I apologise for my long absence. Blogspot is banned in china, so is livejournal, multiply, wikkipedia and flickr. Apart from diverting through servers and waiting forever, it is virtually impossible to find an easy way around it. Well, maybe if internet speed was faster.

So, i moved to china almost 5 months ago, now im back in singapore on chinese new year holidays. Things are wonderful, im loading up on local oily treats, festive treats and hanging out with my family.

i was at the temple today as every year 4 zodiac animals offend the 'tai tsui' deity and prayers and offerings have to be made for a smooth(er) year ahead.

i'm flying back to pollution capital tomorrow; i love it in beijing, it's a crazy city and keeps me on my toes. everyday is a surprise and it's a nice place to be coming from sterile singapore. it's the real world personified. And the architecture in the city is unrivalled- contemporary and revolutionary. I am short of vocabulary to describe it, but reviews and articles on the structures are aplenty.

hope you're well T, warm wishes for the year of the rat. May you enjoy good health, good luck, happiness and prosperity this 2008!
