The New Deck
Written by Lai Zhao Xiu   

Since last November, the Arts Canteen a.k.a. The Deck was closed down (or rather, torn down) for major renovations and upgrading.

FASS students were transformed into refugees overnight and had to voyage far and wide to other faculties in search of the best food deals. Students from other faculties had to content themselves with one less choice for lunch and dinner. On top of that, they had to share their canteens with the FASS refugees.

For so long, we have stared at the seemingly never-ending construction of The Deck, and gone without our beloved Yong Tao Fu Laksa. Finally, it’s all coming back!

Alternative Routes for Tertiary Education
Written by Mok Yuen Teng   
If you are reading this, chances are your life crosses paths with NUS.

A majority of graduating JC and polytechnic students pursue further studies at either NUS, NTU or SMU. After two semesters or more at these institutions, the mugged mind starts asking what-if questions.
       
“What if I actually pursued my childhood dreams?” or “What if I chose to do it somewhere else?” So what if you had taken the road less travelled? Where would you have gone?

This article seeks to highlight some of the more unconventional means to tertiary education available within our ever expanding shores.

UNSW Asia – The Debacle
Written by Mallika Desai   
Education for us is like the air that we breathe in every day; a must, as without it we can't survive.

In today’s world, to survive without a high-quality educational degree is terribly difficult. Yes, you hear those success stories of the heroes who rose from the ground without having any educational background and succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. But those are anomalies.

The average person must possess a firm educational background, in order to move on in life.

5 Ways To Be Late And Get Away With It!
Written by Lee Xin En   
I ought to get paid for this. After all, I am imparting a skill that all most undergraduates need.

Before I begin, let it be known that professors may make self-deprecating jokes and all, but YES they are still generally much smarter than their students, and can probably tell, from their years of experience, the difference between a genuine excuse and a lame one.

So show your professor some respect – a snide “my bus broke down” is not creative, plain lame, and not worth mentioning, even though that does happen. Let the seasoned players give you an analysis of the 5 excuses that may pull you through, or drag you down.

KAI@Models in Fashion
Written by Shawn Woo   

This writer had the unenviable task of going to a nightclub to cover a ladies fashion label.

Why unenviable? ‘Cuz this involved me actually scrutinizing the clothes, without paying attention to the runway models wearing the clothes. 

But duty calls, and I grudgingly went ahead.
