Malaysians are lucky to be able to live together harmoniously among the multi racials society with
different religious beliefs... enjoying diverse melting pots of delicious multi-etchnic cuisines.. 🎉
For other religion, most of us not celebrating christmas, but we enjoy the holiday that coming with every religious festive like eidul fitri, chine new year, deepavali and chrismas. Just like multi racial citizen and tourist alike visiting ramadan bazaar during ramadan season. Enjoy the multi cultural of Malaysia. 😊
This is the commercial aspect of Christmas. There are christians in Malaysia and they celebrate Christmas with church services, carolling & Christmas parades
They know what REAL CHRISTMAS is all about. There are no two Christmases. The commercialization of Christmas is a perversion from hell.
Do visit some churches for christmas deco especially in Melaka's Portuguese settlement. You can visit holy rosary church
a number of churches have huge christmas trees for deco. Do check them out as well
Welcome to Malaysia! Not sure how many days are you staying in Kuala Lumpur. You can buy the "Touch n Go" card from the ticket counter or from Touch n Go centre in Nu Central which is located next to KL Sentral. The card cost RM5 and you can top up the amount with RM10, RM20, etc. This card can be used for monorail, MRT or Rapid buses. There is a bus known as "Go KL". I think it's giving a free ride. At the end of your vacation in Malaysia, you can keep the card as a souvenir. You can also use it in your future trip to Malaysia. You just need to top up the money in the card. For better Christmas decorations, go to Mid-Valley Mall and Garden Mall is located beside it. Also go to Times Square located in Bukit Bintang area. Times Squares has a theme park inside the mall. Lastly go to Genting Highland, an hour journey by bus. It's cold there and you need to wear jumper or jacket. There is a casino and theme park there. There are 3 malls that are big and located further away from KL. These are Bandar Utama, IOI and The Mines. Last but not least go to the longest night market located in Taman Connaught. It's known as Connaught night market. These market is open on Wednesday only from 6.00pm onwards.
Welcome to Malaysia.
In every major malls, there is a food court where the price is cheaper than in a restaurant.
Near the KLCC/Petronas Twin Tower is Tapak Urban Street Dining - food trucks food. (walking distance from Petronas Twin Tower).
Do try eat satay in Kajang - take the MRT Kajang Line to Kajang Stadium stop. The Satay restaurant is across the street from the MRT Station.
Do try roti canai, char kuey teow, curry noodles, kaya toast (breakfast), nasi lemak, Ramly Burger.
Do try teh tarik (pulled tea) as well.
Take care.
U guys should eat the local delicacies. We have the Malay food, Chinese food, Indian food and many fusion food too. For authentic malay food you can go to Kampong Baru area. The last Malay Village in Central KL. It's abt 20 mins walk fr KLCC via the Saloma Bridge. You may try Nasi Lemak at Wanjo, Malaysian National dish, nasi kerabu at Kak Som and many2 more malay and indonesian food in Kampong Baru. Chinese food you can go to Lot 10 Food court in Bukit Bintang. Indian food you can eat at the Mamak Restaurants and there are many in the cities. Eat the famous roti canai, ranked 1st in the world. Middle eastern food in bukit Bintang area. And of course go eat at the Jalan Alor night market street. U can find many chinese food in the China Town area too😊. Pls note tht, u may gain weight here in Malaysia. 😅😅😅
Look at that gorgeous smile
Merry Christmas to both of you
Hi friend, welcome to Malaysia I'm so great to see the Christmas decorations at Kuala Lumpur.
Merry christmas guys..enjoy your stay in MALAYSIA..
Thank you ❤
The monorail is just one line. Try using the underground MRT & also the LRT systems to the other areas of KL. Refer to the subway map. Other Malls to visit are TRX (MRT TRX Station), Sunway Pyramid (LRT SJ7 Station BRT), Midvalley (LRT Abdullah Hukum Station). Or use Grab to get there.
IMHO Pavillion always offer great decoration for any feative celebration however, I do think that Mid Valley Megamall is the winner for this year's Xmas decorations.
Beautiful ❤❤
Happy Xmas to u both
Welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾🇲🇾
You guys are so cute together ❤️ I am excited for the Malaysia vlogs.
Aw thank you 💕
You missed out TRX mall. It's walking distance from Pavilion mall too.
You two should stop by Exchange TRX Mall, check out the Xmas decorations there. It is the newest Mall in Kuala Lumpur where the first Apple Store in Malaysia is located. There is also a very spacious garden on the roof. Only 15 minutes walking time from Pavillion Mall
So nice! We are going to KL for New Years😍What accomodation did you book there?☺️
Welcome to kuala lumpur Malaysia
The snow was fun😂😂😂.noiceee...Go to Mid Valley mall...its the longest mall in SEA and the Xmas deco is equally bougie just like you like it 😊...there's also an M&S in KLCC mall if you miss English cookies and puddings or food back home
I always love watching your videos you are truly amazing and inspiring ❤️ 😊
You'll find better food prices at the streets and other districts. Bukit Bintang has the highest cost of living as well. You still could find cheaper prices at hidden locations or hard to see stores though.
