Year Of The Cat At 1 Utama 2010

January 27th, 2010 - Wednesday

The theme for Chinese New Year at 1 Utama Shopping Centre is cats, not just any cat but the famous Maneki Neko from Japan. Wait a minute! There is no cat in the Chinese zodiac. There is a tiger but are they the same? Nevermind that. Being cat persons and being collectors of the Maneki Neko figurines, Wuan and I had fun taking photographs of these giant feline sculptures at the Oval of 1 Utama.

    The management of 1 Utama Shopping Centre spent a lot of money and effort in creating these cats. Kudos should go to them. :)
