Well, I experienced snowing for real in KL for the very first time last week. No I am not kidding : )
OK, that is not exactly true. I have actually experienced snow before in KL. It was a few years back. Serious.
After QuaChee put up on his blog a photo of snow falling down on KLCC, I was really amused. Snowing in KL? It was downright ridiculous!
I think I'll believe a story about UFO sightings in KL much more than about snow falling. Haha! Now of course he added the 'snow' to the photo!
Well, last Tuesday, I witnessed a unique phenomenon that would certainly topped all the doomsday hype generated by the movie 2012. It was snowing in KL! Don't believe? Look at the photo I captured!
I can assure you this is not some 'trick' photo. It's really snowing! For the very first time in KL!
OK, who am I kidding? Haha!
If you don't already know, it's snowing in Pavilion KL at 8pm every night till Boxing Day! And of course, it's fake snow! If you believed it was real snow, then I am quite sure you believe in Santa Claus. Although there's really nothing wrong with that. Haha!
When I heard that Pavilion KL was going to rain snow, I just had to go there to have a look! I braved the traffic jam just to be there but believe me, it was worth it!
'Cos I didn't just get to see snow (even if it's fake!) but I also bumped into who else but....
QuaChee himself!!
Yes! So I quickly snapped a photo of him, although that Christmas tree behind him looked like a tall hat on his head! LOL!
It's nice meeting you, QuaChee! : )
Ok, let us start from the beginning of my snow fall adventure, shall we?
After driving through traffic jam on the Federal Highway from Petaling Jaya, I reached Pavilion KL at about 6.30pm. It was about to get dark soon, so I quickly parked my car and hurried to the front entrance of the prestigious shopping mall.
And what did I see? Nice cute glowing reindeers!
The reindeers were pulling a beautiful carriage although Santa Claus was nowhere to be seen!
Nice glowing trees lined the street.
Tall beautiful Christmas trees welcomed visitors to the mall.
Since there was still half an hour left before the scheduled snow fall at 8pm, I went inside the mall to snap more pictures.
It was a Royale Christmas at Pavilion! There seemed to be a band performing music.
I did not stay long to watch as it was soon time for the snow to fall! I heard that the Minister Of Tourism YB Dato' Dr Ng Yen Yen would be there.
So I went out of the mall and positioned myself at the best spot to snap some photos of the snow fall and maybe even a photo of the minister herself.
There was already a huge crowd waiting in anticipation for the arrival of the minister and the countdown to the snow fall.
Dr Ng Yen Yen arrived not long after but I did not manage to take a photo of her. There was a huge crowd surging forward and the guards prevented us from moving towards the middle of the walkway to make way for the minister and her entourage.
Oh, well. The highlight was the snow and not the minister, so I was OK with that!
The emcee invited the crowd to start the countdown. It was fun!
10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 .....
We all looked up.
5 - 4 - 3 .....
I was practically shouting aloud and getting my camera ready!
2 - 1 .....!
I could see snow shooting out from the sides of the building!
Snow was raining down!
It was practically snowing in KL! Yippee!!
Of course it was just foam and not real snow, but who cares?
Everyone was busy snapping away!
At the beginning of this post, I mentioned that I have seen snow falling in KL before. Yes, I did and it was at Starhill Gallery a few years back. Now it's Pavilion's turn. And it was cool!
While the snow rained down, there was a performance going on. People were dancing!
They seemed to be enjoying dancing in the snow!
Now if you have missed the snow at Pavilion, do not worry. There are still lots of chance for you to catch it as Pavilion KL would be snowing every night at 8pm till Boxing Day on 26th December!
FIRST COMMENTER
Wow..snowing everynight at 8pm till Boxing Day! I must visit Pavilion to see for myself soon.
Btw, I have heard from a friend who had lived in the US that encountering real snow isn't a great thing. There are major hassles in life. I am grateful for warmer weather anytime! :)
Snow! I guess KL is now into the christmas feel too! Singapore always have a snow machine in Orchard... Looks like KLCC got into it too ^_^.
