Today, I would like to post some photos of the CNY decorations in shopping malls in the Klang Valley. I have taken most of the photos from other blogs as their photos are of better quality compared to the ones I took using my SE C902. Do visit their blogs for more great looking photos!
Look at this decoration put up by 1Utama.

I didn't quite like it. Looks a little empty to me. The idea may be good, but I felt something is missing. What do you think?
The decorations at Berjaya Times Square look slightly better.

This bull outside Pavilion must have attracted a lot of attention!

I really think that the CNY decoration at The Curve this year was quite ridiculous!

Maybe they were trying to showcase the lotus flower, but to me, the whole thing just look horrible!
This is the decoration put up at KLCC. Those people at KLCC seem to like everything either tall or large. I still remember they have one of the tallest Christmas tree during Christmas last year. For this Chinese New Year, I think they have one of the largest lantern in KL.

But I like those huge gigantic lanterns! Really nice! Thumbs up for KLCC! : )
I can't quite make out what this decoration in Sunway Pyramid is all about. Can you?

I always feel that The Gardens have quite 'classy' decoration. I particularly liked their Christmas decorations last year. And for this Chinese New Year, they did not disappoint.

After looking at all those decorations put up by various shopping malls, I think the best must be at Mid Valley Megamall! Their numerous lanterns of all shapes and sizes really put me in the CNY mood. Don't you agree?

I like these angpow lanterns hanging from the ceilings of Subang Parade. Yes, they were made from angpows!

I didn't know you can buy those lanterns! According to The Star Online, you can actually buy them for RM100 a pair as a form of donation to charity organisations. I would have donated RM100 just to get those beautiful lanterns if I had read about this before CNY!
Look at these lanterns made entirely from angpows! Aren't they beautiful? I wonder who is that person who came out with these lanterns? He or she must be a creative genius!

