THE TEAM FROM THE EDITOR
So, heres the truth. We were wondering what we could possibly write about to make our readers sit up and pay attention. Sure, there are many ways to go about it. We could pen daring opinion pieces to get a debate going or we could talk about taboo topics such as sex, drugs, rock and roll. Then, we remembered that it was the holidays for a majority of
you! With that in mind, we thought itd be apt to talk about something that some of you might be interested in but never dared try.
Extreme sports.The challenge was to not just scratch the surface of the topic but to deep dive and hear it from
the experts themselves! Luckily for us, we managed to secure a couple of interviews from some of the worlds esteemed sportspeople. In our Career Chat (pages 44 and 45), we spoke to world-famous Hungarian aerobatics pilot and world champion air racer, Peter Besenyei. Yes, the same man who has, for many years now, spearheaded the Red Bull Air Race and doesnt bat an eyelash while doing impressive aerial manoeuvers and breathtaking tricks.
What does one wear for sports? Does sporting attire always have to be in black or blue? Most definitely not! We give you no excuse to dress up and look good even while running, jumping, kicking and sweating it out in our Fashion Trend (pages 28 and 29) and Guys Stuff (pages 34 and 35). But what good is working out to maintain your fitness if youre not #cleaneating right? Find out more about the #cleaneating movement in our Wellness section (page 65).
We also interviewed young and hardworking top skateboarder Farris Rahman, who has recently joined the league of Red Bulls stable of sportspeople, big names that youd definitely recognise such as Sebastian Vettel, Thierry Henry and Neymar. He debunks all myths that skating is a rebellious sport and dishes on the art of it. Get the real deal in our Arts & Culture (pages 48 and 49).
On top of that, weve packed six pages with pictures and details on the various types of extreme sports available in the world. Which ones are the most dangerous? Who are some of the worlds most famous extreme sportspeople? What does Tony Hawk (yes, THE Tony Hawk) have to say about putting his life on the line for his career? All of that are in pages 38 till 43.
Are you ready for an adventure? Brace yourselves!

Produced in collaboration with KDU University College and IMI University Centre (IMI), the six-part 30-minute-per-episode series stars Malaysian
celebrity Awal Ashaari and aired regionally across
12 territories in Asia. The audience were treated to a play-by-play with Awal as he went down the road of discovery and took on the challenge of opening his own bistro. His challenge was to learn the secrets behind running a successful F&B business in a very limited amount of time. Week after week, the actor-turned-host took on tough culinary challenges set by his lecturers ranging from preparing gourmet dishes to creating an inviting dining atmosphere. Awals exciting journey at KDU University College opened his eyes to the important elements of setting up a successful restaurant business in Malaysia. Sharing his views, KDU University College Vice Chancellor Professor Dr. Khong Yoon Loong said, At KDU, we are committed to providing our students with only the best learning experience to further themselves in their respective careers. On top of their academic programmes, we embed elements of our E3-Boosters initiatives which include English proficiency, EQ development and Entrepreneurship for our students. Awal went through a culinary crash course at our School of Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Arts (SHTCA) and we trust that his experience at KDU University will arm him with the skills and knowledge to open his own bistro.For programme information, images and episodic synopsis for How to Make It: Culinary Dreams, please visit www.asianfoodchannel.com/howtomakeit.

KDU Students StageFirst Ever BroadwayMusical For Charity
The One Academy Students AttendGlobal Digital Marketing Seminar
Taylors University launched its first community inspired book entitled Almost HOME, consisting of
a compilation of inspiring stories from marginalised children. The initiative is a collective effort by the
universitys students and staff spearheaded by the Taylors University Centre for Languages. We applaud
our students and staff who selflessly shared their time and talents to develop this book. The objective of
the initiative was to share these first hand stories depicting various realities laced with hope and life values
with Malaysias youth nationwide. Through this project, Taylors University has also been able to humanise
learning by getting our students to learn outside the classroom. This is aligned to the universitys goal of
producing productive graduates in the local and global community, said Taylors University Deputy Vice
Chancellor, Pradeep Nair. The project began when students from Taylors University Centre for Languages were tasked with bringing community stories to the attention of todays younger generation. The students
kick-started the exercise by enlisting the assistance of teachers from schools which engaged with marginalised
children to organise an essay competition. Fifteen most impactful personal stories written by these children
were selected and adapted into short stories for the book. Illustrations were then developed by Taylors University students and staff to reflect the essence of the stories.

