jalan-jalan kuala lumpur

i've always had this thing that i wanted to do before i die 

oh and i'm gonna talk about boring architecture stuff in this post

hahaa . ya it sounds so cliche but hell yeah i have this list of things i wanted to do 

one of it is to feel/touch/see the-must-see historical buildings in malaysia 

call me boring/old fashion but i love the buildings that made up kuala lumpur 

so the other day 

i went to dataran merdeka 

tourist destination by day 

tempat lepak rempit by nite 

it really serves to function the community till this day 

this is dataran merdeka  

the key and prominent building is the bangunan sultan abdul samad 

view of the front facade of the building 

during my visit there was a construction going on 

and the front facade view was covered with 'khemah-khemah'

 the 'big ben' of malaysia 

if u r wondering why this building is pretty damn famous 

it is because it serves as backdrop to important events

in front of this building was where the'union jack' flag was lowered and the Malaysian flag hoisted for the first time 

built by british architect

A.C Norman and AB Hubbock 

to house several important government department back then 

now it houses the Commercial Division of the High Court of Malaya

so if u walk around the building u can see lawyers 

with their 'tahi cicak' clothing and strolling around with their black professional briefcase trolley bag 

influenced by moorish architecture 

hence , the arches 

built in 1894 completed in 1897 

i'm actually more amazed how they manage to complete this building for three years only 

the details in the building / the technology back then / and till now it is still standing 

as the centerpiece of kuala lumpur along jalan tunku abdul rahman

this is me walking around kuala lumpur .
 to be continued .
