That Giant Ketupat

Suria KLCC had always use the area just by the fountain entrance to erect monuments. It ranged from Xmas tree to giant lantern for Chinese New Year. This time around for Aidilfitri, it was almost the same as last year, a giant ketupat!

Not exactly original but there you have it.

At the central foyer, there had a stage and a stalls, all around an old kampung house. There was a traditional troupe playing when I visited, popular with the tourist.

As usual, we are obsessed with building tall structures and breaking records. The tall ketupat was recorded as the tallest ever built in Malaysia, with a sign proclaiming so ...

A Quick Outing

I had a free evening after berbuka last Wednesday and Anita asked if I could drive her to KLCC since she had something to pick up there. I had not been to KLCC since the beginning of Ramadhan, so I thought why not.

It gave me the chance to have a look at the decorations as well.

Looking down from the upper floorThose aren't real fire. They were small LED bulbs underneath twirling paper leaves. Clever idea!Unfortunately you were not allowed to get near the house!And I saw plenty of durians. Maybe it was part of the theme?And some old bicycles .... supposed to make us feel like at a kampungAbout as close as we could getAgain, they had a giant erection by the fountain. This time it was a mega-huge ketupat! Creative? Not so sure about that.

At the main concourse, there was a replica of a Malay house. No activities when we were there but I noticed a stage in front of it. I was sure there would be some shows during the days and weekends. As usual, there were stalls - selling expensive clothes and cookies by the side.

Somehow it didn't feel original.... even the lantern looked like it has been used before

Nothing special. Anita got her shopping and we were off.
