Joining them were members of the media and a host of shoppers and guests.
This year’s theme at the mall is “Blooming Bliss” depicting the oriental spring blooms as it marks the beginning of celebration of happiness, abundance and prosperity.
The mall;s central atrium has been transformed into a blooming bliss garden, filled with cherry blossoms, red lanterns, butterflies and a porcelain shaped hut as the centrepiece. The enchanting flowers are also retractable, opening their beautiful petals for visitors to admire the blossom.
The sea of red and pink colours gives visitors a feel of vibrance and energy in keeping with the celebration for all. Meanwhile, the porcelain figures which have its origin from ancient China are a much revered treasure, synonymous with royalty.
