Christmas Decorations at Shopping Malls
This year, we did not get to visit many shopping malls in the Klang Valley to check out their Christmas decorations. We only managed to check out the Christmas decorations at The Curve, Sunway Pyramid and Mid Valley. Actually we saw 1 Utama’s Christmas decor too but let’s just say we were not impressed. THE CURVE We were impressed with the flying reindeers and Santa on a sleigh at The Curve. The Christmas decorations at […]

Giant Christmas Snow Globe @ Main Place
Ethan attended a holiday programme somewhere nearby the Main Place, USJ today. Ayden and I hung around the mall while waiting for him. It was our first time here. The Christmas decor at the entrance of the Main Place. We walked inside and came across a giant snow globe. I asked the guy in charge of it and was told that entrance is complementary. I read that it can take in maximum 3 persons at […]

Christmas Decorations: 1 Utama
We were at 1 Utama last weekend to check out their Christmas decor. I don’t get it at first. All I see are giant poinsettia flowers. And then this huge albino spider appeared in front of me, scaring the heck out of me *almost dropped my camera* I was thinking, “What does spiders got to do with Christmas?!” I bet they are going to keep those spiders after Christmas and spray paint them black come […]

The Curve Christmas Decoration 2016
My favourite time of the year is here where I’ll happily go mall hopping to check out their Christmas decor. I skipped mall hopping last year as we were quite busy but this year I hope to be able to check out several of my regular hang-out malls. One of the first mall in PJ to get their Christmas decor up this year is The Curve. They build a lovely castle in the middle of […]

Christmas Decor 2015: Berjaya Times Square
It’s so close to Christmas! So many things to do with so little time! The next mall I’m featuring in my Christmas Decor 2015 series is Berjaya Times Square. Quite a lovely piece of decor in this corner. Berjaya Times Square’s 2015 decor. I think they reuse last year’s record breaking Christmas tree and added lots and lots of snowflakes around it. Berjaya Times Square’s 2014 decor. What do you think?

Christmas Decor 2015: 1 Utama
1 Utama’s Christmas decor this year definitely fares better than their shockingly horrible 2D attempt last year. You may want to check out last year’s decor here -> 1 Utama’s 2014 Christmas decor Themed Evergreen Christmas Garden, the LG Oval Concourse is transformed into urm.. a garden? Well I dont see that many plants to make this an evergreen garden but they do have a glasshouse. Actually the Secret Garden on their rooftop is much […]

Playing music at the Grand Musical Staircase, Berjaya Times Square
I don’t frequent the city centre often but today we dropped by Berjaya Times Square to run an errant. I’ve read somewhere that they have a grand musical staircase but the last I was there last year, I could not find it. Maybe I did not look thoroughly. Today, we found it by chance. I was walking nearby when I heard a beautiful melody and when I looked up, I saw this: The Grand Musical […]

Christmas Decor 2015: Pavilion KL
Our first stop for this year’s Christmas decor hunt is Pavilion. It was still work in progress when we were there last weekend. I was at Starhill to get my hair done so I thought why not hop over to have a look at Pavilion’s decor. The outdoor decor. I believe it will be magnificent once it is lighted up come night time. The boys are attracted to these bears. It’s a mechanical Santa, Bunny […]

Christmas Decor: Suria KLCC
I am surprised that KLCC did a great job with their Christmas decor this year. If every year they only put out giant Christmas trees, this year they have giant rocking horse and more. Quite a lovely sight at KLCC. Beautiful Christmas tree with toy soldiers, gift boxes, rocking horse and everything Christmasy. The giant rocking horse. Santa looks weird though. Haha. Overall this year’s decor is one of their better ones. Now let’s take […]

Christmas Decor: 1 Utama Shopping Centre
My jaw dropped to the ground when I saw One Utama’s Christmas decor this year. Themed “A Rustic Woodland Christmas – Love & Joy” I was just speechless. Maybe I can share some pictures and you tell me what you see. Board animals. More animals from boards. And then I saw their Christmas tree and I just can’t take it any more. I left. I think it is better to check out other mall’s decor. Let’s […]

Christmas Decor: The Curve
Our next stop for the Christmas decor hunt is at The Curve and I must say that they did a great job this year. The beautiful outdoor giant Christmas tree by the water fountain between The Curve and e@Curve. I love this! Once inside the Curve, this beautiful sight greeted us. With reindeers, sleigh and all. A slim snowman and its reindeers :D More reindeers. Also, check out Sunway Pyramid’s Christmas decor here. Sunway Pyramid’s Christmas […]

Christmas Decor: Mid Valley Magical Land
Mid Valley Megamall has transformed into a magical land this Christmas. We were there for dinner today and quickly took a couple of minutes to snap some pictures. Mid Valley’s magical land as seen from Level 2. The Magical Land Ethan asked me if those are bears or fox behind them. Urm… Come to think about it, I am unsure myself! Giant flowers and toadstools everywhere. I like this garden. Reminds me of Honey I Shrunk […]

