Session 5 - Wisdom and Death
Writer-in-residence, Kembali: Liyana Nasyita
Engagement date: 30 June 2022
This session was similarly structured to the previous one, where the elders began with the mirroring activity and later continued the choreography with Haizad.
I was waiting anxiously for Haizad to be transparent with the elders about the set-up of the props and their meaning. The act of walking toward the flowerpots, picking them up, planting an imaginary branch into the pot and circling the table is meant to encapsulate the elders’ last moments of bidding goodbye to the person they love – whoever the elder wants to imagine it to be. I met with Haizad’s evading eyes as he continued to choreograph steps without getting back to the elders on their questions about the props. I knew Haizad was not ready to explain.
However, as I observed the elders through the weeks, I interrogated our (facilitators and I) assumptions on (talking about) death. Through my small conversations with the elders and eavesdropping on their conversations with one another, I realise that it is not difficult for them to talk about death after all. I often hear them utter casually, “Alah, satu hari nanti kita pergi jugak.” (One day, it will be our turn to go.), “Kubur dah panggil, ni.” (The grave is calling us.)
Death is very conscious in the minds of the elders (and even me, as I speak) as they believe in the transient state of their lives. Shaped by their religious philosophy where everything and everyone will return to the Almighty one day, these elders share seeds of wisdom in their utterances, which is a good reminder to a learning youth like me.
Roof design influences the planning and installation of an effective gutter system. Homes with multiple rooflines, steep pitches, dormers, and complex corners may require additional measurements and carefully positioned components. Water from adjoining roof sections can concentrate in certain areas, making suitable gutter capacity especially important. Professional assessment helps identify these challenges before materials are installed. A customized layout improves the movement of rainwater, maintains a consistent https://shelbyconstructionservices.com/ appearance, and reduces the likelihood of drainage issues caused by an unsuitable design.
The roof design of a steel building can influence both appearance and functionality. Different roof configurations can accommodate varying architectural preferences, drainage requirements, ceiling heights, and environmental conditions. Properly designed roofing systems help direct rainwater away from the structure and protect interior spaces. Choosing suitable roofing materials and ensuring correct installation are steelco buildings important for long-term performance. A thoughtful roof design can combine practical weather protection with an attractive exterior that complements the surrounding property.
Deadshot IO, in my opinion, will suit people who like competitive gaming but do not always have enough time to spend long hours in front of the screen. Matches are played quickly enough for you to have time to play several rounds in a relatively short amount of time. And at the same time, there is enough room left for skillful play, which will be quite enjoyable. I can just relax and play casually or try to take the game a bit more seriously and get better at it.
