ello world. Half way point, but not really. You think ooo yay week 3, that

means only 3 more weeks and we are done for-ever!!! NO! WRONG STFU AND SIT DOWN, you are forgetting exam weeks you stupid fool. This is the moment you realise your entire world is about to come crushing down around you like a cardboard box collapsing around a hobo in a rain storm.

This weeks issue is another one of those ones that I really enjoyed doing. It was exactly one term ago to the week, we introduced the feature artist seg-ment.

I honestly thing it’s one best things we have done for the Hungappa and the community, not only do I get to have fun with the interviews but it’s great to get something out there that not every-one would necessarily come across any other way. I really want to do more stuff like this, and hope to get something special for the final edition for the year.

If you think you got what it takes and would like to be featured in the mag, drop us a line at Hun-gappa@Rivcoll.com and tell us why!

Enjoy the calm before the assessment storm peo-ple.

Don’t forget to send in articles/pictures/what not into the gap, remember you do get paid. YA RLY. I’m still amazed at how many people are surprised when I tell them they get paid for submissions. A luxury not all Universities have, so I suggest you all abuse it while it lasts and earn some extra pocket money.

Have a great week, see you at happy hour.

IDEAS FOR EVERYTHING

1. Shaving oil. Use olive oil for a closer shave in place of shaving cream or foam.

2. Polisher for chrome and stainless steel. Using cleaning products such as ammonia can dull and corrode chrome and stainless steel very badly. Olive oil, however, is a much safer and effective shining agent to use.

3. Make-up remover. Dab a little olive oil under the eyes and rinse off with a washcloth.

4. Keep nail cuticles moisturised. Massage a small amount of olive oil into the nail beds. 5. Prevent wax from sticking to a candle holder. Rub a thin layer of olive oil onto the base

of the holder before inserting the candle. Dripped wax should peel away effortlessly. 6. Silence squeaky doors. Lubricate the door hinges by applying a small dab of olive oil to a

cloth, and then wipe the top of the hinges so the oil runs down the sides . 7. Eliminate soft cheese or sticky foods from a grater. Rub a generous amount of lemon

juice onto a grater filled with soft cheese or sticky food. After a few big rubs, wipe and wash your grater clean. It will sparkle like a brand new one!

8. Alternative deodorant. For emergency cases, dampen your dry armpits with some lemon extract. The fresh citrus smell will last up to 3 hours, so remember to purchase some proper deodorant in the meantime.

9. Ripen tomatoes fast. Individually wrap each tomato in a piece of newspaper and leave it to ripen at room temperature.

10. Clean tough streaks on glass. Use some newspaper with cleaning fluid to clean mirrors, windows and glass surfaces. 11. Keep shoes dry. Place crumpled paper in the damp shoes overnight so they dry out. 12. Wrap gifts. Make creative gift wrap from comic strips and pictures in a newspaper to wrap birthday gifts for friends and family. 13. Keep food containers fresh in smell. Stuff a piece of newspaper which has been scrunched into a ball into lunch boxes or a thermos, and then leave it overnight sealed up.

14. Prepare a garden for planting. During the cooler months, cover new garden beds with 4 - 5 layers of newspaper, then layer with straw or bark mulch. Hose it down. Come spring, the compost blanket of newspaper will have smothered any weeds, and the bed will be ready for planting.

15. Keep the refrigerator vegetable drawer dry and free of smells. Line the bottom with two pieces of newspaper.

We sat down with the great MF and had a chat about

life in the big city, art, and what it’s like holding balls

in his hands.

“ Three balls when I was in year five

”FEATURE

Hey Micky F, is it cool I call you Micky?

‘well sure!

On second thoughts I think I like Forrest better, do you have any other nick names?

Forri, any variation of Michael you can think of and to my mum, “dickhead”

Haha, so you come from the small town of Leeton, what was it like coming to a HUGE city like Wagga? It must have blown your mind with all the buildings and running hot water.

I was overwhelmed by the buzzing me-tropolis of Wagga, murders on every street and what not. But It’s been 2 years and I’ve only seen one forensic van, so I feel slightly disappointed as It’s not the ghetto I was informed it was.

So, I’ve been looking at your art page (Which everyone should check out) and it seems you are pretty alright at this “art” stuff. When did you first realise that this is what you wanted to do, and did you have any early inspiration?

I remember the first time I got into draw-ing was kindergarten. I was trying to count how many fingers were on my hand so I could put the correct amount on the draw-ing... I’d lose count before I got to five so every hand was a nub. I’ve been kinda arty my whole life but I’d lose interest in one medium and want to try my hand at some-thing new. Which I still do!

