Pumpkin Invasion

You can tell that Halloween was around the corner when there pumpkins aplenty when you walk around Bangsar Village.

There had been around for the last couple of weeks and we were about 10 days away from the end of the month. Maybe they had extra stocks this year ...

Halloween at BSC

It was that time of the year again and certainly around Bangsar, there were plenty of expats family playing along with the celebration.

It was all in great fun although there were parties who took themselves too seriously at times and went on to ben this kind of thing. It was up to them, but certainly quite interesting to browse around at BSC ….

Wayang Kulit at Bangsar Village

It was Halloween. Saturday it was and I spent the afternoon with Anita looking for some snacks in the afternoon. I was on call a couple of days earlier and I thought that it was a good way to unwind. There were plenty of kids and their parents roaming around Bangsar VIllage, looking for chocolates. Our boys were just not into that, they would rather stay at home.

"Hulubalang Empayar"While Anita was doing some groceries, something caught my eyes. There was a small exhibition going on, and I thought what was on show was somewhat different. It was "wayang kulit" or shadow dance, but with a twist! It was about Star Wars rather than your typical old legend like what was usually told by those puppets.

It was a great initiative and it would run for another week. The one which caught my eyes were on Princess Leia and the Stormtroopers. Not much of a narrative I was afraid. Maybe there would be a session when they would do all that. But I still thought it was well worth a visit.

Obi Wan vs Vader"Tuan Puteri Leia"

Venue? Ground Floor Bangsar Village. But it would not last for too long though ....

Chilling In

After a rather busy afternoon, the admission rather slowed down after I returned to apartment for a shower. So, I was caught in two minds. Should I go back to the hospital and hang around the lounge or just chill out at the apartment. With the breeze outside - it was raining heavily earlier in the evening - I felt just like killing time at the apartment rather.

The only problem was, I was rather starving. They were a few microwave dinner which Anita had stocked up in the fridge, but I felt like having so,etching different. How I would murder a bigger or two. McDonald's was just a five minute drive away, but I really couldn't be bothered.

Trick or Treat!

I was out and about at Great Eastern Mall with my boys attending their friend's birthday party at the Kiz Sports. The whole mall was changed into the ghoulish theme of Halloween.

Not to worry. No children were harmed in this event!That was just a mannequin howeverThe mall took the festivities seriously with group of kids dressed up in outfits going from shop to shop doing 'trick or treat'. They were so cute. There was also a competition at the main lobby for the best costume. I counted about 40 kids going around with the mall staff. The shops were all prepared to play along, complete with candies to give away.

The main foyer was transformedThe children walking around asking for treats, as I was sitting down enjoying my sushi.Not to mention some of the kids sing terrified looking at the 'walking deads'. A cute spectacle. Great fun all around. As for my kids, they were more interested with the playground. The missed out with all the fun.
