christmas at pavilion

pavilion...aah....finally and thanks to siaw wee for that. she was my roommate when i first went to college and we met for the first time, more than 6 years after graduation! but thank god, both of us have not changed much. she is still the same and i was very happy to catch up with her at pavilion's food republic (food court). too bad another friend, sim could not make it. that woman! she has been in the peninsular for 6 months and she never bothered to contact me! she applied for transfer because she is doing her masters in UM. siaw wee came all the way here for her masters courses in the holidays with nottingham uni too. gosh, they are so driven. i wonder when i will get that knock in my head and do mine. if i am only willing to sacrifice my weekends.

anyway, christmas spirits were in the air and things were obvious from the malls decorations. luckily things are cheerier and more colourful in this part of town. pavilion is really happening and it is big! this is going to be the new shopping address in town...if only i had more money. there are many choices and brands although they are on the higher end. the parkson here is better than tangs, i think because it has more new brands or those previously unavailable in malaysia like sass and bide. but the pieces are still very little and they are the very plain ones. well, at least it is a beginning. and they have marc by marc jacobs in pavilion. the first store i think. yeah for that but nein for the price tags. a shirt which i saw online is US$68 but here in malaysia, it is RM399. almost double the price ah. WTC!


the food republic is very happening. yummy! and here you have the new craze in town. j.co donuts. those familiar with big apple's will know what i mean. the queue was so long all the time ( i observed for 30 minutes while having my cuppa with siaw wee at gloria jeans). since i was there of course i also joined the queue later lah. man, i queued for 30 mins! however, i was slightly disappointed as it was not up to my expectation. big apple is better i think. but another reason could be i ate my jco only when i got home wherelse i had my big apples on the spot. anyone, any comments on jco??

main entrance.
the spectacular view that greets you once you enter the building. this is just awesome. i think its theme is christmas wonderland.
this tree is actually a christmas stage for carollers who came on at certain time. their singing was melodious. macam from a radio. click on the video below to listen. but the angle was not right lah because of my phone position when was recording. never mind, just listen.
