"kancil or die"
--------------------
berjaya times square. i've never been there, and after much thought, i'm not terribly interested in going, either. now, all this may be said with a touch of pretentiousness, but...i've been to the real times square, walked along it, and stayed in the very city in which times square belongs to. this gawdy monstrosity [as elliot gould would say in ocean's eleven] that vincent tan has dreamt up doesn't really do any justice to broadway and 42nd. none at all. especially not if it's going to be frequented by girls in sunset rust and golfer hats, and boys in their own apparel of the 00's. no, i don't look down on the beng and the lian...lord, don't you remember my blog from last year that basically examined my fixation with them? it's just that...why couldn't they just call it something else? "times square", it's not. not. not. go to the real times square, if you ever get the chance...as a kid, up til now, if i can at least remember what it was about it that really did make me take up and notice, don't you think that a shopping mall, no matter how large, is undeserving and unfitting of its name? i guess you can only find out for yourself. as for me, i'm staying away, lord of the rings carnival or not. plus, i don't really want to be stuck in a traffic jam at the gates of kl's golden triangle. not at all. if i want enlightenment, i go to sungai wang --- and sungai wang, to me, is a brilliant place. not berjaya times square.

on a side note, small women driving cars inverse to their size are just hillarious. and scary.
