I love Wordless Wednesdays. But this Wednesday, I can't zip my mouth anymore. Why? Because I am full of Warm Wishes for all of you, my friends. I want to,
May the Joys of the season
Fill your heart with goodwill and cheer.
May the chimes of Christmas glory
Add up more shine and spread
Smiles across the miles,
To-day & In the New Year.
-Rosie Cash
Before I say bye-bye today, I have some pictures of Christmas in Malaysia for you to enjoy.....
As I walked through the entrance to this mall, this is what greeted me. A magnicifient ballroom with red carpets from the entrance to the hall. Wouldn't Cinderella, Snow White and Belle be enchanted by all the splendour here? I can imagine how glamorous they will look, dressed in their beautiful gowns, led by their hansome Prince Charmings. As music and laughter filled the air, would they want to dance to a waltz?
While Santa was busy distributing presents and fulfilling wishes to shoppers, his sleigh was parked at the entrance. At designated times, pretty elves pose for photographs. The reindeers seem to be flying to reach for the stars. Now, which one is Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer?
Hey, here's another sleigh parked outside at the entrance. Another Santa? I'm sure he has just arrived because I can see the floor here is covered with snow. So, you'd better watch out, Santa Clause is coming to town .....
You better watch out, you better not cry, you'd better not fight, I'm telling you why.....
At the 1-Utama Shopping Center, Petaling Jaya (the place of The Secret Garden), they are having a White Christmas.
At the Curve, another shopping complex in Petaling Jaya, its White Winter Wonderland. Look, it is snowing in Malaysia!
Everyone was waiting patiently. When it really started to 'snow' , everyone wanted to experience snow falling on themsleves. Cameras went click, click, click. Say cheese, say kimchee, just give me a lovely smile in your own language.
Soon, everyone realised this, " It is only foam!" Ha ha ha ... Ho ho ho...
I have something that I have been keeping to myself for a long long time. Now I wish to tell you. When I was little, there was this song that mum used to play in her record player, "I saw mummy kissing Santa Claus last night". I really couldn't understand nor accept why the mum in the song was kissing Santa and not dad! After all, Santa's job was to give presents to make kids happy. Finally, it came to light that Santa and dad may be the same person after all. So, finally that song had a happy ending for me. Chapter closed.
Peace on earth will come to stay, when we live Christmas every day.

Yehey Autumn Belle, i am the first commenter in the Snowy KLCC. It looks real winter now there in your photos, not incongruous anymore! hehe. Here it is almost the same in shopping centers, but i dont really have much time anymore to appreciate them. I envy you for having more time, i can't even buy more gifts. I love your photos. Merry Christmas and may we be all blessed and stay healthy these coming holiday and years ahead.

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas :)
What an amazing collection of flowers, Autumn Belle! This is what I love about blogging--it brings together gardeners from all over the world, and teaches us about places we'll only likely ever get to visit via the Internet. I hope you have a wonderful, peaceful Christmas, and all the best in the new year.
ReplyDeleteWow - They sure know how to deck out a mall in Malaysia. This is beautiful. I decorate a resort at Christmas, but nothing like this!

ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful day and weekend too! I'm tired but I have to outlast my older daughter to stuff stockings tonight!!
Oh, I'll need to ask my mom about dong zhi (i can't remember how you spelled it). I just have to figure out what food is typically eaten, then I'll remember. :)
Merry Christmas, Autumn Belle! Loved going through the photos...enjoying the views of so many aspects of your beautiful country!
