Struggling to survive week 7? You’re not the only one!
Oh no, we’re halfway through the semester. To most, if not all, of us, this means that mid-semester exams are just around the corner. When that happens, there are generally two types of students – the ones who sit around and procrastinate (like myself) and the ones that are currently working super hard to excel…
A Werewolf’s Lament
The sound of dead leaves crunching underfoot pierced the quietness as the tall figure made its way through the thick forest. The light of the crescent moon hanging overhead in the starless sky filtered through the thick canopy of trees, offering only the barest of illumination. In spite of the lack of visibility, the figure…
Dead yet? Check out our tips on how to survive the second half of the semester!
So, I’m supposed to write an article for the Monga blog. And the thing is, I WAS writing it. In fact, I was sitting in the library just a couple days ago, typing it out (and procrastinating a little, don’t tell my editor) when I suddenly realised something. The library. Was. Dead. Silent. I wasn’t…
Planes, Ships and Alcoho..chocolate – LIMA 2017 was wild!
Late on a Thursday night, the Monash foyer bustled with activity, with Engineering rep, Terry Lee, bellowing out roll-calls while his colleague Jun Mann efficiently registered a line of students and a small crowd milled around, dragging their trolley bags and doing some last-minute packing.

Natasha Qisty: The 9A+ girl that was bullied.
So this isn’t really hot news. Heck, I don’t even know if it’s good enough news to talk about, since I’m sure Monashians will stand on the same side of this divide, but all the same, this is for those of you who didn’t know this went down. This is Natasha Qisty Mohd Ridzuan. She’s…

Let the battle begin.
For glory, for honour and for bragging rights! Those were the words echoing from the emcee’s megaphone as the opening ceremony for this year’s Monash Cup began at almost half past noon on the 27th of March.

Childlike Hope
After a sleepless night cramming statistics and staring at the candles giving me some aroma therapy, I got ready to head over to church on a rainy Sunday morning. Taking the LRT, I reached Kingdomcity KL, the church that I came to love. Walking in I saw stands set up in the foyer, with beautiful…

Atlas of Mayhem – Maps can be interesting too! Trust me!
Taking a strenuous hike through the Port Dickson hinterland, this writer decided to make his way to a popular local attraction, the Cape Rachado lighthouse. This pretty 19th century British structure is accessible only on foot, surrounded by a quiet forest reserve, and untouched by much development. As I made my way up to the…