performance called My Life is Like a Broadway Musical at the Damansara Performing Arts Centre

position themselves in this competitive industry, following the footsteps of our current successful students
Elfira Loy and Neeta Manisha, he said. Rumah Kanak-Kanak Angels Administrator Belinda Chew, said, We
are grateful that KDU University College recognises and understands the needs of the community. As a higher
learning institution, it is admirable to teach and be role models to its students, highlighting the importance
of charity with a sincere heart in helping those in need. The musical performance featured original parodies
and remakes of the songs from Grease, High School Musical, Mamma Mia, Wicked and Hairspray.

Walker had completed much of his part in filming Fast and Furious 7 before he died in November last year aged 40, in a high-speed car crash in California. Walker played Brian
OConner, an undercover federal agent. His brothers Caleb and Cody will replace him to finish shooting for the film. Our family experienced an unthinkable shock in
November. We had to take time to grieve Paul, the brother we love and lost, and to figure out if we should move on with our film. We came together and all felt the only choice was to continue. We believe our fans want that, and we believe Paul would want that too. Paul had already shot his dramatic scenes and most of his action for Fast and Furious 7, and its among the strongest work of his career, they said in a statement on the films Facebook page. They added, We have resumed shooting and
now welcome Pauls brothers, Caleb and Cody, into our Fast family. Caleb and Cody are helping us complete some remaining scenes for their brother and fill in small gaps left in production. Having them on set has made us all feel that Paul is with us too. The film is now due to be released on 10th April 2015.
Paul Walkers Brothers To Finish Fast and Furious 7
For a decade, popular TV series How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM) was so loved that it became ingrained in our personalities. We make jokes about them and even spoke like them, quoting them word for word, whether we realised it or not. What makes HIMYM fans so attached to Ted, Marshall, Lily, Barney and Robin? Maybe its because the cast was like a group of friends that the fans hung out with every week. As it is, the separation proved to be hard but with a finale that broke (some) hearts and frustrated the rest, it drove conversations on social media platforms into a frenzy. Fans, especially, are calling it the worst series finale ever! The good news is that HIMYM co-creator Carter Bays just announced that theyre releasing an alternative ending! Heres a bit of news: 16 days ago today we were in the HIMYM edit room, trying to decide between two very different endings. We only shot one script, but through edit room magic we had two possible outcomes for the series. We chose the ending we chose and we stand by it. But we loved the other version too, he explained. So get your hands on the complete series DVD box later this year for the alternative (and perhaps happier) HIMYM ending.

On pole position, Lewis Hamilton dominated the
Malaysian Grand Prix to take Mercedes second
victory of the season. Hamilton was joined on the
podium by his team-mate Nico Rosberg and Infiniti
Red Bull Racings Sebastian Vettel. Former world
champion Fernando Alonso finished fourth despite
colliding with Daniil Kvyat of Toro Rosso, followed
by Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo and Ferraris Kimi
Raikkonen. Caterhams Marcus Ericsson crashed in
the first qualifying session, losing control of his car
and hitting into a wall. After the truly challenging
race, Hamilton said, Today was just incredible, how
much, firstly, it rained before qualifying and then
during the session it was very, very tricky out there
I think for everyone. Particularly at the end it was
almost impossible to see anything. During my last
lap I just couldnt see a thing behind (Force Indias
Nico) Hulkenberg. I couldnt see where the track
went, didnt know where the corners were, when to
brake. Vettel had different opinions altogether. Even
though he was only fractionally behind Hamilton in
qualifying, Vettel suggested Mercedes was the team
to beat Sunday. I think Mercedes as a team has the
best package. Theyve done a very good job across
the break, he told reporters.

