The Best Seat in The House(night 2)

Being this late is unforgivable. I know.
At the beginning of the week i was so slump with work.
Barely have time to catch a breath.

Night 2 was AMAZING. But not too many shots though.
Why? 1 pluralized sweet word.

KNOCK-OUTs baby!!!

Almost all the bouts didn't last to the final bout. It was a knockout galore, fights ended at round 1 mostly, few left standing.

 

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. =)

There are reasons for this post to be titled as such. The buildings I snapped, has been there ever since it was built. They went through wars and occasional renovations and they still stood tall to date.

Masjid Zahir built in 1912

Balai Besar (Balai Rong Seri) original structures built in 1735, was destroyed and rebuilt a few times. It was brought down by the Bugis invasion of 1770, and the same happened in the Siamese invasion in 1821. The present structure dates back to 1893, during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Shah.

Balai Nobat: The original Balai Nobat was built during the reign of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin Mukarram Shah, who reigned from 1854 to 1879. It had five floors and was constructed of stone and metal. During the renovation in 1906, it was reduced to three storeys. The Balai Nobat is topped with an Islamic-style dome.

Balai Seni Negeri (State Art Gallery). This building was the earliest modern government office that was built in the town of Alor Setar. Its construction was spearheaded by Muhammad bin Lebai Tambi, an architect from the Kedah State Public Works Department. The construction of the building began on 21 January 1893, and he was also responsible for the restoration of the Balai Besar building.
