Blooming Mid Valley

I was with Anita earlier this afternoon accompanying her to do a bit of shopping. I don't normally like going to Mid Valley on Friday as the place was usually crowded at the time. But Anita had something to do there. So, i accompanied her while spending most of the time at a cafe.

After leaving her, I went to the main lobby and guess what I found?

Apparently there was some celebration for the spring season going on. The foyer were filled with bloom although most of them wasn't really real flowers. But the colours were fantastic.

I spend some time having a look around before settling down at a cafe. But that didn't last long. Apparently there was an IT Fair going on at the Exhibition Centre. More on that later...

Mid Valley Raya Decor

I was actually expecting more from Mid Valley. I remembered their spectacular Raya decors of yesteryears. Their amazing Chinese New Year effort, as well as Christmas. I went to Mid Valley this morning, armed with my camera with high hopes.

I parked at Gardens, and made my way across via the Lower Ground Floor walkway. At the middle area, where the corridors met, were filled with stalls selling mooncakes. It was nice and colourful, and so I ventured forth to the main foyer. And what did I see?

A lame effort to turn the central gallery into some sort of an Arab Market. It was basically a collection of stalls - around a dozen of them - selling cookies and clothes. The kind of things that you can easily pick up at bazaars. And the collection the sold there was not really that exclusive either. At least not as exclusive as Bangsar Village. Right at the centre is a small island with date trees - supposedly. Err .... That was about it.

Told you that the mooncake stalls were much more interestingThere was a small stage - it being morning I wasn't expecting a show or anything - tucked on one side. I can't see much attraction there at all. They ought to put more effort I guess. I actually enjoyed the spectacles at the mooncake stalls more than the Raya decor. Thumbs down, most definitely.
