Happy Chinese New Year from Colin and SiewPeng! :D  May the year of dragon brings you great health, happiness and prosperity!

We have taken our picture with the golden dragon at Sunway Pyramid.   The decorations are fantastic.

Unlike previous years we have taken the pictures of the cat statue in Kuching, this year we are enjoying a quiet Chinese New Year in KL and we have just visited some of the largest shopping malls.

Lots of people were taking their pictures with the golden dragon too!

There are effects like smoke.  Take a look at the dragon’s tail closely.  At random times, the smoke comes out from the dragon’s nose.

This is the dragon’s head.  The art work is nice and meticulous.

Opposite the golden dragon is a Chinese pagoda.

This is how the pagoda looks like from the top.

This is a larger view opposite the golden dragon.

There are fire balls hanging down from the center of the roof.

Inside the mall, there is a place for ice skating.  The red lanterns are above the skaters.

Before we left, we took some pictures outside Sunway Pyramid.

The side view of Sphinx.

As we walked further, we found a small roundabout decorated with lanterns, beautiful lights and flowers.

Lots of peach blossoms.

We went to Pavillion at Bukit Bintang earlier this month, and we found a huge dragon there.

Once we entered the mall, there were children singing Chinese New Year songs on the stage.

Outside Pavillion, Bukit Bintang.

A few days before, we went to The Gardens Mall and found these cylinder lanterns.

Instead of setting up the dragon statue, Midvalley Megamall used paper cutting lanterns, which is really nice and big and I think it is not an easy job to set them up though it seems easier than the dragon statue.  If you look closely, the patterns on the lanterns were cut and pieces of patterns were then stapled together.

And by the way, lantern in Mandarin has the same sound as dragon, which is ‘Loong’.

And here we are again.

Wishing everyone all the best in the year of Dragon!