Haha, speaking of trying new things, it is also a known fact when you are flaunt-ing about riding your unicycle around or juggling that you actually had some circus training, how did you get into that!?

Hahaha yeahh... I’m a level 2 circus instruc-tor. Griffith City Council were running a program and needed someone qualified to teach so in 2009 they paid for me to go to Albury and grab a certificate. I learnt to juggle three balls when I was in year five, and then ya know.. it took the natural pro-gression of buying a unicycle and juggling knives and fire and stuff too haha. I had training at the Fruit Fly Circus and Circus Oz over the years.

Art by Michael Forrest

ARTISTWell enough circus talk lets get back to your real passion and why you are here at this prestigious University, you are now in your second year and if rumor has it you are doing a double degree of photography and graphic design, what are your plans after graduation?

Well I came into the double degree with the hopes of going into advertising later on. I love everything about visual com-munication and how a successfully crafted image can encourage, educate, persuade deceive or manipulate people.I’m not entirely sure what direction I’ll want to head in tomorrow or the next day. There is so much I want to achieve and it changes every day.

HOPEFULLY graduating in 2014.

I have no doubt that you will go on to big things and have pockets loaded with cash, if not you can always go back to busking on the street. Well Michael, it’s been a blast, and always good’ol fashioned fun chatting with you, any last words for the fans?

None that are appropriate enough to be read from the pages of the Gap haha.

Knowing different Cultures

Muslim weddings throughout the subcontinent have developed specif-ically Asian traditions while main-taining Islamic marriagerequirements.

Pre-wedding rituals

Mehndi ceremony

The Mehndi ceremony is held at the home of the bride on the eve of the wedding ceremony or a couple of days before it. The female relatives of the girl anoint her with turmeric paste to bring out the glow in her complexion.

A relative or a mehndiwali (person who professionally deal with ap-plying mehndi) applies mehndi on the hands and feet of the bride. The event has a festive feel to it with the women singing traditional songs. The bride wears sober clothes.

According to custom she must not step out of the house for the next few days until her marriage. The bride’s cousins sometimes apply a dot of mehndi on the palm of the groom.

Welcoming the baraat (the groom family & relatives)

The groom arrives at the wedding venue with his baraat. A band of musicians strike up some traditional notes to announce their arrival. The groom shares a drink of sherbet (juice or sweet drink) with the bride’s brother. The bride’s sisters play pranks with the groom’s family.

Nikaah

The Nikaah or wedding ceremony can be conducted at the home of the bride or the groom, or at any other convenient venue.

-Indian Muslim wedding : a gala affair

A Maulvi (priest) in the presence of close family members and relatives conducts the ceremony. In orthodox Muslim communities, the men and women are seated separately.

The ‘Walis’ (the father of the bride and of the bridegroom) play an important role in the ceremony. The Maulvi reads selected verses from the Quran and the Nikaah is com-plete after the Ijab-e-Qubul (pro-posal and acceptance). The boy’s side proposes and the girl’s side conveys her assent.

The mutual consent of the bride and groom is of great importance for the marriage to be legal. On the day of the Nikaah that the elder mem-bers of the two families decide the amount of Mehar (nuptial gift). The Mehar is a compulsory amount of money given by the groom’s family to the bride.

Nikaahnama

The Nikaahnaama is a document in which the marriage contract is regis-tered. It contains a set of terms and conditions that must be respected by both the parties, also gives the bride the right to divorce her husband. For the contract to be legal, it must be signed by the bridegroom, the bride, the Walis, and the Maulvi.

Blessing the groom

The groom receives blessings from the older women and offers them his salaam. The guests pray for the newly-weds.

Dinner and Prayers

Dinner is a lavish spread. Usually, the women and the men dine sepa-rately. After dinner, the newly-weds sit together for the first time.

Their heads are covered by a dupatta (scarf) while they read prayers under the direction of the maulvi (priest). The Quran is placed between the couple and they are allowed to see each only through mirrors.

Rukshat (farewell of the bride from her family)

The bride’s family bids her a tearful farewell before she departs for her husband’s house. The bride’s father gives her hand to her husband and tells him to take protect and take good care of her.

Welcoming the bride

The groom’s mother holds the Quran above the head of her new daughter-in-law as she enters her new home for the first time after the wedding.

Chauthi

The Chauthi is the fourth day after the wedding, when the bride visits the home of her parents. She re-ceives a joyous welcome on this day.

Walimah

The Walimah is the lavish reception that the groom’s family hosts after the Nikaah. It is a joyous occasion that brings together the two fami-lies, their relatives and other well-wishers.

So this is the new era in the life of the newly wedded couple!
