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...

Willful Ignorance

I was too busy with architecture for the last few weeks.. . haven’t really got a chance to get my head around what’s going on in the world, especially back home in Malaysia. I felt detached from reality. I felt like I was living in ignorance. I felt guilty. Therefore, since I finished my final presentation yesterday (still got 2 submissions coming though)… Today, I decided to take a day off from architecture. I went out for a good lunch with a friend, had some retail therapy… and came back, get on the internet and try to update myself with some of the current issues. I read. I read. I read and I read. As a result. I feel sick. And I still feel guilty, way worse… I feel guilty and hopeless for knowing things I could never really do anything about. I know... I know...I know I’m a little behind. But I still need to put more efforts in understanding the following issues, I’m feeling lost and mentally constipated just by reading one or two news/articles/blogposts about them. 1. ...

Kerja Tak Siap Lagi!

I guess one of the real problem with Malaysian Architecture is it lacks of publication even on the internet. I have been browsing for Malaysian architecture these few days and surprisingly I found that there are many amazingly great projects back home. I stumbled upon many photos of interesting designs that I wish I could dig further for my assignment. But it is frustrating that how brief most of the information is. I also wonder if having a website is such a big deal (expensive, is it?) since not many firms have a website, let alone a good one. Some websites I have to say are not inviting at all. Many use dark/navy blue as the primary color, why is it? I don’t hate blue, but it’s not tasty at all as an architecture website… I also found some real good architects who keep blogs, but the problem with a blog is, it depends on the updates. Therefore, even if it is a current project (since some projects run for years), but if the post was 7 months ago, the blog seems abandoned. Besides, it...
