UPDATE: For reasons why I hate Christmas, please refer to here and here.
Normally there is nothing much I can do during Christmas, so I either hang around with friends or just go out, have a coffee or something. But in general, I hate to go to shopping malls during Christmas because its fuck-it-we-don’t-care-about-the-expense Christmas spirits that these mall management have. I mean, they spent millions for a lavish decoration for that one full month (or slightly more, you know, since its already so darn expensive), and the shoppers, for some reasons, are infected with the Christmas spirits that everyone seemed to be in such a good mood.
Case in point, look at the pictures below on the Christmas decoration around the shopping mall in KL/PJ area.

Actually, after looking at these pictures, I think I will go to Time Square KL. It is the only place that seem less lavish and obviously the mall management does has a conscious about spending on this Christmas season. The space is vast yet the decoration is only just a small portion of the whole area, so it looks depressing, just like my mood.
Time Square KL it is then.
Decoration attracts X’mas shoppers.
Just be another happy shopper =)
It is very true that these decoration are very attractive and certainly it create an ambience that attracts shoppers. But I am just not in that kind of mood. I mean, all the merry merry thing because I don’t feel merry at all.
