Kim's note on major project

While many architect polish their skills on high-end project with big budget, there are so many  potential in under-develop places with lots of circumstances and tight budget (or maybe none at all). I don't say they are less fortunate (fortune is not something human could tell actually).  Just think about those who have less opportunity to have good architecture that may open up to more opportunity.

Bedah Buku Part 1: Malaysian Architecture: Crisis Within

Salams to all muslim,

WARNING: this post is solely about architecture, you may or may not find it relevant to you. So if it gets boring or does not make any sense at all, seek an architecture/design-related person to explain it to you if you want to know more. I'll write points that interest me, it's not about the whole book though...Thank you

Pelaburan yang bijak

Salam all...

I'm back in Msia...and in JOHOR right now...

there's an adjacent masjid with a VERY loud speakers...so today's khutbah is about

"Pelaburan yang Bijak"

interesting topic but I'll get to this later - head to pray 1st with ma...

lama xdgr khutbah jumaat...

Adabtable

I am at lost on where to head to in my career...you see..

being an architect never been on in the list of my report cards since standard 3(alaa..like the future planning yada yada). I've written doctor, scientist and even a tailor - and at one time a teacher becoz my teacher always get presents during teachers' day (xikhlas btol)

I've sort of discussed about architecture before...and here I quote a respond to that;

"to me, what i look for in an architect is their ability to design/build to people's needs. The aesthetic value comes second"- u know who u r

 I, for a long time have the same reasoning which have quite a negative impact in my learning - a cup must be empty to be filled, desho? 

serabut

But Kim is sure that she can still go on.

Final in 3 days

Bismillahirahman Ar-Rahim.

Huge thanks to those who's done the survey.May Allah reward you plenty. Jzk khair.

I'm typing with my left hand, while my right hand smudged with kicap kipas udang, rice n egg - being an architecture student require me to be VERY multitasking - i'm listening to songs while thinking what to write right now. the only thing i fail to accomplish as an architecture student is to stay up in long hours, forget about staying up the whole week.

Ya Allah grant me with me with ability to withstand the harshness of architecture...

The count down to 3...Oh my GOD.

Budding fruit

Salam,

it's been a while, and all I've posted in this blog are just announcements and copy-paste stuffs.

I've been thinking to write things about architecture - just to show the result of 4 years of study. But never work on it.

So just wait for a while until I settle down, and I'll give u a glimpse of architecture through Kim's eyes.

And I got 4 to boot to that :P - joke!

sharing what I think in architecture insyaAllah will help me with my major project next year

My 'HyperComplex' project with tutors:NHArchitect

Are we the winner?

Best doa during Ramadhan

O Allah, You are the One who grants pardon for sins, who loves forgiving… so forgive me

Kalau ALLAH itu Maha Baik, Mengapa Buat Neraka?

cerita ni sgt best n patut dikongsi bersama

source: http://idhamlim.blogspot.com/2009/08/kalau-allah-itu-maha-baik-mengapa-buat.html
Oleh : Amin Fadzlan

Ini kisah benar..kisah seorang gadis Melayu, beragama Islam, tapi cetek pengetahuan tentang agama. Ceritanya begini, di sebuah negeri yang melaksanakan dasar 'Membangun Bersama Islam', kerap kali pihak berkuasa tempatan menjalankan pemeriksaan mengejut di premis-premis perniagaan dan kompleks beli-belah, untuk memastikan para pekerja di premis berkenaan menutup aurat.

Aku tak pasti berapa jumlah denda yang dikenakan sekiranya didapati melakukan kesalahan, tapi selalunya mereka akan diberi amaran bagi kesalahan pertama, dan didenda jika didapati masih enggan mematuhi garis panduan yang ditetapkan. Lazimnya dalam setiap operasi sebegini, seorang ustaz ditugaskan bersama dengan para pegawai pihak berkuasa tempatan. Tugasnya adalah untuk menyampaikan nasihat secara berhemah, kerana hukuman dan denda semata-mata tidak mampu memberi kesan yang mendalam.

Dalam satu insiden, ketika operasi yang dijalankan sekitar 2005, seorang gadis yang bekerja di salah satu lot premis perniagaan di Pasaraya Billion telah didapati melakukan kesalahan tidak menutup aurat. Maka dia pun kena denda la...setelah surat saman dihulurkan oleh pegawai PBT, ustaz ni pun bagi la nasihat, "..lepas ni diharap saudari insaf dan dapat mematuhi peraturan..peratura n ni bukan semata-mata peraturan
majlis perbandaran, tapi menutup aurat ni termasuk perintah Allah. Ringkasnya, kalau taat segala perintahNya, pasti Dia akan membalas dengan nikmat di syurga..kalau derhaka tak nak patuhi perintahNya, takut nanti tak sempat bertaubat, bakal mendapat azab di neraka Allah. Tuhan Maha Penyayang, Dia sendiri tak mahu kita campakkan diri ke dalam neraka..."