FREE BROW BRUSHThe next time you replace your mascara (every three to six months to protect your eyes from bacteria), save the wand and run it through soap and water for a free brow spoolie!
QUICK FRESH HAIR Dry shampoo can be expensive. Try using a pinch of corn starch and massage it gently on your scalp until it absorbs most of the oil. If you think that using corn starch is yucky, baby powder works just as well too. It may be a little messy and can make your roots look like you have dandruff if you dont massage it thoroughly. So take some time to rub it in completely with your fingers.
DRY NAIL POLISH IN A JIFFYJust dip your painted nails into a bowl of ice water and wait until it no longer feels sticky.
FAST DRYING HAIRDont fancy going out with damp hair and no time to blow-dry? Use paper towels to soak up excess water instead of regular towels. Its effective and doesnt frizz your hair up.
SHARP SHADOWS Magic tape is your best friend! Line the tape from the corner of your eyelid to the edge of your eyebrow for a perfect guide. Use your finger or a clean brush to gently blend the harsh edges of eyeshadow to soften the look. Perfection!
EASY GLOWDont fret when youre out of your usual BB cream. Mix 1:1 ratio of foundation and moisturiser for fresh and dewy looking skin. Use a moisturiser that comes with SPF+++ so you can skip applying sunscreen separately to save time. Fabulous!
REVIVE DRY MASCARA Just add two to three drops of contact lens solution or eye drops and stir the tube with the wand. Voila, as good as new! Of course, the rule of thumb is not to pump your mascara because it pushes air in and dries out your mascara quickly. Also, if your mascara is too old, trash it because it is not worth saving.
EVERLASTING SEXY LIPSMake your lip colour last longer by blotting the first layer with tissue paper then gently dust a light layer of loose or translucent powder over your lips. Finally, add another layer of lipstick with a lip brush for that precise done-up pout.
CLUMP-LESS LASHES FOREVERSome new mascaras come with a wet and heavy formula. This may weigh your lashes down and cause clumping. A simple tip is to wipe off the excess product on the brush with tissue before application. Youll get those beautifully separated lashes every time!
MAKE YOUR PRODUCTS WORK OVERTIMERemember these formulas. Lipstick can double up as a cream blusher; lip balm works great to tame unruly brows; and matte brown eye shadow can be used to fill in those scanty brows and contour your face too. Multitasking your products will help you keep your makeup bag light and save your money too!
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know youre an artist.

With all the promises made to seduce you into buying products, its bound to get confusing and ultimately make you unsure of what to believe. Here are a couple of
common myths and facts that you should know about to help maintain clear skin.
MythI scrub my face every day to keep my skin clean.Its time to stop this habit because over-exfoliating your skin can strip skin of its essential oils and possibly spread bacteria. Its recommended to only scrub two to three times a week to remove dead skin cells.
MythOily skin doesnt age as easily.We wish this was true but the fact is that every persons skin will age as time passes. It may appear less visible on the skin because of the oil but premature ageing can still happen if its not cared for. So take note ladies!
FactSkin becomes drier with age. Its true, all skin becomes drier with age because your body naturally produces less moisture and natural oil over time. So, be glad that you have oily skin type!
MythSunscreen will cause more oil production. Not all sunscreens will increase oil production on your face. Most of the new and sophisticated formulations wont clog pores! Some even contain oil-absorbing microsponges to help keep skin matte.
MythI dont need to use moisturiser. Oily skin needs hydration too. Drying out oily skin may cause your body to produce even more oil. Remember, cleansing, toning and moisturising are the three basic skincare steps for all skin types. All you have to do is to pick the right moisturiser.
FactOily skin can be controlled. Definitely true. With a proper skincare regimen and lifestyle, shiny skin can turn to healthy, glowing skin. Using products that come with Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), and pairing them with a regular application of clarifying mask can not only help reduce the appearance of oily skin but also improve skin texture.
Weve heard so much of the dos and donts for oily skin but some of the quick fixes and regimens dont work as claimed.
This innovative skin-saver helps combat excess sebum and control surface shine while purifying and refreshing your complexion. It uses an active charcoal mask sheet that acts as a magnet to draw out dirt and unclog your pores. So dont get mad at oily skin, get MATTE at only RM8.90 per piece!

