Make way for luck and prosperity! Abreeza Mall welcomes the Year of the Water Dragon

KUNG Hei Fat Choi! January 23, 2012 marks the start of the Year of the Water Dragon.  In Chinese mythology, the Dragon is a creature commonly associated with happiness and good fortune.  This makes 2012 a great time for businesses, love and family, and what better way to celebrate great new beginnings but at Abreeza Mall!
Celebrating Chinese New Year for the first time, Abreeza has prepared a spectacular week-long celebration to welcome the Year of the Water Dragon.  The celebration kicks off with the loud and exciting Dancing with Lions and Dragons to usher prosperity to 2012.  See dancers in colorful lion and dragon costumes move to heart-pumping drumbeats that are believed to drive away bad spirits and welcome good luck.  Catch them parading through the hallways on January 23 at 1:30 PM.  Shortly after, watch the Wushu Exhibition and be amazed by the graceful movements and acrobatic jumps of this ancient form of Chinese martial arts.  The Wushu Exhibition will be staged at the Activity Center on January 23 at 4:00 PM.
Since the Water Dragon is a year of empowerment and change, why not start it with a little kindness that can effect a big change?  Share your blessings to The Charity Tree’s beneficiary, Children’s Hour, a non-profit, fund-raising organization that aims to provide marginalized Filipino children with a better life.  Your P100-donation will entitle you to pick a prize from The Charity Tree.  What’s more is you will also be entitled to a free fortune telling session that will give you a sneak peek of what’s in store for you this year.  Will your fortunes pick up, or will you have to be extra cautious this year?  Find out at The Charity Tree located at the mall’s 3rd Floor Exhibit Area from January 23 to 29.
Of course no celebration would be complete without food.  As one of the world’s oldest civilizations, China is home to food that has evolved and been perfected for thousands of years. Appreciate the history and deliciousness of Chinese cuisine at the Oriental Food Festival.  Savor sticky sweets for friendship, round savory snacks for wealth, and more at this food fest located at the mall’s Ground Floor Supermarket Hallway from January 23 to 29.
