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.

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...
