2001年8月23日  從北京回港

Leon 於8月22日在北京大運會開幕式演出後，23日乘航機返港，歌迷當然要爭取這個驚鴻一瞥的機會，所以機場聚了幾十名歌迷在等候。

一眾人等到達機場，即聰明地去看顯示板，板上顯示由北京返港的港龍機將于3:22pm抵達，出閘口為B，於是大部份人靜靜地在B閘等待；航機抵達後大約過了二十分，忽然聽到有人說，Leon正在往A閘口步出，嘩！大件事！接機大堂咁大又咁多人，跑到A閘實在無可能，第一秒時間決定，由電梯跑上二樓，再跑往A閘方向；可惜網主久疏戰陣，無乜練功，上到二樓已經氣喘如牛，勉強跑到A的方向，唉！都算好彩！在Leon上車前看到他一眼，還看見他身穿今年流行的格仔恤衫，不過、有大約十個Fans在A閘等候的，和兩個由B區飛跑往A區的記者，接到Leon，並一齊步上車路！

(今次網主Esther患病，精神不佳，由本人Salina出勤並執筆報導，不過假如次次都要跑到嘔白泡，恐怕我都好快會玩完！)

23.08.01 Return From Beijing

After appearing as a guest performer on Beijing University Athletics Opening Ceremony on 22nd, Leon returns to HK on the 23rd. In order to catch a glimpse of Leon, there were around 100 fans at the airport waiting.

Fans cleverly looked at the display board to see when would the flight arrive. It indicated that the Dragon Airline would land at 3.22pm, while the arrival gate was Gate B. Thus, majority of the fans waited quietly outside Gate B. 20 minutes after the flight has landed, a whisper was heard implying that Leon would exit out of Gate A! Wow! But with so many people in the arrival hall, there is little chance that everyone can run to Gate A at the other side of the arrival hall! With only one second to think, the only way being run up the escalator to level II and go to towards Gate A. But lack of fitness, by the time webmaster ran to level II, was exhausted and could barely make it to the direction of Gate A. But nevertheless, still could see one glance at Leon before he got into the van. He was wearing a Burberry Shirt, very fashionable indeed! However, there were around 10 or so fans waiting at Gate A, two journalists who flew from Gate B managed to see Leon and walked with him until he reached his van!

(Webmaster Esther was ill today so myself Sallina wrote this report. But honestly, if I have to run like this everytime, I really don't know how long I can last!)

2001年8月19日  飛北京參加「世界大學生運動會」揭幕表演

Leon榮獲大會邀請成為「世界大學生運動會」揭幕表演嘉賓之一，今晨乘早機飛往北京開始綵排。子泉和Stanley及幾名Secure早在7am已到達機場大樓辦理登機手續。

阿B駕著保母車約於7:30am駛至機場大樓外，停在比慣常停車點較遠一點，保母車駛過時，由於車簾沒有關上，所以看到Leon正在戴黑眼鏡。早著先機的幾名fans則跑到停車點看到Leon輕輕鬆鬆下車的一刻。架著啡色墨鏡的Leon穿上深卡其色、胸前印有少許綠色圖案的短袖Tee，配藍色牛仔長褲，相對T-shirt較淺的卡其色鞋面、白色鞋底運動鞋，保母車一停就已下車，很開心的和阿B揮手bye-bye，然後在Stanley和secure的陪同下面向fans走過小馬路。Leon今日神采飛揚，曬得一身陽光氣息的他身材也健碩得恰到好處呢！

這時不少歌迷已陸續趕到，都和Leon在說早晨，Leon也不斷回應，過了馬路就有位太太遞上一封利是，Leon先是推說:「唔駛啦，一陣之嘛，唔使哂錢啦！」在旁的fans幫口說:「利利是是嘛！」「順順利利嘛！」盛情難卻之下Leon也就開心的收下，這時就有其他婆婆和年輕歌迷陸續將利是及信件交給Leon，Leon也一一收下。

