Happy Chinese New Year!

I’m stuck here on this cold and wet early evening in Shanghai and just wanted to wish you all a Happy Belated Chinese New Year!  It’s my first time spending CNY in China itself so it’s been quite an experience with all the empty city streets (This period is the world’s largest migration each year where the city dwellers return to their respective home to visit their family and relatives) and successive festive nights of fireworks and firecrackers.

Speaking of “first times,” I even had the special opportunity to perform with a number of celebrity hosts for a Chinese New Year special a few night ago (that’s me on the far left with the red top)…

After spending a few sessions getting our dance moves down before, it was time to perform for all of China on the highest-rated satellite channel,Dragon TV…

Once we were done with our retro dance moves, it was time to put on the black tux and croon Josh Groban’s “You Raise Me Up” with my duet partner Bai Xu Xu…

All in all, it was a fun time and a great opportunity to meet more of China’s talented stars.  With my first official into the world of singing and dancing, I know I won’t forget this first time celebrating Chinese New Year in China!

Have an Amazing New Year Ahead and Ride the Water Dragon!!!