THE HISTORY OF THE SLEEVELESS UNDERSHIRT
MAY 2014

It was also heavily portrayed in movies such as A Streetcar Named Desire in 1951, Raging Bull in 1980, Once Were Warriors in 1994 and etc. In 1997, these tank tops were associated with popular subcultures such as street gangs and hip hop. Now, its simply known as a type of sleeveless shirt that can be worn as innerwear or outerwear.
The Big Hoo-HaAn uproar sparked when a website (www.wife-beaters.com) was launched in 2000, selling mens and womens tank tops imprinted with Wife Beater logo and offered shirts half priced to convicted abusers. The founder, James Doolin explained that he did not advocate violence and the site should be seen for its humorous side. His wife-beaters website also hosted other features such as music titled Smack My B***h Up and Wife Beater Hall of Fame page, spotlighting famous wife batterers
Wife-beaterspastlike Ike Turner and Mike Tyson. This certainly drew the ire of anti-domestic violence groups.
Some found the site extremely offensive while others considered it harmless. The National Organisation for Women President, Kim Gandy, said that it belittled domestic violence. It makes the idea of wife beating as something thats OK to joke about.
After numerous complaints to the FBI, Texas Attorney General and the Better Business Bureau, the site was finally removed from the internet in 2009.
A New EraThe term wife-beater is rarely used these days but the shirt itself has become a common attire for both men and women in this era. Available in many colours and designs, its a garment thats much loved by the runways and the streets, especially to beat the summer heat.
Before it became a popular style, the origin of the word Wife-Beater came from the stereotypical American image of a man wearing a white undershirt while physically abusing his wife.

EXTREME SPORTS ARE ALSO KNOWN AS ACTION SPORTS, AGGRO
SPORTS OR ADVENTURE SPORTS. THESE ACTIVITIES OFTEN INVOLVE
A HIGH LEVEL OF DANGER E.G. EXTREME SPEED, EXTREME LEVEL
OF PHYSICAL EXERTION AND EXTREME HEIGHT WHICH REQUIRE
HIGHLY SPECIALISED GEAR.
Contrary to popular belief, extreme sports is not something thats new to the world. Dating back to
the 1950s, it started from the days of bullfighting, motor racing and mountaineering. Back then, only these activities were widely known as sports. The rest were considered just games. Imagine that! If we lived in the 1950s, youd have to be a bullfighter to be known as an athlete!
During the 1970s, David Kirke, Chris Baker, Ed Hulton and Alan Weston founded The Dangerous Sports Club of Oxford University. They first garnered wide public attention when they invented modern day bungee jumping and effectively changed the perception that bungee jumping was a novelty activity. The sport later made it to television with the first ever televised leap from Colorados Royal Gorge Suspension Bridge. Needless to say, it
became a craze for young people and is now an established industry for thrill seekers.
Then came the 1990s when extreme sports really took off and gained popularity. Previously not sanctioned by schools, extreme sports was picked up by marketing companies to promote the multi-sport event developed by ESPN called the X Games. By that time, it was clear that extreme sports tended to be more solitary than traditional (with the exception of rafting and paintballing). In fact, unlike basketball and football players, most extreme athletes tend to individually work on their craft without the guidance of a coach. Thus, it paved the way for individuals to push their respective limits and physical boundaries. The first X Games were successfully held in the US.

HOW EXTREME IS EXTREME?
Handgliding, skydiving, cliff jumping, biking (BMX, mountain biking), rock climbing, skateboarding and white water rafting are some of the more popular extreme sports. Extreme sports by nature can be extremely dangerous and is conducive to fatalities, near-fatalities and other serious injuries. Sometimes it would even involve treading along the brink of death. However, its these elements of imminent and inherent danger in these sports that the audience and the
athletes themselves find entertaining to a certain degree.
Here are some of the worlds most dangerous extreme sports:
1. CREEKING - This is a form of extreme white water kayaking. In the 1980s, as more durable kayaks were built, extreme kayakers used their ride to plunge off steep waterfalls. The adrenaline rush brought about by the plunge is further increased by the possibility of slamming onto jagged rocks or being sucked below by the deadly force of the churning water.
2. BASE JUMPING - This is the most dangerous recreational sport in the world, with one death recorded for every 2,317 jumps. Jumpers throw themselves off one of base structures such as buildings, antennas, spans, bridges or cliffs. Parachutes are then deployed for a safe landing. Unlike skydiving, you have a much shorter time of reacting in case a parachute fails. If the parachute does fail, death is almost certain.
3. TOW-IN SURFING - Surfers love to drop off from the highest wave crests, some of which are as tall as skyscrapers. Timing is everything as the waves move so quickly that it is extremely difficult to paddle onto

