Politics (for Dummies)

With the election just around the corner, the political sphere can seem overwhelming to navigate especially for first time voters. Don’t fret though! In this post, I’ll be giving a low-down on how Malaysian politics and the election works (just enough to get you started or at least maintain a conversation). Here in Malaysia, there…

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:…

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…

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…

Mubashshira’s Full Glam Transformation!

Editor’s Note: In a world that’s so divided between those who prefer women ‘in their natural, makeup free’ state, and the women (and men) who pack on a beacon’s worth of light on their cheekbones, we were pleasantly surprised at an entry that celebrates the latter. Mubashshira’s fantastic recreation of NikkieTutorials’ *inhales* blue -spotlight-halo-smokey-eye-look showcases…

D, E, F of Monash

D – Diversity Yes I’ll admit it was tempting to go with DICK or DRAMA for this instalment of letters of Monash, but no, I don’t want to lose my job and/or status as a Monash student; so get your mind out of the gutter and accept the diversity in Monash! On a serious note,…

A, B, C of Monash

Editor’s Note: To reflect on the current times at Monash, we’ve decided pay homage by using the ABCs. Here’s our very first installment! A – Ancora Imparo Not to be mistaken as a spell from Harry Potter, Ancora Imparo is Monash’s motto which translates to “I am still learning”. This Italian (not Latin, mind you)…

5 Hollywood Films Shot in Malaysia! Do you know them all?

Every good slacker needs a great movie watch-list to fill in time better spent revising for tests, meeting assignment deadlines, or just getting out of bed to go to class. Seldom, though, can you flunk out, run a Hollywood movie marathon, and support our local film industry, all at the same time. Here are 5…

Why you will find LOVE again – The April Thematic Competition winner!

I met my ex-crush yesterday. By ‘ex-crush’ I mean she’s someone I liked a lot…but couldn’t get…and I’m with some other girl now but it’s not the same…because I’ll never love anyone else like I loved her; alright yes… …I still hopelessly crush on her and I always will but I’m obligated to behave like a…

Perfection in Simplicity: How Japanese Culture Resonates With Their Food

To many people, food is a language that overcomes all conventional barriers of communication. To these people, words hold no importance in telling their stories when they can let their food speak on their behalf. Almost every race among humanity can be identified by the uniqueness and individuality of the flavours, smells and looks of…

Bright Star

  Sometimes I wonder, what would it feel like to hold his hands in public, in the midst of a busy moving crowd among people would constantly judge you for the decisions you make and the people you choose to fall in love with? You know, with just my fingers in between the spaces of…
