Rintihan Hati Rakyat

Seperti kebanyakan daripada kita, saya turut merasa rimas dengan isu-isu pilihanraya yang bertebaran di setiap media dan dunia maya, seolah-olah tiada kesudahan.

Saya juga menjadi hairan dengan beberapa orang kawan-kawan yang selama saya kenal akan mereka tidak pernah berminat isu negara tiba-tiba menjadi penganalisa politik terkemuka. Menyebar cerita dan membenarkan segala yang dia percaya, seolah-olah tiadalah yang betul melainkan apa yg ada dalam kepalanya dan sehaluan saja.

Saya mohon perlindungan tuhan supaya saya tidak begitu. Sedaya upaya saya cuba tidak menyebar sebarang berita di facebook twitter atau mana-mana tanpa usul periksa. Ah! Nak mengusul periksa pun begitu seksa rasanya dengan kacau kicau bilau semua orang berkata.

Orang muda. Orang muda seperti saya, ya, saya rasa saya muda biarpun ibunda saya sering mengomokkan tidak lama saya akan jadi anak dara tua, saya bersangka orang muda seperti saya boleh terima, yang Barisan Nasional itu sekalipun mereka menang pilihan raya, tidaklah mereka itu betul semuanya. Ada juga yang tak kena. Saya juga percaya. Anwar Ibrahim, sehebat mana perjuanganya, dia tetap tidak maksum. Segala tindakannya masih boleh dipersoal dan dipertikai. Khilafnya ada.

Tetapi saya silap, manusia itu, tidak mengira usia, kalau fanatik, fanatik juga.

Kita semua, sebagai rakyat, perlu buka mata, tapi tak bermakna semua orang perlu buka mulut. Pilihanraya13 mengajar saya untuk menjadi pemerhati atau bak kata orang kampung saya 'more observant'.

Alhamdulillah, saya rasa saya masih berkenalan dengan dunia. Banyak kejutan tentang manusia.

Oh ya, kuasa. Sebagai rakyat, kita memang kena mampu tunjuk kita ada kuasa terhadap pemimpin, bukan pemimpin terhadap kita. Kena mampu ajar pemimpin. "Kau tak boleh buat kerja?, jaga kau next election".

Tahniah orang Kedah. Biarpun ada yang tak gembira dgn keputusan, tapi saya rasa teruja sebab berjaya tukar kerajaan negeri setiap penggal. Saya rasa negara pun patut macam tu. Tapi bila kali tu tak tahulah.

Letih dan Kecewa. Saya dah tak percaya mana-mana. Cuma yang dah ada kuasa, janganlah menjadikan kekecewaan rakyat seperti saya ini semakin parah.

...dahla gaji belum naik... harga barang dah... baru haritu ingat boleh balik kampung tak payah bayar tol... ah!

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...
