November 1st


It's November 1st, not much of thoughts, just feel a bit fazed by the day.

The fact that I'll be sitting for Chinese language written exam flusters me with worries, yet I'm extremely excited as im going home soon..inshaAllah and ya, my design portfolio is a bit more to go. Anyway, this will be my first final exam since I'm here. Well, in architecture, we don't have exams and Chinese language is just my elective subject which is non-architectural, frequently..people tend to say we got it easy..but Allah knows, its tough.. with ample amount of works, presentations every weeks, and every end of semester almost all architecture students would suffer from sleeping and eating disorder due to the preparation for the final crit..haha..but Alhamdulillah, it didn't happen to me though, this semester.. heee~anyway, i believe, every subject has in own difficulties, and the best part is, with every difficulty comes relief.How just is He! However, I find exam is a bit of a hassle, not to say studying...probably because its very rare to me, and probably because the subject I'm doing is language, maybe its just Chinese language!..haa..I don't know but, I prefer presentation rather than exam.. hee~ love architecture!!! Alhamdulillah..Alhamdulillah..Alhamdulillah.. Allah gives me what is best for me.. Owh, He knows me so well! (big smile) Maybe i should do elective from architecture school next time..

Thursday final crit (end of semester presentation) went quite well, Alhamdulillah..with the efforts me and my mates had put on, we couldn't ask for more. Allah had given us what we deserved, maybe more than we do. Now. just gotta get my portfolio done and....shoppingggggggggggggggg!!!!!! haha.. owh ya, i forgot..i gotta study chinese..grrrrrrrrr! ya, but i could still do some shopping in between..haha.. lots and lots and lots of things to shop.. i have a big family.. err, well maybe not really big..but ya...i have many nephews and nieces! i need to get them some souvenirs..u know, kids, the must have been expecting something from me.. and I'm not gonna disappoint them..trying to be a good aunt..haha!

Okla.. Gotta continue doing my stuff, portfolio etc...maybe go for shopping, haha..yes! maybe i should go to borders.. i got my eyes on a book called Mao's Last Dancer, a true story during communist reign (I don't fancy fiction).. I wanted to buy it yesterday, but the queue was toooooooooooooo long..so i decided to go some other day.. maybe today..hee.. besides, it has been almost a week since i finished my last book and i'm craving for more books now. Reading is the best entertainment!

Next week, at this hour, I'll be home..inshaAllah.. (big smile)

Transition

Sometimes I wonder if I would still blog after I go back for good since it always turns out that I don’t really blog whenever I return to Malaysia. I’m back in Melbourne again. Despite everything I said about this place. I'm always thankful that I’m studying here. 8 hours is long enough, can’t imagine going further. Let alone going back during a short winter break like I just did. Haha… However, regardless how good Melbourne is, coming back here is never easy. It is not the place, it’s the transition. Travelling is tiring. Yes, like yesterday, I had to take two flights, one from Penang to KL, then KL to Melb, it is a lot more tiring for someone like me who could barely sleep in a plane. That’s why I enjoy traveling during the day and taking a window seat. I enjoy day dreaming while staring at those fluffy white clouds. Haha.. Weather change changes everything. I had never went back during winter before. So that was my first time experiencing an abrupt change from a...

Well, 2 posts in a day... the reason is.. well, no particular reason, my previous post was on the world current issue and this is on my current issue.. it's a warm summer night which restrains me from shutting the window and makes the free melody from the jazz club next door sounds louder than ever... I was really trying to do my tech assignment, trying to figure out the structure and bla..bla..bla.. but sticking my brain on that for the whole day really exhausts me...so, i decide to write a post... Last night, i had a chat with a friend, Malaysian Chinese who is a christian, well, i consider him as a religious christian as he himself proclaimed that he is religious. Anyway, religious or not, that wasn't my main concern.. But, what was really provoking is that he proudly announced that he loves Israel. I know, everyone has own right to side in any side he prefers. But, for him who is, I suppose should be able to see right from wrong, shall be able to tell who is the villain and...

Against all odds...

I haven't written about school in here for moons... So, I have a couple of things to share... To begin with, I'm currently doing a design studio called Woven... The studio is basically about making beautiful building.. well, it does sound very general.. Every studio sort of has that intention... Anyway, but the different is, what is behind the design.. I mean, the driving idea... because it could be, the site, programs, occupants etc..etc... but for this studio.. It focuses more on the structure... How does the structure influence the design in making it a good and beautiful building... It's about the relationship between the structure and ornaments.... does structure itself serve as the decorative element of the building.. or is it traditional and the decorations stay independent from the structure... It is a decision to be made... Initially, I was really excited about the idea of making the structure ornamented and beautiful.. so instead of serving as structure, it could...
