CNY Fashion Statement

So how's this for a Chinese New Year outfit? This is the first time Dhamia is donning a cheongsam. I have had the idea of getting her one of these outfits for Chinese New Year although it I have to admit that it was kind of tough looking for it. I find it hard to believe that I could not find any shop selling this cheongsam at two of the major shopping centres in Melaka, namely Mahkota Parade and Dataran Pahlawan. I guess wearing cheongsam for Chinese New Year is no longer the in-thing...well, at least judging from what I have discovered.

Luckily I was able to find this at Madam King. Looks like it's time for the apiau girl to show off her cheongsam.

Year Of The Ram

It's the Chinese New Year decoration again, and this time around, at the newly-opened shopping centre in Melaka, The Shore. As this is still a rather new shopping centre, the place seemed to be attracting quite a large crowd as people want to see what the shopping has to offer. One look at it one would not be wrong to say that this place can be considered as Melaka's answer to KL's Lot 10 or Pavilion.

I guess one of the main attractions here is the beautifully lighted fountains both at the front and the rear of the shopping complex. The fountain really brightened up the entire place at night. No wonder so many visitors are taking advantage of it to have their photos taken around the fountain...Dhamia included.

CNY In The Air Again

Chinese New Year is in the air again and as always, shopping complexes in Melaka seem to be competing with one another in coming up with the most interesting and creative CNY decorations. Of course, these shopping complexes will go to the ends of the world just to show off their creativity.

One thing is for sure. This is perhaps one of the best time for shutter bugs as there are virtually endless possibilities. How about the mangkuk siah and beaded nyonya shoes for decoration? Not directly linked with CNY but still very much linked with Melaka as they are considered as icons for the Nyonya community in Melaka.

So thumbs up for the decoration?
