It has the shape of a water drop, and with a surface that fully reflects the surroundings without any distortion, it seems as though its sole purpose for existence is to praise the beauty of the immense universe. “It’s almost a piece of art,” exclaims the young female officer. These three represent the Space Armed Forces of th

Tan Ken Shin (22-A2) I wish I knew how to let go of old habits better. In the first semester, I was extremely overwhelmed by the number of lectures and tutorials, and could barely keep up with the work. This is primarily because I assumed the methods I used in secondary school were enough to cope in JC, and how wrong I was. Of course, over time, I found my own pace and method of working which worked for me. Everyone’s method of studying is different, and so my advice is, to b

Every student reaches a point in their life where their days just feel… repetitive . Ask our very own student councillors (the seemingly busiest people) and even they will agree that after all the zest of school activities die out, student life does get boring. After all, the only true constant for students is studying, right? Soon enough you find yourself on TikTok, listening to Sugaresque talk about her busy life. Something tells you that there has to be more than just aca

However, the world of horror and thrillers is much more varied than you would expect, finding its footing through the decades with changing societal expectations a

Back then, they often had a didactic touch and underlined various religious values. With the rise of broadcast and social media starting in the 60s, this pheno

Written by: Ashley Koh (21-A1) Designed by: Sophia Chiang (22-O1) Close your eyes. Breathe deeply, in and out, almost as if you’re falling asleep or meditating intently. Hold all the words you want to say in your mind, and start to construct the world you want to enter. And then, open the door. Before you, the towering halls of Hogwarts, or the volleyball courts of Haikyuu!!, or even the fields and Regency-era buildings of Bridgerton start to materialise. And to your heart’s
