That Photogenic Mall

There was something about the old "Mall" - now renamed Sunway Putra Mall that caught my eye. It was the lighting. How the sunlight entered the roof and bathed the lobby.

Last weekend, Anita and I went there after my Sunday Morning ward round to have some lunch. After the meal, I decided to have a walk. There were many new shops opening - more than the last time we went there. But the main thing was still the lobby. Not too spacious but the light really made the difference.

Definitely would be going there more often.

The Force at Mid Valley

Another two weeks before the release of all release coming to the cinema for the year. Star Wars would be back and at the moment the adverts were everywhere. Some clever, some tacky but it seemed to be a celebration coming. Just hope that the movie would not disappoint.

Mid Valley Megamall hosted a life-sized X-Wing at one of the side foyer. It cost money to enter and snap pictures at but the buzz was certainly. There was hardly a queue when I visited since it was mid week right after work. I could imagine that the line would be long at weekends.

Well. Two more weeks and counting...

End of the Road?

Since the closing of Bukit Bintang Plaza, its sister Sungai Wang Plaza seemed to have aged considerably. It was slowly turning into a dump unfortunately. Certainly it had not aged gracefully.

When I was there yesterday, quite a number of the business had closed. Some of them had moved across to Berjaya Time Square just along the road. Some of them had packed up while most of the IT vendors had moved to Low Yat next door.

It was a Sunday and usually the place was the buzz capital of townApparently the main foyer was occupied by a K-pop dance event. It was already done.In the past years, there were still plenty of vendors selling phones at the main foyer and walkway. It uses to be multiple floors of them. Yesterday, it was down to just a single floor. And even then, you can't get the really up to date gadget any longer.

This was one of the earliest "Famous Amos" store in the country. And still serve the best cookies.But it was depressing to look around everywhere ....I was convinced that its days are numbered. Maybe once the MRT station operational the situation might improve but at the rate it was going things were. It looking too good. The whole of the third floor was practically empty. I didn't even bother going up to the loft where there used to be a big eating area.

Time had certainly moved on ....

That Magic Spot

I had some down time this afternoon. So, I took Anita to do her shopping and spent some time at my favourite spot. Specifically it was the Starbucks at Bangsar Village.

Latte time .... while going through some stuffAnita was done with her shoppingI made plenty of important decisions there along the years. Decided against doing my PhD. Decision about leaving UM for private practice. Nothing profound there today. Just a quick cup of coffee and enjoying watching people passing by while preparing for a couple of upcoming talks I have by the end of the month.
