What was on everyone’s mind during last year’s November? Judging by the looks of excitement on the faces of the girls, the beads of sweat developing on the foreheads of the boys, and the overriding aura of unbridled happiness on the faces of each and every Taylor’s Hartamas student; The end of examination season. To some, it was a beginning of a new phase of stress and idle desperation, to

When the society is growing towards visual oriented marketing business culture, it has been a war among business entities to attract consumers with colors, perceived performance and sex appeals just to grasp consumers’ attention to convince the consumers to purchase the product. In addition, vulgar wordings that are perceived to be ‘cool’ are used more often for attention seeking. To me, it

Facebook. Just the mere mention of it transmits tacit acknowledgement amongst teens around the globe. Scratch that. People around the globe. However, it’s really the teens who take pleasure in it. What do you do when you possess an iPhone and it gets dull during classes? Facebook. What do you do the second you arrive home and turn on your computer? Facebook. What do you do when night falls?

  As students rode the escalator up to the top floor of Taylor’s College Sri Hartamas on the 29th of July 2011, they were greeted by members of various clubs and societies seizing them up like they were the last few pieces of meat at a market. Well, that may be an overstatement, but to say otherwise would be a euphemism as well. The cheeky yet cut-throat level of competition which hung thickly in

“You are a wizard Harry”, “The boy who lived”, “The Chosen One”. Now I think it’s a safe bet for me to say that practically everybody who’s anybody knows those quotes like the back of their hand. No?

17th July 2011 marked another important milestone for the organizing team of Jog for Hope as they managed to make the event a huge success.

Let me first establish the fact that there are many types of cheating – cheating on a test, cheating your way through a cheap sale (bargain!), cheating death (I may have watched the Final Destination saga on too many occasions), cheating on a game, the list goes on. It’s not always wrong.. In the example of the bargain, it’s just economics. Pareto optimal allocation, you know? As long as both you

Frozen yoghurt is a recent introduction to the Malaysian palate, with outlets such as TuttiFrutti introducing a variety of delicious, refreshing, and (arguably!) low-calorie frozen delights to our stomachs and to our easily-emptied wallets.

Phobias, they can creep into your life and change it forever. It can cause an immense fear in someone, a fear so great it can drive them to do incomprehensible things. It’s funny just how much one’s phobia can affect them in their daily activities, don’t you think? There are known to be many types of phobias. For example, some people are unable to leave the house due to the fear of sunlight.

Circus. A whisper of that word and almost immediately, our minds fall back into those fleeting childhood memories that Disney has painted for us. Though we don’t have Mickey Mouse prancing around other singing animals in the circus, in this motion picture, the vivid scene of a circus is very much similar.

Cinderella loses her glass slipper and runs home at the stroke of midnight. The prince finds her missing slipper and tracks her down, and the rest is history. (Or a fairytale, anyway.) Or so I’ve heard. But back to reality, on 29th April 2011, the world bore witness to a dream come true for most girls – marrying a prince. However, that girl isn’t me.

Torchlight, check. Mosquito repellent, check. T-shirts and track bottoms, check and check.

The ground floor of Taylor’s College Sri Hartamas was abuzz with noise, the smell of doughnuts and the sight of brightly coloured satin and cotton on Friday, April 22, 2011.

Every artist’s vision and mission is to create an art of ‘the finest quality’. Yet, I’ve often questioned the suitability of phrase ‘the finest quality’. Does a canvas that looks like someone just threw buckets of paint of different colours onto it fall under the category of ‘quality art’? Art? In my lifetime, I was dragged to a couple of art exhibitions by my mother, who apparently seemed to

It is a fact that Malaysians tend to gravitate towards the United Kingdom for further studies instead of other countries like America.

Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl. Underdogs face insurmountable odds, and crush them with pride and aplomb amidst show-stopping choreography, usually found in the form of either street dancing or ballroom dancing.

The Rotaract Club hosted the French Masquerade Ball at TCSH on 24 September after realising that there’s a growing need to break down inter-cultural barriers. Psychologists believe that one of the major causes of racial prejudice is when one party doesn’t know enough about the other. So, in order to overcome our ignorance of a particular culture, it is best to begin by learning about it. The

The Beacon is a compilation of the best articles written by the Editorial Board of TCSH in the course of one year. It is undoubtedly the culmination of a year’s work.

Did you know that 7.9 million people died from cancer last year? Well most of us certainly didn’t but after the national cancer week campaign at Taylor’s College Sri Hartamas, the colours of the cause and the facts of the killer disease were well drilled into many.

18th of July 2010. That was the date the organizing team of Jog For Hope had been trying to imprint into everyone’s head for the past four months. From shameless pestering in the college hallways to serious convincing over metal surfaces in corporate offices, the organizing team was determined to make Jog For Hope 2010 a BIG success. Prior to last year’s event which raked funds of over RM10 000

From the 2nd of July till the 4th of July 2010, the TCSH Model United Nations (MUN) held their second MUN conference. During these three hectic days, the TCSH campus played host to an array of delegates from all over Kuala Lumpur.

The commencement day of the Orientation Week at TCSH was unquestionably the most anticipated day for our International Baccalaureate freshmen. It was held on 5th of July 2010 at the Beta Theatre.

Camp is almost always two things: dreadful initially and fun just about the time it ends. Soaring the Eagle Camp organised by PETRONAS for their scholars at TCSH, was no different. During the June 2010 semester break, for 6 days, the scholars were shipped off to Casa Rachado at Cape Rachado, Port Dickson to attend a seminar-style course cum camp.

Drugs present a grave threat to the beautiful and peaceful world our forefathers envisioned for us. For some of us, having been protected from exposure all our lives thus far; drug abuse is an unfamiliar issue. However, the rest of us know a little more about it and realize that its threats are thinly veiled beneath the façade of a functional, wholesome society. Hence, from the 5th to the 7th of

June 28 was a busy day at TCSH. You might be wondering “Wasn’t that a holiday?” Indeed it was, but while every other student was still getting their share of shut eye, the college was very much alive with student ambassadors and administration staff setting up booths for the June 2010 intake. Location: Alpha Theatre. There was a mixed vibe in the theatre. While most students looked wide awake

As we all know, the city is no longer a safe place in the world today, especially with the crime rates increasing almost every year. How do we survive in this dangerous world, then?

Done with College, throw a party and then bring on university. The 2009 January intake went out with a BANG and came dressed to the nines for their last night of chaperoned partying. Yeah, you heard right, the Spring Equinox was the event to be at this June.

On the 14th of June, Taylors College Sri Hartamas played host to over 50 Form 5 students from various secondary schools all over KL.

“The food smells so good…” Student council member Wong Rui Ching groaned as the smell of cooked food wafted through the hall, causing a few jaws to involuntarily masticate.
