\nThe new Gardens<\/b> in Midvalley. Not so interesting facade just yet.<\/p>\n


\nDoes it draw you in?<\/p>\n


\nMost certainly, yes.<\/p>\n


\nModern and comfy with big plush sofas on the ground floor. I hope they don’t remove it in favor of stalls.<\/p>\n


\nAltimet interviewing some chick.<\/p>\n


\nGood ol’ Sunway Pyramid<\/b> had an extension. But first, I’ve never seen this kind of flare with my Peleng fisheye!<\/p>\n


\nPyramid always had a good theme; this is one of the new atriums. The new path lies over where Parkson used to be, with Parkson at the end, and TGV Cinemas moved up one floor.<\/p>\n


\nThe other new atrium connects back to the skating rink. Amazing!<\/p>\n


\nBetween the blue and orange atriums is a nice Egyptian-styled pathway. I always thought Pyramid was one of the pioneering concept malls.<\/p>\n


\nAnd of course, the great big Pavilion<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nWide as wide gets, wider than Berjaya Times Square and with much better occupancy rates!<\/p>\n


\nA lot of photographs would show the intense spotlights that light up most of Pavilion, even the outside where there was a car showroom.<\/p>\n


\nSecurity officers make sure nobody’s going around snapping pictures. I was never stopped.<\/p>\n


\nThe center is a giant runway, with fashion-centric tenants. Also notable was that when I saw the crowd, only two words came to mind – fashionable men<\/b>. No, not homosexual men (although they might have been) – fashionable men. Fashionable men, all walking in pairs<\/b>, no, not one or three or four, exactly two.<\/p>\n


\nCatwalk! Rawr.<\/p>\n


\nChimps! *throws bananas at them*<\/p>\n


\nFor the non-standing crowd, there’s always a big flight of stairs to make like a cinema.<\/p>\n


\nFrom this picture, can you tell which item she is modelling?<\/p>\n


\nAnd of course, the insanely crowded J.Co Donuts<\/a>. I didn’t go ga-ga over it back when I first had it in Bandung, Indonesia, but the Glazzy Donut that came free with a box of 6 changed my mind. In fact, that was better than the more flavorful donuts!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
