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...

Creepy Me in my Poems

For the first time in my architecture-life, I'm bringing my poems into architecture. What's more interesting is, I use my poems in their original form, by this I mean, in Malay language. Now everybody in my class knows how Malay language sounds like. ahaha... The project is pretty much investigating the space between poems. The atmosphere of hearing two poems recited simultaneously. Sounds that make space, space that's defined by sound. Seriously, I don't really know how it'll work out... but hey, just having some experimentation with stuff a bit off-architecture... a break from my headache major project. Plus, I kinda enjoy making people listen to my poems without expecting them to understand a word... rather then, reciting to a bunch of people who understand but couldn't 'appreciate' them... and yeah, I receive some flattering comments from 'mat-salleh' course mate like... "when something is well written, even you can't understand it.....

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...