Oh did you know, Sunway Pyramid also had this started some time back? ^_^ Ok I come later for the rest of the post... need to get back to my replyings haha! I couldn't resist to read to this when I saw "Snowing in KL!" woot!
seems like someone stopped talking about china
and now all hyped up about the fake snow in gayvillion
we all wonder if he needs to snap quachee's picture like that and post it in his blog like quachee's a celebrity. not only that, does quachee allow him to do it?
and yet all along, he's soooo mysterious that he never even dare to post his own photo. like he's such a big shot.
if so secretive, why does he need to openly asked his readers to accompany him for backpacking trip right? backpacking trip also need so many rules.
and then ah, still dare to write a poem and say some other blogger as fat and looney. now i wonder if he's the one who's looney to write such ridiculous poem.
and then ah, he's so retarded he influenced all his reader to comment like how he does. like this lor. one post can comment so many things one wor. and his comments can stretch over soooo many post one wor.
summore, when he's the first one to leave a comment, he'll so syok sendiri put "FIRST!" and then only start commenting on the next post. like what the retarded fuck is this man???
so ah, now when he started to go all hyped up about the fake snow and pretended all so immature all excited about it, isn't it so ridiculous?
aiya, i'm sure he's expecting a lot of comments one. so i follow what he likes to do la. i comment repeatedly lor. one comment every minute. happy or not foongpc?
must be so syok right? 10 minutes can get from 2 comments up to 15 comments.
see got so retarded one wor. what's the purpose of having so many comments from one single pc right?
but anyway, it's up to him la what he likes. but for what i know, he's so weird and so full of himself.
shame...
wah first i thought it is real snow hahaha (aiyo... i miss the chance)
After read through, che.... fake snow... hahahaa ~ quite creative idea good!
Guess Pavilion is making lots of money from this snow show...
hmmm... i rather to buy a ticket and fly to the north atmosphere to see snow... Anyway, i been through 3 real white Xmas... I wouldn't wanna to drive all the way to Pavilion to see the fake snow :p
hahaha, yalor, i still remember the rumours that KL will be snowing.. i was so anticipating, but ended up i proved the nonsense :p
oh, i didn't know pavilion is "snowing"!! i thot only MV has that..
hmmm, i guess now more and more shopping center will have that "snowing" time to attract more patrons..
i think that's actually a brilliant idea to have the soap foam turned into fake snow.. they are quite real and really give a nice ambience..
and yeah.. christmas is coming!! let it snow, let it snow, let it snow~~ :p
Whoa! So festive! Very nice pictures, Foong. After reading about it in the papers the other day, I actually plan on visiting the place but have yet to.
Good that you were there before nightfall, so you got to experience the different feel of the place.
Imagine bumping into QC. What a coincidence. So, did you have dinner/a drink or something?
Merry Christmas, Foong!
Oh what a snowy feeling! Great pictures. Not sure when you mentioned 'foam', referring to liquid form or those styrofoam trimmed into small pieces? Caution for those with sensitive nose you might have some problem. :)
Looks like everyone's having fun in the snow, never mind that its fake.
3 cheers for Pavillion for bringing in the fun!
i am very impressed with the christmas deco....very very nice...and btw u step on someone's tail recently? AHAHHAAHHAHAHAA.....
haih..im so gonna miss da snow..i wish i could fly back now Now NOW! :(
nice photos!!!! now we have white xmas too :D
Dear Anonymous,
Please be respectful and mindful for fellow bloggers. We do not condone 4-letter word and if you are so upset for whatever reasons (only God knows !), please keep your insanity and do not blurt out like out. Obviously this not a place suitable for you. Foongpc, keep up your good work and do not be belittle by this lunatic from outerspace!
wow, so beautiful, how i wish i am in KL ler...but i am now in Miri. hmmm...:)
Guess you cannot please everyone! No matter what you are doing great. We stand by you! Nice snow. TQ
wow u're really happening la! I'll be there tomorrow!
Nice effort by the organizer to create a white X'mas atmosphere
i experienced the first fake snow in HK disneyland parade..quite fun..
Wow, looks like the atmosphere is big over there, at least bigger than Sydney's.
It must be a photographer's heaven. There's not much stuff to photograph here unfortunately.
Very festive mood over that place! Beautiful shots as usual!
snow.. i would lik to experience tat as well.. hav to find a time to go there.. haha.. so christmas mood lar.. lol
wow.. the pavilion is really going all out for xmas. nice deco too =)
kenwooi.com
mei teng, yes go visit Pavilion and snap some snow photos for us!
