Step Into Another Dimension

A group of cops cautiously explore the giant pixelated space they stumbled into. Is this a scene from a new science fiction movie based on Stargate and Tron? Or were the cops on a lighted disco dance floor of the 80s?

It is actually the concourse area of the new 1 Mont Kiara Mall this afternoon. I was looking at the simple but elegant chequered floor from above when the cops walked in on routine patrol. They added a nice dash of colours and deliberate overexposure yielded the fantasy look.

Incidentally, Olympus Malaysia’s HQ, showroom and well-equipped service centre is located on the office tower above.

It is Olympus Malaysia’s 10th anniversary and they have just moved to their own premises on the tenth floor of the new Menara 1MK at 1 Mont Kiara Complex. Spanning some 10,000 sq feet, the new office-showroom-service centre is not only spacious but impressively designed, too. Join me on this exclusive pictorial tour of the facility…

From Dusk To Dawn: Zombie Romp

Thrill The World is the annual line-dancing event for zombies that began back in 2006 at Toronto. Last year, it set a new world record when 22,571 zombies from 33 countries   danced simultaneously to the official zombie anthem, “Thriller.”

Since Malaysians have a penchant for setting bizarre records, they took to the feat like Michael Jackson to skin whitening products…

Saturday, 7:oo pm: At the Sunrise Fun Zone Community Centre in Mont’Kiara, the kids have the most fun where they dressed for the Halloween theme.

I like local events synchronised with other cities around the world. Otherwise, no typical Malaysian event will ever begin on time. This one started on the dot, as scheduled.

What was wonderful about the Sunrise Mont’Kiara event was that half the participants were kids. And they were all really enthusiastic.

Sunday, 7:00 am: At Dataran Shah Alam, zombies suffering from insomnia were seen rising early on a non-working day. There was no graveyard mist though.  Instead, plenty of haze from the dying rainforests of Sumatra engulfed the walking dead.

The same bunch of good zombies from last year’s Thrill The World Shah Alam were hopping about at Shah Alam again. See my coverage and pictures from last year here.