them. However, the invention of the jet ski has solved this problem by being able to tow the surfers to the right spot at the right time. Surfing stars like Laird Hamilton and Dave Kalama can attest to the rush brought about by this technique. Of course, now that they are able to reach the top of the wave, they now face other dangers such as being thrown onto sharp reefs or being trapped underwater in a vicious roll when a wipe-out occurs.
4. FREE SOLOING - Rock climbing with all the necessary gear is already a technically difficult sport. Imagine removing all the safety ropes, harnesses and other equipment that can aid you in case you slip up. That is what free soloing is all about. Free soloists need to be able to support their entire weight using just their fingertips and toe tips, while maintaining intense concentration to stay on
the face of the rock lest they fall off. One tiny mistake and its game over.
5. WINGSUIT FLYING - Imagine flying off a tall structure like a superhero. Wingsuit flying entails jumping off a perch and gliding down to the ground while wearing a special suit. These suits have an estimated glide ratio of 2.5 metres for every metre of descent. Only those with experience of at least 200 skydives are allowed to try this sport. It is that dangerous.
6. ICE CLIMBING - This involves scaling formations of vertical ice, such as frozen waterfalls and cliffs covered with ice. The old method used for the sport is step cutting, which entails chipping out ice with an ice pick to create a foothold. Today, cramp-ons invented by the British in the early 20th
century allows climbers to fasten this toothed claw to their climbing boots. This has since been the basis of all advancements made in the sport. Of course, the aim is to speed up the climbing time and minimise the chance of getting frostbite because of the cold.
7. VOLCANO SURFING - This sport entails climbing up a volcano, then surfing down its side by sliding using plywood boards. The boards are reinforced by steel, metal or formica. You can do it while sitting down, though veterans of the sport can do it upright. It sounds easy enough, until you start hitting sharp volcano rocks.
8. CAVE DIVING - The famous marine scientist and explorer Jacques Cousteau pioneered this sport. It entails diving into underwater caves. And that is where the danger lies. In

case your equipment fails, the cave makes it hard for divers to make a quick ascent to the surface. Strong underwater currents are also notoriously unpredictable. Visibility is also a problem because any sudden movement will stir up sediments and disorient the diver.
9. HIGHLINING - We have all seen the tightrope act in the circus. Some clown will cross a high and tightly taut wire while using a balancing pole with a net below to catch him in case he makes a misstep. In highlining, the wire is also located high up in the air. But that is where the similarity ends, as in highlining, there is no balancing pole, no net to catch you in case you fall, and the wire is not stabilised and taut. Crossing a slack wire is infinitely more difficult than a taut one. Combine that with the absence of a safety net, the danger level is increased exponentially.
10. KITE SKIING - As if snow skiing was not exciting enough, some extreme sportsmen have invented kite skiing. It entails the use of a traction kite and a harness to pull a skier across the snow and into the air. While this is ideal in wide-open fields or frozen lakes, there are some who have taken the sport even further and have kite skied downhill along snow-covered mountainsides.

BUT IS IT REALLY DANGEROUS?
Spurred by wide media coverage, extreme sports are no longer defined by their counter-culture and non-traditional roots. Still, a large majority of the audience would think
twice or three times before taking it up themselves. Parents especially would have major reservations about supporting their kids decision to make any extreme sport his or her hobby.
In 2013, millions watched as 25-year-old Caleb Moore attempted a back flip on his snowmobile during the Winter X Games, only to wind up in an ambulance after being knocked unconscious during a crash landing. His death a few days later immediately raised real questions about the lure of such events to young daredevils, the appeal to viewers and the responsibility of organisers.

Having said that, we hear from the legend Tony Hawk himself, the worlds skateboarding poster boy (or rather, man) and ambassador
of the so-called dangers of extreme sports.
CAMPUS+ What were some of the most serious injuries you have sustained?TH: Ive had one broken bone (elbow), countless scrapes and sprains. But my most serious injuries were two concussions. I woke up and discovered that my front teeth were gone (the first time) and fake ones gone on the second time.
CP: The 900, your most amazing trick, looks dangerous! Is skateboarding dangerous?TH: Its a competitive sport but I dont want to say that its dangerous. Skateboarding is not about being a daredevil; its mostly just to push conceived limits. You dont cheat death, you just want to make possible what people think is not possible. Of course, getting hurt is part of the process, but its very calculated. You just need to know how to get out of a dangerous situation when you challenge yourself.

