So we first dropped by Petaling street. After parking the car, we walked by Bee Cheng Hiang - a stall originating from Singapore, selling "bak kua" - or BBQed sweetmeats.
Surprise surprise - they have a queue outside the shop. But that queue is nothing compared to the one outside Wo Lai Yeh (or Kiew Brothers as it's English name says). 
It's the same every year - long queues outside Wo Lai Yeh and just next door at Loong Kee - they'll be lucky to get more than 5 people queueing up.Petaling Street is supposedly the Chinatown of KL, but if you look closely, most of the shopkeepers are Bangladeshis. They are hired by the locals to man the stalls.
Today, there is a big crowd as locals and tourists try to put in some last minute shopping. 
Young man finally got his new tees and I managed to get my Bak Kua from Bee Cheng Hiang after queueing for more than 20 minutes. 
A fellow shopper's kid fell asleep in the queue. 
Alex entertained himself with his PSP as he waited. While in Petaling Street, met up with an ex-MBA course mate - Simon Tan.After that we went to Pavilion. Met a couple of ex-colleagues - Goh Ming Han and another (still scratching my head on his identity).
Anyway, we looked for the huge Bull - found it just outside the main entrance. 
The path from the main entrance leading to the center court was lined with pink blossoms. 
Looks nice.Last but not least, I just couldn't resist a shot with this red Mao statue.
In Singapore Raffles Shopping Center, they have a studio BUT you are not allowed to photograph the exhibits.Okay - I guess all my shopping lists have been filled!
Gong Xi Fa Cai!
Wishing all of you a Happy, Healthy, Wealthy Year of the Ox
May we get less Bull from all parties concerned - Political and Commercial
And have more Love and Peace in our hearts and souls.
