9th May 2022, the first day of class after the Raya break. today's entry is going to be a bit more personal..
This morning, we were supposed to submit our floor plan for Design. Let's be honest, I really had my time for the whole week, I spent it merely for my family and kuih raya, and I don't care, not even regret. Yesterday after a rush finding Harraz's cat toy at Jusco Bukit Tinggi, we arrived at UIA, Gombak. I filled my evening visiting Farina at her room, ate some kuih raya and some mata kucing and wished Ainie, Wani and Shu the warmest "Selamat Hari Raya". Then Hajar invited me to her compartment and offered me her homemade kuih ros- where she accidently discovered that she can continue her grandma's legacy that nobody in her house can cook the kuih as decent as she and her grandmother could. - Hence, what else to expect other than myself who decided to sleep right away after my first yawn that night, without touching my assignments, AT ALL.
I was so blessed that I woke up to One Direction's One Thing as my alarm for Fajr prayer. I went to the toilet to take my bath then performed the Fajr prayer and faster than the lightning I grabbed my butter paper and started doing my favourite thing- architectural research & design idea sketches. Shall I express more gratitude, that I read messages from Nina, saying
"Have some rest, Raihana. Best idea wont come if u r not at ur best stage"
So grateful to have beautiful souls around me, alhamdulillah. Nina's words motivated me to do my best this morning and alhamdulillah that I already found my favourite architects yesterday during my self-research!! All the famous architects I learnt in university but I didn't feel attracted to their works and were struggling to find the beauty underneath- but couldn't and veery clueless bout it. :( however now, Fujiwaramuro has my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could so relate myself to their masterpieces; we have so many things in common, their simplicity in designing the building form, the uniqueness of the interior, the natural, earth colour scheme and material, I really need some time to cry for their existence cuz I love them hell much since the minute I saw one of their projects!!!! It's been a dream that I am looking forward to own such firm with a bestfriend or a good friend and let our inner creativity soar through the simple gesture of architecture, for there are times when I feel like I'm against my own Malay architecture where they pay more attention to the details (the kekisi, the openings, the roof). In spite of that, Fujiwaramuro has sparked the brightest light in my heart to make my imagination becomes reality, and I'm excited for it! -great, I just spilled one of the bestseller tea.
-My rough design concept & floor plan inspired by the coconut tree leaves-
Done with the consultation- the lecturer likes my idea and justification. I would say that now, my concept and the ideas are very well-explained and I couldn't be more satisfied about it, alhamdulillah - my feet are giggling, urging my head to figure out the form of my retreat house eeee. To tell, when I was lecturing my studio master about my floor plan, Luqman suddenly came out of nowhere, like he wasn't there when everyone else does their consultations, but why o why everytime when it comes to my turn, he will stand thereee? *quick note: Luqman is literally one of hottest guys in my course, my batch. Even the seniors know him and undeniably that he has tons of secret admirer from various courses since foundation. // another quick note: Luqman dear if it ever destined for you to suddenly found my blog and got to read this entry, know that I'm so embarrassed but oh well I'm just speaking the truth -You're cute. hahahahahahaha. He asked about my design, the reason why I placed my kitchen on the 1st floor and he answered my question regarding the roof in Malaysia; does it necessarily to be overhang? - Yes, overhang roof is a must @ part of the requirements in tropical climate areas.
I appreciate that, Luqman,.
-May Allah bless our ways, R.
