Oh, holiday!

By Syarifah Hadli

Yes. It’s the season to be jolly, again. The sales are back. The frantic Hari Raya songs is in the air, in every mall you stepped in. I bet you are reading this from your home. You lucky, lucky people. I am still here in USM. Typing this silly posting, for your pleasure. Well, actually, not really. It’s only if you find reading through my writing is pure bliss, which I doubt.

Campus elections

By Shamala Suresh Kee 

The heat of campus elections is on.  Hundreds of people are propagating in behalf of their chosen candidates. Words of mouth are passed around to ensure certain favorites are chosen in the election. The date to cast the votes happens to be today, the 2nd of October 2007. This is why the lecturers are lectures and tutorials requested to exempt the students from their lectures and tutorials from 8 am to 11 am. To fulfill their obligations as Campus Citizens and cast their ballots.

Lifestyle of the not-so-rich-and-famous

By Syarifah Hadli

“Broooooooooooke!!!” I screamed as I opened my wallet, which is filled with receipts in the first place anyways. The only Ringgit bills that were left in my wallet were the bills with number 1 stamped on it. RM1 times 4. And that makes RM4. At this point, my not-so-beautiful-moment in my life, I look back and tried to track back where the heck does my Ringgits flow into.

Opening of the new semester: Cool. Everyone seems gleaming with happiness. I can see people dancing once the ATM machine heaved out their PTPTN money. Lining up for an hour ahead of what it appear as, hundreds of other PTPTN monger, seems like nothing because they know what’s in store for them. Because once they have their hands on the sweet smelling bills, they high up above the sky, dancing with the birds, stomping on clouds. Okay, I’m exaggerating. But don’t you just feel like dancing once your bank account is loaded with taxpayers’ money? I don’t know about you but it sounds excellent to me!
