News: What messes with your head
Three years of Eid abroad
Eid celebrations (or Raya as we call it in Malaysia) began to look a little different to me in 2020.
The magic of a garden
After having lived in small apartments/units for the past four years, helping my siblings build a small veggie garden at home has filled me with some unexpected joy.
Pomodoro breaks
I love those 'Study with Me' pomodoro YouTube videos as much as the next person, but I never know what do when my five minute break starts!
Students who are parents
I joined the university’s mentoring program in my first year as an HDR student. I am so grateful I was assigned my mentor. She has stuck with me through all the disruptions during my Ph.D. candidature.
Electoral bombardment
Flicking on the TV or scrolling through Facebook lately has been giving me an election information-overload headache.
