Echo Eats: Malaysian Childhood Snacks You Miss

First and foremost, we, from Sunway Echo Media, would like to wish every Malaysian a Happy Independence Day! For this month’s Echo Eats, we thought of taking you, our dear readers, on a trip down memory lane; reminiscing on the wide array of savoury, sweet and cooling snacks you enjoyed whilst growing up in Malaysia (hopefully, spurring you to go on a hunt for them). Without further ado, let’s begin!

Hush

Moonlight seeps in through the gaps between the clouds, a welcome luminosity against the sky, dark and dreary as per usual. A chilling breeze grazes past Maria’s cheek, and she digs her nails into her palms to stop herself from shuddering, leaving little, crescent-shaped indents in them.

Independence Day Celebrations Across the World

“Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!” The echoes of our forefathers, who were vocally opposed to the treacherous prospects of a Malayan Union. The 31st of August serves as a reminder that we are no longer subjects of the British. To this day (certainly before 2020), Malaysians gather in places such as the Putra Square and their respective living rooms to commemorate national sovereignty.

Astrology with Echo: Leo Season

It’s Leo season (July 23 - August 22), baby! And we all know what that means, it’s time to channel our inner Beyoncé, wear our brightest red lipstick and stay fierce. This season, it’s all about the fire, fire, fire. It’s the time to hustle hard, manifest all our hopes and dreams, and turn them into reality.

Independent Thinking

It’s so easy to get lost in the same loop of our thoughts, truly believing that what we think is our own true perception of life. But how certain can we be that these are fundamentally our own thoughts? Are they not merely an amalgamation of other people’s opinions that we subconsciously decided to piece together to make it solely our own? They might even be fragments and echoes of other people that we found ourselves admiring and yearned to be. It leads us to beg the question: how do we truly know if our thoughts are our own?

Being Lonely vs Being Independent

It gets lonely. To carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, to battle terrifying monsters that block your paths, to climb mountain after mountain trying to reach the top - only to return home, with medals hanging around your neck and no one to show them to.

The Road to Unity

Imagine a world where unity is preserved. A driving force for a harmonious land of unending peace, where acceptance of our differences overrules tolerance, and the peoples’ love and understanding for one another lends respect to every human being. Will racism always be a one of the barriers and the reality that we face, leaving a place like this to only exist within the realms of the paracosm that is built in our minds?

Poems: Injustice in Verses

Dedicated to all the lives lost to injustice. You will not be forgotten. We are the change we yearn, With trembling hands we fear, Our minds will be unable to turn, From the unchanging ideals we silently discern, With wavering voices that yield to silence, As we blindly spectate acts of violence.
