want to say farewell. The departure gate was quite far away and with no golf car insight, the whole crew had to walk the long distance. Worst hit must be Nicole Cheung, since even when she was exhausted she still didn't reach the gate yet!; The flight arrived into KL at 1.30pm. They were arranged to rest in the VIP room by the organisers. Once they entered the room, Leon was not seen again but only Chi Chuen coming to and forth for the luggage. (pure guess: maybe they are waiting for someone or some body doesn't feel too well?) After the musicians and dancers had departed to Genting, half hour later, at 2.30pm, Leon departed from the airport terminal. Leon, on his own, ascended onto a waiting Benz, and the driver drove the car to the side of the road to let Chi Chuen hand Leon a Mc Donald's Fillet of fish burger. Just like the picture where Leon was biting the apple in the Red Shoes Evolution CD, Leon hungrily ate the burger in three bites! Then Joe handed Leon a large coke; the car then drove off. At the same time, other awaiting cars also departed. (webmaster guess: Since Leon is a workoholic, he must have been working non stop before this trip! He must have been so tired that he did nothing but sleep on the plane, thus explaining why he was so hungry! Heart break just to think about it!); Because the rain was quite heavy, their car drove very slowly and by 3.50pm, they finally arrived at the Genting Hotel. Inside the hotel concourse, there were only a few tourist and a small amount of fans, thus, Leon could smoothly get to his hotel room with ease. The four hotels in Genting are built in a such a way that it's uses "the Genting Gambling Arena" as their centre point. Within the same management, there are also a theme park and an opera house. Thus, the concert organisers arranged Leon's press conference in the business centre of the first hotel. There are many ball room in this hotel and the conference of course was held in the largest ball room. At 6.45pm, Leon and Nicole Cheung arrived at the First Hotel and a couple of fans were waiting and they followed Leon for a little distance. They passed a big glass door into the centre and then into the conference room. Next followed into the conference room was Joe Chan and Cass Pang. The press conference then officially began.; After the conference ended, Cass was the first one to depart, then was Leon with Stanley, Joe, Chi Chuen and Siu Ching. Leon looking normal, but with both hands at the back, Leon walked one step left, one step right walked very slowly out of the business centre's glass door. This caused the fans behind him walked extra slow too! ( for a normal walking distance, webmaster has not seen Leon walk so slow in the last ten years!) Leon returned back to the hotel at 7.45pm.; 20.07.2001:; Genting Opera House is the concert venue and there were many banners and poster all around the exterior. There were some flower stalls and many incoming crowds bought "a single flower" for you know who!? The stage(with an extended level with stairs so that Leon can emerge from back stage; the band are also station there) is the normal three sides and the audience divided into four parts of seating. Each row had 50 seats, each priced at 330 MR. Although it is more expensive than the usual, but nevertheless all sold out. The other seating are just like in Hong Kong Coliseum, upward sloping with nearly 90% full. At the far left and right are the "disco" section, priced at 130 MR. Majority of the Malaysian Leon Family members wore a long sleeve green shirt (these shirts were especially made for the '99 concert international fans day). Usually, there are no need for long sleeves in such a tropical weather but in Genting there is only 20C, it really works wonder!; The concert promptly began at 8.15pm, with a huge cheer from the audience! Leon, along with the dancers, sang "You are mine" and "Saw Her". Leon wore the latest black shirt (very hit in Europe!) and black trousers. Fans themselves bought along different styles of luminous rods and some had cheerleading pom poms! Leon said (approx.) " Tonight is very interesting, one side is dark, the other is very bright!" (this is because majority of the fans were at the right hand side). He then said he nearly forgot that he already held a concert in KL last year (webmaster forgot which part did he said this). After singing "From Now On", Leon then said he will sing a new song composed by him. Fans shouted "Simple Love". Leon of course sang this song and when he sang to the last line, those fans at the front row all sang with him " Only you..." Leon smiled sweetly as he heard this! Leon then introduced his first guest on stage- Nicole Cheung. Leon then went backstage. She sang four songs and played some games with the audience. Leon returned onstage and the music of " Listen to the body Sing" exploded and the dancers in white followed. Leon wore a white shirt with gold patterns and blue jeans and jumped on to the stage. He then sang " Dreams comes True" (very hot ambience!) then he sang "Love more important than me" and "No One but Me". While Leon was singing the slow songs, he walked to one side of the stage and waved to the fans! Of course the fans waved back with three times the strength! Every one was screaming "Leon!", wishing he could go closer, so Leon said "So you want me to walk closer?" pointing to the two side and then said to those in the centre "Since you are sitting in the centre, you can see everything!"; Before Leon introduced Cass on stage, Leon said "There is one person that has been working with me for five years.... " Some fans at