For the past two months, have you noticed cat posters around campus? Perhaps it was placed above a trash can, or stuck onto a lamp post outside the kopitiam? You…
“That’s right, I killed Santa.” The words were out of my mouth, sharp and final, as I watched the light dim in my five-year-old son’s eyes. My heart clenched, painfully…

My father cuts fruits for us every day, without fail. At 9pm we munch on slices of pear and watch Japanese news because it's the only channel worth watching anymore. The cat ignores me yet again to lie down in front of the TV. Sometimes my mother makes a disparaging comment about Japanese fashion being weird, but that's fine. It's still fun to watch.
This is what family is to me, I guess. An uncomfortably hot evening spent in silence again and again. No grand gestures, just plain old routine. That's what families are built on, anyway. A routine that repeats and repeats and before you know it, a quiet love is forged.
Hero.
Two syllables, one word.
What pops into your mind when you hear it?
A caped, underwear-on-the-outside superman flying high in the sky? A firefighter, saving babies from blazing buildings? Or perhaps that one person who gave you money for the bus fare when you left your wallet at home.
Triplet 2.0: Untold Stories Unforgettable Warfare was an orchestra concert organized and made up of musicians from Sunway, Monash and Taylor’s University all working together to make up a fully-fledged 140 piece orchestra. Alone, each orchestra would not be able to complete the roster needed to play the complex and mesmerizing pieces we were serenaded with over the weekend of May 10th and 11th, but together, they had enough members to pull off a truly professional and impressive concert, which was well worth the RM38 ticket price.

The challenges of life, especially at the brink of adulthood, often tend to be tough and depressing. There’s so much to do and so little time. Doors that once seemed as open as a mother's arms have suddenly sealed shut, and the ones that remain open beckon towards a path with fewer helping hands. It does seem like a lonely trek, doesn’t it?

It is a well-known fact that music impacts our mood. Undoubtedly, some of the most renowned songs are about dark, depressing and tragic stories such as Slow Dancing in the Dark by Joji, The A Team by Ed Sheeran, I Don't Love You by MCR and so many more. Most indie or ‘hippie’ artists today share a common melancholic undertone in their music that people indulge in because they find a sense of comfort in having pain shared (we know we do!).

Tsamina mina eh eh, waka waka eh eh! The nostalgic song, Waka Waka by Shakira could be heard booming from Sunway University’s Art Gallery on the 2nd of May 2019. Sunway International Student Ambassadors (SISA) held an event called African Night, with the purpose to celebrate and educate Sunway students about the diverse cultures in Africa, and most importantly for the students to have fun. Each of the performances held that night represented each country found in Africa.
Sometimes the happiest moments in our lives are just good music
A drive, a conversation with an old friend
Hot chocolate while it rains.
Nature, as it unfolds before your eyes.
It’s lying on your back watching the sky
Some silence,
Soft, dreamlike moments
that come and slip away
Leaving us stunned, unable to describe how we feel.
