Pakistan School
Attack
On the 17th December 2014, a greatly upsetting attack took place in
Pakistan. Taliban terrorists shot 132 children [aging from twelve to six-
teen], ten school staff members, including the principal of the school, and
three soldiers in the Army Public School and Degree College. A hundred
people were also injured, many having gunshot wounds.
It was found out that the terrorists burst into the auditorium where a
large number of students were taking an exam and gunned down many of
them within minutes. A 14-year-old survivor, Ahmed Faraz, recalled that
one of the terrorists ordered his men to kill all the children hiding under
the benches. They carried on shooting incessantly.
Parents send their children to school expecting them to be safe. How-
ever in some countries, school is not as safe as schools in Singapore. So,
we should stay alert and be thankful to have this privilege for the safe en-
vironment where we study in. It was also said that the students thought
that the attack was a drill. As a result, most of them did not take it very
seriously.
Having said that, many of us tend to take drills in school lightly by
joking around and thinking that it is a waste of time. These attacks can be
avoided if all of us cooperate and stay united. The root cause of such at-
tacks is based on a religion not being accepted by others around them.
In this article, we observe that the Islamic culture was not accepted
and thus these attacks occurred. All in
all, every one of us should respect
each other’s religions and cultures,
which is why racial harmony day is
celebrated.

Liquor Usage for Safety

the use of liquor and allows drink-
ers to recover their health instead
of drinking twenty-four-seven and
ruining their body through alcohol
poisoning, diabetes and even can-
cer.
However, I think that both
sides have equal rights – the work-
ing adults and children. The adults
have to release their stress and re-
lax from the hustle and bustle of
the busy Singapore we live in. Oth-
er than that, have you ever thought
of the workers who help us build
our roads, buildings and tourist at-
tractions attaining sunburn? Well,
drinking beer is cooling to your
body.
Although you would feel warm
after drinking it as it opens your
blood vessels, the effect will revert
as your blood vessels will narrow
down. Furthermore, drinking ac-
tually helps you to lose your con-
centration and allows you to slip
off into your own little world. To
sum it up, I really think adults
should have the freedom to drink
wherever they are, proposal or not.

Recently, Singapore has put
liquor usage under strict control
after 10:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. in the
morning. Consumers are allowed
to drink in pubs, coffee shops and
other places such as clubs. If done
otherwise, they would be fined up
to S$1000.
What I think about this pro-
posal is that it prevents any acci-
dents relating violent drunkards.
Also, other countries try to protect
the vulnerable children in their
rapidly growing population too,
like Australia, United Kingdom
and much more. What I think is
that we should be grateful that
Singapore has kept us safe and
sound, and is still doing so by try-
ing to minimise incidents that cre-
ate havoc in our lively neighbour-
hood.
In fact, I think that the curb is
also important as it helps control
Vandalism Being in CHIJ St. Joseph’s Convent, I’ve been reminded countless
of times not to vandalise; “Don’t draw on your table, don’t draw on the
walls, it is not your house, you will have to pay for it…” However how
seriously do we take this? Do we know the dire repercussions of vandal-
ism? Of course not, but now we finally have an issue to look into.
Vandalism is an act of defiance. It is drawing and scribbling on ob-
jects and walls especially on things that do not belong to you. It is un-
healthy and mean to do so. However, one incident that had happened
seems to have given us the opportunity to learn from
Today, one of the most prominent figures from World War 2 would
be the well known Anne Frank. Anne was a thirteen year old girl born
in Holland and she had written in her diary about her life, especially to-
wards the end of her life as she was betrayed and killed by the Nazis.
Her diary till today is one of the most popular World War Two
books which has been bought by close to 30 million people in the
world. The diary tells us about her life living under the reign of the Na-
zis, as well as her life growing up under
constant fear and unhappiness.
However, in Japan, over 300 books of
Anne Frank’s Diary has been damaged
and vandalized. This had caused much
confusion and anger as people were con-
fused as to who would have done some-
thing like that. These copies of Anne
Frank’s Diary have been vandalised in
over 38 libraries in Tokyo Japan.
To this, police have been investigating
as to who would provoke such incidents.
To this, people have been criticizing
Japan considering its number of contro-

RACISM IN RACISM IN RACISM IN RACISM IN
THE MIDDLE EASTTHE MIDDLE EASTTHE MIDDLE EASTTHE MIDDLE EAST Racism is the belief that characteristics and abilities can be attribut-
ed to people simply on the basis of their race and that some racial groups
are superior to others.
Racism is also a very touchy subject for some people. Some people
argue that talking about supporting racial discrimination and prejudice
is just words and that free speech should allow such views to be aired
without restriction.
In a number of countries in the Middle East, discriminatory practice
has been a common country where the terrible acts of terrorism commit-
ted by terrorists in America. There has additionally been an outpouring
of violent racial hatred by a minority of people in Western countries
against people that look Middle Eastern.
For a period of time, there has been resentment by many in the Mid-
dle East at the policies of America in their region. For many of the more
extremist factions, this has turned into a form of racism as well, where
many things that are Western are
hated or despised.
I think we should not judge
one another by their race, religion
or culture because after all, we are
all still the same. We should learn
to love and accept everyone!

Avid fans of the Divergent trilogy were over-

chock-full of action. When last we saw Tris (Shailene Woodley) at the

once occupied and into the dystopian ruins out-
side of Chicago.
Her adventure will continue next March in
Insurgent, and the sequel just shared its first-

Dance of the Shadows Dance of the Shadows Dance of the Shadows Dance of the Shadows
by Yelena Black
Dancing with someone is an act of trust.
Elegant and intimate; you're close enough to
kiss, close enough to feel your partner's
heartbeat. But for Vanessa, dance is very
deadly - and she must be extra careful in who
she trusts...
Vanessa Adler attends an elite ballet
school - the same one her older sister, Mar-
garet, attended before she disappeared, never
to be found. Vanessa feels that she can never
live up to her sister's reputation. However,
there’s just something intriguing about
Vanessa as she dances. With her glorious red hair and fair skin, she has a
kind of intensity and liveliness while dancing - she loses herself in the
music, breathes a different kind of air, and the world around her just
turns to flames.
Soon she attracts the attention of three men: gorgeous Zeppelin
Black, the mysterious Justin, and the great, enigmatic choreographer
Josef Zhalkovsky. When Josef asks Vanessa to dance the lead in the Fire-
bird, she has hardly any idea of the danger that lies ahead and the burn-
ing forces about to be unleashed.
But when Vanessa’s friend goes missing and Zep reveals a dark,
shocking secret… will she be doomed to relive her sister’s bizarre fate?
Or will her talent be her saving grace?
Read Dance of Shadows by Yelena Black to find out more. This rivet-
ing, alluring and necromantic book is a must read for anybody who en-
joys dance and a little mystery! This book has captivated me. The way
the author describe Vanessa‘s passion for dancing and how she dance
herself makes me feel like dancing myself. The mysteries in the story

The rice cooker was developed in Japan,
where they are known as suihanki (炊飯器).
Like the name states, it is used to make rice
but now we humans have outsmarted an au-
tomatic machine, it can be used to cook all
sorts of meals. How the rice cooker works is
that there is a heating plate inside the rice
cookers “shell”, which heats up the inner
cooking pot. You put in the number of rice
cups you need as well as how much water
you need, press start
and the rest is up to
the cooker.
There are many creative ways of using a rice
cooker that people have discovered or tried out.
Even with all these features already built within
the cooker, users come up with even more things
to do with the features. There are now even
cookbooks that have recipes using rice cookers
to make meals quick and less hassle. You can al-
so make stuff like chocolate lava cake!
