Durian


Assalamualaikum

Aku mahu bercerita... semalam aku makan durian!

Semalam, rakan serumah bernama Oya.. teringin nak makan durian... lalu beliau pun membeli... memandangkan aku si anak kampung ini tahu mengopek durian... maka dapatlah turut serta makan sama... secara percuma... heee...terima kasih Oya...

Ah... alangkah nikmatnya dapat makan durian.. alangkah teringatnya pada kampung halaman... Di Malaysia, lebih spesifik... Penang... Lebih spesifik, Bukit Mertajam.... lebih spesifik... Mengkuang... rumah aku dipagari pohonan buah tempatan... punya manggis, rambutan, langsat (Oya kata, kalau 'duku' ada 'dukung', 'langsat' ada 'langsang' tak?  -_-"), betik, pisang, duku, rampara (pulasan tapi dah nak mati pokok tersebut, tak tahu sama ada masih berbuah atau tidak), ubi kayu (susah rupanya mencabut ubi kayu, pernah disuruh ayah kerana mahu diberi pada jiran mengandung yang teringin, takkan nak biar makcik tu yang mencabut pula), sawa, seghawa (buah mentega) dan juga durian.... itulah... seronok berumah di tengah dusun.. masih menikmati kasih sayang arwah tok wan sekalipun beliau telah sekian lama pergi...

Teringat kenangan mencari durian sewaktu musimnya... teringat si abang yang suka makan durian atas bumbung rumah tok... oh, teringat durian duri halus paling dekat dgn rumah yg susah amat dikopek, tetapi teramat sedap rasanya.... teringat juga kesedapan rangupnya durian mangkar yang hanya berpeluang makan apabila apabila ada dahan patah kerana terlalu berat menahan berat buahan yang bergantungan...

Dahulu.. waktu musim.. boleh lagi memilih mana buah mahu di makan.. banyak karenah, buah pokok ini suka.. buah pokok itu tidak... sekarang... hahaa... hampir 10AUD (aprox. RM30) sebiji... T_T

Sekarang kalau pulang ke tanah air pun hujung tahun... bukan musimnya... alahai....

Rindulah pada waktu itu....

Ada orang tak suka durian... busuklah katanya... ah, tak kisahlah... terpulanglah... aku tak suka taugeh, rasa macam plastik!

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...
