Sweet Darling

Seriously.. I'm so nervous and excited.. and happy.. and worry.. and excited again.. and nervous again.. Such a mix-feelings that I couldn't describe... I guess, everyone could tell what it is.. yeahh.. it's about Ramadhan..

Owh..like a princess waiting for her knight in charming armour... yaa.. so nervousss...

Ramadhan..ramadhan..ramadhan... really miss it.. and I love ramadhan here.. It's weird.. I'm in a foreign land where the majority are not muslims and they won't be fasting... but I do love ramadhan here.. It's not that my Ramadhan in Malaysia was bad anyway.. of course it's lovely.. expecially to be with my family.. to pray at Al-Qayyim.. it's great..

but here.. in Melbourne.. it's different...it's just different...

it's the thing at heart..

the steadfastness.. it makes a whole lot of differences... being aware of so many temptations around.. it makes one strives harder than never...

and

ramadhan nights here are the greatest nights I ever experienced in my whole life so far.. I love praying tarawikh here.. eventhough in a small little room in RMIT (since our prayer room was taken back by the school).. sometimes it's really packed.. but again...

it's the thing at heart....

ICV is another great place to pray tarawikh.. the Imam.. mashaAllah.. eventhough I couldn't really understand all the ayahs since my arabic is very very very basic and poor.. but.. his voice..his rythm.. it touches heart at the deepest...

it's the thing at heart....

latenights.. just in my little bedroom.. underneath the moon shadow that penetrates through the window... it's just feel different...

it's the thing at heart....

food! .. hahaa.. yes.. of course its very exciting to break fast here.. one night with arabs delicacies, next with indian's briayani, next.. the next in turkish mosque with.. turkish food whatever it's called.. a list of iftar invitations to fulfill... sound superb, right? but it's not just about food.. it's about the ukhwah.. it's about meeting other muslims that we might never had a chance to meet in other month.. it's about mingling.. sharing meals.. and feeling united..

it's the thing at heart...

I could never be able to describe it... never... it's the thing that u feel.. then u know...

Just one more day to wait... Allahumma balighna Ramadhan... May this coming Ramdhan will be the best Ramadhan for me.. as I know not.. that it might be my last....

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...
