P for Pavilion

After 6 years of the Bukit Bintang Girls School (BBGS) reallocation to Taman Shamelin Perkasa, the empty land opposite the luxurious shopping mall,Starhill has finally been occupied by yet another exclusive shopping mall;i.e. The Pavilion.

After much hearsays about The Gardens being much more posh than The Pavilion, I took the opportunity to see it for myself during Raya Holidays =)

Revisiting the place that used to be my high school gave me mixed feelings. I am utterly excited about how Pavilion's interior would looked like. At the same time, it makes me reminisce about high school years, particularly my first year. Arghh.. The feeling of being vulnerable when you were the new kid on the block and the "bullies" from the seniors during orientation were coming back to me now. And not forgetting the beginning of our self-discovery journey, especially when most of us were turning into little women at that time.

Anyways, 'nuff bout my musings already..

When I first stepped foot into Pavi, the first shop that I saw is Crystal Jade and boy, was I surprised!!! The interior design is gorgeous - very contemporary and chic! I love it!!!

As we walked further, there were more 'oohs and ahhs' from my mother and I ;-p

All the shops are like high-end stores, some even has 2 storeys!! Ok la,I'm a bit jakun le..Hehehe...

Pavi was a complete transformation from BBGS!!!

Don't believe me?? See it for yourself......

Now.....

No wonder there's some stench when I was in the area.....Muahahah

And then....

In my opinion, the government should retain this 106 years old heritage. BBGS is such a maginificent legacy, where millions of women had attended since the 19th century. It's sad to see the demolition of the building for comercial purposes.

Here's a tribute for my legendary high-school, BBGS:

The School Song

BBGS we pledge to thee,

Our love and toil in the years to be,

When we are grown and take our place,

As loyal women with our race.

Father in heaven who lovest all,

O help thy children when they call,

That we may build from age to age,

An undefiled heritage.

Teach us to bear the yoke in youth,

With steadfastness and careful truth,

That in out time thy grace may give,

The truth whereby the nations live.

Teach us delight in simple things,

And mirth that has no bitter springs,

Forgiveness free of evil done,
And love to all men `neath the sun.