CP: Any advice for the aspiring skateboarders and extreme sports athletes?TH: Learn the basics, learn to fall, have proper safety equipment, learn perseverance and follow your heart.
Today, 46-year-old Tony Hawk is still known as one of the top skateboarders in the world. In his 17-year career, he won more than 70 skateboarding contests, started his own skateboarding company (Birdhouse) and even has a successful line of video games and skateboarding videos. Hes also currently spearheading the Tony Hawk Foundation (founded in 2002), where he provides grants and technical assistance for new parks, especially in low-income areas.

TAKING IT TO THERACE TRACK
INTHE SKY
THEY SAY THAT THE SKY IS THE LIMIT BUT ONE MAN HAS, FOR YEARS NOW, CHALLENGED
THAT SAYING. INTRODUCING, PETER BESENYEI, A RENOWNED HUNGARIAN
AEROBATICS PILOT AND WORLD CHAMPION AIR RACER.
MAY 2014 | CAMPUS PLUS | 45
PETER BESENYEI
WHEN YOU FLY THESE AIRPLANES YOU HAVE TO STUDY THEM MORE
THAN THE TECHNICIANS. THE MAIN THING IS TO
HAVE A SAFE RACE AND LEARN FROM IT
Born on 8th June 1956, Peter says he first became interested in flying and had dreamt of flying when he was a child. In 1921, he watched the World Aerobatic Championships,
which fuelled his determination and later cemented his decision to pursue his dreams. At the tender age of 15, he flew a glider for the first time and by the time he turned 20, he entered his first flying competition by piloting a glider. It was as though he was meant for it as he finished in second place.
He went on to become an aerobatic pilot, specialising in free-style aerobatics and won several titles in national and international championships. In fact, he also spurred a number of inventions of new original flying moves such as the knife-edge spin. In 1982, he won his first Austrian National Championships gold medal. In 1995, two gold and two silver medals and he was named the most successful aerobatics pilot of his time. In 2001 Peter flew upside down under the Szchenyi Chain Bridge that spans the river Danube in Budapest, a manoeuvre that became a standard in air races today. It was that same year that Austrian energy-drink company Red Bull asked him to help develop the concept of an air racing competition.
Today, hes a driving force behind the creation and development of the Red Bull Air Race and is sometimes referred to as the Godfather of the sport because of his pioneering work in perfecting the high-speed, low-level format. The Red Bull Air Race is a fantastic opportunity to fly low at high speeds. I really enjoy the racing and the way we fly. Its a great challenge and a great adventure. Theres nothing comparable anywhere, he said.
The first Red Bull Air Race was held in 2003 in Zeltweg, Austria. After only two years, the competition became a worldwide organisation of the Red Bull Air Race World Series! Needless to say, Peter was a top title contender in the first five years of the sport, taking first overall in the inaugural 2003 season, second three years running from 2004 till 2006 and third in 2007.
However, like any other competition, there are potential dangers of air racing. In fact, the process of choosing the most daring pilots with skills and courage to handle the extreme physical and mental challenges of the air race is a long and careful one. For Peter, he cannot stress enough that safety must always come first. He remarked, Like any other activity, aerobatic flying should be done the right way, my rule is to never show more than what I can do. When you fly these airplanes you have to study them more than the technicians. The main thing is to have a safe race and learn from it.
To date, he has flown all the aircraft used in the Red Bull Air Race, including the Zivko Edge 540, the Extra and the MXS. He progressed to become one of the most popular sportsman in his native Hungary for years thanks to his unrivalled flying successes. He was also
closely involved in the development of a special new plane called the Corvus Racer that had its debut in the middle of the 2010 season.
But what about the other things that he does? He says that hes currently a test pilot for the Hungarian Aviation Office and a flying instructor for aerobatic pilots on Zivko Edge 540. On the days when hes not busy chasing clouds, Peter also enjoys car racing, skiing, sky diving, fishing and photography.
Oh, you know, like any ordinary 58-year-old man.The Red Bull Air Race World Championship will
be back in the skies with an exhilarating seven city, seven-race series. For the first time ever, Malaysia will be hosting Southeast Asias most thrilling motor sports competition in the sky. The historic race will be held on 17th and 18th May (Saturday: Qualifying and the Challenger Cup, Sunday: Finals) in the majestic city of Putrajaya, where the race track for the aerial action will be happening at the heart of the city; the sprawling, scenic 600-hectare man-made Putrajaya Lake.
LIKE ANY OTHER ACTIVITY, AEROBATIC FLYING SHOULD BE DONE THE RIGHT WAY, MY RULE IS TO NEVER SHOW MORE THAN WHAT I CAN DO

