Raya Decor at The Curve
I have only been able to see a couple of decorations for Raya this year and the two had been impressive. The first of them was at The Curve in Mutiara Damansara, a place which he go often when we stayed in Gombak, but not so often now.
Such a welcoming sight

On the second day of Ramadhan, while I was still on leave, Anita followed me for my ward rounds and we straight away drove to The Curve from Subang, enjoying the hassle free late morning traffic. The Curve was still empty when we reached there and the shops were just being opened. While Anita was off looking at the shops and clothes, I went about checking out the decorations.

The Vespa sure brings back memories …
Be sure to play with old slippers. The new ones were hard and tend to hit and hurt the shin.
Another old classic. And for some reason, the girls tend to be better at it!
The theme here was of innocent kampung lives, succinctly described in the theme, “Kenangan Manisku”, translated as “sweet memories”. The used cardboard cutouts and colourful background depicting children activities in kampung before the advent of gadgets and console games. I came from that generation and could relate to the games and activities on display. There was “spinning tops”, “tarik upih”, “baling selipar” and “lompat getah” to name a few. I could still remember doing that, spinning tops and playing marbles on dusty lawns in hot sun. Happy times ...
Gasing! Not for the faint-hearted!
I tended to have to do the pulling …

The whole concept was spot on, and I am sure that the place would be the talk of the town in the coming weeks. Kudos to the team behind the decorations. They did well ...
