Recently I have visited Beijing for two consecutive weekends. It all started with an award I got from the Chinese Marketing Department. I had to attend that award ceremony, and that's why I was in Beijing in the first place. To make my time there more productive, our marketing power girl Liz has managed to arranged a line of interviews for me in major Chinese financial magazines, Phoenix TV. In between those two weekends, I came back to Hong Kong for a really famous radio show! These two weeks had turned into a full-fledged press tour! Woo hoo Viva La Productivity!

The trip started with the award ceremony in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing (人民大会堂). It was snowing that day.

This is the brand new Chinese Oprah House right next to the Hall. It was gorgeous!!!

Here's me getting the award. Look how totally lame I was muahahaha~ After getting the award, I went through the most traumatic 6 hours of my life, speeches from those good ol' Chinese officials. Uh... Half of the people in the room were snoring. Evan sat like 10 rows behind me so it was extremely boring! ARG!

That night we went out and tried some random Beijing local snacks. Some were OK, some were disgusting like lamb intestines and stuff.

Then the next day I did a whole day interview with photo shoot in this super cool glass-walled restaurant. At night it turns into a Salsa club! That photoshoot should look pretty cool, I'll post more photos once I got the photos :)

This is how their menu looks like...

They serve fusion kinda food. When restaurants say they're fusion, I'll just take it as them not knowing what cuisine they wanna stick with ;)

This is our Beijing Team :)
Top row: Ben, Ben's wife, Laoxie's wife, Laoxie
Bottom row: Evan, Me, Xuhao, Liz

Laoxie was totally beaming with his wife that night. They smiled so much it was scary. I have never seen Laoxie so happy before muahahahaha!

Then I came back to Hong Kong for a few days for a radio show at FM881, with DJ Susie Wong 蘇絲黃.

Of course we got a pic of me with 蘇絲黃 hehe~

One more pic with 蘇絲黃's assistants, Wingie and Tarzan at the front door of CRHK FM881!

The day after the radio show, I flew right back to Beijing again for Phoenix TV! I was very lucky I was invited to be interviewed in the most popular talk show in China, "A Date With Luyu" (鲁豫有约).

This is Luyu. She's gorgeous in person ;)

Me chatting with her in the backstage. She's actually lived in Seattle before too! She speaks english perfectly BTW. Woot!

And of course a pic of me and LUYU!!!!! YAY!

At the backstage I also bumped into a famous anchorwoman from Shenzhen. Hottie Alert!

After the show, we hung out with the on-stage director Mao Mao and his girlfriend who is also a famous director in CCTV. I heard he has directed a few reality shows, kinda like MTV Real World Road Rules Challenges. I'd love to be in one of them~ Muahahahaha!

The bamboo stick is actually a container for a special bamboo-flavored alcoholic drink. It's super cute :)

Last but not least, a tea meeting with our business partner from the Chinese Youtube, 56.com. 

That episode of "A date with Luyu" had a theme of Chinese New Year. I prepared them some clips from Zorpians around the world saying new year greetings. Here are some of the clips from our infamous Mike and Dee ;)

Happy New Year!
