Sumandak Talk

HAPPY 65TH NATIONAL DAY, MALAYSIA! If you think Sabahan still live on trees, this episode is for you. In this collab, we share a lil insight into Sabahan and Chinese culture with the special help of Kawaii Vio sisters.

The 23rd of June is officially our anniversary! In for the celebration, we play mini games (mostly reminiscing) and compare our MBTI.

Lala summarizes her 14 weeks of History classes, shares the most important concept of History (such as the two basic principles) and things that change her perspective. Jannah also shares a historical research in medicine.

Yes. Did you guys remember that Avril released a new album early this year? After so long? You know what other thing is new? Lala has a new life as a postgraduate!

Jannah shares her struggles living outside Malaysia, and how she impulsively went back because due to some personal issues. And we update our 2022 goals, which was... Let's say it's still a goal. A distant one.....

As Sabahan living in the Peninsular Malaysia, we are surrounded by stereotypical things e.g. "tinggal atas pokok". In this episode, we confront peep —the fated representative of WM— on things we face and hear then and now. (Disclaimer: All curiosities and arguments are based on personal experience and opinion.)

Ever wonder what will happen after you complete your thesis? You write, spend days and nights, weeks and maybe months and that's it? This episode puts a sweet twist; people can gain, discover and be reminded through our discussion on Minimalism: An Islamic Perspective.

Jannah is feeling a little homesick so we discuss food she eats in India that arouses her craving for home food, while Lala shares her meal prepping experience.

Pejam celik pejam celik, eh eh already 2022? In this episode, we look back at how we spent our 2021 and how much have changed. We talk about our personal issues and struggles that we endured through this year, and listen to each other pouring our hearts out. The conversation gets deeper as the night goes later...

We discuss films recommendation. That's it.

Lala fangirls over All Too Well 10 minute version while Jannah shares her experience dealing with literal human bodies and bones (and sleeping with them).

As we promised: A VERY SPECIAL EPISODE THAT MARKS OUR NEW BEGINNING!  All actors, including the playwright/director, of this short comedy drama are unpaid. No prior experience in said professions. Any amateurism is the case for this wholesome project. Thank you to Jannah, the amazing friend/host/sister, Khairi, Ruwaym and Adam for being part of it and never hesitated once, when I proposed, to voice act. Most grateful--The playwright.  Music & sound effects: Pixabay

This week's episode we look back at the life of our ancestors. It took us by surprise that it was rather organized and systematic with the documentation in general. We learnt about what happened during chartered rule, Japanese occupation and the crown colony (1881-1963).

Jannah doesn't know what's normal anymore. Is the ability of imagination normal? Phantazein, fantosme, phantasm, fantasy but make it unactive, Aphantasia?

So many stories from the past surface in this episode (Hint: mean girls, cinta monyet?). Oh, and Squid Game? We couldn't let it pass under our nose!

We found out that we experience very different peer pressure in school but similar in adulthood. Press play to hear us compare (and reminiscing good ol' days) the pressure now and then.

We're back with new episode, new season! In this comeback episode we talk about the meaning of being an adult and somehow even end up discussing about our 'thoughts' on Malaysian film industry.

We'll come back stronger. See you soon.

Everyone failed at some point. We learned about each other's failure and it left us shook. But it's not just us. We bring along our friends and listeners onto the podium. Season 1's finale is easily an ooze of wisdom.

Not sure if this is a movie review or rant. Put it this way: An aftermath of watching Security (2021). Available on Netflix for streaming.

Double 6 is a well known tragedy that happened in Sabah almost 45 years ago. But is it merely a tragedy or a political sabotage? One cannot learn history then neglect geography. We also read the world map in the latter. Is there 4 or 7 continents? Does Middle East fall under Asia or Europe? Press play to find out.

As Conan a.k.a Shinichi Kudo once said: One truth prevails! In this episode we discuss about the case of Menendez brothers and the convicted killer of Sophie Toscan du Plantier.

Sharing turns ranting is what this episode all about. We shake it off with our 7 years worth of university suffering for freshies pre-caution.

We have a LOT in common but does that include our love language?

This episode we bring you a guest! Played a little game and discovered how men (and women) view relationship. Had a few disagreements but no casualty reported.

For our first episode, we introduce ourselves and share some stories on how we ended up where we meet. What is Tahfiz al-Quran? Is it wrong to not continue studying Quran? Why did we choose to stray from the typical path?

Literally an ear peek. We will introduce ourself and talk a little about our vision on Sunday. So, stay tuned!