Does anyone know where I can buy these angpow lanterns? Or at least teach me how to make them? I hope I will be able to display them for next year's Chinese New Year!
Can't remember who...but somebody went and took the photo of the bull's you-know-what!!! So naughty! LOL!!!...So nice, all those decor, but in a way, shops pay high rent - sell things at higher prices, so actually customers paying for all that!!!
Thanks for using my photos.
As for the angpao lantern, my wife did make a few. Come out quite nice ^-^
Of all the photos, I like the Garden's decoration
Chinese lanterns are evergreen don't you think? And the red is really pretty.
i love the bull! would be so cool taking a photograph with it! that is, after removing some of the flower so i can stand right beside it. :p we used to learn how to make those paper lanterns in school, but .. ok, the skill kinda got evaporated. XD
I must say the decoration is so grand, over here it is not as celebrative as in Msia :D
love the one in MV the most. yeah the curve one looked like total disaster. no theme at all!
Those lanterns are stunning!Actually it is all so exquisite and I would like to come there to see the decorations for Chinese New Year some day. Full of color and just beautiful!
i'm so sorry.. i was da one who deleted the above comment by ME.. coz got typo error in it..
thanx for using my pic.. it's my pleasure.. blogging is for sharing.. n i love ur blog!
can i add ur link?
didnt even enter any shopping centres during cny .... busy visiting friends' place
Hi there.. thanks for using my photo it's my pride.. :D
How come never put Sg. Wang's decoration there? Quite unique ma. :P
Gosh time is really flying so fast. It's almost March....
My favorite is the bull picture too!
If you have time, check out my post about a festival here in SG bu dont be scared, okay? ;)
Nice, was waiting for your CNY deco pics lol. The Midvalley deco was the best to me. The angpau lanterns, like you said, was the most creative. Whatever, beats the JB CNY decos I posted here and here. XD
Nice review! I didn't manage to visit the KL malls this year except for One Utama so thanks for summarizing for us. Well, except for Mid Valley's, I think I didn't miss much! :P
love the pics of CNY decorations
I like The Garden's decoration..so pinkish pink! :-D
WOW!! Thanks for all the pics, I certainly do not have the time to see all those...
Mid Valley Megamall shows a really beautiful decoration there! Wow that looks wonderful and detailed. Like it too!
Oh the ox is also cool.
didn't have da time to visit da malls during CNY... :(
and i do remember my teachers taught me how-to make lantern with angpaos. but but i forgot da steps :S
suituapui, really? I would like to see that photo. Haha! Yes, some of the decorations very expensive, I heard some shopping malls spent over RM1 million for the CNY decorations!
yenjai, thanks!! Wow! Your wife knows how to make the angpow lanterns? Can make one for me or not? : )
mei ting, oh you are now using your real name? No longer using my bug life? Yes, chinese lanterns are evergreen and red lanterns are really beautiful : )
levian, yes would be cool to take a photo next to the bull! You forgot how to make those angpow lanterns? Oh, what a waste! If not, you can make one for me : )
shionge, I thought Singapore's CNY deco would be just as good if not better? Maybe it's the economy? But I have to say Singapore's Christmas trees and decos are just so much nicer than Malaysia's.
xin, Mid Valley's deco really put me in the CNY mood. The one in Curve is not so suitable for CNY - in fact, I feel it's more for Hari Raya or something : )
health nut wannabee mom, you should visit Malaysia one day - I'm sure you'll like it here! The lanterns actually look more beautiful and stunning when you see them right there than seeing them in the photos : )
merryn, thanks for sharing your photos with me! You have a nice blog too! Sure, go ahead and add my link : )
johnny ong, I didn't really enter a lot of the shopping malls during CNY. These decorations were put up way before CNY : )
den, thanks so much for allowing me to share your beautiful photo! Oh, I didn't really look at Sg Wang's CNY deco. Will have a look at it : )
jade, you can say that again! Time just flies! What is so scary about that festival you mentioned? Ooh, I must check it out! Thanks!! : )
JL, oh didn't know you were waiting! Hope you enjoy looking at those beautiful lantern photos! Yeah, they are better than the JB ones - probably over here they have bigger budget : )
iamthewitch, yeah have to admit this year's CNY not as nice compared to previous years. And MidValley's deco is nice! : )
sherry, thanks :)
monica, I like too - I think it's very 'classy': )
pikey, well thank me for summarizing all for you. Haha! : )
rad, yes, I love the MidValley's deco. And the ox is cool indeed : )
annant, I always try to make it a point to visit the malls before Christmas and CNY just to see what decorations they put up each year. Maybe you should do that and take some nice photos for your blog : )
You forgot how to make those angpow lanterns? What a pity!
the ox is cool cause I'm an ox! ;)
rad, so you are cool too? LOL! OK, you are : )
All the photos look great! It sure was fun there...
Thanks for consolidate all the deco in the mall.. I don't even have time to take the shots ... :)
I like the one at Sunway Pyramid... It's just the colour and ambience it created that attracted me... lol! :)
thanks for sharing the pics. the angpow lanterns look unique in a way.
Yes, Foong. Initially, I didn't wan to use my real name for personal reasons.
Wow, how pretty! Gorgeous photos.
As always, I really appreciate the comments you leave at my place. Thanks!
Toni
i won't mind sharing the skill if i have it. it was fun, n ok, admitting frustration as well since i lack of patience. :p
Hello my friend, you are lucky to live in KL whereby you have so many beautiful CNY decorations around. BTW, you had been tagged.
I didn't have time to check out any decorations this year. Was just too lazy to go out ... hehehe ...
Hi there!
Wah I missed so many posts!
my friend said it is easy to make those angpow lanters but i never got it right. sigh.
Wow, basically all the big shopping centers in Klang valley are covered! So red! :)
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, WOW!!
So beautiful!!!
I love the photos with the tree with the pink flowers (I can't remember the name of it!!)!
I want to walk in shopping malls like this :D!!
ayie, thanks! I always enjoy going to shopping malls during the festive seasons just to enjoy the decorations they put up : )
tz, that's a pity, cos if you've taken some nice shots with your good photography skills, I will surely use some of your photos! : )
cashmere, I guess the colour and ambience was nice, but I didn't quite get the idea : )
The decorations look elegant. :)
life ramblings, I love the angpow lanterns! : )
mei teng, haha! I need to get use to using your real name, cos previously always addressed you as 'my bug life' : )
toni, thanks for dropping by! : )
levian, that's too bad! I guess you need patience in doing this kind of thing, don't you? : )
jam, want to move to KL? Haha! Actually the grass may not be greener on the other side. Will check out the tag soon : )
nick phillips, I thought you always go shopping with your wife - surely you would have seen most of the decorations, no?
josephine, welcome back! Thanks for dropping by : )
renaye, really? Ask your friend to make one for me? : )
neo, basically yes. How come you didn't take more photos of the CNY deco this time? Was hoping to borrow some of your photos : )
leo, those pink flowers are called plum blossom. I love those flowers too! Maybe you should visit Malaysia. I think you will love it here! : )
rej, yes very elegant indeed : )
I know how to make basic lanterns but the Philippine lanterns. Iguess same procedures though. You may use wires and bamboo sticks. Bendit accordingly or shape it the way you want. Tie it with strings as you mold it to shape then overlay it with the paper. The papers are usually glued to the frame. Just try to experiment with simple designs. Square or pyramid designs are the easiest. Hope this helps...
Hi Foong! I agree!! What is up with the Curve's decorations??? Thumbs down! :(
I do love The Gardens, it looks so sweet and welcoming, I love! ;)
So what's ur Valentine post gonna be like I wonder? Have a good one! :):):)
Nice pic of all CNY decorations in shopping malls... nice share :)
Nicely captured photos! You've been to almost all shopping complexes i must say.. I like the Mid Valley's deco the most tho. But their Christmas's deco was quite bad last year..
ayie, thanks for your guide, but I'm more interested in the Chinese angpow lanterns. Thanks anyway : )
mariuca, glad you agree with me on The Curve and The Gardens - one is horrible and the other so classy! : )
dave, thanks! Glad you like them : )
horizon, I agree MidValley's CNY deco is good, and their Christmas deco last year was not good, yet they still won the award for the best Christmas deco! The award should have been given to The Curve!
