Editorial Comment and Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to the first edition of Tenby
Setia Eco-Park student magazine. We hope to
offer you an exciting range of articles and re-
views, with contributors from across our two
schools, including from the lunchtime creative
writing club. If all goes well—and with your sup-
port— we will publish an online version of the
editorial team’s selection each term.
In this issue: we have some regular columns, first
for fashion, from Wan Yi, with a focus on what
was popular this summer. A fantabulous fea-
ture for the fashionistas among you. Our art
column this month gives you the low-down on
Picasso’s biggest ‘hits’ - the most extravagant
and lavish paintings in the world.
Our features include reviews of Year 10 Work
Experience (but first, lemme take a selfie),
the Summer Drama production—The final and
foremost production with the legendary Law-
rence—and a guide to the best cafes in Pub-
likka—A Wondermilk tour (a.k.a. free adver-
tising!).
We also have a quick peak at what’s been go-
ing down on-line lately for all you gamesters
and a focus on what makes photography work
from our Secondary Schools competition win-
ner, Amir Gregson. (How to take selfies like a
pro).
Life would never be complete without a bit of
healthy debate: we hear from Vishnu Vijandran
about one of the key debates for the Children’s
Fund committee. We also have a round-up of
the latest trends in cartoons—with Luciana and
Raisa—a never-before-seen combination of
science fiction, fantasy, and 19th century
steam-powered machines. Followed by a
lengthy list of the top 5 anime of all time, ac-
cording to our resident anime geek.
We hope you will enjoy this issue and will contin-
ue to support our student magazine. And last
but not least, if any of you would like to contrib-
Dora Maar au Chat $95.2 million This painting of Picasso’s lover, Dora Maar, is one of the many portraits that he painted of her during the course of their relationship. It was only discovered after his death and was authenticated by Picasso’s daughter herself. Maar is regarded as one of Picasso’s favourite models and she was a tremendous influence in his life.
When talking about an artist with an astonishing reputation
like Picasso, it’s unsurprising when you discover that his art-
works have net worths of millions of dollars. This prolific artist
is known for his wide array of paintings, drawings, ceramics,
sculptures and contributions to the world of cubism and surre-
alism. Only recently did one of his works break the world rec-
ord for the most expensive painting ever auctioned. So which
works is all the fuss about? Read on…
Garçon à la pipe $104.1 million The Parisian boy in the painting is painted holding a pipe and with a garland of flowers on the top of his head. This was painted during Picasso’s Rose Period, which makes the garland quite fitting! Though it has been resold a few times, many art critics were surprised to see that this painting was sold for its price as it has very little historical importance or value.
Lady, Green Leaves and Statue $106.5 million Painted in 1932, the painting features the artist’s friend, Marie-Therese Walter by some green leaves and a statue-like man. The canvas, measuring more than 5 feet tall, is currently being displayed at the Tate Modern in London.
Le Rêve $155 million Another famous piece of Marie-Therese Walter, Picasso
frequently depicts her with bright and vibrant colours like
in this painting instead of the gloomy and dark shades he
associates with Dora Maar. Its qualities are said to show
early signs of fauvism. This masterpiece is rumoured to
have been painted in a single afternoon.
Les Femmes d’ Alger (Version “O”) $179.4 million
Only recently did this painting break the record for the
most expensive Picasso to ever have been sold! Like Gar-
çon à la pipe, it has not much historical importance but it
was sold at an absurd amount anyway. Les Femmes d’ Al-
ger is a series of 15 paintings in the style of cubism. About
half have been auctioned off and are displayed so that the
public may enjoy the works of this phenomenal man who
once lived and brought mankind the gift of his art.
Youtube, a splendid platform for content creators, large and small to
share and watch videos; with a might in monetisation, has captivated
the hearts of many people, keeping them there. However, viewers
aren’t able to watch live gaming content, therefore comes, Youtube
gaming; a one stop destination for all gaming content in the world.
Youtube gaming launches fully later this year, while Twitch has also decided to up its game to rival against this new kid in town. Now, both stream services must convince the best gamers to broadcast on their site and not the other.
Will Twitch or Youtube gaming come out top? The victor is still any-
ones guess, but for now lets just anticipate how this exciting show-
down goes.
Steampunk fashion is usually a mixture between
the Victorian era’s romantic view of science in liter-
ature and elements from the Industrial Revolution
in Europe during the 1800s. The fashion consist of
clothing, hairstyling, jewellery and make up. It
often attracts people who are into gothic fashion
as well.
Steampunk refers to a subgenre in literature of sci-
ence fiction and sometimes fantasy, which incorpo-
rates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by
19th century industrial steam powered machinery. It
has developed into a subculture of art and fashion,
attracting people of all backgrounds, who are inter-
ested in things such as science fiction and the Victo-
rian era in general.

The black bitterness;
This pungent smell ,
I know it all too well.
The iron metal;
These grinding gears,
I can hear the screeches with my ears.
Ticking of ambition;
These peasants screaming “Full steam ahead!”
This is Victorian London, where low-class works till dead.

