LeeHom promised that he will attend Msia's "1st Chinese Asian Golden Melody Awards" ceremony on 11th Nov. He even joked that there are no reports of any rumours of him in Hong Kong because he did not show off his briefs. (??)

LeeHom attended the "111 Award Ceremony Charity Donation Ticket Drive" at "Golden River" square, in a red t-shirt and casual jeans garb. In a short 15 mins, LeeHom informed everyone about the details of the ticekt drive, including what numbers to call (03-92009434, 03-92009435), the prices of the tickets (Rm150, Rm110, Rm80 and Rm50) and the beneficiary (Wen Lang Gang Zhong Hua Primary school's building fund etc). The 1st ten advance bookings will get a HongKong imported CD "Forever's First Day", which includes an additional Cantonese track.

In the meantime, Leehom wasted no time in "showing off" his new cantonese song. When asked about questions that the Hong Kong media love asks him, Leehom expressed that the Hong Kong media has been good to him. And with referance to why there are no rumours about him, Leehom replied that it was because he does not play with them nor show them his briefs!

Comfirmed to be attending the "1st Chinese Asian Golden Melody Awards".

Leehom expressed that whether or not he receives any awards, he would definately fly into Malaysia to attend the ceremony, held in Genting. "I flew specially into Taiwan, from New York, to attend the Taiwan's "Golden Melody Awards. It is quite seldom to get to attend such meaningful events, hence i would definately support it."

Leehom can be said to be a regular guest in award ceremonies, but yet he is still very humble. He pointed out that he never thinks about what awards he would win when he makes his albums and added that he is not very particular about the awards. "The first question I ask about these ceremonies is who are the judges. After knowing this detail, I would then know the meaning behind the event."

The "1st Chinese Asian Golden Melody Awards" would be judged by the "Asian Musician Society" and part of the awards would be determined by public voting. This is very new to Leehom. With the amount of applause by the audience below to gauge which category Leehom should win, the "Best Male Vocalist", "Best Producer" and "Best Album" seem to be in Leehom's favor. This really goes to show how much Msian fans love Leehom.
