This post should be my weekly assignment no. 15

Eyes on the screen and I feel like blogging.

Today’s lecture was on Russian constructivist… and here I go trying to write my weekly assignment on the topic… and it ends up…

Russian constructivists are those people who might like my duvet cover if they happen to see it. It is red in color… really strong red… with bubbles, no I mean circular patterns that scattered all over it… however, it is lacking of squares and strong lines.. But somehow, when I spread my duvet over my bed which is rectangular… I see those patterns framed by four strong lines… The circles are freely scattered but strictly bounded by the size of the bed… that reminds me of Stalin government of USSR…… but when I look at Saeng (my teddy) sitting at the corner of my bed… I think Stalin might not like him because he is cute but Stalin is not! 


Ok, let’s not get carried away by my ‘OTC’… (Once, I had a beloved uncle who taught me about OTC… it’s an acute syndrome that affects your brain position within the skull that causes some sort of insanity in your thoughts and behavior… in full, it is called ‘Otak Tak Center’)

My mind is everywhere…. I got flu and cough…. Sakit kepala also…

Life is pretty hectic and hair-wired recently.

Design
This thing called design could really make you fly high but sometimes… it could crash you to the bones…

Tutor(s)
The problem when you have two tutors in a studio is one could differ from the other especially when one is not around… and you don’t know which one you should listen to~

Student
When you are a student, you should not be stubborn… but you should listen! But I once, had a mentor who told me… “You can be stubborn when you are in third year and above”… hahaa.. so I’m now ‘besar kepala’ and that is where the problem comes… so padan muka!

Modernist
Did you know that my name could mean ‘modern’? Tak percaya ? Ask the Arabs! Still don’t believe it? Ok, fine.. take that as my middle name then….

Love
I think I really need to fall in love again… so that I could have the old passion again…. Mana pergi semangat berkobar-kobar itu?

Hypothetically speaking… I’ll get over this soon inshaAllah… and by that time I’ll be more enthusiastic… but for the moment… I’m so tired…. Dear my soul, turn to Allah so that you could find peace~

p/s; internet, kamu jangan buat masalah boleh tak? Hantar ke soviet union nanti baru tahu…

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...
