The Christmas Photography Month

It´s the 6th day of December...... with the start of December, I made a decision to go all around Selangor and anywhere accessible in our reach for this whole month.... As it is, she loves lights so much, I just decided to share with her the different types of themes and decorations all around KL and Selangor has to offer to my beautiful daughter.

Mind you... these trips are and can be extremely exhausting as majority of it... well.... cos I am definitely not on a whole month vacation. 

For the first day of December, my daughter and I took a trip into a Fantasy Christmas at Sunway Pyramid. Decorated magnificiently, Sunway has always been the "largest" in decoration wise as they not only have the interior of the shopping mall to decorate but also the whole street going to Sunway Pyramid, Sunway Lagoon and also Sunway Resort Hotel. The decorations at the mini roundabout at the entrance of Sunway Pyramid was beautifully decorated while the skies above, from lampost to lampost, was connected beautifully with lights that shapes of bells and parachuts that has little stars, angels and gingerbread men hanging from the parachuts. Other than that, just outside of Sunway Resort Hotel, the waterfront, there is a magnificient decorations of xmas decorations beautifully lit up at nights. 

For our 2nd trip out on our xmas photography shoot nights, we decided to go to yet another nearby location, Subang Parade. Though it wasn´t fully decorated finish, the centre stage within the mall wasn´t completed yet, we managed to get some really nice shots of the place. Theme as Meredith´s Merry Christmas, I am kinda curious what centre stage would look like as there were many flowers decorations nearby and around it. Guess I need to take Amelia back there once again to find out.


Moving on... 3rd of December 2010......


Our next stop was back to I-City in Shah Alam. Without any theme, this large vast park is wholly a display of lights and decorations both outdoor and indoor. This time around, Amelia and myself took the time to walk around FULLY the whole park even to the snow house that is situated there...... Though I hate to admit.. I was hoping the snow house would be greater and nicer with snow and such.. but oh well... it´s merely air conditioned and loads of sculptures and artificial snow aka cotton all over the floor... but nevertheless, my daughter was extremely thrilled and happy to be there.... Her fascination of lights, astounds me!


4th day... and still not tired out at all! 

As it is the weekend...... we decided to bring grandma and grandpa along on our excursion to capture the xmas moments all over town.  This time around..... I decided to bring my parents and daughter to 1 Utama as their xmas theme was very homely.... Come Home... The theme was..... and with its beautifully crafted and designed houses, it really reminded me alot of the cottages and houses  I saw when I was in Germany last year! 1 Utama is kinda a hassle to go to....... we took alot of time just finding the parking itself.... Congested as always, I am happy that we finally covered 1 Utama, although it was only at the new wing...... hhhmmmmm *thinks* should I go there again but this time to the old wing? Don´t even know if there will be any decorations in the old wing...........




Anyways.........


Continuing on our xmas journey.....

5th of December. Another weekend...... this time around.... the weekend brings me and my daughter together with my parents once again to Empire shopping centre..... Empire.... a brand new shopping mall situated in Subang Jaya..... really amazed me with its decorations...... It created a mini winter wonderland with it´s xmas theme " A Ratty Magical Christmas" and a wonderful mini train around and surrounding with the backdrop of snow and wonderful white xmas trees all around! For me personally, well done for a first xmas! :D


Coming to a week of doing this........

My daughter and I enter our 6th day of photography..... today.... was a disappointment as we took ourselves to Summit Shopping Centre in USJ. The decoration.... is BAD..... not much deco, not much emphasizing....... the theme? Crayon ShinChan (What christmas theme is that?!) But... Amelia enjoyed herself, although not much... as there were many Doraemons there (her latest favourite of that fat blue doll). Surprisingly, I somehow don´t like Doraemon... maybe it´s cos of that high pitch voice of his or whatsoever.... but I feel the cartoon is kinda dumb and definitely not suitable for Amelia to watch... xD Anyways.... We didn´t spend long at Summit as there wasn´t much to see and take photos of.


The last day of the first week of touring.....
7th December 2010 (Tuesday).

My daughter and I, together with my mum decided to go slightly further this time and to a somewhat new shopping mall call Tropicana Mall. This mall is considered kinda new, probably a year or 2 old only. The theme was cute.... A very Jolly Lolly Christmas it was. Surrounded by cookies and gingerbread men and snowman, Tropicana Mall is indeed a colorful sight, capturing customer´s attention to the vast display of Christmas goodies, toys and gifts at the centre stage with the various items on sale! The one thing that captured my eye the most was the santarina dress I saw there for children! Am so tempted to just get one for my beautiful baby...... *in deep thought* 


Well other than just the decorations, we were actually there to watch my sister perform like usual for her annual AFC (All For Christ) group that performs every Christmas. However, sadly to say, this year´s performance was abit...... disappointing. There weren´t much dances and such at all. I hope they´d do better next year!


Coming to an end for the first week... We have finally managed to visit 7 different spots on 7 different nights.... With tonight, will be the 8th night. Am still wondering... will there be enough 25 spots for us to venture? Best.... if there is even 31 spots for us to encounter for the whole of December!


Who knows......