Try our local cuisine. Nasi Kandar (Indian mixed rice) at Hameediyah near Damascus, Mon Chinese Beef Roti near Jalan Alor or in Pavilion food court, Chicken Rice at Restoran Chee Meng, Nasi Lemak (make sure you try Beef or Chicken rendang) from Nasi Lemak Alor Corner in the mornings or Wanjo at Kampung Baru and Soong Kee Beef Noodles at Lot 10 Hutong (food court). You can also get Roti Canai (and varieties) from Indian restaurants. Ramly burger and Satay (meat skewers) from the street stalls in the evenings. Most of the food is spicy. For non spicy food, go for chinese.
A monthly mrt pass cost RM50.so how can a daily pass cost RM60? They should just put up a board to showing those daily rates,
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!! AWESOME VIDEO 😁
Thank you!! Have a lovely Christmas ❤

From Yule Christmastide To Christmas
Yule or Yuletide is a festival observed by the historical Germanic peoples. Scholars have connected the celebration to the Wild Hunt, the god Odin, and the pagan Anglo-Saxon Mōdraniht. It later underwent Christianized reformulation resulting in the term Christmastide
Winter Solstice. The Pagan celebration of Winter Solstice (also known as Yule) is one of the oldest winter celebrations in the world. Ancient people were hunters and spent most of their time outdoors
The custom of burning the Yule Log goes back to, and before, medieval times. It was originally a Nordic tradition. Yule is the name of the old Winter Solstice festivals in Scandinavia and other parts of northern Europe, such as Germany.
Italian Bishop Gives Children Harsh News: There Is No Santa Claus
You've been lied to, children heard from a bishop, the latest Catholic clergyman to try to take down Santa Claus and consumerism. Many Italians were not pleased.
Deers are rare in Malaysia....you can only find its deep in the jungle...😁
17:05 is the coffee really cost you that much? That's insanely high price
Like in the West, Christmas is the time for shopping. Shop until you drop. Not so much for Christians worshipping. 😊😊😊*
1 How Church Shifted Date of Christmas to Coincide with Winter Solstice Adityas
2 How the birth, death, resurrection and the second coming of Jesus is an appropriation of the ancient traditional belief of the death, resurrection and the second coming of the Sun during the passages of seasons, here (Winter Solstice and Christmas - A Journey into pre-Christian Traditions).
At Winter Solstice, now occurring on 21st December, the sun, as seen and felt from Earth, is at its weakest strength, giving us the shortest day and the longest night (in the Northern Hemisphere where many of the world's ancient civilizations are situated). Hence the Sun's passage through the Winter Solstice is celebrated in these civilizations of the world, as the death and resurrection of the Sun. From the Winter Solstice point, located in the apparent solar orbit in the sky of Earth, the Sun slowly moves to the Vernal Equinox (20th March) growing stronger, brighter and hotter which is in other words, the second coming of the Sun, i.e. its second orbit in the sky. But of course the Sun won't stop at a 2nd coming or a 2nd orbit, but continue this cyclic motion making 3rd, 4th, 5th and many more revolutions and 'comings' (due to the revolution of Earth in its orbit around the sun). But the Abrahamic theology picks and chooses from this evelic solar phenomena and attribute only one birth, death and resurrection to Jesus. It stops at the 2nd coming, ignoring the rest. This is much similar to the picking and choosing of Yahweh as the ONE AND ONLY ONE Abrahamic monotheist god, from among the many Gods and Goddesses like Asherah belonging to the ancient Canaanite pantheon.
3 The Samkalpa of a solar deity or a Sun-God, undergoing death and resurrection is first expressed in RgVeda, in the story of Märthända, the 8th son of Aditi. The Samskrit term Samkalpa stands for the collective super conscious expression of an idea or concept having a universal appeal, often wrongly translated to English as faith, belief or myth. This Samkalpa was later transposed to another son of Aditi viz. Mitra. The sons of Aditi are designated as Adityas, the Vedic equivalent of Sun Gods. The Sun God Mithra became popular in the Avestan and Roman literature as the god who was died and resurrected. In Abrahamic theology this Sun-God who died and resurrected turns into the son of god who died and got resurrected.
4 A few centuries ago Winter Solstice was occurring on 25th December. This was the reason why the birth of Jesus was fixed at 25th December. It is possible to calculate approximately when this date was fixed as the birth of Jesus, since it is possible to calculate approximately when the Winter Solstice was occurring on 25th December. The Winter Solstice shifts its position in sky by 1 degree in approximately 72 years.
