Ramadhan = fasting
Fasting = Near Syawal
Syawal = need for new clothes
New clothes = shopping
Shopping = shopping malls
Shopping malls = Pavilion
Who haven't read about it?
(Elaine wrote a whatchamacallit just in case you don't know what Pavilion is and been living under a rock for the past couple of months)
Who haven't passed by it while driving on Jalan Bukit Bintang?
(I just did today...reminded me of QV and Federation Square in Melbourne. but somehow, i also saw, juxtaposed on it was our grand old school with its green lawn and lush palm trees)
Who havent been there?
(Me because i'm scared i just might take a chalk and start drawing Office Block and Clinic Block front facades on the grey-polished-uberposh-boring-like-everyotherbuildinginKL-wall/windows facing Jalan Bukit Bintang)
Who is with me?
bah....

i for one.. have never been there too.. well i guess u kinda know that fact already rite?
:P
Pavillion = monumental waste.
i love shopping malls but i just dont see why we need ANOTHER shopping mall.
plus, i still think the design could be better. especially since they already have a heritage building they could base they design on.
this is a story of a property developer that want the land, destroy the building that was on the land that they want, THEN employ an architect to design the building.
ANY good architect would incorporate a heritage design into a building because it would be something different than any other shopping malls that we already have. Imagine shopping at a place called Colonial Pavilion.
The only thing is, kinda weird to build an apartment with a single condo space with a price tags reaching to millions of ringgit on top of a colonial based designed shopping mall.
end of story: making big bucks.
prime example: Heritage Row.
why its so freaking popular: namely design that incorporates the new and the old.
its different to any other drinking places in KL or the world with its colonial design. old world jazz.
well as far as i know that shopping mall was built to cater it's occupants. meaning each shop inside is custom-built to the tenant's specification.
i think they can't do it with the old building as the base of the building.
yes. i am saddened to see the school go away. it's been around since forever. but who are we, malaysians when it comes to fighting for a good cause without money and old man (read: politician's) support.
i dunno when will i set foot on that mall. i dun see any reason why i should go there anyway. unless Sean John opens up a boutique there. :P
Meh. They're greedy bastards. 'nuff said.