Gadis tersebut yang dari awal mendiamkan diri,tiba-tiba membentak "Kalau Tuhan tu betul-betul baik, kenapa buat neraka? Kenapa tak boleh sediakan syurga je? Macam tu ke Tuhan Maha Penyayang?" Mungkin dari tadi dia dah panas telinga, tak tahan dengar
nasihat ustaz tu..dah la hati panas kena denda sebab dia tak pakai tudung..

Ustaz tu terkedu sekejap. Bahaya budak ni. Kalau dibiarkan boleh rosak akidah dia. Setelah habis gadis tu membebel, ustaz tu pun jawab:"Dik, kalau Tuhan tak buat neraka, saya tak jadi ustaz. Berapa sen sangat gaji saya sekarang. Baik saya jadi tokey judi, atau bapa ayam.. hidup senang, lepas mati pun tak risau sebab gerenti
masuk syurga... Mungkin awak ni pun saya boleh culik dan jual jadi pelacur. Kalau awak nak lari, saya bunuh je. Takpe, sebab neraka tak ada. Nanti kita berdua jumpa lagi kat syurga..Kan Tuhan tu baik?"

Gadis tu terkejut. Tergamak seorang ustaz cakap macam tu? Sedang dia terpinga-pinga dengan muka confused, ustaz tu pun jelaskan: "perkara macam tadi akan berlaku kalau Tuhan hanya sediakan syurga. Orang baik,orang jahat, semua masuk syurga..maka apa guna jadi orang baik? Jadi orang jahat lebih seronok. Manusia tak perlu lagi diuji sebab semua orang akan 'lulus' percuma. Pembunuh akan jumpa orang yang dibunuh dalam syurga..perogol akan bertemu lagi dengan mangsa rogol di syurga..lepas tu boleh rogol lagi kalau dia nak..takde siapa yang terima hukuman. Sebab Tuhan itu 'baik'. Adakah Tuhan macam ni yang kita nak? Awak rasa, adil ke?"; tanya ustaz.

"Ah...mana adil macam tu. Orang jahat takkan la terlepas camtu je.." rungut si gadis.

Ustaz tersenyum dan menyoal lagi: "Bila tuhan tak adil, boleh ke dianggap baik?"

Gadis tu terdiam.

Ustaz mengakhiri kata-katanya:"Adik, saya bagi nasihat ni kerana kasih sesama umat Islam. Allah itu Maha Penyayang, tapi Dia juga Maha Adil. Sebab tu neraka perlu wujud. Untuk menghukum hamba-hambaNya yang derhaka, yang menzalimi diri sendiri dan juga orang lain. Saya rasa awak dah faham sekarang. Kita sedang diuji kat atas dunia ni. Jasad kita bahkan segala-galanya milik Allah, maka bukan HAK kita untuk berpakaian sesuka hati kita. Ingatlah; semuanya dipinjamkan olehNya, sebagai amanah dan ujian..semoga kita dapat bersabar dalam mentaati segala perintahNya, untuk kebaikan diri kita jugak.

Assalamu'alaikum. "

Ramadhan Kareem

Ramadhan kian menjelang

Update from ICV:

 

Ramadan update from Board of Imams

Thursday, 20 August 2009

The Board of Imams have stated based on the strongest calculation that the start of Ramadan will be Saturday the 22nd of August People are also advised to check with their local mosque. The ICV wishes you and your family a blessed month filled with goodness.

Allahuma Balighna Ramadhan

Salam peeps,

it's ~5 more days to RAMADHAN!
Ya Allah, bring me to this month and grant me all the goodness so that I'll be a better servant for you...Amiiiin.

Ya Allah, xsabar nye!!!! XD

If you think about Ramadhan, it is really amazing month MashaAllah, and it is still amazing even if you don't think about it ~hoho(Hamza Yusuf, reflection on Surah Al- Balad - check Zaytuna Inst)


May Ramadhan be a platform for me and you to change for the better. OOOOHHHHHH! cepat laa Ramadhan ni!

nway, here's kudo from Ramadhan last year's card design...

Should I really explain the butterfly ~
In short - a butterfly struggles out from it cacoon, it may take a long time and with such a tight opening (to the mothers out there, they should know how hard it is to labour). Eventually the fluid in the butterfly's body will be squeezed to the rear - expanding the butterfly's body and wings - and after a long struggle it come out as a beautiful butterfly~TADAA!
if this short explaination doesn't get to your head, then go find a video about the struggle of a butterfly out of the cacoon.
I hope u can self relate this with urself - there's a lot to learm from 'alam.

Last but not least, I'll help UVIC to promote their Eid Card - I know it's a bit TOO early - but the reason they're promoting now is so that they can hv the card printed in 2 weeks - after that u'll have to send it in the cheapest way thru mail which will take about 2 weeks to arrive to international countries- so the timing shud be right - no? So click HERE to order ur cards.
If u strongly feel that this is killing the mood, u shud really learn sales managment or publication - n then that will REAAAALY bury the mood.

and whomever wish to use any artwork of mine (comic or yeekeru10), just use it - I wont charge, unless you want me to print it - as a card or just plain A4 color.
