Since Saturday, I had been busy doing my Christmas shopping. I have a long list to complete within this week. I wanted to get into the Christmas mood and what better way to do that than to go where there's lotta Christmas trees and hear Christmas songs...in busy shopping malls.
Shopping malls had started displaying their Christmas decorations right after Deepavali. Brightly lit Christmas trees are everywhere. Christmas carols are being played over and over. People rushing around with bags of gaily wrapped gifts. Ah....the season of commercialized Christmas has arrived.
I was strolling from shop to shop on Level 2 in Berjaya Times Square, window shopping, enjoying Christmas carols when sounds of drums reached me and stopped me right in my track. I had arrived at a shop that was playing chinese new year songs! Huh? I'd say it's about two months early. And it was the only shop, in a row of shops, playing chinese song . The unexpectedness of it brought a smile to my face. Only in Malaysia. How wonderful is that?
