FILM stars have had a few red carpet moments this year. Last weekend, our favourite music entertainers stepped out and showed us what they’ve got, fashion-wise. Stars that walked the red carpet at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles did not disappoint. Although there weren’t too many “out-there” outfits (even Lady Gaga and […]
I AM currently working as a temporary teacher in my former alma mater after finishing Form Six. I was assigned to teach in the lower forms, and I got the chance to get close to J, who is in Form One this year. We have actually known each other for a few years, but we […]
They’re an odd couple, Jason McAteer and David May. One’s skinny, the other’s chubby (don’t tell him that, though). One’s gregarious, the other’s awkward. One’s Irish, the other’s English. And, of course, one used to play for Liverpool, the other for Manchester United. “I don’t even like him!” said Treble-winning former United defender May. “And […]
Long-time Magic: the Gathering fans will remember the days when buying certain novels and comics actually gave them the chance to redeem and score some real valuable and rare exclusive tie-in cards.

Leading up to the festival, devotees cleanse themselves through prayer, fasting and practising celibacy, […]
OMG, don’t you just love Jennifer Lopez in the current season (what is it …10? 11? 15? 20?) of American Idol? She is most probably the only reason why people still tune in to watch that dying talent show. First and foremost, she is super gorgeous and everything she wears is sparkly and trendy – […]
By NIKI CHEONG alltherage@thestar.com.my In the mid-1990s, I created my first website. It was only a single page, though. Through some very easy online tutorials, I managed to teach myself basic Hypertext Markup Language or HTML, and could add text – in different sizes and colours – to the page.

IF there’s one thing I do in every place I visit, it is shopping. Even if I can only find one item of clothing or some accessories, I never come home without buying something. Of all the cities I’ve been to, my all-time favourite place to shop is Bangkok, Thailand. First of all, it’s a […]
