Leehom -- Almost

Last Sunday (March 15, 2009), apparently Leehom was in China doing another promotional event for a revamped version of his recent album, Heartbeat. I, however, did not find out until about 2.5 days AFTER the event occurred. Missing the promotional event would not have been as bad if it wasn’t ---

1. my day off from work
2. an autograph session
3. in Shanghai
4. at the Shanghai Stadium (where I went for his 2008 concert)
5. WHICH IS (kinda) ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY APARTMENT!!
6. a mere 10 minutes max walk from where I live
7. omgosh ... are. you. serious?!?!?

But unfortunately, it was my day off from work (Sunday -- day of rest) and Leehom was indeed holding a fan meet-and-greet-autograph session in Shanghai, at the Shanghai Stadium which is “across” the street from where I live, about a 10 minutes walk.

And again. omgosh ... are. you. serious?!?!?

What was I doing instead? I had finished that week’s MAIS homework assignments early so I had the day free to roam around Shanghai and basically have a lazy day. If I had gone out, I probably would have seen a crowd around the stadium and might have investigated. Instead, I decided to stay indoors (that day was a gorgeous Shanghai spring day) and clean up and organize my bedroom. My bedroom really is clean and organized now, since I threw out all my old papers and re-modeled my window/desk area and TV stand area. I even posted a facebook status update stating that I was now “renewed.” Daniella even commented on it.

But even with my cleaner, fresher room, I am minus one Leehom autograph.

Leehom autograph > clean bedroom

[There is still the autographed Change Me album I got personally signed that one summer in Taiwan, but to add another signed album to my meager collection would have been awesome. Like, very awesome]
