The Publicity Officers, Charmaine Yeo and Shaun Tan opened a booth at the foyer right next…

It’s Merdeka month, and the nation takes it VERY seriously. From discounts on food and the country being decorated with our Jalur Gemilang, we take pride of what we’ve become as a big mess combo of brown, yellow and spectrum brown peoples. With the Petronas Twin Towers, UNESCO heritage sites, Mount Kinabalu and also AMAZING…

Power. Unlimited. Power. What first comes to your mind when you hear that word? I bet it’s the power to rule the world. But what could you get out of it? Travel the world? That’s a given. Unlimited money? Sure, since you could just take them by force. Fame? Well, you’d probably get a similar…

Semester One 2017’s Engineering Buddy-Buddee Night will not be forgotten anytime soon, thanks to John’s impromptu lap dance, immortalised here in steamy fashion by my fellow writer Larissa. Semester Two’s BBN was definitely no slouch, a repeat of  everyone’s favourite male burlesque being just one of the highlights. The traditional Library rooftop venue was unavailable, so…

Well, who knew that there were so many social butterflies in Monash? There were at least 139 of them at the Flash Friends event organized by the Activities department, which was held in the Foyer on Friday the 4th of August. The event, or as one person described it, “Tinder, but for friends” (or apparently…

Ever wondered what it would feel like to have the raft you built turn over a 180 degrees, tossing you over into the murky water in the middle of a sad-looking lake? Well me neither. But it happened. And just like life in general, horrible stuff happens. And that’s okay. Unless you can’t swim and…

Things have reached a point in Malaysia where most of us instinctively cringe when we get mentioned on international news. Tap on the Malaysia section in the BBC app, and the list of recent headlines speaks for itself. So, you’ll be forgiven if you’ve just tuned out the Malaysian news ticker completely. However, you have…

Disclaimer: This article is completely spoiler-free; Any spoilers, especially from Season 7, will be met with extreme prejudice. When George R.R. Martin first started A Song of Ice and Fire in 1996, no one expected it to become one of the most universally acclaimed series in television history. With the years of extreme hype and…

The start of a new semester is always a hectic time for Monash Malaysia’s dozens of clubs and societies, as they engage in a mad scramble to snare returning students and freshies.

“I go in hard and dry, I come out wet and soft,” was one of the many riddles us, Editors, had set for our MUSA Day station game. The other stations manned by MUSA members were just as creative (read: sick), as they welcomed the new Monash students from different schools with water guns, balls…

Ever had that overwhelming urge to just roll right out of bed and go to uni in your pyjamas? Or maybe it’s one of those days where you felt lazy to wear a cute outfit because you’d have to change for Frisbee/futsal/badminton/basketball training after classes. Well, I don’t know what MUSA was thinking, but if…

Entrepreneurship is a skill everyone wants to have, but no one’s really sure on how to get it. Sure, there’s a thousand and one “How to be an Entrepreneur” books on the market with varying levels of quality, but reading a book isn’t going to transform you into the next Jack Ma in a fortnight….

Picture yourself slathering on sunscreen while lazing on a perfect white-sand beach covered in coconut palms that gives way to emerald waters and coral gardens. Not forgetting the tropical slopes that surround you, the seemingly endless blue skies and a Bahama Mama in your hand. Vogue material? No, just routine in Bora Bora.  If you…

There’s only slightly more than a week left till the end of the semester. That means that there’s only slightly more than a week left to rush the thousands (exaggeration or nah?) of assignments that have been scheduled on Week 12, after which the hustling doesn’t stop as we dive straight into SWOTVAC and then…