It seems like todays younger generation have implemented their own language which only they and their peers can understand. To everyone else, it might
sound almost foreign, or as some might put it, similar to a chicken trying to understand a duck. Wouldnt you agree? Take a look at these examples of the new lingo:
ArvoGone were the days where we used full, functioning words. During our parents time, instead of arvo, one would actually say afternoon. Between then and now, were not sure how afternoon got shortened to noon (although it still made sense) and now, Arvo? How did that even come about?
ChillaxA bit of a no brainer because this ones not that hard to figure out. We remember a time when our parents would say, rest or relax or even rest and relax, but never chillax. Chillax is basically a combination of both chill and relax. By the way, by chill, we dont mean stick yourself into a fridge right now. It basically just means take it easy or in some cases, calm down. Who in the first place thought of combining the words chill and relax? Weve no idea but chillax, alright? Its no biggie!
JackingThe term doesnt mean something Jack or someone else is doing thats so typically Jack, neither is it short for jacking off, which means something else thats obscene altogether. Jacking, in our day, is short for hijacking, which, to us, is translated to stealing. Lets not blame our parents for being confused when we say things like, But he was jacking my style!.
YOLOFunny how people these days have grown so accustomed to using YOLO at the end of almost every suggestion or decision. For example, Yeah, I think Ill go skydiving although Im a little acrophobic. YOLO! or I cant take spicy food but sure, pass me that Sriracha sauce. YOLO!. As strange as it sounds, YOLO is actually an acronym for you only live once. Its kinda like wanting to imply, Lets just do it!.
DopeIn the world of hip hop, dope is a common term for a drug or drugs taken for recreational purposes. Beginning from the early 90s, dope became an informal term for a stupid person. However, in the world of Gen Y, when mentioned in passing e.g. Yo, that shirt is dope! or Daft Punks comeback album is so dope! , it means cool or very good. Yes, people. Like what it does to the human race, evolution involves language too.
HavocYour average dictionary will tell you that havoc means destruction, devastation or disorder, all of which sounds nothing like what it means in Gen Y lingo. Havoc is usually used to describe something amazing or unbelievable. Ways to use it would be, Wow, the turnout for FMFA 2014 was havoc! I heard there were about 85,000 people! or What? J-Card day at Mid Valley Megamall, again? Havoc!. Something like that. We know, we know. So dope, right?
As strange as it sounds, YOLO is
actually an acronym for you only live once

IS IT REBELLIOUS OR ART?

While were still on the topic of extreme sports in this issue, we thought that itd only be apt to speak to an artist of a different kind. Oh, you know, the one who makes jumping, grinding
and kickflip-ping an art. Yes, if you guessed skateboarding, youre absolutely right.

