Terima kasih feedjit kerana menceriakan hari ku... baru tau kat perak ada kota bharu rupanya...!!!

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

It's not empty.

Bismillah… I’ve been busy… thinking. Remember what Einstein said… “the person who reads too much and uses his brain too little will fall into lazy habits of thinking” So yeah… I’ve been reading, as well as thinking… For some unexplainable state of mind, I started to feel the change in my architectural perception… I guess, the reading requirement for my current studio has sort of plays the biggest role in shuffling my mind back and forth, up and down, placing it in such a vulnerable position of perceiving architecture… Architecture to me is… ambiguous! Anyway, I don’t feel like profoundly discussing all the philosophical architecture discourse that has been forcefully woven into my brain cells… but there is the idea of ‘horror vacui’ or fear of emptiness that struck me into thinking about the emptiness in life, and how much we always try to fill up the holes in our life with the unnecessary… and at the same time, there is this discussion regarding accepting and living the nothingne

Archite-cure

BIsmillah…. It has been a while since I last posted anything here… It’s such a hectic and tough semester… I pray to Allah to bestow on me strength to breeze through and do well for this semester… This is my fourth year (first year master to be specific) in architecture… as I contemplate over it, it has been such a wonderful journey learning architecture… architecture is different from many other courses in so many ways… first, we don’t have many exams (especially in RMIT), second, we don’t really sleep at nights in extreme cases for days, many of us are big fans of caffeine (coffee, redbulls, gatorade, mother,v etc) most have at least 2 computers or in some cases reside in the computer labs so they can ‘own’ the public computers , we get bruises and cuts around hands and fingers (so me!), we eat sandwiches during lectures (is this included?), our readings cut across all fields because to us everything has ‘something’ to do with architecture, most subjects don’t require text books bu

Bintang

Hahaaa.. I have no idea why am I posting this video... cuma Oya tiba-tiba ungkit suatu tragedi my phone berbunyi dalam lecture hall dan ringtonenya lagu ini (kalau tak silap)... I couldn't really remember... tp rasa macam comel pula dgr lagu ni... I guess suara budak yang mula2 tu ja kot! Tapikan, berkaitan bintangkan, semalam balik kelas lewat, sampai rumah dalam lingkungan pukul 12... bila dongak ke langit, subhanallah! bintang sangat banyak, ada yang berkelip-kelip... benarlah, bintang itu perhiasan langit...! manusia yang seperti bintang menghiasi hidup...! tapi bintang juga senjata rejaman syaitan... dan manusia 'konon'-bintang juga senjata kemusnahan hidup... seperti mana elemen alam yang lain, padanya tersimpan rahsia, bahkan sebuah surah dituruankan dgn namanya... I think, I unconsciously fancy 'bintang' in many ways... I named my second hard drive as 'bintang' and I don't know why I did that... I refer to some important people in my life as

Adios Amigos Ambiguous Ambiguity! (Ignore the title as well as the post)

Hello stress my old friend, I come to live with you again! Now, the school has commenced… workloads flooded in like a storm… By the way, it was my first time experiencing a hail storm yesterday… I never knew that the hailstorms produce a sound like an orchestra of castanets… it was indeed a little scary, but calming in a peculiar way… how unusual! But I heard that quite a number of people was injured by the hails… luckily I was home all day yesterday… It’s been raining these few days… My, how I love a rainy day… it’s just beautiful and calming… I was caught in the rain during my site visit last Friday… But, instead of finding a shelter to wait for the rain to calm, I umbrella-less just walked through it…seriously, it made me feel so good… btw, It was raining lightly, “cute-rain” as Oya would say… It wasn’t like, pouring… I’m not stupid to get myself all wet… though I’m a bit eccentric ,maybe… haha… I have this obscure assignment regarding ‘ambiguity’… I was too absorbed by readin

A short note to my dear sister...

Indeed, Allah is above all things... We planned and we tried, but sometimes things just don't go our way... As human, we are by creation subjected to tests... Yes, the eyes that see or the mind that understands is never equal to the heart that feels or the soul that experiences... I'm worst at giving advices as I'm afraid that I myself would not act accordingly... But I pray for you... to be strong and brave... I know that you have a very kind-heart and how much you are willing to give, but do fight for your right... p/s: I'm so sorry that I can't be there for you...

Come to think of a future. I see a little cottage in a broad meadow... colourful flowers and bright sky... when night falls, there will be many stars shining above me... and right next to me is a crescent moon...  Gaaaaaa... mengarut apaaa? I'm so sleepy...  I shouldn't sleep I don't want to sleep Because if I do, I won't be able to sleep early tonight... ...will end up in sleeping after fajr tomorrow...  So instead of sleeping,  I decided to do some thinkings... ...but I end up here, writing nonsense... such as... I'm in love... with autumn! ... Salam to my favourite season... she is finally here again, after a long voyage to the north... yay!...
