Christmas season at the malls!

Ho ho ho! It is the season of merriment again, the most pretty season of the year. :) Christmas is coming really soon, so MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody! Nowadays, shopping malls are almost competing with each other to come up with the best and most beautiful Christmas decorations. I was in KL last weekend and visited three different malls. (What else was there to do? :P) I shall now present you my mini compilation of pictures taken from the various Christmas decorations at the malls.

1. Mid Valley Megamall
The first tree I took picture of was near MPH bookstore, where there was a HSBC booth set up. The tree was themed Red, which matched HSBC's booth colour.

The trees at the Centre Court were impressive. Very gigantic and lots of lights and ornaments. Very Christmas-sy. :)

Never forget to take picture of yourself. ;)

Random and irrelevant picture, so let's move on. :P

Look, my whole background was covered with the tree! It's either the tree was damn huge or my camera had very narrow angle. I'd like to think it was the former. :P

Look at the Centre Court from a different angle and you'd be blown away. Amazing!

2. One Utama
1 U's decoration was using white trees with cards on the floor. Simple and nice, but not as nice as Mid Valley's in terms of effort put in, I guess. And not nearly as colourful. :) But it still gave me the Christmas-sy feeling.

Did you notice the cards pasted on the floor?

3. The Curve
I must say, this was my favourite! I mean, there was practically a whole area used for landscaping. There were not only trees, but cute elves, dangling lights, molded/shaped bushes, etc. I spent the most time taking pictures here compared to the rest.

Oh, I love this arch/walkway!

Cute!

And this, my friends, is my favourite tree of all! I know it's not very complicated compared to the rest, but it must be the colour combination of it all. And don't forget its huge size with towering height.

My favourite tree!

Oh, reindeer in the house! Where's Santa?

Look at the cute elf and the giant rabbit there. I couldn't make out why was there a big rabbit? Maybe someone else could tell me why? :)

Finally, an elf giving a peace sign. So cool!

Peace y'all!

So which one do you think is the nicest? :)

I love Christmas, even though I don't really celebrate it. It's the season of joy, giving, merriment and not to forget... Shopping! I loved all the Christmas decorations everywhere! Merry Christmas everyone! *hugs*

Black magic?

I've always received mails about how people get 'spelled' from dark magic or spiritual forces, but I never knew that it is really true. Sometimes you really need own personal experience to actually appreciate what others have gone through, albeit how unbelievable they can be.

I have an uncle who recently retired. He was previously a manager in a well-known MNC. Anyway, about a few weeks ago, he went down with fever. At first it was a normal fever, then the temperature kept rising. Panadols couldn't help, same went with Chinese herbal tea... The temperature just didn't nudge, in fact, it went higher and higher... until at one point, my aunt got too worried and sent my uncle to the hospital. He was there under inspection for a few days, and at first the doctors blamed it on the Chinese herbal tea that my uncle took. All I can say is that, doctors being doctors, they would conveniently blame it on Chinese medicine whenever possible, so that it reflects how superior 'western' medicine is. Anyway, he stayed in the ward for a couple of days, but didn't seem to respond well to medication. He was then moved to the ICU for apparent reasons.

The doctors inspected him and mentioned something about his lungs filled with water. He was having difficulty breathing at times and his fever was still there. Things started to get worrying when he didn't get any better after a whole week in the ICU. His symptoms seemed to be changing daily, sometimes attacks to his lungs, sometimes his liver, etc. My aunt then got a Chiense qigong master to help look into my uncle. This master is very experienced and has been proven to heal people with his immense 'qi'. He has even cured patients with cancer before. So this master visited my uncle and tried to help him, but what he said surprised us all. He said he tried to 'pump' in his qi through my uncle's body but it wouldn't go through. What was most unbelievable was that the master said my uncle was casted with black magic, which was preventing him from healing. I really was skeptical at first when I heard the story... Could this really be true?

My aunt, of course, not letting go all options, asked around her friends for any known bomoh. She managed to find one and the bomoh confirmed of this dark magic casted on my uncle. Fortunately, he managed to 'exorcise' this magic away from his body, and also put on a 'shield' such as to prevent further attacks. My uncle's daughter, a.k.a. my cousin, is working in the UK, and she recently met with a serious car accident. Her car was crashed to the point of total loss, but fortunately she was okay. The bomoh heard about this and said that it could part of the black magic's power as well, perhaps it was casted to hurt the whole family. It really gives me goosebumps just to type about this. My uncle was much better after the 'treatment' and we're all glad that he's improving now. I'm sure my cousin was scared the hell out of her... being alone in the foreign country, and to know that she herself was vulnerable to this spell.

We still did not manage to find out who in the world would cast such a horrible spell on my uncle. Our initial suspect is probably someone who got retrenched from my uncle's ex-company previously, and wanted to retaliate. Well, I must say this is really spooky, and it goes to show that extraordinary powers really do happen. At the end of the day, it is really much much safer to be in the good books of other people, rather than to make enemies.

To everyone reading this post, I really hope to get feedback from you guys if you have encountered personal experience before as well. Thank you in advance!