Book Review Mortal Engines is the first of four novels in Philip
Reeve’s quartet of the same name. The book focus-
es on a futuristic, steampunk version of London, now a gi-
ant machine striving to survive on a world running out of
resources. Hundreds of years after the apocalyptic “Sixty-
Minute War”, it has returned to a Victorian-era society and
technological state. The book has been recommended for
those seeking to venture into the steampunk genre for the
first time, and has many shining reviews. “Where Charles
Dickens… ...meets Star Wars” -Booklist
Café Hunting
Coffee Stain
At first, we had no plans of where to go, but when we wandered around and spotted this café it really stood out to us. The interior was inspired by a mod-
ern vintage concept. With hanging lightbulbs and mismatched chairs, it gives off a chill atmosphere to the customers. The bestselling coffee with the fancy
name ‘cool cube’ was a pleasant drink, thoughtoo pricy for us to enjoy without our purses crying. The carbonara spaghetti was the highlight of the meal. The ham and mushroom harmonized perfectly to-gether with the not-too-thick sauce.The soft and
smooth texture of the Crème Brulee melted in our mouths and the strawberry on top of the dessert made it even more refreshing. The green tea latte
with a hint of cinnamon, was very suitable for cinna-mon-lovers. The overall presentation of the food
was lovely.
Conclusion
Not only Publika, but many other shopping malls all over Malaysia have a variety of pleasurable cafes which
customers from different generations can visit and enjoy themselves with delectable meals, cooling beverages and
sweet-smelling desserts. Just go to any shopping mall and pay more attention to the shops you are walking past.
You will be shocked at how ignorant you were and now it’s your turn to go for a local cafe tour!

The design of this unique and exquisite cafe is based on librar-ies, hence the name. The whole cafe gives of an extremely cozy and comfortable vibe, especially the section closed off by book-shelves, save a small opening at the side. Despite the wonderful interior, the food and drinks served were just average. The de-sert we ordered however, had an exceptionally appetising ap-
pearance, and the taste of the waffle didn't disappoint. The wait- ers in this cafe were friendlier com-pared to the others as well.

We did it! We went to work experience from 22 June- 26 June. It was fun for most
of us, both interesting and exciting to see the behind scenes of a successful shop or
work-place but fitting into a professional team is hard work too. Some may have
worked for long hours to do what their ‘colleagues’ were finishing... Some may on-
ly have been engaged for 4-5 hours each day. But for all involved, gaining work ex-
perience was important to prepare and plan for our futures. It has also helped us
to put in context the qualifications needed so after we graduate we find good and
profitable jobs. These are some students’ work places and experience they gained:
Naoka-Business
Joshua Guo
I helped out my dad’s company by managing the tech-
nical parts of security, starting at 9.30 and going on until
6 pm everyday for that week. I did quotations for clients,
who had questions about the company. Then I would
pass on the questions to a colleague with better under-
standing. I enjoyed the fact that I had to work in a com-
fortable environment.
Alexey
I helped out in a shoe shop in the accounting and marketing
departments. I did filing, for customers paying by cheque,
then stock-taking and tracking what stock was selling well.
I’d worked in a team with the whole department and when I
asked they always had time to answer. I produced a lot of
work but they were really busy (not much time to show me
round the whole business).
Eve
I worked as a nurse at a clinic located at Subang Jaya. I worked in and learnt about
5 different sections for the 5 days I was there The first section that I started with
was as a receptionist, then I went on to filling and accounting, on the third day I was
working with customer services and on the fourth day I helped clean the apparatus
in the clinic. My favourite section was helping out with medicine prescriptions
which was the last but most valuable section of my work experience.
Lydia
I worked at my friend’s parent’s legal firm and got a grip of all the different
tasks of working in this field. Examples are answering phone calls with clients,
filling and re-ordering, conveyance for the financing aspect and transferring
files. My favourite part of this work experience was the fact that I had the
chance to try this with my friend and had not gone alone.
WanYi
I worked with a couple of different personnel/departments: using Illustrator,
Photoshop for design of adverts but focussing on the copy-writing side of
things (how adverts are written) before being shown around corporate
affairs by the main boss at the company, Mr Chris. Working in a small office
gave a good sense of how all the staff work together to produce top-quality
ads for print and internet.

How does debate work?
During the inaugural Tenby Kuala Lumpur Model United Nations, one of the agen-
das was the UNICEF committee for the rights of children. There was quite a strong
debate about this, with Afghanistan, Iraq, Antigua and Barbuda, Burkina Faso,
and Somalia drafting a resolution against changing the bill of rights of young peo-
ple, due to the religious morality of those societies , and most other countries
drafting a resolution for acknowledging new medical advances. By the end of
our debates, the resolution for had passed with flying colours, whereas the resolu-
tion against was thrown out with very few votes for.
Our debate was worth having because it taught all of us the importance of medi-
cal and identity issues on a global scale, what our beliefs are based on and how
