Buh-bye home!

I’m leaving for Melbourne very soon. It is hard to lift this heaviness of my heart. Through many years that had passed by, I still don’t deal with separation very well. It is a great sorrow for me to part with my love ones. Still go I must.

Anyways, whatever or however I feel usually is temporary. I’ll be okay once I resume to my hectic student life. I do miss it somehow… Being idle for too long isn’t good. As I reflect on my summer holiday, I did nothing much except, hanging wallpaper, reading and nannying. But I surely did a lot of thinking… Even about things that I never even thought of thinking…

As usual, prior to my leave, I would have a final shopping which usually is a series of mall tour that occurs for a few consecutive days… hehe… OK, due to that I’ve been going to the malls these few days, there are many promotions for two upcoming events, Chinese New Year and Valentine. Waaa.. it adds to my dreadfulness that I have to leave on Chinese New Year. Nak raya jugak!

However, what is this Valentine Day? Well, I don’t find any need for me to answer that… I’ve been hearing speculations and rejections of that very day since forever. Read this fatwa for further knowledge. There is a clear-cut that it is Haram, not my opinion… but our scholars’.

So my dear fellows and friends, it is never our culture to begin with… and there is no need for a special day to show our love towards our love ones… Love is an everyday thing. When you love, it shows…

Two more years to get to a real start… For many reasons, I wish these two years will fly fast. Ameen.

Asrama

Oh, my dear nephew is enrolling to Maahad today. Oh, I could see his murky face when he kissed me goodbye… Sorry dear, makcik tak hantaq, malas nak menyempit kereta… the thought of being sent away from home for the first time must be dreadful… oh, I know it well… masuk asrama memang tak best. Anyways, you’re a boy, you must do well… It reminds me of my first day being away from home. I rushed for a shower the moment I saw my ayah’s car left the school yard. It was still early for a late noon shower, but all I wanted was just to cry (out of anyone sights, since that I found shower is a great place to shed my tears)… haha… I couldn’t sleep at nights, found it so hard to make friends and follow the rules… For a year, I scribbled everywhere a note ‘ adik nak balik, adik benci asrama ’… wishing that my parents would read and get me out of there… hahaa… Oh, I made it through though… Eventually, a bunk bed did give me some good sleeps, I made lot of friends….oh, but I never really succeede

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..