OPPOSITE PAGE | FARRIS RAHMAN, THE 19-YEAR-OLD SK8ER WONDER
NEVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT YOUR
DREAM IS TOO BIG OR UNACHIEVABLE BECAUSE IF YOU WORK HARD FOR IT, YOU CAN DEFINITELY
DO IT!
Growing up a shy and socially awkward boy, Farris Rahman never thought hed ever make it this far into skateboarding. But made it, he has, and even he has several accolades to show for it!
19-year-old Farris Rahman first started skateboarding at a very young age. By the time he was six years old, he had already participated in countless local and global competitions. 12 years later, hes ranked amongst the top 50 skateboards in the world. Today, his accolades have earned him a coveted spot in Red Bulls stable of sportspeople, big names that youd definitely recognise such as Sebastian Vettel, Thierry Henry and Neymar. Whats the best part about being Farris, you ask? We think that his most outstanding quality is the fact that despite having everything going for him, hes still a down-to-earth teenager. A hardworking one, at that.
Why do we say so? Find out in our exclusive interview with the sk8erboi!
CAMPUS+: For those who are not already in the know, tell us a little bit about what you do? FR: Im 19 years old and Im a skateboarder.
CP: What was your first skateboarding memory? FR: I started skateboarding when I was four years old. I saw my brother playing with a skateboard and I thought it was pretty cool.
CP: Has extreme sports, especially skateboarding, always been your thing? FR: Ive tried a couple of other sports over the years but it didnt gave me the same satisfaction as skateboarding does.
CP: What was your experience like, from your first competition? FR: I remember my first overseas competition. I was really excited! However, I didnt really take it as a serious competition because my main purpose was to have fun but somehow, I was noticed by the crowd (maybe because I was small and fun-sized) and that actually got me an invitation to Phuket for another skateboarding event. That was when I realised that skateboarding would give me the opportunity to travel places. So, thats cool.
CP: What do you think is the biggest misconception about skateboarding? FR: People think that its a very rebellious sport and only the punks and gangsters do it. The fact is that Ive seen so many skateboarders from various backgrounds. Its definitely wrong to stereotype skateboarding as a sport for the rebellious.
CP: Has this misconception changed over the years?FR: Yes, definitely. In US, skateboarding is very much
celebrated and recognised as a professional extreme sport. Though, in Asia, the awareness is picking up rather slowly thus the old mentality is still there.
CP: How many hours do you put into practising? FR: If I have school, most of my weekdays are dedicated to my studies. Ill try to squeeze in about two to three days for practise. However, during school holidays, my practise days can take up to five days.
CP: How do you stay fit for a competition? FR: As much as I would like to say that I go to the gym, I really dont. Im the original couch potato (laughs). I dont really do much. I guess how I stay on top of the game is by not smoking and not consuming alcohol.
CP: What are some of the personal goals that you are currently working on? FR: My current goal is to compete in the professional skateboarding competitions in US or Europe because I want to be exposed to opportunities overseas. I hope to be able to achieve that within two to three years.
CP: How are you planning to achieve your goals? FR: At the moment, youll need an invitation from the organising committee to be able to join such competitions and to get an invitation, youll need to make a name for yourself first. Thus, Im working on joining as many overseas competitions as I can, in hopes of making an impression and making the cut for the professional skateboarding competitions.
CP: Taking skateboarding out of the question, what do you do for fun? FR: I tell lame jokes, haha! Other than that, I do like video games, reading books about space, etc. Pretty much what a typical guy likes.
CP: How do you strike a balance between attending class and skateboarding? FR: Its not easy but I give my 100% in everything that I do. Different people have different ways in juggling things but I guess youll just have to find your own ways to work it out.
CP: Any advice for those interested to pursue skateboarding like you? FR: Never let anyone tell you that your dream is too big or unachievable because if you work hard for it, you can definitely do it!

Held at Istana Budaya in Kuala Lumpur, the awards ceremony was hosted by British actor Benedict Cumberbatch while Oscar and
Grammy winner Jamie Foxx performed to the star-studded audience of esteemed VIPs, sports guests and sports celebs.
As the sports guests and sports celebs arrived on the glamorous blue carpet, we pulled American swimming superstar, 18-year-old Missy Franklin aside and asked her who she was most excited to see. With a beaming, million-dollar smile, she simply said, Everyone! Im really very grateful and so pleased I was able to come - its during my spring break so I am not missing any school!
She bagged the Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year award later that night.

Never BuyCleaning Products Again!If youve taken a trip down the cleaning aisle at the supermarket recently, the prices of cleaning products will shock you. Or if youve ever studied the ingredients of household cleaners, youd probably notice the types of harsh chemicals in it. Also, lets not forget that some of these commercial cleaners emit fumes and are in no way environmentally friendly.

So what is the best way to go around it without loading your shopping cart with a different cleaner for each surface, floor and sink in the house? Make your own cleaning products of course! Not only will you save money and reduce the use of chemicals in your home, most of the following concoctions are safer for the environment. More importantly, these can be made using products from your pantry.
