Petang begini, sejuk begini… kerja tak beranak juga! Ah, Penat sudah aku kandung beban pelajaran… hei, mengeluhkah kamu pada nikmat tuhan?! alangkah… alangkah tak bersyukur…. Lama sudah…lama sudah tak berbasa basi berlidah ibunda…ah, mungkin ayahanda lebih tepat… Sungguh aku rindu pada hari-hari aku tidak terlalu mabuk memburu… memburu bintang dan bayang kejora yang sayup dipandang, membiar bumi di tapak kaki menjadi misteri… Ini hidup, segalanya tak pasti kecuali mati. Mendung, mendung di musim luruh penghujung April. Aku masih di negeri orang, bukan tak ku ketemu jalan pulang… Cuma sarat beban ku sandang menjadikan aku dagang… aku dagang tak terbuang! Haha.. seperenggan keluhan manjadi habuan butang ‘delete’…. Semenjak dua menjak ini, seringkali aku begini, menelan bicara di sisir bibir.. riuh tari bahasa berkeroncong masih mampu ku redam, diam. Aku sendiri menjadi aneh, sedang aku yang biasa, atau lebih tepat yang dahulunya… sukar amat menelan bicara, mudah amat memuntah r...

Bismillah…. It’s Friday today… a strange one! I was on my way to RMIT this morning, and as usual I was day dreaming on the tram since I got nothing to do except wondering about a few random things, but I suddenly noticed The Yellow Peril. In case some of you do not know, it’s a vault-like public sculpture installed somewhere in the 80s. Nothing is so strange about seeing it, in fact it has been there for so long as far as the internet is concerned… but I’m pretty sure, I saw it somewhere else before, and at a few other places as well… do they move the thing around? herm, all this while, I’ve been traveling back and forth via the same street but had never noticed it… it might have skipped my sight all this while but people said I got ‘good-eyes’ despite of their size …..so, how come I missed that striking yellow thing? btw, I only have good eyes when I’m mute! The Yellow Peril I went to the library to look for a book recommended by a friend, since the book did not interest me mu...

Hey! It’s weekend! And all I really want to do is to snuggle comfortably under my warm duvet, pick up a good book and put on the sentimental playlist on my iTunes. A glass of milk and some snickers cookies would be a nice treat. Oh! How nice to be able to spend a weekend like that. Also, if only I could spend my day just talking to my love ones… even just through phones… listen to their stories, without having to say “sorry kak long, ada lecture ni…ttyl” or “ayah, adik nak kena turun sat ni, ada perjumpaan” or “nak kena tidoq ni, esok nak sambung buat kerja” or without having to worry about the phone bills and internet data so goodbye doesn’t come too soon.. Oh.. How wonderful! BUT NO! NO! NO! This is a super busy week. MID SEMESTER CRIT is on Wednesday… aaaaa! I’m so scared! cakap tepon pun penuh anggun! Anyway, things will get worse before they get better. I'm hoping for the best... inshaAllah.

1. The demolition of Pudu Jail enrages me. I might be a little behind in commenting about the issue… but I’ve been expecting more furious uproars from the public… does that 114 years old historical building have no meaning at all to us? At least a bit? Peeps, learn to preserve, not for the sake of a building… but for the history and memory… where are all Malaysian great architects and socialists? It was stupid, whatever the arguments were. The old blocks might be ugly, but is not about the pure aesthetic… it’s about the meaning… hello, great looking building might leave everyone in awe, but a meaningful building speaks to the heart… it makes us think and reminds us of something significant of the place… Btw, thanks friend for updating me about politik-alam-bina tanah air… 2. I subscribed to mstaronline on twitter and almost every week, there is a news about “dumping baby” and the news hence followed by such-and-such person admits or pleads guilty for the act… gaaaaaaaah… malas dah...

It’s funny how certain food could bring back long lost memories… Pisang pun boleh imbas kenangan lalu… ish, kalau la boleh masak kat sini kan best… boleh buat cucuq pisang… haa, kenapa org johor makan cucuq pisang dgn cabai kicap? Peliknya… Teringat ni… I was once treated for low potassium levels in my blood. I remember having to wake up at 300 am to swallow little yellow pills… sampai sekarang tak fhm kenapa kena makan ubat pukui 3 pagi? it wasn’t serious though.. but as I was discharged from the hospital, I was advised to eat at least a banana every day which I only followed for about a week I guess… haha.. susahla duk asrama… dewan makan bukan bagi pisang tiap2 hari… malas juga nak beli pisang bawa balik bilik, macam pelik… but since I had to choose between pills and pisang, of course I went for pisang since I hate ubat with all my heart… Tiba-tiba tergerak nak search pasal hypokalemia … I guess, it was just due to my poor diet back then. Tu la, suka buat perangai malas ...

WARNING *This post was written under the influence of meth rush pineapple juice. Hello world, Kiambang here would like to talk about something so cliché yet so significant to human life. YES it’s the lame boring subject that makes the world go round. LOVE Before I proceed, here is a few well-known obvious facts that I still want to mention it anyway -the greatest love is from/goes to Allah SWT and His religion -then to Muhammad SAW and all the prophets -then to mother, mother, mother -then to father OK. Here is the bit that I want to talk about… In discussing love, I must clarify what kind of love I’m talking about… so I’m talking about LOVE between a man and a woman… … ok, this is so absurd… but I’m writing it… *gelong* This morning, I read a statement, somewhere (source is purposely unmentioned) “Love isn’t just a feeling, it’s also a decision” ………………………………………………and I’m so liking it…. I have this habit of analyzing, well, not really analyzing… but just having...

MTC by ARM Last studio session, we had a lecture by Howard Raggatt, one of the ARM directors… his speech was really amusing, at least to me… it wasn’t a formal lecture like many would imagine, we were just basically sitting around a meeting table and listened to him talking through his slides on tv. His talk managed to keep me awake despite of being sleepless the night before... so I think that’s pretty impressive. So, what the speech was about? Well, he was basically presenting his philosophy about architecture. If you are not in design business, you might not aware that design industry is classified into many schools of thought. That is why, you might see some architects design weird/ugly/iconic buildings and some still go with the standardized/banal/boring buildings. When I started doing this course, I didn’t have any idea at all about this philosophical side of architecture, in fact I didn’t really know what architecture is about except that ‘architect ‘draws’ building’… but dur...
