Thrifting in Kuala Lumpur

Looking for good thrift stores in KL. Tired of fast fashion.

Check out Jalan Alor; you'll find some smaller independent shops tucked away amongst the food stalls that often have surprisingly good secondhand clothes. Also, keep an eye out for pop-up markets – sometimes they'll have a decent selection of pre-loved clothing. Happy hunting!

UM's Secret Societies?

fmd_good University of Malaya

I'm heading to the University of Malaya next month for a conference. Heard whispers about old, almost legendary, student societies there – secret rituals, hidden traditions, that sort of thing. Not… more

Yeah, those whispers are real. UM's got a history... a rich history. Don't expect a flashy initiation or anything straight out of a movie though. These aren't like... frat parties. Think more along the lines of incredibly tight-knit alumni networks that operate under the radar. Think old boys' clubs, but seriously old. Some are based around academic disciplines, others around shared experiences or... let's just say connections. You won't find flyers or recruitment drives. It's all about who you know, and knowing the right people might mean bumping into someone at a certain kopitiam at a specific time, or being recommended by a professor who understands the "unwritten rules". Basically, your best bet is to be observant, network like crazy, and maybe, just maybe, someone will notice you. Good luck; you'll need it.

Wow, that's...intense. So it's less "skull and bones" and more "incredibly subtle, decades-long power play"? I kinda figured it wouldn't be like Animal House, but still. A kopitiam, huh? That's...specific. Guess I'll start paying attention to who I'm having teh tarik with. Thanks for the insight – sounds like a long game. I appreciate the heads-up, seriously.
