Continue from my previous post of Chinese New Year 2008 in Kuala Lumpur Shopping Malls, One Utama Shopping Centre does not want to lose out either in attracting shoppers by having moderate decorations around its mall but the center stage is decorated heavily. Everywhere you go, you’ll see blocks of Chinese characters where people will gather to pose for pictures. There are many performances daily including Snake Show (WTF?), Chinese Acrobatics and Lion Dance.

Cobra king appears at the wrong time

One thing that amuses me is that why the hell is the Cobra king out to entertain the crowd? Ain’t it the Year of the Rat? And Cobra belongs to the Snake family — Rat’s biggest enemy! ROFLMAO!

Many people love the lion dance

The Royal London Circus in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur has finally ended on New Year’s Day. As expected, the show does not have any tigers and lions, except small cats that can jump merely 20 centimeters?

The show is filled with opera singing from two Filipinos and a lot of acrobatics and dancers. The best highlight would be the dogs show. But, the most dramatic and adrenaline-pumping would be the motorcycles stunt in the ring. Four motorcycles in one small ring, that’s crazy. The motorcyclists are from Columbia, except one of them is also a Japanese clown!

It’s all about the dogs show

Nike opens its flagship store in Pavilion KL on Level 5 recently and guess how they promote their store?

They hired a few youngsters that acts like mannequin, though some of them are less professional than the mimes artistes seen at Pavilion earlier.

Nike is promoting their store in the main door of Pavilion, just outside Coach.

Some of them really look like mannequins! Don’t be fool though, they are real humans!

Wearing full Nike apparels, I wonder if they get to keep them afterwards?

The mannequins, um, mimes change their positions once every few minutes

How much do you think they are paid for standing like this all day?