Thus it takes 25,920 vears for the Winter Solstice to make 360 degrees or one revolution in the sky. This period is known to the modern science as the Period of the Precession of Equinoxes, its exact modern value being 25,776 vears. The precession of equinoxes occurs due to the precession of the Earth's spin-axis. This is also the time we arrive at if we add up one ascending Markandeya Maha Yuga of 12,000 years and one descending Märkändeva Maha Yuga of the same duration, with an interval between them. Märkändeya Maha Yuga is mentioned in the Mahabharata. It is a suitable time scale to locate human activity in Bharatavarsa since 12500 BCE, fully covering the Holocene period, in which we are now living
Since there are 365.25 days in a year (or approximately 360 days), 1 degree shift in the position of Winter Solstice in the sky is same as a 1 day shift in the annual calendar of 360 or 365.25 days. The ancients knew this correspondence between the sky and the annual calendar. They also knew the secret of the precession of the equinoxes. Since there is a difference of 4 days from December 25th to December 21st. we can calculate that Winter Solstice occurred on 25th December around 288 years ago i.e. in around 1729 CE
5 In Armenia, the Christmas is celebrated on 6th January, the remnant of an older Christmas date, made to coincide with the Winter Solstice when it was occurring at 6th January. In our calculation this will be around 1152 years ago i.e. in around 865 CE.
The Orthodox and Coptic Churches celebrate Christmas on 7th January, which is the remnant of the oldest extant Christmas date, made to coincide with the Winter
Solstice when it was occurring at 7th January. In our calculation this will be around 1224 years ago i.e. in around 795 CE.
Thus we have seen that there was never any fixed date of Christmas. The Church occasionally shifted the date of Christmas to coincide with the Winter Solstice, as it shifts slowly in the annual calendar (as well as in the sky) due to the precession of Earth's spin axis. This shifting of Christmas was done as part of appropriating the world-wide celebration of the Winter Solstice that were observed in the different ancient cultures in the northern hemisphere, in Asia, Europe and North America. The Church also openly admits that the exact date of birth of Jesus is unknown. The clues about seasons mentioned during the birth of Jesus rules out a winter season and indicates that he may be born in warmer climates, in summer or in early fall that are now experienced in March and April
6 Hence what the world wide community has to do now, is return back to the roots and celebrate this season of Winter Solstice as the festival of the sun-gods or the festival of the Adityas.
Rg Veda mentions about the 7 Adityas as Varuna, Mitra, Aryama, Bhaga, Amsa, Dhatri and Indra with Marthända as the 8th. Another name of Marthända is Vivasvat. Later Vishnu was added to the list making it 9. Finally the number became 12 and listed as Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman, Bhaga, Amsuman, Dhata, Indra, Vishnu, Pusan, Tvasta, Parjanya and Vivasvat. These 12 Adityás preside over the 12 divisions of the sky. The sky with its 12 divisions is mentioned in RgVeda as the Kalachakra, which is conceived as a giant wheel-of-time or as a giant natural sky-clock where the sun acts as its ONE AND ONLY ONE dial.
The three motions of the sun, viz. 1. its daily motion (containing sunrise and sunset) due to the rotation of Earth on its own axis, 2. its annual motion (containing Uttarayana and Dakshinavana, vizl the annual northern and southern movements of the sun) due to the revolution of Earth around sun and 3. its motion due to the axial precession of Earth (containing the ascending Märkändeva Yuga and the descending Markandeya Yuga, taking a total of around 25,920 years) can be deciphered from this Kalachakra (the Earth's natural sky-clock). This was well known to the ancients.
The Aditya Festival starts with the Winter Solstice, currently in 21st December and runs for 12 days. Each day will be celebrated in dedication to one of the 12 Adityas. The festival will end in 1st January, Below is an example of how Aditva Festival of 12 days can be conducted from 21st December to 1st January on every year
Who Don't Celebrate Christmas
Muslims
Christmas is a religious affair celebrating the birth of Christ, whom Christians believe to be the son of God, and a part of God Himself. Unlike our Christian brethren, Muslims don't ascribe to this belief.
Muslims believe, as the Qur'an states more than 25 times Y’shua or Esa as prophet not son of Allah but prophet of Allah. Allah has no son. Quran states Allah has taken neither wife nor son unto Himself
Muslims don’t necessarily believe that Jesus was born on Dec. 25, or even in winter for that matter. The Gospels make no mention of the date of Jesus’ birth and early Christians were not at all interested in the birth of Jesus.
Luke 2:7-8 does tell us that Mary had to give birth to Jesus outside in the open because there was no guest room available to her. The average low temperature in Bethlehem in late December is 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and it rains an average of 11 days in December . Muslims find it hard to believe that a woman could give birth outdoors in near freezing weather conditions while it was likely raining
Christian
Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas. Why not?
First, Jesus commanded that we commemorate his death, not his birth - Luke 22:19, 20.
Second, Jesus' apostles and early disciples did not celebrate Christmas
Third, there is no proof that Jesus was born on December 25; His birth date is not recorded in the Bible.
Fourth, they believe that Christmas is not approved by God because it is rooted in pagan customs and rites - 2 Corinthians 6:17.
Jews
To the Jews, it is easy to understand why they do not celebrate Christmas. For 2,000 years, Jews have rejected the Christian idea of Jesus as messiah. He was just a prophet
To them, Jesus did not fulfill the Messianic prophesies which are: Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28); Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6); Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease as it says "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2:4); Spread universal knowledge of the YHWH pronounce as Yahweh of Israel, which will unite humanity as one as it says that "YHWH pronounce as Yahweh will be King over all the world-on that day, YHWH pronounce as Yahweh will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9).
That’s the religion of Judaic Abraham people
The wise and the colonised native people too don't celebrate