Leon走下斜路時，有歌迷問Leon睡得好不好，是否眼朣所以戴黑眼鏡，Leon回應「唔！」歌迷就笑Leon說:「你一定訓得好好，所以眼朣喇！我地都訓得好好呀，所以你睇下，我地個個對眼都朣哂！」弄得Leon和歌迷都忍不住笑。下了斜路，繼續有幾個歌迷發問，其中有~~

fans:「你今次唱幾多首歌呀？」

Leon:「兩首」

fans:「壓軸呀？」

Leon:「唔緊要丫，我唱中間」

fans:「Leon呀，你幾時先正式唱"相約在北京呀？今年有冇機會呀？」

Leon嗲嗲的笑，fans:「唔使等七年卦？」

Leon笑說:「我都唔知喎！」

很快走到禁區前，歌迷和Leon頻頻互說bye-bye，Stanley則提醒fans不要走進禁區，Leon從容踏進禁區那一刻，不忘回頭向歌迷揮手說bye-bye！

(網主: 今早fans都感染到Leon的開心！)

19.08.01 To Beijing

Leon has been invited as a guest performer in China's University Athletics Championship opening ceremony. This morning, he will fly to Beijing for rehearsals. At 7.00am, Stanley, Chi Chuen and a couple of security were at the airport checking in for Leon. Ah Bee drove Leon to the airport and at 7.30am, they arrived outside the terminal building. He stopped a little further than usual. When the van stopped, since the blinds in the van was not shut, Leon can be seen just putting on his sunglasses. Couple of fans already walked forward and saw Leon descend the van in very happy comfortable mood. Leon was wearing a camouflage tee (with a green design at the front), jeans, a light green running shoes. Leon waved goodbye to Ah Bee and walked with Stanley and fans towards departure. Leon was in very good spirits, and his new tan has showed off his muscles!

A lot of fans has joined up with Leon by this stage and everyone was saying good morning to Leon. Leon greeted everyone also. Crossed the road, a lady handed Leon a lucky red pocket, but Leon said "No need, I am only going for a short while!" But other fans said "For Luck!" So Leon accepted it after all. Other fans began to hand Leon lucky red pocket, letters and gifts. Down the slopes, a fan asked Leon did he sleep well, was his eyes swollen? (hence the sunglasses). Leon nodded and other fan smiled and said "You must have slept so well that your eyes are swollen, but we are the same, look, we slept well and eyes swollen also!" Leon laughed as he heard it.

Another fan asked Leon

Fan "Leon, how many songs will you sing?"

Leon "Two"

Fans "At the end?"

Leon "No, in the middle"

Fan "Leon, when are you going to officially sing "Meet in Beijing"?, any chance this year?"

Leon smiled and the fan continued "Surely we don't have to wait seven years?"

Leon smiled "That I don't know!"

Soon, they reached customs and fans said farewell to Leon, with Stanley reminding fans not to go into customs area too! Once inside, Leon still looked back and waved to fans.

2001年8月10日  國泰城UNICEF記招

Leon在2:35左右來到國泰城，有部份歌迷透過上層的玻璃窗看到Leon經過。Leon穿著粉藍色的UNICEF Tee，藍色牛仔褲及藍色鞋，精神奕奕。

Leon在3:25左右離開，有點意外地竟然沒有Secure，大群記者追著出來狂影，更有一位記者請Leon開車開門，Leon也應其要求開門並揮手讓記者拍照，而Leon離開時也拉開簾揮手、開窗收禮物。

10.08.01 UNICEF Press Conference

At 2.35pm, Leon arrived at Cathay City. Some fans ran up to the upper level to see Leon pass by through the large glass window. Leon was wearing the light blue UNICEF tee, jeans and blue shoes. He was in excellent form. Leon departed at 3.25pm, surprisingly, there were no security. So a large crowd of photographers rushed towards him. One of the photographer requested Leon to open the van door so that he can photograph him inside. Leon happily posed for photographs. When Leon was about to leave, he opened the curtains and opened the window to accept letters and gifts.

