Masih Menatap Pelangi =)

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 rasa. Apa agaknya yang buat aku begini… pada sisi yang cerah, dalam banyak situsi yang menyerlah, aku apapun kian mengerti… diam itu lebih sempurna!

Masa berlalu, rasa bersilih tamu. Aku masih bergelut dengan yang perlu dan yang mampu. Alasan berkalang alasan menangguh yang perlu menghad yang mampu. Aku masih bicara sendiri tentang sufi jiwa yang jauh… sayang, bicara mati pada bicara! menolak mudharat ku biar lambat, menanti manfaat ku harap cepat… ahhhhh! mana satu penjuru hendak ku lampiaskan lelah yang sudah semu. Pada tuhan, pada tuhan, pada tuhan… aku serahkan pengharapan! Indahnya nikmat bertuhan!

Aku ada cerita tentang bunga. Ada sekuntum bunga di tasik halaman istana, bunga milik si maharaja! Segala mata memandang dan memuja… “indahnya bunga maharaja “... hei manusia, mari aku khabarkan pada semua, bunga itu… tumbuhnya di mana-mana. Tak percaya, cubalah ke paya terbiar dalam belukar, dia ada! Cubalah ke sungai mengalir di hilir, dia ada… indah yang kamu lihat itu hei manusia, hanya kerana latarnya istana, sedang bunga itu, hanya biasa… teramatlah biasa… tiada punya warna, tiada harum juga! yang indah itu istana, bukannya bunga... kalau kamu memandang itu kerana dia di tasik maharaja, aku pesan sama kamu… butakan, butakan mata kamu dari melihatnya… dia itu tak punya nilai yang kamu damba! Mengerti?! Lagipun, aku rasa-rasa… bunga itu, tidak mahu disapa.

Hari ini dingin. Dingin biasa musim luruh. Hati aku juga dingin, sedingin embun pagi yang belum gugur dan kabus senja yang masih kabur. Tapi dingin ini tidak membeku, sekadar membendung rasa yang ada agar tidak basi… sehinggalah tiba masa dinanti untuk dipanaskan dengan gelombang mikro dari sumber yang sama, hati.

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...

Willful Ignorance

I was too busy with architecture for the last few weeks.. . haven’t really got a chance to get my head around what’s going on in the world, especially back home in Malaysia. I felt detached from reality. I felt like I was living in ignorance. I felt guilty. Therefore, since I finished my final presentation yesterday (still got 2 submissions coming though)… Today, I decided to take a day off from architecture. I went out for a good lunch with a friend, had some retail therapy… and came back, get on the internet and try to update myself with some of the current issues. I read. I read. I read and I read. As a result. I feel sick. And I still feel guilty, way worse… I feel guilty and hopeless for knowing things I could never really do anything about. I know... I know...I know I’m a little behind. But I still need to put more efforts in understanding the following issues, I’m feeling lost and mentally constipated just by reading one or two news/articles/blogposts about them. 1. ...

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...
