What: Our Home: Leehom International Fan club (Singapore)
Where: ourhomesg.zanarkand.org/
When: 8th August 1999
Who: Lee Jiehao
How many members: 650
Membership Fee: None
How often do you meet up for fan club activities? On average, Leehom releases his album annually and he makes it a point to head down to Singapore to promote his album. OurHome SG gets extremely busy when Leehom is due to arrive in Singapore. We meet up at least 3 weeks before his arrival to make preparations. On top of that, when Leehom has events overseas, such as concerts, we will gather together to compile our best wishes for him.
How often do you get to meet the artiste? We get to meet Leehom almost annually as he heads down to Singapore for his album promotion. On top of that, some fans will travel overseas to support Leehom in his overseas events such as concerts or movie launch. This is a good opportunity for local fans to catch up with international fans as well.
What are some of the things you guys have done for the artiste? As Leehom only steps on shore once a year, OurHome SG makes it a point to make Leehom's trip a memorable one. We had prepared many gifts for Leehom over his 11 years in the industry.
Knowing that Leehom has a keen interest in ethnic instruments, OurHome SG specially made a trip down to Little India and got him a sitar - a traditional Indian instrument. This gift was presented to Leehom when he came in 2003 for his "Unbelievable" album promotion.
For his next album, "Shangri la", promotion, OurHome SG got really busy. That year, the club has decided to make Leehom¡¯s trip truly memorable. Pink heart-shaped balloons printed with the club logo and the words "Forever Love" were filled with helium and tied on the barricades surrounding the event ground. And after Leehom sang the said ballad from the album, the balloons were released into the sky. Leehom was awed by the view and left Singapore feeling impressed.
More recently, Leehom's 2006 "Heroes of Earth" album promotion fell in his birthday month. This was a significant trip as OurHome SG would then be able to celebrate his birthday in advance with him. Leehom composes music whenever he has the inspiration so he always carries his portable devices in a backpack wherever he goes. With this knowledge, OurHome SG prepared a similar backpack embroidered with his dragon treble clef logo. This was presented to Leehom as his birthday surprise together with a cake of the same design and a huge card containing heartfelt greetings from fans. The delight on Leehom's face spoke volumes and we were simply glad that he enjoyed his mini birthday celebration.