Me too! I prefer warmer weather! It's nice to enjoy snow once in a while though, but I don't think I like to stay in places that have snow fall! : )
ladyviral, I didn't catch the snow in KLCC. Are they having it this year?
anonymous, do I know you? You seem to have been following my posts for some time by the way you commented here.
Guess what? Everyone is free to comment here. Just like I'm free to blog however I like cos may I remind you - THIS IS MY BLOG. I do what I like with my blog.
If I do not want to put my photo here, it's my right. If I do not want to post about China trip and post about the snow in KL instead, it's my choice. You don't like it? No problem. You can leave anytime. And yet, you still stay around and read my blog. Perhaps you like my blog after all! : )
As for snapping QuaChee's picture, well to me, he's a friend and of course he's a celebrity in the making! Don't you know? Duh!
And of course QuaChee allowed me to post his photo here. Because I asked him. So you see, unlike you, I have very good manners and I have utmost respect for others.
Just because I don't post a photo on my blog does not mean I'm a big shot. If that's the case, then there are many big shot bloggers around!
Of course I have the right to set the rules when I invite people to travel with me. If you don't like the rules, just don't travel with me. It's that simple!
As for the poem, any smart, rational and understanding person will know it's all a joke, and it is in fact, a tribute to my blogger friends. I doubt any of my blogger friends are hurt by my poem but if they are, then they miss the whole point of the whole poem, which is really my tribute to them!
Calling someone fat or loony may not be good practice in real life, but in the context of my poem, I think it's acceptable especially when it's meant to be humorous. If you find the poem insulting, my advice is go get a life!
For the record, I am not the first person who started this "comment spamming". And even if I am, what's wrong with it? I can't force people to like or dislike it, and if some readers are influenced to comment this way, that's their right and their choice to do so. In any case, I think it's fun to comment this way and not at all retarded!
If I like to put "First!" when I'm the first commenter on any blog, that's really up to me! I find it totally fun! And to me, blogging is meant to be fun! If you don't like it, that's just too bad. Sue me!!
So you think I hype up the fake snow and pretend to be all excited about it? Well, then you must be a real pro at reading my mind! In actual fact, I did not hype up anything and I was genuinely excited about the snow. But if I really did hype it up and pretended, so what? Are you such an amateur and you know nothing about blogging?
I really don't think I'm so full of myself. But you can say what you want of course. And if I really want to be so full of myself, why not? Again, IT'S MY BLOG, so sue me.
Btw, thanks for comment spamming on my blog. I like it! : )
Surprisingly, you don't practise what you preach! And that's just the kind of person you are - shamelessly hiding behind an anonymous name and throwing insults like that. Have a good day.
CH Voon, haha of course not real snow! : )
khengsiong, not sure about that! But it would sure attract a lot of potential shoppers! : )
TZ, wow! You are so rich! I can't afford the flight so what to do? Have to settle for fake snow! : )
SK, haha, yeah the rumours about the snow - we all know it's ridiculous!
The fake snow is kinda nice, of course nothing like the real thing I guess : )
My first ever experience with snow was in an amusement park in Phils where they had that snow and ice experience then next one was in china but of course another artificial snow. It was in window of the world and me and my siblings had some fun there sliding down and playing. No snow in our area here but lately so so cold that everything gets frosted in the morning. Had to scrape ice on the car. FIL thinks of going to the mountains to take us to the snow but I am not too interested... baby might not like the cold.
Wah the decoration in Pavillion is really nice! As for the snow, I have experienced the same before in Midvalley megamall too.. but I didn't quite like the fact that the foam will be sticky once it gets to your body. :P Also, I had to be careful not to let the foam touch my camera lens!
8pm every night?!
darn i missed this. Think I was too late to reach Pavilion the other day. Or just started snowing?
ipoh no snow
A smile from SJ =)
hey foongpc, was good bumping into you for that snowny kl lol. u did a very nice write up of the whole snow experience! :)
happysurfer, yes it's very festive! Haha! No regrets braving the traffic jam for this! Yes, had a drink with QuaChee - nice meeting him.
