Snake Year Chinese New Year Half Day Trip - Part 3: iCity, Shah Alam (16 Feb 2013)

Today is Chap Goh Meh day 元宵节 also the last day of Chinese New Year and also the Chinese Valentine's Day. Today is also my lucky day!! Haha... This is because initially we wanted to go to Time Square shopping mall and passed by Pavilion shopping mall just to take some pictures. Then, we saw there was a lucky draw session and lion dance performance. Since no purchase was required in order to participate in the lucky draw, therefore we just tried our luck.

According to the schedule, after we tied the wish message cards on the Bridge of Prosperity 开运桥 at the auspicious time 吉时 (2:30 pm), then the lucky draw will be started. We was just reached there on time and waited only around 10 minutes. There was only 3 prizes for the lucky draw which worth up to RM 500 for each prize. Normally, lucky draw gifts are non of my business, so I was busy preparing my hand phone camera in order to take photos of the lion dance that would be crossing the Bridge of Prosperity 开运桥. Who knows suddenly I heard my name announced by the emcee as the second lucky draw winner!! I was surprised and walked to the stage from the Bridge of Prosperity 开运桥 which just beside to the stage to collect my gift! Haha... What a lucky day for me!! Yay!! Happy day! :D I wish my luck will continue in the future...

OK... Back to the post's topic - iCity at Shah Alam. This is the last stop for our Chinese New Year Half Day trip. We reached there around 8:30 pm and there was still a few rain drops. But, we felt excited to see the light effect at iCity and our mood were not spoilt due to the bad weather...

I forgot to bring my flash light for the camera, therefore most of the photos can't really see myself clearly... I was really fascinated by the light effect at iCity, and I felt like I was in a fantasy land :) Although Christmas Day was over, we still spotted a huge Xmas tree and a few snowmen there.

After spending around 1 hour plus there, by the time we stepped out the gate of iCity, we spotted a few big beautiful fireworks there!! We viewed the fireworks for about 10 minutes in quite a near distance! It was really a good experience and memory for the Chinese New Year!
