A humble businessman from the New World once said, "Telling a teenager the facts of life is like giving a fish a bath". Arnold H. Glasow belonged to a meagre but burgeoning percentage of the adult population who can truly say that they place their faith in the youth - or at least acknowledge their keen eye for life's harsh realities. It's known that the youth of today are more well-informed than ever, what with the multitude of news-sharing platforms available to anyone with access to the Internet (55% of the population, by the way).
To kickstart the joyous month of April, Sunway Peer Counselling Volunteers (PCV) organized the event, Positive Me +++ in hopes of cultivating awareness of how important “positivity” is as well as instilling an optimistic attitude among the students around campus. The entire event was held in the Art Gallery in Sunway University.
The first birthday.
It was unsurprising the parents would throw a party to commemorate the special occasion. Cake, candle, presents, singing and clapping. Even if the tot of honour wouldn’t really understand what was going on.
I just wished I wasn’t strung along for the madness, but Mum insisted I went with it. Paid me handsomely to clam up the complaints and head down to the shops for something appropriate.
“I don’t think we should be endorsing this charade,” I said, but my protests fell on deaf ears.
“Your aunt would really appreciate this. He’s her first child, after all.”
Sunway has solidified its position as the undisputed bubble tea capital of Malaysia, with a plethora of options to choose from within close proximity of the campus to which the probing question - “Where do I get my boba cravings fixed?” will often come to mind.

A month dedicated to publishing content that celebrates womanhood while also highlighting some serious aspects of it… It took me a while to carve my endless thoughts on the topic down to one article in particular but here I am and I’m going to start with a story.
“In a land far far away, there lived a beautiful princess, locked in a tower…”
Wait, wait, I have to stop myself right there. Let’s face it, you know where this story goes and so do I. We’ve heard it a thousand times before.
The million-dollar question here is - Why are women still drastically under-represented? What is deterring women from running for office? Perhaps simply, politics isn't a woman's cup of tea?
On the 23rd of February and the 3rd of March, the Asia Leadership Conference (ALC) took place in Sunway University in the form of a 1-day leadership conference. Featuring Harvard Teaching Fellows, participants were exposed to various leadership activities to learn what is ‘real leadership’, through a mixture of plenary sessions and interactive workshops. The theme for this year’s Asia Leadership Youth Conference was “Personal Leadership: 21st Century Skills to Navigate through Changing Times”.v
Written by Fajar binti Benjamin // Look, I am the target audience for Captain Marvel, so to disentangle my hopes and my knee-jerk defensiveness from the reality of this movie was a herculean task. There was a lot of bad press around this movie that I was willing to ignore as long as the movie delivered on what I'd been deriving from fanfiction and what if posts on Tumblr from as young as 15. Steve Rogers as a woman, Tony Stark as a woman, Natasha Romanoff as a more prominent character, stories that utilised the unique experiences of being a girl, set in a world I've desperately wanted to be a part of for so long.
