CNY at Suria

The central foyer was packed with decorations. The main stage already taken up half the space while the stalls made walking around rather tricky especially when tourists with selfie sticks came into the equation.

Entering from the fountain

Plenty to see. A kind of mini-BTS type of decorations. A bit of everything but not amounting to much. The area by the big fountain - as customary - had a big tower erected. Hampered by the fact that this would be the Year of the Dog, the mall couldn't erect anything with canine features - for political correctness and reflecting our collective social immaturity really.

The stalls were pretty standard as well. Some jewellery, perfumes, cookies and clothes. They could do without those pop-up stalls actually. Maybe the income from it is inputs rant for the mall.

Quite festive with the loud music and all that. But I couldn't hang around for long. There were plenty needed to be done for the rest of the outing ...

More Cock

I had a good Sunday starting from the breakfast at PULP. By 10.30 we were already at KL Convention Centre where a home improvement exhibition was going on. Anita got a great deal on a new fridge and she got further discount for the final day of the exhibition. It would be delivered to us before the end of the week.

I then went to the Mac shop to sort out my dongle issue with the new MacBook. And by the time I was done, it was still before noon. Time to take a walk. So, off I went from Suria onto the link bridge to Pavilion. And there, I saw that the decorations for CNY was complete! All the cocks were out! The roosters were flying around indeed!

After that was done, it was time for lunch at back I walked to Suria to join Anita. Disappointingly we were not able to get a frisbee for Idlan to practice - he wanted to try “ultimate frisbee” in school. When we finally reached home, it wasn’t even 3 pm yet. Anita then took to clear the store as more renovations were planned for tomorrow. A team was coming to sort out the wall panelling and cabinets for us .... More knocking.

The boys would be in school tomorrow, and I was still on holiday, I would drive Idlan in. He would enjoy that I would be sure ...

The Pavilion Decorations

I would write about this a bit more on another entry, but suffice to say that the decorations was functional and straight forward. There were no stalls and at one end, there was a stage which I was sure would host some dances at times. 

The place was crowded mainly with Filipino maids which I was sure on their Sunday outing. They were snapping away whicle the locals were going about teir shopping. For a Sunday, I was expecting the crowd to be bigger, and this is despite Raya only 10 days away. I guess people don't come to Pavilion for their Raya shopping then.

I also tried to dabble on a bit of video taking, but upon post-processing, I found the video to be rather wobbly and grainy. Not as sharp as I would have hoped for, but it was in VR mode. 

Faeries at BSC

The Xmas decorations went full swing at BSC, and as usual the main foyer at the new wing was transformed - usually into decorated stalls. They pulled it off again this year, and the theme from the looks of things were faeries. They were everywhere, although it was called it Elfland. No, I could not spot any Elves. So can't my boys.

The stalls there sold candles and other festive items. Far too expensive for us to browse to be quite honest. But the ambiance was contagious.

There was a small stage by the fountain for shows, but they were mainly during weekends. I was sure Santa would be there.

We were there for early dinner since I was on call the evening before, and Anita had to do a bit of groceries. We had our meal at Chinoz. Still early and the place was still empty.

Then came the shopping and the boys went wild. Idlan even asked for some macaroons as he could not resist the ones flown in from Belgium. We baught a couple and he finished them straight away as soon as he reached home. Very tasty he said. But I don't think that I could afford many more ....

More Photos from Pavilion

I thought I might as well add more from the current photos I have taken from Pavilion the other day.

I could have chilled out a bit longer but unfortunately it had been very busy lately workwise. I do have some personal leave coming up on the second week of December. Planning to go to Fraser's Hill again. I am sure there would be plenty of photos then .....
