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...

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...
