Lye Huat Park(Garden).


  

Impromptu de-stress trip I took with my wife and my little girl. It was a hot day but it was needed. 
The park looked dead from the outside (maybe it was because we visited it at 2pm but hey...)

My daughter was picking a fight
with a soldier 


We were greeted by a platoon of terracotta soldiers/or at least Shih Huang Ti's bodyguards (I believe they were replicas though no information plaque were seen anywhere). Which one of the four is Emperor Shih Huang Ti? Its the one with the crown and some green snot  fungus under his nose.

This park is rather easy to locate but it is also the easiest to mistook it for a temple as the entrance looks like one. But it figures though as most of the artifacts are actually from China.

And by the way the park is also a Mini Zoo. I don't for how many animals but it was quite a number.

 I skipped some of the animals, most of the birds were in cages. But I like those that I took of a tiger. I guess it was lunch time for them too. It was actually sitting under the shade when I first stopped at his pen the moment he saw me he actually got out of the shade and started prowling at the edge of the water, and guess what? The pool's width was only about 6 feet between me and the tiger. My wife and my daughter?

10 feet away from me.  better safe than sorry. =)

Funfair is in Town

The thing about photography is that you will never get the same shot twice. Any attempts to recreate any shots you have taken before is futile.

I for instance foolishly tried to recreate the same shot at the pic I used for this blog's title banner of which I snapped last year at the same fair.


What I liked about most of that picture was that at the same time I snapped the spotlight was directed to only one of the ferris wheel's gondola.

That was the lesson of the day yesterday.

Like lightning, to see the same pattern again is next to never. But you will remain awestruck forever.
