Makhluk Progresif

Manusia.
Kita makhluk progresif. Atas sebab itu, kita berubah-ubah… hati, perangai, rupa… perubahan terbesar adalah pada hati… hati yang berubah, membuatkan sikap juga berubah…dan dalam banyak keadaan, turut diikuti dengan penampilan. Ada orang tak mahu berubah, cuba menentang segala perubahan… well, you can be like Miss Havisham in Great Expectations… you can stop all the clocks in you possession… but you can never halt time… or maybe you can cover up you wrinkles with botox or thick foundation and powder, you can dye your graying hair… tetapi untuk setiap saat yang berlalu, kita tetap semakin tua… dan akhirnya, kita akan berubah.. dari makhluk hidup, menjadi jasad tak bernyawa… tinggal ruh yang akan bertamu di hadapan Pencipta….dan mati itu pasti…

Harapan.
Harapan wujud dalam banyak peringkat dan keadaan. Orang yang selalu bangun tidur lewat, berharap esok dapat bangun lebih awal, orang yang jatuh cinta hari ini, berharap akan dapat menikahi cintanya, seorang pelajar senibina, berharap dalam tempoh sesudah tamat pengajiannya, dia akan menjadi arkitek…. Dan harapan tertinggi, setiap muslim…pasti mengharapkan syurga Penciptanya… syurga yang tertinggi, Al-Firdaus.

Perubahan.
Apakah jenis perubahan yang diharapkan? Jiwa yang normal, pasti mengharapkan perubahan yang positif. Mahu jadi baik dan lebih baik. Ada orang kata, it’s not about ‘mahu jadi baik’… it’s about ‘kena jadi baik’… well, I think both are necessary. Pertama, kita tahu… Kedua, kita sedar… Ketiga, kita mahu… Kalau hendak seribu daya, buat seribu cara… Cumanya, untuk berubah kita memerlukan kekuatan… dan kekuatan itu datang dari Tuhan, selalunya melalui persekitaran… bagi sesetengah orang, apa yang diperlukan bukan seorang jurulatih di hadapan untuk memberi arahan bagi segala tindakan… tetapi seorang teman, yang sama-sama berpimpinan tangan ke arah kebaikan yang diinginkan. Bersama-sama mencari dan memahami… bersama-sama mempersiapkan diri untuk perubahan terbesar dan mencapai harapan tertinggi.

Pilihan.
Setiap hari kita dihadapkan dengan pelbagai pilihan. Mahu pakai baju apa, mahu makan apa, mahu suka siapa… Dan kata orang, ukur baju… biarlah di badan sendiri… bukan sahaja saiz, tapi juga corak dan warna… kadang, dua beradik pun boleh berbeza warna kulit, sekalipun sama saiz badannya… baju yang sesuai dikenakan oleh kakak, belum tentu sesuai untuk adiknya… dan sepanjang perjalanan hidup ini, citarasa juga berubah-ubah… lalu pilihan juga berubah… tapi ada jenis pilihan yang tidak ditelan zaman… misalnya sepasang kasut yang sesuai untuk pelbagai majlis, formal atau santai.. juga memberi keselesaan… Atau mungkin pilihan yang berubah sama dengan kita… seperti tali pinggang banyak lubang… sudah makin montel pun masih boleh terus dipakai… Ada orang pandang jauh, buat pilihan untuk masa depan… misalnya, membeli suit mahal untuk interview tiga tahun lagi… sekarang tak boleh dipakai, sudah tiba masanya… sudah tidak muat pula…

Realistik
Apapun, kita harus realistik… berpada-pada… buat pilihan yang kena… letakkan matlamat berperingkat… sedikit demi sedikit, kita berusaha ke arahnya… bersama… sambut tanganku… dan kita bergerak sama ya…

Sekian.

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...
