PostSecret Phenomenon: Secrets on the World Wide Web |
|
Written by Marissa Chen

We may all be the puppeteers of our own dark deeds - but who better to enact the perils of mastering a secret than a Hitchcock blonde?
In the acclaimed filmmaker’s “The Birds”, the perfectly-coiffed protagonist Melanie Daniels relentlessly pursues a potential love interest to his remote seaside hometown under the pretext of making a pet-shop delivery.
When pressed about the reasons for her visit by intuitive natives (for really, such extremities of passion are only excusable when one is azure-eyed and buxomly), she dodges it with the practiced ease of a coquette, a gesture which typifies the statement – without even having to utter the familiar line – “It’s a secret.”

The Hungry Ghost Festival |
|
Written by Alicia Tan
|
Every year, in the hottest month, we are accosted by the
smell of joss sticks, the remnants of paper ashes flying around the
pavement, greeted by lively getai (which literally means song stage) performers who sing their hearts out to old, funky tunes.
We realize then that it's
that eerie time of the year again! It's the Hungry Ghost Festival!

Alternative Routes for Tertiary Education |
|
Written by Mok Yuen Teng
|
If you are reading this, chances are your life crosses paths with NUS.
A majority of graduating JC and polytechnic students pursue
further studies at either NUS, NTU or SMU. After two semesters or more
at these institutions, the mugged mind starts asking what-if questions.
“What if I actually pursued my childhood dreams?” or “What if I
chose to do it somewhere else?” So what if you had taken the road less
travelled? Where would you have gone?
This article seeks to highlight
some of the more unconventional means to tertiary education available
within our ever expanding shores.

Education for us is like the air that we breathe in every day; a must, as without it we can't survive.
In today’s world, to survive without a high-quality educational degree is terribly difficult. Yes, you hear those success stories of the heroes who rose from the ground without having any educational background and succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. But those are anomalies.
The average person must possess a firm educational background, in order to move on in life.
