Christmas Decoration @ Berjaya Times Square

The larger than life Christmas tree pretty much dominated the centre concourse of Berjaya Times Square this year.

 

 

Kiosks were set up surrounding the giant tree with cartoon toys as their theme.

 

Frankly, what they had last year is much grander than this. There isn't anything unique the decoration kind of lack of creativity of some sort.

Christmas Decoration @ 1 Utama

I felt like something was out of sort when I stepped into 1 Utama this year as the innovative shopping centre takes on an underwater theme for its festive decorations.

 

The concept really deviates from the usual Christmas decorations I came across in almost other malls in KL and Selangor. Here it is all decked out in a dazzling underwater odyssey theme.

 

Giant clams line the Oval Concourse and the old wing, doubling as retail kiosks selling Christmas merchandise. The shells are coated in silver with glittering gold dust with "water" bubbles made up of Christmas baubles

 

Organza wrapped around the shells resembles seaweed while fairy lights lend magic to the sea world realm.

 

 

The idea to create Christmas winter waterland seems to delight and intrigue both adults and children.

Christmas Decoration @ Pavilion KL

One will be mesmerized by its vision of  a wonderland when step into Pavilion KL with lush, rich, wonderful and opulent and larger than life.

 

There is a larger than life giant cake, a magical carousel and a magnificent 40 foot Tiffany & Co Christmas tree.

 

 

 

These are perfect photo opportunities for shoppers looking for the perfect season's greeting shot since the Christmas decorations were put up can attest this.

Children and adults will love a ride on the carousel and the candy land atmosphere is one to be enjoyed by all.

 

This poster had been used widely in local newspapers (which was shot at the carousel here) to promote the Christmas Wonderland in Pavilion. I kind of like the model in this poster. I think she is really beautiful.

 

 

Christmas atmosphere is almost everywhere inside the mall. Pavilion KL as usual lived up to the expectation when it comes to Christmas decoration.

Christmas Decoration @ fahrenheit88

fahrenheit88 is enveloped in a lush sea of green as the mall is decorated from the main entrance with light curtains, blossoming poinsettia gardens, conifers adorned with twinkling lights, reindeers, giant trinkets and 5 units of 6.1m Christmas tree wrapped with garlands in a delightful mixture of red, gold and silver.

Shoppers will be greeted by the wonderful sight of life sized reindeers pulling Santa's sleigh.

The sleigh is a perfect spot to capture the Christmas celebration as shoppers can expect to see Santa and Santarinas appearing at weekends.

 

 

Moving along into the atrium, a magnificent 9m gazebo takes centre stage, draped with ferns romantic chandeliers, fanciful bird cages and lush red poinsettias to create a cozy setting for a traditional Christmas.

 

 

The decoration this year is much better compare to last year and definitely one of the best around KL malls.

United Buddy Bears @ Pavilion KL

The United Buddy Bears are an international art exhibition with more than 140 two meter tall fiberglass bears.

Its global tour has just reached Malaysia and is currently on display at Pavilion KL until 15 February 2012.

Under the motto: We have to get to know each other better, it makes us understand one another better, trust each other and live together more peacefully.

 

Under this motto, the United Buddy Bears promote living together in peace and harmony on their global tour. About 143 Buddy Bears represent as many countries recognised by the UN. Since the first exhibition in Berlin in 2002, more than 25 million visitors world wide have been able to admire the United Buddy Bears.

 

 

 

The Buddy Bears stand together "hand in hand", symbolising the future vision of a peaceful world. Each bear stands for the people of the different countries and their culture, yet not for political system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Each Buddy Bears shows the individual design created by different artists on behalf of their native countries. The international artists' different styles are joined together in one work of art, spreading zest of life. The diverse design of the Buddy Bears-always typical for the respective countries-enables the visitors to experience a journey around the globe.

The bears are set up in alphabetical order. It is a good way  to explore and learn about the culture, history, landscape, economy and music of each individual countries.

For the record, this is the Buddy Bears from Malaysia which can be found somewhere around the water fountain. Inspired by Malaysia's rich culture, the brightly coloured bear has elements of the main races, culture, flora and fauna as well as famous landmarks. The Malaysia Bear was designed and painted by Malaysian artist, Imuda.
