Nowadays, whenever there is any special occasion/celebration, I will definitely make a trip to 'Pavilion'!!! Not because of shopping unfortunately (unfortunate for 'Pavilion' but definitely fortunate for me!!!)... The reason is because of the decorations 'Pavilion' will put on display... In my earlier blog post, I blog about the 'Christmas' decorations and 'Pavilion' took the number one spot in my humble opinion... I'm afraid the same will be happening for 'Chinese New Year' decorations as well... Those incharge of decorating 'Pavilion' ought to have a pay rise!!! The role of 'Pavilion' now double as a shopping complex and also a tourist hot spot!!!

When you step into 'Pavilion', you will be greeted by this super duper HUGE dragon!!! As this year is the year of the dragon, it is befitting to decorate the whole place with a super BIG dragon... This is definitely the biggest dragon I've ever seen... (I know a lot of people think that dragon is a mythical creature but believe it or not, I actually saw one when I was a kid!!! The dragon was flying in the sky above a Chinese temple!!! I still remember the scene vividly and I'm sure what I saw was a dragon and I'm definitely not hallucinating!!!)

Notice all the people down there??? I was shocked when I saw the crowd!!! Nevertheless I took out my trusted camera and snapped away and suddenly, someone asked me what's going on... It looks like some big shot or artist is coming to 'Pavilion' hence all the crowds waiting to see them... The guy asked me who is actually coming and when my answer is 'I DON'T KNOW', he look damn shock... He said with a sarcastic tone "you're carrying such a BIG camera and I assume you know who is coming"!!! Hmm he thinks I'm a PRO!!! Not bad... Actually I'm quite happy to hear that... Haha...

After walking for half a round, I finally manage to find out who is actually coming... The cast from 'Ah Beng The Movie: Three Wishes'!!! Since I'm not interested to find out who is actually coming, is time to move on and stop wasting time waiting for them as I'm starving ('Carl's Jr' I'm COMING!!!)...

Okay I found out two of the BIG shots coming for the event... 'Lai Meng' and 'Yap Chin Fong'... Please don't mistaken the 'Lai Meng' for 'Leon Lai' of Hong Kong!!!

 I love wide angle nowadays!!!

In my opinion, the star of the show is the main entrance... The dragon is definitely nice but the surrounding decorations are not as good as the main entrance.  

I'm sure that almost all of you out there know that I'm in love with 'Publika'... This is a very obvious fact as I kept promoting them!!! 'Publika' one of the nicest shopping complexes out there and now let me introduce you to one of the nicest grocery shop around...

B.I.G. - Bens's Independent Grocer...

 Saffron - World's most expensive spice... 1g = RM7x.xx!!!

 Lots of imported stuff here...

 The nicest non-halal signage I've ever laid eyes on!!!

 More expensive ingredients!!!

Today is my mum's birthday but we decided to celebrate her birthday a week earlier since all of us were back in our home town last week... I've been to this particular restaurant a few times but only recently I realized that they have changed their name to 'Happily Restaurant'!!! What a nice name but do you know how they came up with the name??? The lady boss name is 'Happy' and coincidently her surname is 'Lee'... Viola, 'Happily' shall be the name of the restaurant!!! Okay I just made that up and is purely my assumption!!!

It is customary for us to order a plate of 'Longevity Noodles' when we celebrate someone's birthday in a 'Chinese' restaurant... 

 'Honey glaze pork ribs' that tasted quite nice...

This was my favourite dish of the day... The chicken is very crispy yet the meat is tender and juicy!!!

 Looks burned but tasted really good!!!

 My least favourite dish of the day... Too bland for my liking...

Overall Rating - 3/5

Cake of the day... All of us were wondering what they put in the chocolate coating as the coating is super sticky!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!!!

I admit that I'm kinda lazy to do household chores... Nobody likes doing it!!! But I don't know what happen to me lately cause I find doing household chores addictive!!! Nowadays I don't wait till my darling grumbles and nag before I start moving my butt... I do it automatically now!!! Surprise??? Me too...

Whenever I see our house clean and tidy, it really brings joy and put a smile on my face... Last two weeks, we decided to some spring cleaning to welcome a brand new year... The first thing we did was to sort out all the magazines... I buy at least 2 to 3 magazines a month and this applies to my darling as well... Sometimes the quantity is way more than that... And the best part is, I don't sell or throw away the old magazines that I had... Recently, my darling stopped buying magazines as those at home is driving her up the wall!!! She decided to sell off all her magazines and she even tried persuading me to do the same!!! Obviously she fail at persuading... But I did sell off some of the old magazines eventually... 

The picture above show just a small part of our magazines collection... I sold a total of more than 200kg of magazines!!! And what I get in return??? RM42.80!!! Not bad huh...
