SPM: Without Sekolah Edition

“Calling all Form Five students of 2020! You did it!”

With the pandemic going on, 2020s SPM students had it rough. What was supposed to be a 1 year long worth of classes to prep for SPM became 14 months until SPM 2020 started. It was the SPM to be remembered through the decades, as it is the longest annual SPM in the history of Malaysia. With all the postponing and switching to online classes, this batch of students went through fire and water just to sit for this exam. And all was worth it when the results day came on 10 June 2021.

Beer & Skittles: F.R.I.E.N.D.S Reunion

The well-known orange couch at Central Perk, the iconic fountain and the golden frame hung on the purple door. All of that brings back memories for the cast of Friends, an American television sitcom created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman. Lasting for as long as 10 seasons from September 22, 1994, to May 6, 2004, the series revolved around six friends in their 20s and 30s who live in Manhattan, New York City. Throughout the series, fans got to know each of the characters of the show and grew up with them, which include Rachel Green (played by Jennifer Aniston), Monica Geller (played by Courteney Cox), Phoebe Buffay (played by Lisa Kudrow), Joey Tribbiani (played by Matt LeBlanc), Chandler Bings (played by Matthew Perry) and Ross Geller (played by David Schwimmer). And finally, after the series officially ended, they are back! Since the finale, the cast have only been in a room together only once, until now. 17 years later, HBO presents everyone with Friends: The Reunion.

Covid-19: Virus Variants and Vaccines Explained

People often say that most of the time, the world works like clockwork: things always happen the way they were meant to. However, if any one person were asked over a year ago what they had imagined their next decade would look like, no one would have an accurate answer on depicting the following months, days or even years. No one would have foreseen the world at a complete standstill, at its wits’ end. No one would call this clockwork. It has been 523 days since COVID-19 was first reported in Wuhan, China. 447 days (as of 8th June 2021) since the very genesis of Malaysia’s MCOs and yet here we are, almost 500 days later, back at square one.
