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...

Creepy Me in my Poems

For the first time in my architecture-life, I'm bringing my poems into architecture. What's more interesting is, I use my poems in their original form, by this I mean, in Malay language. Now everybody in my class knows how Malay language sounds like. ahaha... The project is pretty much investigating the space between poems. The atmosphere of hearing two poems recited simultaneously. Sounds that make space, space that's defined by sound. Seriously, I don't really know how it'll work out... but hey, just having some experimentation with stuff a bit off-architecture... a break from my headache major project. Plus, I kinda enjoy making people listen to my poems without expecting them to understand a word... rather then, reciting to a bunch of people who understand but couldn't 'appreciate' them... and yeah, I receive some flattering comments from 'mat-salleh' course mate like... "when something is well written, even you can't understand it.....

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...
