A Walk in the Walk

It is either great minds think alike, or Miss Tho Xin Yi travel into year 2050 to read this blog and come back to write about it.

I actually would have blogged about the Taylor's Walk quite a while ago, if not because of the lousy connection in Ipoh. Now that she beats me to it, I would have to edit my draft and cite her work or I would be deemed of implying her written work into my own work without her acknowledgment much like the case of the not-so-thin guy.

Although I'm pretty sure I don't get any information from her (I think).


To begin, I went back to the main campus the other day to catch a glimpse of the walkway. I want to see it with my own eyes how a RM125,000 above the half million ringgit mark (that's RM625,000 to you) investment would benefits the students, staffs, animals and society.

Well, that's what I would want to say, but the fact is I actually went there because I was damn free after handing all assignments. *Laughing sinisterly at STPM students* XD

But still, here's my two cents about the walkway.

I got nothing better to do
Firstly, students can jump ala SmashpOp due to the huge space available. Or better, students can conduct their activities like smoking and drug-trafficking safely without worrying about getting hit by cars.


Secondly, giant pandas can safely eat all the bamboos available at the walkway without worrying about getting hit by cars.

Please don't say we look similar
Thirdly, it got a watermelon, although I don't know how it fits into our topic. But still, no need to worry about getting hit by cars! XD

Ok, enough of getting hit by cars I have to, because you guys would kill me if I continue. Let's see this walkway from a more serious point of view. Forget about the story that it increases the traffic flow. The problem is still there and always will be. So I rather look at another feature of the walkway, which was as reported by Tho (2007), the police beat base.

Tak kenal, kenal, tak kenal, tak kenal, tak kenal
According to Tho (2007), which is actually according to Subang Jaya OCPD ACP Zainal Rashid Abu Bakar, the police beat base was built to enhance the security around the area as the crime rate is pretty high. With only above-average families can afford the fees studying in Taylor's, I would be surprised if there is no crime at all. But that's a topic for another day. :P

I don't disagree with the statement regarding the crime rate, as I have heard of a lot of crimes happening in this area, most notably my friend punya friend who was a victim of the silliest robbery in the world (refer to the entry on April 12, 2006). Seriously, I didn't know that we can engaged a parley/negotiation with the robbers to exchange a laptop for, of all things from apple to zebra, a handphone and escape unharmed. -___-

With the police around, hopefully such silly robbery by the robbers (but lucky escape by the victim) would never happen again. But then again, it is the police from our country we are talking about. You know, the Malaysian police which has over 250 videos related to them regardless good or bad but mostly bad on Youtube as by November 20, 2007.


.....

Ok, we are as good as dead.
