Car Race

KL was abuzz with activities and events related to F1 Grand Prix race during the last 2 weeks. There were fashion show, gala dinner, international celebrity presence (Kimora Lee Simmons & Teri Hatcher were in town!!), international concerts, GP sales everywhere ~ wow, it's mind-blowing!!!  Or burning holes in one's pocket was more like it!

I caught this photo of F1 race car on display at MidValley Megamall.

Lunch at Madras Lane

We have many delicious food sold at hawker centre.  This is one of the famous hawker centre in the heart of KL's Chinatown.  It is known as Madras Lane.  Madras Lane got its name from the Madras Cinema that used to be located nearby.  After movies, movie-goers will head to the hawker centre for curry mee, yong tou foo instead of what we have these days, e.g. pop corn & Coke.

Seen here are 2 ladies enjoying Yong Tou Foo (minced fish paste stuffed into tofu, brinjal, bitter gourd, tofu skin & deep-fried) for their lunch at Madras Lane's hawker center.

Happiness Begins from the Famiily

Chinese New Year will be celebrated on this Sunday, 10th Feb, 2013.  I am posting today's photo that I took at Mid Valley Megamall today.  The word fu (福)as seen in the red decorative pieces means 'prosperity'.  However, I have added 家好人好百事好 to the photo.  These words carry the meaning that when all is fine in a family, one will be fine and so will all other matters in one's life.  In another word, happiness in life begins from the family. I think this is more important than any money and cents can bring us.

Wishing everyone a happy moment with your family. May you have a blessed Year of Snake!!
I am looking forward to going home to Melaka tomorrow night for the Chinese New Year celebration with my family. To all who celebrates Chinese New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai & Xin Nian Kuai Le!

Bright Night

If you are ever in Klang Valley and want to find a place to hang out for food & drink, you can head over to The Curve.  This is the F&B street and it looks amazing in the evening when all the lights go up, the band started performing & you will also be entertained by a brass band that performed nightly at 8pm.

This is the Chinese New Year decoration for this F&B street.  Do you have similar place in your city where you like to go to hang out for food or drink with friends?

Chinese Zodiac Signs & Prediction

These are the scenes taken at the entrance of Pavillion Mall today.  The 12 animals in Chinese zodiac sign were featured for this year's decoration.  Chinese New Year is only 10 days away. The city traffic is very hectic and so was the mall.  Shoppers are expected to be doing their last minute shopping for the celebration.

With photos, you can only view.  But with video, you also get to listen to the surrounding sound.  I have enclosed a video taken at the scene where the above photos were captured. You will hear Chinese New Year song being played in the background and sounds of people around there.  A very festive mood. In addition, you get to read the prediction for the Year of Snake for each zodiac sign.
