MONCH! @Mingle Cafe
Located in Jalan Sultan, one stop away from Pasar Seni and amidst a line-up of various other tempting cafes, Mingle Cafe sits unassumingly, its entrance covered in foliage and plants, as if trying to set itself apart from its competition.

MUSA Did What #4: Sem 1 BEGONE!
Very much like Steven Grant in Moon Knight, I feel as if reaching Week 12 has been a definite out of body experience that has left me with more questions than answers (How did I get here?? When did I get here?? Why do I have 25 unread emails from lecturers??) Fortunately, as the final…
Favorite Crime: My favorite liar
I remember being the age when I could barely reach up to push the ninth-floor button of the elevator to my apartment, and only if I tip-toed and stretched my arm to the fullest. I remember that just around this age, I lied to my mother. I don’t quite recall what the lie was about…
Favorite Crime: 5 Stages of Grief
They say there are five stages of grief. Stage 1: Denial I’m okay. No, I’m not I don’t miss you. I miss you so much that the mere mention of your name renders me powerless Why did it have to be you? I don’t know. There are so many things that, deep in my heart…
Favorite Crime: It’ll Be Okay
A short story inspired heavily by Shawn Mendes’s It’ll Be Okay. Are we gonna make it? The thought ran wildly through my mind. A slow decay, that’s the reality of us. Yes, life happens and it occasionally gets in the way. But I sensed it began with fewer texts, fewer calls, less of everything that…
Mother, Am I Woman Now?
Mother, I wore that dress you bought, it’s pink, with frills around the bottom. You did my hair up in that ponytail and made me wear some lipstick. You told me girls are supposed to look pretty all the time. I’m five, but I hope I’m more of a girl now. Mother, it’s hard for…
MONCH! @ Luckin Kopi
*This article features a halal restaurant Located in the heart of KL, a cosy unassuming restaurant sits between rows of buildings in Jalan Panggong. The exterior of the restaurant is simple with a touch of traditional nostalgia as seen by the wooden details of the entrance. We made the mistake of coming right during lunch…
Monash Sri Lankan Protest: Fighting for Home
“You messed with the wrong generation.” Sri Lanka, the beautiful island nation in the heart of the Indian Ocean, currently faces the worst economic and political crisis since the country’s independence. Over 22 million people have been left to fend for their own without access to food, water, gas, electricity, and medicine, all by a…
Butterfly Effect: Phantom Limb
“You don’t want a sibling. They’re tedious, annoy the shit out of you and honestly if they’re younger than you, you might just end up taking care of them instead of your parents.” A lot of people have told me how fortunate I am, having been born the only child, allowing myself to be the…
Butterfly Effect: The Road Taken Looks Real Good Now
I love the idea of filmmaking and storytelling. Always have, and probably always will. I love the way ideas, visions, dreams, come to life on the screen. The nuances in how emotion, setting, and ambience is portrayed in film. It’s something I could talk about for hours. And so naturally, when it came time for…
Butterfly Effect: Missing Signal(s)
What does it mean when someone texts you first? Is it out of necessity because of work? Is it out of boredom? Is it the burning curiosity you have of someone else? And what is the appropriate reaction anyway? Do we reply politely? Do we leave them on read? Do we block and archive them…
April Thematic Month: Favorite Crime (Open to Submissions!)
“We need to talk. Look, it’s not you, it’s me…” “Maybe we should take a break.” “I love you… but…” We’ve all been there. We’ve all heard the million and one iterations of this message. No matter how nicely they put it or how much they attempt to soften the blow by “wanting to stay…
