Written by: Cheah Wei Shang Edited by: Chua Jia Ying It’s been WEEKS I tell you. Well, no, it’s been the bare minimum of days to be able to use the plural of week, and I’m sure most of you have nearly exhausted Netflix’s entire library. Most of you have probably seen MUSA’s RMO Survival…

Monch! Monga Fried Chicken (SS15)
Written by: Cheah Wei Shang Edited by: Chua Jia Ying The conversation went something like this: “Did you know there’s a restaurant called Monga that serves fried chicken?” The Editors’ Team collectively: Holy shit. On that note, we drove to MONGA Fried Chicken in SS15. It wasn’t far from Monash, only needing a 15-minute drive….

Musings of a graduating student nobody asked for.
Religion (Saik Ming)
I say the words Jesus Christ a lot for somebody who doesn’t believe in the notion of God. Or religion in general for that matter. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it for as long as i live; our perspectives are moulded by the experiences and lives we live. I don’t have anything against…
Emelyne: Quest for Self-Acceptance
Editor’s Note: Just in time to usher in the new year, here’s a submission from a fellow Monashian about her journey towards self-acceptance. In this era of a tech-savvy society, people are constantly being drowned by unrealistic standards of superficial beauty. Social media indubitably aggravates it; leading many into ridiculously believing that beauty is only…
Religion: Moyang Getah
Words from Author: I am submitting this photo called “Moyang Getah, from the Mah Meri tribe” which I hope is in line with your theme “Religion”. I thank you for your kind consideration. The indigenous people of Peninsular Malaysia, a.k.a Orang Asli are unique to Malaysia and are found nowhere else in the world. The Mah…
Sex: A Broken Relationship between Sex and Love
To you, You shouldn’t start with the boy who leaves you under his bed like dirty laundry. But you do anyway, because surely a questionable hand is better than none? You will learn. This isn’t like the movies. You are an unread message and so willing, too willing to fall. You are a fool and…
Politics: The Snake’s Speech
Editor’s note: Here’s the winner for our first instalment of ‘CHAOS’ on the topic of Politics! This piece has given me the same amount feelings without having the hassle to read through another YA dystopian trilogy that comes a two-part finale. THE SNAKE’S SPEECH Armed, suited, I stand by the entrance watching the herd hustling…
Politics: Nightmares From Below
Editor’s Note: Here’s a honorable mention to another one of our submissions for ‘Politics’, where Rhea waxes poetic on the aftermath of political decisions. Nightmares From Below Our whole continent was in a hot dense state and nearly 400 years of slavery couldn’t wait The British began to drool and imperialism was cool because…
MOM KNOWS BEST
Editor’s note: While some pills are hard to swallow, some conversations are harder to have. As a trigger warning, this piece contains mature themes that aren’t usually explored on MONGA. However, it is a raw exposition and insight into a person’s struggle with familial, sexual, and mental relationships. We at MONGA not only encourage you…
Q, R, S of Monash
Q – Quality I’m gonna be honest and say that the letter ‘Q’ was a tough one, but eventually all that came to mind was quality. Quality seems like a cheesy word but it really does ring true in this respect. Monash provides a quality and all encompassing education with lecturers and educators all around…
N, O, P of Monash
N – New Additions Monash is constantly innovating and improving especially in the infrastructure department. With the introduction of more study spaces, rooftop garden as well as the coming transformation of the cafeteria (finally), it seems like Monash is constantly adding new additions on campus which is awesome you know despite the construction. Coming back…
Solace: Mohsin
I find solace in the fact that I don’t depend on anyone for my happiness In the fact that I have been blessed in a billion ways I find solace in being the reason behind the happiness of the people around me. In being content with what I am. Which is good because in the…
Solace: Stay
You have taught what it means to comfort a soul, how raw and impossible it is to embrace, but to do it anyway because of love. Call to me in the darkness just to hear something real, keep the line alive even if you can barely breathe. Though the clouds shade the night sky it’s…
J, K, L and M of Monash
J – Jaywalking Who cares if there’s a well-built, elevator *and* escalator-equipped overhead bridge that links the main entrance to the BRT station and the shoplots of Sunway? A big part of Monash culture is a real-life simulation of Crossy Roads, where out of ‘convenience’ and pure laziness outweigh the risks of jaywalking across four…
