a rare hello

After repeated (failed) attempts at breaking through the Great Firewall of China, today seems to be a rare breakthrough!

Yup, I’ve been in Beijing for a week now and I’ve not been able to get into sites like Twitter, Facebook and WordPress.

In this rare moment that I’m actually attempting to send a message out to the outside world (and I hope it works), just wanted to say that all’s well here and so far I’m at Day 6 of 36 here in Beijing and still going strong

It’s been a whirlwind time so far catching up with all my old Beijing pals, teachers, and getting through the ceremonial drinking sessions with them.

I wish I took more pictures for this rare post, but I guess I’ll update proper when I’m back and the internet and firewall stuff are all stable!

Here’re some photos which I had already successfully uploaded from before I left for Beijing, featuring some of the recent happenings:

TENG performed at the opening of the Sun Yat Sun Memorial at Wan Qing Yuan- it was a fabulous affair by Creative Director Royston Tan!

We had a real fabulous time playing for the thousands strong crowd that turned up!

Really love the whole retro/ pseudo-Getai getup stage

Hopefully I’ll get to post a few more times whilst I’m still in Beijing- if not, take care meantime and happy holidays everyone!

I’ll be back with more photos, tips and all about Beijing and I’ll definitely be returning to Singapore with a lot more completed works!
