G.E.D.I.K

Herm... to begin with, I'm really not sure why I want to write on this.. Maybe because I have too much time...tired of reading or just feel like blogging...Anyway..I'm probably just curious... I heard... some people say.. "orang cute/cantik/lawa/handsome, 'gedik' tak apa..kalau hodoh 'gedik' org meluat"...

First of all, as far as I'm concerned 'gedik' according to Kamus Dewan 4th edition means
bp = tergedik-gedik lincah (bkn gadis); bergedik-gedik bergerak-gerak, terketar-ketar; menggedik-gedikkan menggerak-gerakkan (bahagian badan spt kaki dll sewaktu mengelamun); kegedikan keadaan (sifat) gedik: ~ tubuh badannya yg montok.

But I suppose, the word 'gedik' in daily conversation carries wider meaning than that.. correct me if I'm wrong..maybe it means..overacting, mengada-ngada, terhegeh-hegeh, melampau, terlebih manja,flirty etc... but whatever it means, it's negative... right?!

So.. is the statement above true?

I would say.. aesthetic sensibility usually gives special consideration towards beautiful things/people... so, maybe.. just maybe... misbehavior such as' gedik' is acceptable if the 'penggedik' is good looking...

BUT....
I wish I could make the font larger..

Good characters/behaviors beautify oneself... so, lets drop the gedik part and behave ourselves with great calmness :)

Nevertheless, 'gedik' is not really negative if it's used in the original context... as in, with the original meanings...

So.. I don't know.. whoever read this.. what do u think?

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...
