I opened my Friendster today and received this bulletin from Elaine Yap. Thank you and Elaine for writing this lovely epistle.
As we welcome the new shopping
centre,Pavilion KL occupying the spot
where our majestic, beautiful school
once stood a few years back before it
was demolished. Located in Star Hill
road in the heart of KL's bustling
shopping district; it offers a wide
range of choices in retail experience,
food, beverage and urban leisure.
This building is said to be the world-
class urban development comprising two
luxury residential towers, a
corporative office block and a high
end boutique hotel which all together
add up to a total gross built area of
3.68 million square feet. WOW! Didn't
it ever occured to you, fellow
BBGSians that our school was situated
in such a huge and valuable land? The
1.4 million square feet of net
lettable retail space which house 450
outlets in 6 precincts -Bintang
Circle, Gourmet Emporium, Couture,
Connection, HOME and Seventh Heaven is
like reminiscent of our school days
where our school were divided in few
blocks; the prouse wing; above our
school canteen, the clinic block, our
school hall, gymnasium and great
majestic green field .It is kind of
sad to see our alma mater no
more;somehow replaced by this ultra
posh retail outlet. The main entrance
of the Pavilion reminds me of the main
entrance of our alma mater. Remember
the drive thru area filled with
lush,tall palm tress where our parents
used to drop and fetch us from school?
Well,I surely remember that everytime
I see Pavilion KL now. Remembering how
our school used to be then. When you
happen to be enjoying your shopping
experience at Habib Jewels or your
local dish from Madam Kwan's. Do
remember our alma mater, BBGS within
the walls of Pavilion,KL. In Loving
memory of BBGS, the alma mater that
which once stood at Pavilion, KL and
will always be in our memories.
From,
BBGSian, Class of 1999
