On to Fahrenheit

Right after my stop at Pavilion, I continued my walk towards Fahrenheit. They made some effort for Xmas decorations as well, and they weren't half bad.

Space appeared to be at a premium for them to compare to Pavilion, but they seemed to be putting in a better effort than say, Sungai Wang Plaza.

There were some elves walking around as well, but they appeared to be rushing somewhere. There must've been some show scheduled for later that afternoon.

Great job none the less ...

Pavilion Xmas 2013

I think Pavilion had upped their game this time again. After a couple of lame showings on the instore decorations department, this year's Xmas effort left me impressed.

Last weekend, I made my monthly walk around Bukit Bintang to settle bills, run errands and just a general walkabout. I parked my car at KLCC and walked across the bridge towards Pavilion. There was not much going on at Suria at the time, but it soon changed the moment I entered Pavilion.

There was a small fanfare feeling to the main foyer. There was the customary Santa sled and Xmas tree. There was also a merry-go-rounds and a special stage. And it didn't stop there.

There was another tree by the main entrance from Bukit Bintang. The famous fountain also had some decorations put up in the surrounding area. It was a shame that there were too much construction going around the area, making the walk seemed less festive.

As for the mascot, one could be easily confuse it with Doraemon.

I continue my walk towards Bukit Bintang with a quick stop at Fahrenheit 88. There were decorations there as well. More on that later ...

4G FTW!

Not sure what had happened over the weekend, but my Nexus 7 - which was recently updates to Kit Kat - had been registering 4G connection on Celcom. I had to upgrade my SIM on the iPhone for LTE connection, but I didn't bother doing anything for the Nexus tablet.

It had only started doing so from this morning. So, I assumed that there had been an upgrade over the weekend. I wasn't complaining. It was just that I was pleasantly surprised. And yes, the connection was about 20 Mbit - which was slower than Maxis at SJMC - but it was noticeably faster.

No Celcom LTE yet at Taman Setia, so I had to make do with HSDPA and WiFi at home. Fast enough but could be slow at times inside my bedroom.

At work, although there were WiFi available for staff members, speed could be found wanting during peak clinic hours. The LTE was definitely welcomed to do quick browsing in between my clinic patients.

Frozen Out

Not done with a long day with the kenduri, we went out for a late nighter. Watching Frozen at Signature and returning home well after midnight. A first outing watching a movie on 3D. Quite impressive.

Sad to report that I slept through the middle third of the movie. I just couldn't stay awake. In between I could hear the gasp from the boys, while munching on their fries and popcorn.

The theatre was just too comfortable ...

Will blog about the movie later. But the initial verdict was Idlan enjoyed the 3D more than Irfan. I think it had something to do with the fact that the 3D glasses didn't fit Irfan terribly well. It was a touch too big for him despite using a children size. I also had some issues since I was wearing my usual glasses underneath.

The effect was amazing though ...

I was suffering from it this morning, having to wake up as usual for work with not enough sleep ..... Sipping on my coffee when I started this entry.

Post Kenduri

The havoc has passed, and everyone had left. We had just dismantled the awning and moved the furniture back in place. The boys were still paying and Irfan especially had been asking when we would be back to Gombak. He wanted to watch Frozen the movie. Not tonight. Manchester United playing at 8 tonight.

Great that the maids helped us out with the washing and cleaning. We did the lifting and transporting the tables to surau and back.

I have selected the leftover to bring back home. That would be our dinner tonight. Too tired to go out to buy tandoori for the match, so you could blame me if United didn't win tonight.

Julia and her family just returned from their trip to Legoland and Sentosa. Looked like they had a great time. Don't think I could convince Anita to go since it involved rollercoaster rides.
