CNY at Pavilion

It was almost a tradition. At least for me. I would have to check out the decorations at Pavilion every time Chinese New Year festivities came. Who could forget the four-storie dragon adorning the main foyer from a few years back?

This year, being the year of the horse, the celebration was less grand. But as decorations go, it was pretty elaborate at Pavilion.

Since they were still in the process of turning around the Xmas decor, the main foyer were still closed. They seemed to have retained the ride from the Xmas decorations, which made perfect sense actually. They had lantern sprouting down entrance as well as around the famous lotus fountain.

I actually went to Pavilion that afternoon to have a look around. Luckily I brought my camera with me and managed to snap away. Might as well, as I wasn't sure if in could return before the CNY festivities end.

Overnight in Bangsar

I had to attend a meeting on Saturday afternoon while my boys were occupied at home doing revision for their Al Manaar exam next week. I could see that they were bored. I then suggested that we pack up and spend the evening at the apartment. Just to chill out if nothing else.

Everybody was happy.

So, right after the meetings, we drove to Bangsar, first for dinner and then to apartment with the boys already in their pyjamas.

We just sat in front of the TV - Battleship was on I thought - while flipping to check the football score. It must be about 2 in the morning when we finally slept.

We could do with that from time to time actually. Quite enjoyed it. And I only had a 10 minute drive for my Sunday Morning ward round this morning. And I was in a good mood ....

Xmas Coming

While walking around Gardens Mid valley earlier on, I noticed that few of the shops had already started to put up their Xmas decor. Before long, I was sure that the malls would start to display their decorations too.

Something to look forward to. And the decorations also reminded me of my travel to Atlanta last year. It was at the height of the Xmas shopping season. Plenty of shoppers were about, as well as great bargains to be had .....

Deepavali at Pavilion

After attending the wedding this afternoon, I had a few hours of free time to venture into town. I also had some bills to settle as well as banking in some cheques. Anita had her hands full with the boys and their revision, so I went out alone.

As usual, I parked at KLCC and walked across the bridge towards Pavilion and onwards towards Bukit Bintang and Low Yat.

Weather today was warm but not sunny. Traffic was also lighter than expected, the mall was also less packed but the colours were definitely there with Deepavali next weekend.

The main foyer at Pavilion was not transformed for the festivities - but I was sure it would soon for Xmas. The entrance though had some pretty decorations.

Quite enjoyed the walk to wards Fahrenheit. I though I snap a few photos at the main entrance for keeps.

Butterflies at Gardens

Anita had to buy some food for my boys to eat after school and coming from the apartment, we decided to stop by Mid Valley. The Gardens had some cute decorations up - not for Raya mind.

Not sure about the theme, but there were plenty of butterflies around. Not real ones, but all decorations. Colourful. Not sure what they would change for their Raya theme. So far, didn't see any signs of that yet.
