CNY 2011 Decorations @ Pavilion, KL

A belated post just for my own record and rememberance!

On the 4th day of the Lunar Year of the Rabbit, I specially requested my beloved hubby, John, to drive me to The Pavilion just to have a quick look at the Chinese New Year (CNY) decorations which are usually very elaborately done and eye-catchy. Fact is, both of us simply love to patronize shopping malls like the Pavilion in Kuala Lumpur and elsewhere just to enjoy the festive decorations during the season of Christmas and CNY.

These were the shots I captured as I made a quick dash to the Pavilion's entrance while my beloved parked the car somewhere nearby at a no-parking zone, waiting to take off should any traffic policeman appear suddenly.

At Pavilion Kuala Lumpur (Bukit Bintang entrance) - big fat bunnies
(symbolizing the Lunar Year of the Rabbit) greeting visitors/shoppers
 and lovely arches with decorative pink plum blossoms and red lanterns,
symbol of prosperity in Chinese culture

At Pavilion Kuala Lumpur (Bukit Bintang entrance), approaching the lobby -
a gigantic lion head display with huge drums beckoning visitors/shoppers
to beat them for good wealth and prosperity

Huge decorative red plum blossom trees, laden with brilliant red lanterns
are placed along the sidewalks outside the Pavilion Shopping Mall, Kuala Lumpur

Normally, we can spend hours just walking around, do some shopping if necessary and of course savour some food in-between. This is something that both of us miss doing ever since John's aged 87-year-old mom came to stay with us. This is definitely not her cup of tea. She's somewhat home-bound, preferring to sit or lie down most times and can't walk well for too long or if distance is too far. Hence, we have to rush home as it's not safe to leave her alone for too long a period.

Well, these are little sacrifices we have to make for our loved ones.