One Utama’s Christmas Decor
What’s wrong with me? This is my second home yet I have not blogged about their Christmas decor. I’m sorry. Sometimes we take for granted things that are close to us >_< So it’s all about rocking horses and hot air balloons this year. Up, up and away! Though I love their decor, I don’t seem to get the FEEL of Christmas … Flying rocking horse. Rocking horses took over reindeers! I wonder what those […]

Christmas decorations at The Curve
It’s the most wonderful time of the year and just like previous years, I’ll go mall hopping looking for the best Christmas decor in town. The Christmas decorations in the malls in the Klang Valley are mostly mediocre this year. Nothing to make you gasping, “WOW”! Anyway, here’s the decor at the Curve. Kids will love the gigantic candies on the Christmas trees and the colourful buildings. The Curve’s most wonderful time of the year… […]

Faerie Dreams Christmas at Sunway Pyramid
We were at Sunway Pyramid last weekend to check out their Faerie Dreams Christmas decor. Cute or not? LoL! He ain’t heavy, he’s my sleepy brother.

Christmas decoration: KLCC
We dropped by KLCC for lunch today. It was jam packed! Thank goodness we managed to find a parking spot. I took this golden opportunity to photograph their cute Christmas decor. I must say the decor in KLCC this year is pretty impressive! They used to be so dull in previous years but this year, everything is so cheerful and lively. Cute elves are everywhere! Love this Santa’s workshop. Ethan loves it too :) But […]

Christmas lights in Sunway
Remember my post here saying that I’m unimpressed with the Christmas street lighting of Orchard Road, Singapore? Well, that is because we have a much more colorful street lighting in Sunway! Every year without fail we’ll take a leisurely stroll along the cheerful and brightly lit Sunway street. This year is no exception. Love this Christmas tree. It’s quite hard to photograph this tree as people kept surrounding it for pictures too. Can you see […]

Christmas Decoration : The Curve
We finally landed to the place nearest to us, The Curve! That’s always the case isn’t it? So near yet so far :P Their fairyland Christmas is lovely. I won’t feel that it’s Christmas if not for the Christmas trees though. It just feels like you are in one beautiful secret garden. Soothing to the eyes… This is what makes is so Christmasy. Lost in a jungle of Smurfs :P Christmas garden at The Curve.

Christmas Decoration: One Utama’s Pastryland
It’s all about getting FAT and SUGAR HIGH in 1 Utama this Christmas! Fresh from the oven, we are dwarfed by the gigantic pastries and sorts. I didn’t get last year’s Underwater theme. I just don’t see the connection then. I don’t get this year’s extremely unhealthy theme neither. But for what is worth, they do look cute lah. Snowman yes, very Christmasy indeed. But gigantic biscuits? Raindrops falling on my head… Now we know […]

Christmas Decoration: Pavilion KL’s Golden Carriage
We dropped by Pavilion last Saturday and saw this beautiful red reindeers with golden carriage outside. When it comes to Christmas, I always look forward to the Christmas decorations in Sunway Pyramid (specially love the street decor), 1 Utama and Pavilion’s. I would not miss these three malls for anything! This year, Golden Carriage is the theme in Pavilion. The Golden Carriage stood out magnificently from afar. Closer look at the golden carriage. Closer… Beautiful […]

DIY : Christmas Wreath
This Christmas, let’s not splurge on Christmas decor but DIY them instead. I was at The Speakeasy Restaurant & Bar and saw this beautiful Christmas Wreath.

Romance Novels Cut leaves, 100s and 100s and 100s of leaves. Scrunch them up. Make them really crumpled. […]

Christmas at Berjaya Times Square KL
Today is a state holiday for the folks in Selangor. Darling needed to go to KL to meet a client so Ethan and I took this opportunity to tag along. Almost regretted though as it took us almost 2 hours to arrive KL due to the massive jam! I can balik kampung dy oh with that given time! But it’s okay, since Darling desperately needed to meet his client, we persevered and made it to […]

Christmas at Mid Valley Megamall
It was a surprise that Darling brought Ethan and I to Mid Valley Megamall today. We don’t usually go to Mid Valley due to the jam and lack of parking but since he happens to pass by Mid Valley on the way to see a client today, he decides to drop us there :D First thing I did was to go buy a couple of movie tickets. After getting our tickets, we decided to check […]

Christmas at Tropicana City Mall
While it is a norm for me to go from one mall to another to capture the magnificent decorations of the magical Christmas every year, it is NOT always that I encountered such effing stupid Guards in a Shopping Mall! Pardon my language but I am really pissed at what happened today. I was in Tropicana City Mall to catch a movie. The Muppets to be exact. On my way to meet a friend to […]

DIY : Christmas Tree Ornament
I love to go Christmas decor hunting come December as they are usually very beautiful. But for my own Christmas tree, I like to make my own ornaments. The satisfaction of seeing my handmade ornaments decorating my tree is simply priceless. I was in IKEA the other day and I saw this beautiful Dove. It seems easy enough to make so I tried it with the kids today in the studio. I drew the bird […]

The Christmas tree in Crafty-Crafted Studio
It’s that time of the year again to let the Christmas tree out of the closet and blow the dust off the box full of ornaments. This time around, I did NOTHING!
