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...

Well, 2 posts in a day... the reason is.. well, no particular reason, my previous post was on the world current issue and this is on my current issue.. it's a warm summer night which restrains me from shutting the window and makes the free melody from the jazz club next door sounds louder than ever... I was really trying to do my tech assignment, trying to figure out the structure and bla..bla..bla.. but sticking my brain on that for the whole day really exhausts me...so, i decide to write a post... Last night, i had a chat with a friend, Malaysian Chinese who is a christian, well, i consider him as a religious christian as he himself proclaimed that he is religious. Anyway, religious or not, that wasn't my main concern.. But, what was really provoking is that he proudly announced that he loves Israel. I know, everyone has own right to side in any side he prefers. But, for him who is, I suppose should be able to see right from wrong, shall be able to tell who is the villain and...

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...