Merry Christmas to you too! : )
cheahs@n, it's liquid foam. Yeah, very snowy feeling! LOL!
shingo T, yes, 3 cheers to Pavilion for the snow! : )
manglish, yes it's impressive! Hmmm, I wonder if this anonymous commenter is the same one who commented on your blog? : )
annant, haha! Never mind, just experience the snow here in my blog ; )
xin, thanks! Yes, now we have our very own White Christmas : )
bura, thanks for your support! I'm fine. I don't get easily affected by such comments especially when commented by an anonymous person. Maybe he/she's jealous? : )
gabriel, no snow in Miri? : )
bananaz, thanks for the support! Appreciate it : )
eiling lim, not half as happening as you lah! Haha! So you'll be at Pavilion to watch the snow? : )

cassie the missy, yeah, find the time and go! Still have many more days till Boxing Day! : )
kenwooi, yeah, nice deco and nice snow! But aren't it snowing for real over at your place now?
ayie, wow! Those are really nice experiences of fake snow! Haha! I can't stand the cold, so I think I won't really enjoy real snow. LOL!
iamthewitch, yes it's nice deco at Pavilion. About the snow being sticky, I didn't feel it, but one foam actually stuck to my camera lens! Had to wipe it off carefully! : )
J2Kfm, yes it's on at 8pm every night! I'm not exactly sure which day it started snowing but from the Pavilion website, it was stated the snow started on Dec 1st.
SJ, no snow in Ipoh? Come down to KL! LOL! : )
quachee, thanks! Nice to meet up with you too in snowy KL! Haha!
foong, i cant remember which year, it was snowing in 1U too.. I was there in awe.. :D
Greetings from Italy
this post blows my mind.. snowing...who cares if it is fake,..it is snowing. in the 19 fifties when the New World Park installed air conditioning for the first time, penangites went to the place from far n near to see air cond for themselves.. winter in Malaysia... they couldnt believe their senses
hahahahhahaha
only 'retarded' people replies to retarded comments. some more write soooo long.
I wish I could be there, although the snow is fake. Hahaha~
I past thru Pavilion near 11 pm few days ago and gosh, the Christmas decor was fantastic! :)
And I'd love to experience snow in KL! Must hv been a lot of fun ya.
merryn, when did it snow in 1Utama? I missed that! Maybe I was not around at that time! : )
carola, hi! Thanks for dropping by! : )
oooo... snow in hot, humid Malaysia.
Greta wor... got snow yet no need to wear winter clothes.
bengbeng, haha! So did you experience any snow in Sibu? : )
daydreamer,come over to KL! : )
kyh, yes the Christmas deco is beautiful at Pavilion! And the snow definitely makes it more special! : )
lina, hi! Still there? Yes, can see snow but still feel hot! Haha!
Hi Foong!
I am waiting for real snow to arrive here, when will that be? ;)
So Christmasy and love the fake snow pics! Merry Christmas to u ho ho ho! :)
Hahaha. apparently some of your readers also thought you're retarded! and to have you thinking your stalker as me shows how retarded you are! some more laughing about it? poor you. poor you.
mariuca, real snow in KL? Haha! That ain't gonna happen! Merry Christmas to you too, even if you don't celebrate! : )
anonymous, oh really? We both know who's the retarded one here, don't we? ; )
hi hi hi...
yes, still here though no idea what to spam you with. :D
my blasted internet connection soooo slow today, had to resort to watchinh wrestling while surfing. LOL
Those christmas tree are nice^^ Hope we have "snow" in SG too.
lina, haha, an anonymous commenter here is saying I'm retarded for spamming comments. And he's spamming me! Read his spams above! What do you think of him/her?
lina, ooh! Sorry about the slow internet! I hate it when it is slow like that! I rather switch off the computer and do something else like watching TV! : )
kelvin, I thought Singapore always have snow every year at Orchard Road, no?
hahaha foong that made me really laugh! I honestly get to enjoy that blog spamming only on those blogs I know who would appreciate it and those people we refer to as "blogger friends". It's rare to catch people with different timezones so it gets more fun interacting that way. Leave him/her be.
another post up for lina now? I was emailing my fam and chatted with my sis that's why i haven't started my blog hop =P
yes it was freezing and our lips were getting so dry and fingers getting blue! haha
Wow, that anynomous commenter really had some steam to let loose about you! You took it like a pro and allowed his/her comments to be posted. I read from another blog a few months from a commenter who used his real identity and he was just f**king and sh**ting about the blog owner. Wonder why people feel the need to leave nasty comments like this? If they don't like the blogger, then don't visit, right?
