Autograph Session @ Cairhill Road

[kahyin]

Hi,

I need to put my comment on last week Lee Hom's autograph session for his latest album "EVOLUTION" held at Cairnhill Road (The Heeren Shop).


First, the organizer only allow those with coupon fans can queue up and the coupon only can get it from the recent CD, I bought the CD on very early stage cause I strongly support Lee Hom's music. So I didn't get any coupon but I still went for it to support Lee Hom's at about 12.00 noon. When I reach there, the organizer advise us that for those without coupon you are NOT ALLOW to queue up, I was very angry and ask them WHY... we also fans of Lee Hom, I bought the original CD and on the 1st week he reliase the album. WHY we can't queue up. So after then, they allow us to queue but separate out with those coupon and with the conditions are if the timing is allow after Lee Hom finished all with coupon then is our turn.

So, we queue outsite (without shelter), about 4.45 p.m. Lee Hom was here. When I saw him all my tired and angry disappear. When the time he start the show, it was raining, the organiser never arrange to let us to queue up insite (with shelter). For those without umbrella, they have to move inside and they lost the queue.

When Lee Hom's start to sign, I was very worry cause the queue (with coupon) was terrible long. Some fans came very late but with coupon can get his signature more early then us. Lee Hom's try his very best to sign for every one. Finally his finished all with coupon, then is our turn. I'm was very happy, finally can get his signature. By the time, reach my turn I take out my lyric booklet to let Lee Hom's sign on it. Then I was stop by the organiser again said that Lee Hom's only sign on the cover of the CD which I forgot to bring out (They said was stated in the coupon, but I didn't see the coupon at all). security also try to stopped me to go forward and said he will not sign for me. I was very sad and angry and "WHY" if so, then I have to ask Lee Hom, "WHY". After they saw my angry face, they just let me go. And Lee Hom's is SO NICE and never ask anything and just sign for me. I just said thanks to him and go.

After at all, I was so disappointed why they do all this funny funny think for what. They even can't think this will make our fans heart broken. They come out all the "STUPID COUPON" and strictly sign on cover. I really can't understand why they do this... Why can't think of first come first basic. Some fans came from Malaysia also don't have any coupon and they allow them to queue up first. I'm a Malaysian also, so I can also claim that I all the way from Malaysia, please let me in the queue first.

I just want to make my voice to this unfair situation for the fans in the without coupon queue.

Please help me to send this message to the respective organiser.

Hi Kah Yin,

I understand your frustration but dun be so angry ok, after all you did get Lee Hom¡¦s autograph.
Yah, I agree the coupon thing is a bit unfair to those who bought the CD early. But come to think about it, having the coupon is a way to limit the number of people (I mean Lee Hom only got limited time as his schedule is packed, of course he cannot be there for hours to autograph for everybody who bought the album). And I think the organizer is already good enough to allow those without the coupon to get the autograph.

I hope that you can understand that the organizer must of course let those who have the coupon to get the autograph first, even though they might not be as early as you. This is because, many fans, including myself, has bought his album again just to get the coupons (of course there are people who bought later and were lucky to get the coupons). So I think it is only fair to let us who have bought his album again for the coupon to be given priority over those without the coupon.

And for the rain thingie, I think that it really cannot be help. Many of us, with or without the coupons, are equally drenched. Since this is an outdoor event, there is little the organizer could do too. I think the organizer has already did a good job to control the huge turnout. I think the reason for having so many restriction is that there are simply too many people.

I really like to thank the organizer for having such a successful autograph session (although there is some clinches here and there). This is the first time that LeeHom is holding an outdoor autograph session and I¡¦m sure he is touched by the huge turnout.
