Celebrating CNY 2014 with Doraemon

As the year of snake slithered away, the year of horse is slowly galloping his way in. On the eve of CNY, we had a sweet encounter with our childhood favourite cartoon character at KL Viva Mall. Yes! Doraemon exhibition is in Malaysia!

Doraemon is a robotic cat born in year 2112. He was yellow color originally. One day he accidentally lost his ear to a gluttonous mouse. He was very sad, down and blue. So he became blue in color. 


He carries lots of interesting gadgets in his 4D pocket. The exhibition showcase 100 pieces of his powerful gadgets. My favorite ones are Take-copter & dokodemo door. The first section exhibits life size Doraemon figurine carrying his gadget with short explanation. The second section is a Chapel holding matrimonial of Nobita & Shizuka. Although the duo never get to grow up in the comic series (to date they are still primary school kids since the comic first launched in the 60's), it was inferred numerous times that they married. The 3rd section is their neighborhood and snapshots of events happened around the other characters. There are also some 3D gadgets to take pictures with such as air cannon, take-copter, diminishing torch, cordless phone etc.




Time machine - The first gadget appeared in the comic


air cannon

Take copter - for tall people

Take copter - for short people

cordless phone

RM25 entrance fee is considered reasonable. But the merchandise is costly. 1 memory bread pillow cost RM50. T-shirt is at least RM45. All the stationery is overpriced. We can only afford to take pictures.
