C&S Review: Monash University Islamic Society

Unbeknownst to most people, every Thursday evening in the Multi Faith Center here on campus, the Monash University Islamic Society has their weekly meetings. On one particularly rainy Thursday, I decided to join the meeting to see what the club is all about. I found myself sitting in a circle surrounded by some familiar but…

MUSA Week + MUSA Forum

Over the earlier parts of Week 7, you might have noticed the small, quaint MUSA Week booth decked with pastel sticky notes. With the use of good ol’ classical conditioning, students were prompted with cookies in exchange for their feedback, complaints and suggestions written on Post-its. All queries given were meant to be brought up…

Starting Up A Conversation by MEC

“Adapt or die.” That was the concluding advice on entrepreneurship given by the CEO (or Solutionist, as he prefers to be called) of Major Drop, Lim Sheng Feixiang. Together with Danny New, the Brand Manager of Pestle and Mortar Clothing, and Chin Renyi, the co-founder of MyBurgerLab, they shared their perspectives during Starting Up A…

Routine: A Mother’s Routine

Editor’s Note: I’m not crying! You are! Artist’s Note: It’s inspired by a best friend of mine who passed away. His mum would go to the hospital and visit him almost every day before his passing, which was her routine. But like everyone else as stated in the first few pictures, waking up, getting ready…

Routine: Just Another Day

Editor’s Note: Everyone’s given 24 hours in a day, it’s really what you do that counts. Zheryew’s piece demonstrates the perfect juxtaposition of incorporating madness within mundanity, and showcases how some routines may not be so simple, after all. If you’re looking for an accompanying soundtrack, here’s my personal suggestion. Just another day. A:…

Revival: 4th IChemE Sports Day 2018

Last Saturday was a very special day for the Monash Malaysia’s IChemE club. It has been SEVEN years since the first event that brought together IChemE student chapters from universities around Malaysia. No, it wasn’t an event where a bunch of engineers sit around and design model airplanes. We have fun too! And what better…

C&S Review: Monash Performing Arts Club (MPAC)

Mondays can be a real Mon-DIE sometimes, especially when you know the week is going to come at you like a pick-up truck driven by an intoxicated person who’s going to pull a hit and run. You’re gonna be left lying in the middle of campus, trying to catch your breath while getting the life…

MBC + Maybank’s QR Tech = Cashless Bazaar

‘Wah, best-ah, got bazaar again leh.’ (Please appreciate the pun, I realise it’s a stretch but I didn’t know how else to start the article ok sue me.) Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get down to business (TO DEFEAT THE HUNS!). Week 6 marked the return to school for all of us…

To Teach Is To Touch A Life Forever (Educator’s Appreciation Week)

It gets almost too easy for us in this age of fast paced technology to take for granted important components in our life, one being our educators. Educators, teachers, guardians of knowledge; however you’d like to put it, they are those whom guide us, motivate us and most of enlighten us to be better, more…

Experiences of Attending a Cantonese Dialect Workshop

Hello! My name is Hans Willard and I’m a 2nd year medical student from the MBBS course in Monash University Malaysia. On the 24th of March, I attended the Cantonese Dialect Workshop organised by the MUSA representatives of the Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Personally, I felt that the dialect workshop would…

G,H, I of Monash

G – Graduation It is the finale. The final curtain. It is your graduation call. The annual graduation ceremony devoted to celebrating an important point in students’ lives. Examinations are finally over, scruffiness is replaced with fancy clothes and parents admire their children for reaching the finishing line of a long marathon. Officials’ speech made…

War Amongst The People of MUSA (MUSA Wars 2018)

8.45 in the morning, I found myself sitting in the MUSA Office, staring blindly at the wall. The thought of why I had woken up so early on a Saturday morning pondering on my mind. Then I heard someone scream, “Registration is now open!”. I dragged myself off the chair to get myself registered. Only…

Viridis Green Awareness Campaign

With Earth Day being just around the corner (22nd April to be exact), campaigns on environmental protection are doubled to serve as reminders for the ones who contribute the most to Earth’s pollution – us. As part of the #MonashGoesGreen movement, Viridis organized a campaign to enlighten students on the environmental issues going around globally….

Glow Up In The Dark

For most of us here, week 5 is normally regarded as ‘stress week’, seeing as some of the units (unless you’re unlucky like me, then all of the units) has an assignment or test due. On Thursday of this week, the Monash University Student Association (MUSA) hosted the Glow Up event. Essentially, it was a…
