A pyramid is a TOMB in Egyptians' term;
The Pyramid is the "pyramid laRR!" in Klang Valley.
They replaced the no-nose Sphinx with a shiny-eyed lion;
the Egyptian figures carved on walls carry shopping bags.
pyramid pyramid pyramid~!
ARGH!
So S.Pyramid is the nearest arcade between so many colleges,
so so many people lives near S.Pyramid,
so S.Pyramid has a S.Lagoon,
so - so what!?
My brother went to S.Pyramid for class gathering yesterday
& for gang's excursion in its stupid lagoon today
and i fetch him
TO-AND-FRO;
TO-AND-FRO
tired of that stupid traffic jam
tired of that stupid highway
tired of those stupid bunch of kids who cross the roads as if cars would emergency break for them
tired of those tasteless (why did they bother spending anyway!?) x'mas deco.s at the exterior
tired of that careless, GRATUITOUS facade and column "details"
tired of the delusive floor plans or extensions (hey- customer circulation & spatial organization please?? *knock knock @^#$*)
tired of the low ceilings and that confinement (claustrophobia indirectly induced by the muddled, untidy spaces and hostile lack of directions at some points)
tired of that FAKE, defiling "representation" (ARGH!!) of the honorable monuments of the archaic refinement
tired of how roads overlap & swoop up down left right 180degrees 360degrees around that building and its tired neighbours
tired of how superficial that building is
i can't say it made Klang Valley's stressed out college-kids' and adolescent's life unimaginative
its unfair - it has an ice-skating ring in the hot, stuffy, flooding and land-sliding Malaysia, it runs an artificial surfing tide and big plastic slides and brightly-painted roller coasters, it has loads of nite-hangouts, bowling arcade, movies and popcorns, archery, ice-creams, TGI Friday......
i can't say it doesn't meet entertainment and leisure demands
i can't say S.Pyramid shouldn't exist
The contents are desserts, beers, a place for kids to yell: "EXAM'S OVER!!!"/"RECESS!!!!"
Its just the sight
that urban planning
that maintenance and "upgrading"
the frivolous act of building
the rubbish
...that makes me wana puke
