Hacken mistakes Han Hong for Brenda Lo

The night before last, Hacken Lee was present at the Gong Yik Kam Charity Show. A few days ago he was a guest at Sammi Cheng's concert and enjoyed her final song, admitting he was moved by it. Something embarassing also happened. He mistook female mainland singer Han Hong for Brenda Lo. He said "I've been diagnosed with 'mistaking other people syndrome'. This illness has been with me for 10 years and my colleagues already know that I frequently mistake people. At first I greeted Han Hong in Cantonese and felt that it was strange. If Han Hong hasn't left HK yet, hopefully she'll see this report and forgive me!"

Hacken said that in the past Theresa Lee took on the job to perform as guest for his 10 concerts but unfortunately later when he bumped into her on the street he could not recognise her. When asked whether he would be able to recognise his wife, he replied "At the moment it doesn't matter if I can recognise them or not, I'll greet them first. I'm getting old, I might need to improve my eyesight with blueberries."

Hacken & Cheung Tak Lan rehearse

Yesterday Hacken and Teresa Cheung Tak Lan rehearsed for "community chest fundraiser" event. They will sing three songs together, including Alan's "Who will change", "Love is warm inside the heart" and "Sentimental Heart" 《谁可改变》、《爱在心内暖》及《情义两心坚》. Hacken joked that previously Andy Lau had sung "Sentimental Heart", and now it was his turn. During the performance there will be a rising platform, and they are a bit nervous. Hacken said that previously he had been caught, as he hadn't attended rehearsals for an awards ceremony and didn't expect there to be fireworks happening, so he was unprepared for them. His pet dislikes are confetti and polystyrene foam, as he feels they affect a singer's performance as they blow into his mouth!

Once Hacken asked his assistant to hold up the lyrics on a big board for him, but when he sang to that part of the song, his assistant still had not appeared. All he could do was wave at the audience. He once again mentioned Alan, saying that "When Alan forgets his lyrics, he turns his mic to the audience! The big boards with lyrics were made for him...but now even he's changed to use the Plasma TVs!"
