Bedazzling Christmas at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur

By ST.Fan -
Before we knew it Santa is back singing out loud " HoHoHo I am Back"! Christmas 2012 is just days away and many shopping Malls already decorated with beautiful Christmas theme to draw shoppers and visitors in. A week ago we saw the almost completed Christmas decoration at The Curve mall but we had no photos because it was not lighted yet at that time.
Bedazzling Xmas 2012 pavilion Kuala Mall Lumpur
A Bedazzling Christmas is the 2012 Christmas theme for Pavilion Kuala Lumpur with plenty of crystals, glittering gold and blinking lights on the Christmas tree. — Camera: OLYMPUS PEN E-P1, LENS: M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 17MM F/2.8 pancake lens, SETTING F/4.0, 1/15s and ISO 200.

We were at the Bukit Bintang area running some chores and decided to drop by the Pavilion Kuala Lumpur for lunch. The Pavilon Mall 2012 Christmas decoration looked more vibrant and upbeat than what we remembered last December. The theme for 2012 is Bedazzling Christmas.
Imperial Chandeliers of Pavilion Mall 2012 Christmas decoration.
Visitors entering Pavilion Mall from the Bukit Bintang entrance can never missed the impressive Imperial Chandelier hanging high above the Majestic Steps. — Camera: OLYMPUS PEN E-PL2, Lens: M.Zuiko Digital 14-42 mm f/3.5-5.6 II standard zoom lens. setting Lens set at 42mm f/6.3, 1/30s and ISO 1000.

A Bedazzling Christmas means lots of sparkles, blinking lights, things that impress, shine and blind you. That is exactly what you can expect with blinking Christmas trees, lots of lightings and a giant chandelier. You will find something more than that as well. There are lots of crystals - thanks to Swarovski Crystal Co., the key player behind this year's Bedazzling Christmas theme.

Xmas Magical Train Rides at Pavilion Mall
A cute and colourful Magical Train await the kids and the young at heart this Christmas at Pavilion Mall. — Camera: OLYMPUS PEN E-PL2, Lens: M.Zuiko Digital 14-42 mm f/3.5-5.6 II standard zoom lens. setting Lens set at 42mm f/6.3, 1/40s and ISO 1000.

Every year Pavilion Mall's Christmas decoration seems to circle around a fairy tale, wonderland and magical moment. This year is no different either;  I guess they want to mesmerise  shoppers into a wonderland and drown them into a shopping frenzy.  Pavilion Kuala Lumpur being the leading premium shopping mall in the city, isn't that what they need to do to maintain their lead?

Bedazzling Christmas Tree at Pavilion Mall KL

Christmas is also a season to be jolly for little children too.  To that, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur has set up something special for the them so their papa and mama can shop in peace. The Magical Train rides around the beautiful Christmas tree bedazzled with blinking decorations are sure to keep them fascinated as well.

Crystal Carriage for Pavilion Mall's Bedazzling Christmas Theme
The star of the Bedazzling Christmas Theme in Pavilion Mall is this beautiful crystal carriage with 5000 Swarovski Elements. — Camera: OLYMPUS PEN E-PL2, Lens: M.Zuiko Digital 14-42 mm f/3.5-5.6 II standard zoom lens. setting Lens set at 42mm f/6.3, 1/100s and ISO 1000.

The star of the Bedazzling Christmas theme at Pavilion KL is a Crystal Carriage sitting  on top of a gazebo at the Centre Court. According to Pavilion Mall and Swarovski Crystal this huge glittering Crystal Carriage is beautified with 5000 crystal elements. However no body is counting them because Pavilion mall is not giving any price for the winner. Instead you can win some attractive prices counting the crystal stars and snowflakes in a sparkling Christmas Tree located at Couture Pavilion at level 2.

Maguro Sashimi from Ichiban Boshi Pavilion Mall
Our lunch is at Ichiban Boshi and have this bedazzling maguro sashimi with our meal. — Camera: OLYMPUS PEN E-PL2, Lens: M.Zuiko Digital 14-42 mm f/3.5-5.6 II standard zoom lens. setting Lens set at 25mm f/6.3, 1/4s and ISO 800.

For lunch we had a very satisfying meal at Ichiban Boshi with some "bedazzling" Shashimi.   By the way, Ichiban Boshi is one of our preferred diner when we are at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.  This is our first visit since their reopening after a major renovation in October.

Macro with M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm F/2.8 Macro MSC Lens

Having experienced the joy of macro photography with the Olympus MCON-P01 macro converter, my wife is all set for the real thing and she is now a proud owner of the highly acclaimed Olympus M.ZUIKO Digital ED 60mm F/2.8 macro lens. This lens is lightweight but well-built and about 80% longer in length than the M.Zuiko 45mm F/1.8 which is another Olympus prime lens with many positive users feed back. For us the 60mm F/2.8 macro is a more versatile and useful lens for the type of photography that Elaine engage in. We treat lenses and cameras like an artist's tool set that are acquired based on its ability in adding value to our creative pursuit. Close-up of a fully ripe mulberry fruit the separate minute fruits of this multiple fruit is clearly visible in this 1:1 macro shot.    --    Camera: Olympus Pen E-PL2, Lens: Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 60 mm f/2.8 MSC Macro Lens, setting at F/9.0 1/40s and ISO 200 Build-in flas...

I wish I was shooting digital 25 years ago.

We went to California, USA for holiday in mid Nov 1992.  Looking back that was exactly 25 years ago. We spent the last few days of our trip at my wife's classmate home in Los Angeles. In their house  They had a huge beautiful pet, a green Parrot called Ziggy that lived in their study. If my memories serve well I think parrot Ziggy was easily over 3 feet tall. Portrait of parrot Ziggy.  The mostly green plumage resembles a military parade uniform and earn this species of parrot the name military macaw.  This photo was taken in 1992 using Olympus OM-3 with  Olympus OM-Zuiko 35-105mm F3.5-F4.5 zoom lens on Fuji Velvia 35 mm slidefilm.        Parrot Ziggy belonged to the military macaw ( Ara militaris)  species of large beautiful Parrot.   Initially Ziggy was not comfortable with our presence but after two days it got accustomed to these two visitors from afar. I took some photos of this handsome big bird with my Olympus OM-...