2001年8月9日  西九龍Evolution Party

今天Leon出席在西九龍舉行的Evolution Party，或許由於Leon久未公開與觀眾見面，六時舉行的活動，二時許商場的一樓和二樓的欄杆已擠滿了人。

有入場貼紙的歌迷陸續來到，以貼紙換領西九龍印發的正式入場，先到先得，約四時許，二百多張票已換領一空，遲來的便各找有利位置恭候Leon大駕，不單舞台的一層，連二、三層也站滿了人，部份被逼站到四、五樓。

約五時五十五分左右，Leon乘坐保姆車來到商 場後面的停車處，下車由樓梯拾級而登，在一樓(即舞台的那一層)側邊的樓梯上二樓乘電梯落番一樓進入後台。(不知道有多少位幸運歌迷可以從透明電梯看到Leon呢？ )

六時零五分，由四位漂亮的舞蹈員隨著「你係我o既」的Remix版、以勁舞開場，近結尾時台上更噴出六、七支弧形的水柱，噴得幾位美女變成出水芙蓉，這時司儀Kawai便介紹主角Leon出場，Leon身穿淺色的中袖迷彩Tee、四個骨的3D牛仔褲、白波鞋，一出場先多謝舞蹈員，然後再回答Kawai 提問有關Evolution的誕生，Leon說最高興是第一版有的、第二版沒有，而同樣第二版有的東西，第一版也沒有。(各位歌友們，識做啦！)為測試歌迷對Evolution認識有多少，進行了一場問答遊戲，問的全是唱片內的問題，問題不詳述了，值得一提的是，Leon對答案的「對、錯」是非常認真的，他認為對就是對，錯就是錯，沒有「好接近」這回事。

問答遊戲後，Kawai出盡法寶要Leon在水柱中跳舞，大讚Leon是「聲色藝舞」俱全的藝人，Leon當然冇咁易受(乙水)，直率的說，「我係聲色藝冇俱全的藝人，我唔係完美的」。不過，Leon始終是順得人的藝人，最後都答應了，不過跳舞就唔多似，似表演「穿水簾」多一點，因為他矯捷地在水柱中間，左穿右插，但最後竟然自投水網，自己走埋去比水淋，他說：我知道呢個遊戲的規則，你地想我淋瀑之嘛，我淋濕左啦...Leon，你真係聰明叻，記者的菲林又消耗不少！

接著由事先選出的三對觀眾表演水中舞作比賽，以濕得最少、舞姿最佳為勝，結果由一對青年男女勝出，贏得萬元簽脹額。六時四十分聚會就在大家的依依不捨中結朿，會後，Leon在後台接受了文字和攝記的訪問、拍攝，大約在6:50左右沿來時的路徑乘車離開。

09.08.01 Evolution Party

Leon will host the evolution party today in the West Dragon Centre today. Since Leon hasn't been in the public eye for some time, although the party began at 6.00pm, there were fans gathering in the centre as early as 2.00pm! Those fans who had the invitations exchanged for entry stickers in the centre. Since it was on a first come basis, by 4.00pm, all 200 allocations were given out. So those came late made other arrangements, such as finding the best positions on the balcony, either on level two or three. Others not so lucky had to go as far as level five. At around 5.55pm, Leon arrived at the centre car park, and went towards level I (where the stage is) and walked on the stairs to level II so that he can descend from the turbo glass lift down to the backstage on level I. (wonder how many lucky fans saw Leon in the glass elevator?)

At 6.05pm, four beautiful dancers came on stage and danced to the music of the remix version of "You are mine". Towards the end of the music, there were six or seven of water pipes, splashing water every year! Then finally, MC Kawaii introduced Leon on stage. Leon was wearing a light colour medium sleeve tee, Levis 3D jeans (3/4 length). Leon immediately thanked the dancers and then answered some questions asked by Kawaii (mainly about the Evolution CD). Leon said he was very content that there are some things in version I that is not in version II and vice versa. (hence, we know we will buy both versions!) There was a game to test fans about their knowledge about the evolution CD. While answering, Leon was in a very serious mood, in that he said "Correct" and "Incorrect" towards the answers, and no in between!

After the little game, Kawai attempted to tempt Leon towards the water cannons, and using endless praise as the bait! (for e.g., she said Leon is a perfect performer, but Leon modestly said he is definitely not!) Leon finally agreed to danced there but he was more concern with dodging the water than dancing! Finally, Leon said "I know the rules, you just want to see me wet! I 'll get wet then!" Leon, you are so so clever and this murdered many of the photographer's films!

Then there was another game where contestants would danced among the water, those who get wet the least and with the best dance step would be the winner. A pair of young boy and girl won the competition and they won around $10000 credit card purchases. The party ended at 6.40, and afterwards Leon was interviewed by the media, and at around 6.50, he departed the arena.