the front muttered among themselves "Producer?" Leon actually heard this and said "Ha ha, you guessed wrong! It is my hair stylist!" "The person I will introduce now also share the same stylist!" A female voice screamed "Shu Qi" Leon ignored her and another male scream. Leon continued "We also have the same promotion personnel... " The same female voice screamed yet again "Shu Qi". Leon, unwillingly smiled "Five years ago, I not yet know her, what has album promotion go to do with Shu Qi?" Since that female voice kept disrupting Leon's speech, the audience was a little annoyed and gave a loud "Boooo..." (webmaster and other fans siting in different position all heard the crowd's disapproval. This is because she kept butting into Leon. But someone the media all reported that the audience was hyper and cheered! Webmaster has really nothing to say!) Leon waited for the crowd to let out their disapproval and then said that this promotion staff bought "digestive biscuit" instead of "digestive tablets" for him! He then said Cass was the singer who shared same promotion staff and hair stylist. Cass came on stage and smiled "Wow, you went through such trouble to introduce me! Do you know how busy is the hair stylist after working with you? He has no time for me!" Leon returned back stage as Cass began his performance. Cass sang six songs, mainly her greatest hits. Since she knew how to stir the crowd, the atmosphere was great! Soon, Leon was back on stage!; This time, Leon wore a pearl-gold jacket, with a gold pattern at the back. Together with the dancers, they performed "Later more opportunity". He then sat on the stairs and sang "Last Love". After singing the first couple of lines, he them forgot the next line and Leon immediately said "Oh... OK, Let's start again!" and then he re sang the song. He then went over to the centre of the stage and sang "I love you this much". He made a slight bow to the audience and went backstage. The audience knew this is not the end of the concert and they continued to scream "Encore", with one of the photographers shooting the screaming fans. Some of the fans had a red banner with "Leon" on it. It was very big and artistic and this attracted a lot of attention and photographers! Originally, the fans on the right didn't have any luminous rods but the audience in the disco area took down one of the posters on the wall and start waving it!; Leon finally returned on stage! He was wearing a black satin shirt, black trousers with a silver lining, with a large belt around the waist(like a corset), very elegant indeed! After singing "All Day Love", Leon asked the audience would they go to the casino? He said "Best of luck, but after winning, remember to stop in time! I bring you my song.. In time to hug!" This was the penultimate song of the night and Leon thanked everyone present, dancers, band etc. When he saw the posters that the disco area was holding, Leon said "Hmm... the picture on this poster is .... " then with his thumb pointing down indicating it is not too handsome. (webmaster: but didn't he say handsome is no use? The organisers really know what Leon wants!haha!) Leon sang the final song of the night "Cant Take My Eyes Off U". Together with the dancers, they salute to the crowd and went backstage. The audience of course didn't want to see Leon leave, and screamed encore non stop, but this time, Leon didn't reappear.; 21.07.2001; Just before the slow songs of the second session, fans from Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong all rushed forward to give flowers to Leon, while Leon patiently received them all. In the third session, a Malaysian fan gave Leon a bottle of red wine, while a Japanese fan gave Leon a water gun! Leon immediately played with it and he squirt bubbles all over the stage! In the last session, after Leon sang "All Day Love", another fan rushed forward to give Leon a flower so Leon yet again, received them in his hand. Then the person who were selling flowers, with the back to Leon and facing the crowd began to sell to the crowd and loudly said "Buy some flowers to give to Leon!". Only then did Leon realise and said "Oh!.. So you are the one selling flowers!, Don't buy from him!" A female fan was about to buy flowers, and when she heard Leon said this, she jumped in hesitation! Leon then said "Hm.. OK! Buy then!" Leon then took one of the flower (with a bit of tinsel paper wrapping it) in his hand and said "Not very environment friendly really, there are still some thorns on it, can injure some one if not careful!" Leon then lift up the flowers, and then said to the crowd "Do you think is it environment friendly?" The audience of course agreed with Leon and Leon nodded in satisfaction and then turned to the flower seller and said "Why not you sell the flowers to me!" He thought Leon was joking but Leon continued "How much for each?" He walked over to another colleague and discuss among themselves "How about 6MR?" then walked over to Leon in the centre and said "10Mr" (1MR=$2) Leon loudly said "10MR?" Fans knew that on the first night, it only costs 8MR, and loudly told Leon "Wa! Only 8MR!" While Leon was thinking about it, and fans jeering to the flower seller, Stanley came over and he immediately walked away. When Leon finished thinking, he couldn't find him anymore, so he just continued singing "In time to Hug".; After that song, Leon again asked where is that flower seller? A fan gave Leon a big basket of fruit, and this caused a lot of fans cheering! Again, Leon wants to find that flower seller, so the fans in the front row joked "Stanley bought all the flowers!"
