The Sunway Resort City, namely Sunway Lagoon, Sunway Pyramid and Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel and Spa held a Celebration Year End Parade beginning from the Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel and ending with literally a big bang of daylight fireworks... However a change of good weather to heavy drizzle made the organisers change their route a little. The parade went through the short cut from the Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel to Sunway Pyramid and to Sunway Lagoon, as opposed to the original plan of using the main road.
Little daughter with the Lagoon express train filled to the brim with balloons but this train did not get to join the parade because of the change of route...
A strange medley of characters.. Captain and Lady Quack, a dwarf( from the Snow White and the Seven Dwarves Musical), a Pharaoh, Elvis.. making their way to the starting point of the parade..
Another picture as the characters pass us by. Anne was delighted to see them, as only a child could but her mom was also happy being a trigger happy (camera) person and a child at heart...
After this picture, little daughter and I walked towards the Sunway Lagoon courtyard area.
This was the sight that greeted us. A huge balloon drop consisting of 2000 balloons willed with surprise gifts in some which are shopping vouchers, tickets to Sunway Lagoon theme park, vouchers for buffet hi tea, dinner and even hotel stays were up for grabs.
Little daughter posing in front.. Love the pic as it was colourful!!
The crowd gathering and waiting for the parade to arrive ...
And the balloon drop with all the prizes were just too irresistible to be left alone as well..

Well, they had the balloon drop at this point and since I was focusing on the daylight fireworks, I kind of missed it. The crowd near the balloon drop showed the ugly side of some people who snatched up as many balloons as they could and even shoving and stepping over a couple of children, despite the organizers asking them to allow the kids to have the first go of the balloons...
When I got back to the mall, I saw a couple of these greedy people busily going through their spoils. And they really got a lot!!! at least 10 pcs of vouchers etc... ahh.... the selfishness of some people...
