(The New Malaysian Students Department & Malaysia Hall)
Normally, I killed my time on the commuter train between Reading and Paddington by reading the newspaper. However, last week I bought 2 books and decided to change my routine. Indeed it has been a long time since I last read a story book.
John Grisham's
The King of Torts was rather anti-climax with its over simplified ending which made me think that as if he was in a great rush to finish the book. A bit disappointed though learned a lot about greedy lawyers.
Rande Brown's
Geisha of Gion - Mineko Iwasaki was, on the other hand, extremely fascinating. Though I'm very aware of the complexity of the culture especially pertaining geisha, it amazed me to know the intricate and very strict culture of the establishment. I have always been fascinated by the Japs culture and have been longing to visit the country and maybe live there for a while. Mmm...
... and today, I got myself a coffee table book, 'Tropical Houses'. No, I won't talk about boring architecture.... this one goes onto my over spilled architecture book shelves.
Wahhh...lamanya tak menulis kat sini. Aktiviti di site agak sibuk sekali akhir-akhir ini, maklumlah... dah tiba ke penghujung projek. Minggu lepas Dato' Seri Syed Hamid Albar dibawa melawat, dan sebelum ni dah tak terkira lagi dah berapa orang besar-besar yang datang menjenguk di sebalik tirai akan rupa paras MSD baru ini. Rasanya macam setiap mereka yang datang ke UK akan melawat. Begitulah tersohornya akan bangunan MSD ni, tak kira di mana berada. Tambah pula yang 'baru' (bukan bangunan baru, cuma ubahsuai dari hotel).
Telah pun dicanang akan saat akhir hayat MSD & Msia Hall di Bryanston Square setelah 50 tahun bertapak di situ. Jam 5:00 petang tanggal 30hb April ini akan lenyaplah segalanya di situ, dan sejurus kemudian bermulalah kisah baru di Queensborough Terrace, Bayswater.
Mak oiiii... banyaknya keje atok nak kena siapkan untuk Penyerahan Bangunan kepada JKR pada 28hb ini. Banyak documentation yg perlu disegerakan; berhempas pulas lah nampaknya nanti ni.
