Party Animal 101
Written by Julia Lua   
Now that we’ve all gotten ourselves into the most established institution on sunny island Singapore (yes, the one that’s in the Top 20 QS World University Rankings), let’s show the others that we not only outwit and outlast our competitors academically, we make even stronger contenders in the field of out-dressing with our party clothes (unfortunately, the same can’t be said for our school get-up).

The question is - how?

Well, bearing in mind the function of clothes as concealment, attraction and individual expression, we take inspirations from Oscar suits and dresses, add a dash of MTV style to them, and come up with a delightfully simple dressing mantra – sleek and shine.

Femme Fatale: The Dangerous Seduction of the Sarong Party Girl
Written by Rohaizatul Azhar & Parvinder Gill   
The Sarong Party Girl, typified by her tanned complexion, questionable foreign-accented English, provocative attire and her general preference for dating Caucasian males, has become an idiosyncratic feature of our society in Singapore.

In fact, the Sarong Party Girl phenomenon dates back to the pre-independence period in our history. When the British forces were still present in colonial Singapore in the 60s, they sought the charms of the local ladies and invited them to the parties that they organized. Since the sarong (i.e. cloth that is wrapped around one’s waist to function as a skirt) was a staple clothing item in the past, these ladies were naturally decked out in their best sarongs in these parties.

Hence, the name Sarong Party Girl.

The Dark Side of Parties
Written by Varshaa Negi   
Let us paint a picture - you are invited to a party with all your friends. You look gorgeous! There is music, alcohol…you name it, they have it!

How wild do you suppose you can afford to get? Does partying necessarily mean losing consciousness? Can trusting other people with your drink be a choice, in this day and age of Rohypnol or 'Roofies'? Are you afraid of people thinking that you are un-cool if you said 'No'? If being cautious means being safe, then maybe we need to rethink our definitions of cool.

The picture is no longer as rosy as it was! Now, take a road trip with hooked down the dark side of parties.

Let's Talk About Green
Written by Rachel Xu   
Going green has been invading our senses recently. With Live Earth concerts and bags screaming environmental-friendly slogans becoming It bags, it has become rather difficult to sidestep the issue.

Before all of us start to pledge our allegiance to environmental causes, HOOKED thinks it's important that we first try to understand the complexities masked under the word - environmentalism.

The first step in our education was courtesy of the recent Interdisciplinary Forum on Global Warming and Climate Change, organised by NUSSU S.A.V.E (Students Against Violation of the Earth).

Voice Of A Murderer: A True Story
Written by Loh Huilin   
This film is not for the faint-hearted.

And by that, I am not referring to those who cannot stomach blood spilling scenes or grotesque skin-crawling psychotic murders, but those whose hearts cannot take the starkly truthful ending of tragedies, especially when it is a remake of a true story.
