Leehom -- almost (again)

I meant to blog about this event a few days ago but got a little busy (... with life and with general procrastination), so here I am to make up for lost time.

If you recall from a previous post, March 22, 2009 I posted about a missed opportunity at a Leehom event. Well guess what? Make that now TWO missed opportunities! Yes, dear reader that is correct. Twice I have missed out at a Leehom event. Obviously many things in my life are out of my hands, but I still have to admit there is a certain pang of disappointment when I discovered this.

Again, here are the facts of his China visit ... please notice how everything was so ... convenient.

Leehom was in Shanghai (again...) in the month of April. (so was I)

Leehom was in the XuHui District in the month of April. (I live in the XuHui District)

Leehom was at the Metro City shopping mall doing a promotion. (I wasn’t, but I could have been because it is only a max 30 minutes walk from my apartment)

This was a Saturday event. (the significance being that Saturday is my day off from work)

However, it happened to be on the exact day that I was to leave Shanghai for Taiwan. How ironic is that? Leehom was in China doing a promotional event when I was wondering whether I would have the opportunity to be a fan_girl at one of his promotional events in Taiwan.

You know what’s the best part? My roommate, Sina, was actually at the Metro City shopping mall on the day of the event. She was making a quick stop over there to find some “Shanghai” souvenirs to bring with her to Taiwan for my family. She bought the souvenirs and she says that she remembered seeing a large crowd at the entrance of the mall. But she didn’t think anything of it and went along her merry way to meet me at the metro station to go to the airport. Sina is also a huge Leehom fan.

We found out about the Shanghai Metro City Leehom event a week later, when we had returned to Shanghai from Taiwan.

C’est la vie. :)
