Decorations at Pavilion

When it came to festivities, Pavilion was always tops with the decorations. This Hari Raya, it was no exception. The theme was not very clear, but I saw many stars about. And of course some pelita - the traditional Malay lantern.

The decorations started from the Bukit Bintang entrace, leading straight to main lobby. There were stalls there as usual, with a small stage for shows.

I was there on a Sunday, and the place was packed! Luckily I parked at Low Yat - having been doing some shopping there before walking across as the weather was nice. I also get o try my new wode-angle zoom for the CL - a Super-Vario-Elmar.

Apart from the decorations, there were not much happening then. I did not hang around for too long as I had to do more shopping after.

Reindeer Aplenty

For this year, the theme at BSC was reindeer. But this wasn't any ordinary reindeer. These were girl reindeers. With heels!

I thought those creatures looked too tall when I first theme, and hen looking back from a distance it struck me, they were all females. One of them wearing a tutu. Not sure what that meant! Female power maybe.

But as usual, their Xmas decorations here were pretty creative and amazing. Shame that space was at a premium, hence it wasn't easy to manoeuvre around the lobby where the decorations were. They also spilt over to the sides, making the already narrow walkway even smaller.

Like last year, the view was much better from the upper floor, and certainly there were plenty of details to be spotted. Kudos for the effort ....

Smells Like Xmas

It was still 40 days away from Xmas, but Malaysian loved their festivities and mall decorations. I had an unexpected free afternoon yesterday, and after the morning rounds, set out towards Bukit Bintang camera in hand.

Pavilion had this tradition of elaborate decorations, especially for Xmas. This year was a bit more toned down, but extravagant none the less. I wasn't clear about the theme yet. It wasn't very obvious. There was a huge carriage in then middle of the main foyer. For the kids, there was also a small train on rails which went around in circle. The children would love it. My boys might be a bit too big for that though.

I walked further towards Fahrenheit. The were celebrating Doraemon's 100 birthday. Nothing fancy there as yet.

Come December, most of the other malls would catch up and start erecting their displays. I would be taking my cameras doing the rounds of course ....
