There is no perfect way to be a parent, and everyone's rules are not the same for fostering a child. That being said, when a parent does something that seems wrong to the vast majority of people, that parent's possible error in judgment takes the spotlight -- and the primary concern is the safety and well-being of the child.

A photograph taken in New Zealand is causing quite an uproar around the world. The photo at the center of the controversy is of an infant asleep in a car seat locked alone inside a car. A note, seemingly written from the baby's perspective, is attached to the chest and reads, "my mums in doing the shopping, call her if I need anything." There is a phone number written at the end.

See a video about the incident here:

A couple who saw the baby in the car talked to the New Zealand Herald. "We waited there for a little bit, wondering if the mum was just going to be two seconds and come back," the man said. "And my wife

The parody has garnered over 40,000 views since it was first uploaded. (Youtube screengrab)

A creepy but wonderfully creative parody of Derrick Hoh’s “Forever” is going viral online.

The 4-minute story-within-a-music video entitled “Dead Girl Seeks Meaningful Relationships” is based on the dance-pop debut number by the Mandopop star, who shot to fame in the talent competition Project Superstar.

Last month, his first English single “Forever” climbed onto the Singapore iTunes chart for five consecutive days. And now this wildly popular parody, which has already been viewed 40,000 times since it was first uploaded last week, is sure to revive the hit song.

The creepy spoof echoes his lyrics of eternal love but puts a wicked twist to the idea of “till death do us part”. It begins with a morbid suicide crime scene where a ghost-like lady dressed in white lies lifeless next to a river.

The tale soon unravels into a comical chase for eternal love where the coroner at the crime scene falls in love with the dead body while the misunderstood dead girl looks for companionship

Ray Pang's short film 'Closer to Me' will be playing on the Cannes screen in May. (Youtube screengrab)

Singaporean Ray Pang’s short film “Closer to Me” has been selected to be part of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival 2013 in May.

The local film – which was also shortlisted for the People’s Choice Award and Jury Award for the Louis Vuitton Journey Award – is about the fragility of life and was inspired by Pang’s cancer-stricken friend. It will be screened under the Short Film Corner category to an audience of potential film distributors.

Pang, who’s been a filmmaker for six years, told Yahoo! Singapore that being part of the festival is nothing short of surreal.

“It’s a dream for a filmmaker to be at Cannes. I didn’t expect it to get selected,” said the 28-year-old Pang, who hopes the nomination will help open doors as he hopes to “rub shoulders with big names in the industry”.

A second entry from Singapore to be featured on the Cannes screen this year is from 34-year-old Christina Choo who teaches at Glasgow School of Art - Singapore Institute of Technology.

Move over Psy.

The newest dance sensation, the "Harlem Shake" is taking over the web and everyone – including Singaporeans – is doing it.

The quirky dance has no particular step or style – it just requires one to “get jiggy” with the beat. The more awkward looking the move, the merrier.

Most of the videos, usually shot in 30 second sequences, usually sees one person breaking out a funky move to a dance beat in different scenarios before the rest around him or her join in with their own style. The more outrageous the move, the better (props included).

The meme first started gaining traction last week and is attributed to a silly video from a video blogger named "Filthy Frank". Since then, the dance has exploded on the web, evoking memories of the way Psy’s “Gangnam Style” quickly went viral.

A YouTube blog last week entitled “The Harlem Shake has exploded” said over 12,000 “Harlem Shake” videos have been uploaded to the site since the start of the month. 4,000 new videos are being

Oppa Cai Shen Dao! (Screengrab)

Just when you'd had enough of "Gangnam Style" and all its parodies, here comes a wickedly creative twist to the massive Psy hit in time for Chinese New Year.

Enter "Oppa Cai Shen Dao", a collaboration between Malaysian flash animator Jess the Dragoon and her brother Josh Tamugaia.

In this version of "Gangnam Style", a broke man begs the Cai Shen (Chinese God of Wealth) for money in the new year. The lyrics are in East Malaysian Hokkien but familiar enough for those who know the dialect, and English subtitles are included as well.

Uploaded last Friday, the two-minute video has been viewed close to 3,000 times as of Sunday morning but what is refreshingly unique is its inventive, Oriental-themed animation, complete with hilarious Hokkien lyrics and zithar-backed soundtrack.

The God of Wealth looks like Psy, with his signature round glasses but with a beard and a Cai Shen get-up. And instead of doing the "horse dance" in a park, Cai Shen does his dance at a Chinese, complete with lion

No condoms on sale at National University of Singapore. (Yahoo! photo)

UPDATED 2:00pm 8 February 2013. A spokesperson from Dairy Farm, which owns the retail brand Guardian, has said in an email to Yahoo! Singapore Thursday that the store received verbal approval on Wednesday to put their family planning items back on display at their store at the National University of Singapore.

Guardian will resell them once they receive official confirmation from NUS management.

In a related move, 7-Eleven, which is also under Dairy Farm, has also written to NUS to confirm that their outlet can now stock family planning products.

Three things one cannot get from stores at the National University of Singapore? Tobacco, alcohol and, now, contraceptives.

Condoms were pulled off the shelves at Guardian’s branch at NUS on Monday, sparking raging online discussion over the right of students to have access to contraceptives on campus.

“I got the notice last Monday before work to remove the condoms from the shelves and tape the 'Family Planning' sign,” said

Raunchy and rude confessions from university students (Getty Images)

Singapore university students are flocking to certain Facebook pages to anonymously reveal best-kept personal secrets, ranging from mushy love confessions to saucy sexual details.

Not limited to a pastor’s ears, their admissions are open to all to view, share and comment, Facebook-style.

Following a trend led by students in Western schools, unsanctioned “confession” pages on the social media site have risen for Nanyang Technological University, National University of Singapore and Singapore Management University.

Since its launch three days ago, the "NTU Confessions" page has garnered 3,500 likes and more than a thousand "confessions", NUS' attracted almost 6,000 likes within 10 days and SMU’s drew more than 1,000 in one.

Confessions are submitted anonymously through a third-party survey site, and the page administrator, who has access to the content, can then post them.

Anonymity encourages the students to bare their souls in these online confessionals.