The reindeers, Christmas trees, and other decors look so beautiful! Better than what I've seen so far in the California! You guys really bring in the Christmas joy and all :) What was the snow made out of by the way? Was it styrofoam? We don't get snow in San Francisco either so last year when it rained ice, I got so excited. Well, maybe with the global climate change, San Francisco and KL might get snow one day.
wow pavilion will never fail to entertain the visitors for every single festival =p thumbs up... erm well it already snowed since last mth here in germany... go see my latest entry... hohoho =p
I'm not into fake snow. Give me real snow anytime. :P hehe
aiyoo i missed the snow lah Foong!
anyway, I love all the pics you took! ;)
ayie, yes I enjoy spamming comments - I guess not everyone enjoys them!
Wow! Freezing until fingers turn blue? I hate that!! : )
rose belle, thanks for your kind comments! I guess the anonymous commenter is having some personal issues. Normally people who leave these kind of comments are suffering from some personal problems they can't handle and they take it out on others : )
So we are more festive here in KL? Haha! The snow is actually liquid foam, not styrofoam. I really doubt KL will snow one day but then again, who knows? LOL!
fufu, yeah I know you are experiencing real snow in Germany. Enjoy!! Haha!
che-cheh, I don't think I can stand real snow! Haha!
monica, it's still snowing every night at Pavilion till 26th Dec so hurry over to catch it! Glad you like my pics! : )
thanks for the info!! will grab girlfriend to pavilion tomorrow at 8 pm!
Oh no, it's just foam? I think I prefer man made snow.
ahaha thats nice. i hope i can experience the real snow...
should've visited pavillion at night....i went 2 days ago in the afternoon, too bad about that, i missed the snowing part. the deco are totally amazing!!
@foong,
I guess I'm "retarded" also because I do like to spam certain blogs with my comments and also I like to be spammed! LOL
I so wanna go there! Who want to give me a ride? :D
Spam # 3.
If they can make the reindeer fly, wahhhh lagi magical. :D
Maybe I can experience real snow next year? Aiyoh, gotta save lots and lots of money for next year's year-end vacation. :)
BTW, you got your travelling partner oredi for yoour next year trip?
renaye, you are welcome! : )
jam, yes it's foam. What do you mean by man made snow?
bluedreamer27, real snow? You must travel to countries which have snow! : )
my taste heaven, you can still go! It's snowing every night till 26th Dec! : )
lina, haha! We both like spamming don't we? So what if we are called "retarded"? Who cares right? : )
You want a ride to Pavilion? Aiya, ask Zaini lah. Surely it's not a problem since it's at night?
Make reindeer fly? Haha! That would be magical indeed! Sure win award and get into world news like that : )
Eh, where you going next year? Please don't tell me it's Japan again!!!
No, still haven't got travel partner. maybe people scared to travel with me cos so many restrictions as mentioned by the anonymous commenter. LOL! But it's OK, I think I prefer to have one whole room to myself! : )
@foong,
He won't take me lah! :(
What do you? You think I'll go to Japan again or not? :D
Zaini said not to have my hopes too high. Working in a bank is not stable anymore now. :( Maybe we'll just head to Genting and experience some fake snow instead. LOL
lina, so it's Japan again! OMG!!! Genting? How to compare with Japan? You will surely be disappointed with Genting! Haha!

Hi Foong, I read ur reply to anonymous and I think you did a wonderful job of putting him in his place. How dare he stalks and mocks your blog and spoil the mood for your other readers, me included!!
And I love ur reply abt ur poem. If anybody missed out ur tribute meaning behind it, they sadly did not get your words. For truly, it was a wonderful tribute and extremely creative too.
I have always been a fan, FC or not so keep on having fun, keep on being mysterious and keep on posting the way we, your true readers, love you best! :):):):):)
goldman, I consider this a spam.

ops!
btw, i didn't know we have fake snow! :( i wish i was there!
faisal, yes I'm ignoring him! And thanks for your comment! : )
Next time Christmas, you must come down to KL to enjoy the fake snow, haha! No fake snow in Penang?
