Checklist for school

Being the number one faculty in NUS, we at FASS always ensures that our students are one step ahead of everyone else. We have our own (fake) Twitter accounts, we have our own bus terminal, and also our own library (they call it Central but if you read it backwards it is lARTnec. We hid the word in there.)
We lent it to the other people because it's in too good a location, and they petitioned to have it too so we had to give in.

ANYWAY, it's back to school tomorrow, and we want to make sure you are prepared for it! Thus, we have compiled a checklist of things that you need, or should prepare, for school this coming semester. Ok, 3, 2, 1, let's go.

10) New clothes / clothing planner
Stop wearing those slippers, singlets, and crappy shorts! Put on some shoes, proper clothes, otherwise you may find yourself featured on @nus_fp ... or basically talked about by everyone. If you live in hall.. I guess it's too tempting to just throw on whatever you grab first. But if you don't... avoid sloppy attire.

Even if you have a belly, this is a nono. ESPECIALLY if you have a belly.

For girls who do dress up and wear nice clothes, it doesn't hurt to come up with a clothing planner. Try to randomize it abit in the sense that you don't always wear the same thing on Tuesdays, etc. Otherwise your friends will start to notice and think hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Of course, all this is unnecessary, but we had @nusfp at the back of our minds when we wrote this, so yea.


9) Money for special reasons

It's the plight that many students find themselves in - At the end of all the rounds of bidding, when school has already started, they still have less than 5 modules. It's time to APPEAL.
What do you need for appeal? A pretty darn good reason to give you the module. Don't have it? Try bribing exchange of benefits. Don't say we asked you to do so. We didn't. -jedimindtrick



If you are really desperate you could try this, but it is a felony to do so , so...

8) A new alarm clock
Missed lecture because you overslept? Couldn't have lunch with your OG because you slept in? It's time to get a new and powerful alarm clock! Because we are the faculty that cares, we have liased with some alarm clock vendors to bring you some unique alarm clocks!

The Jigsaw Alarm Clock
You need to solve the puzzle before the alarm stops! Definitely to wake you up! (If not the alarm won't stop)
For those with higher IQ,  there's a special edition Rubik's Cube version! Solve the cube to stop the alarm!
The Pillow Alarm Clock
A 2-in-1 gadget that is your comfortable fluffy pillow by night, and your irritating vibrating alarm clock by day! It changes texture to become extremely hard and vibrates to wake you up from your deepest slumber! (Innuendo not intended. Stop thinking dirty)

The Target Alarm Clock
Comes with a small laser pistol which you have to fire at the target to stop the alarm! Place it across the room and be sure to have to be AWAKE to hit the target! (optional upgrade to an MP5, an AK-47 or an AWP)


All for $9.99!*
* for a limited period only. U.P. $99.99


7) A fun new game for your iPhone / laptop
A laptop open in front of you during lecture - obviously you are not 'just taking notes'. Tired of stalking random friend's friend's Facebook profiles? (Yes we see you! When the webcast camera is not recording we are actually monitoring students)

So here are some random online games for you to play:
Can you handle many minigames at once? Try out Multitask from Newgrounds!







Got good hand eye co-ordination? Try Winterbells by Ferry Halim! 


On the iPhone, try FreeAppADay to get updated on the latest free apps. Also, check the App Store's top 25 free games regularly, will occasionally find a gem or two :)


6) Foldable Table and Chair
Only have breaks between the peak hour of 12-2? Can't find a seat at the most popular canteen in NUS?
I'm sure many of us have been in this scenario before, and often have to stand around like idiots around the Deck before a space appears and only to have it snatched by some ahtiongs other students before we can sit down.

Entire wooden set folds up to a tiny briefcase which you can carry around easily. Available for $19.99!

Afraid of termites? How about aluminium? Made of the lightest tensile aluminium in the industry, this set folds up to a tiny suitcase that weighs only 3.14159 kg! Only costs $26.54!

Bring your own tables and chairs! This way, you will always have space to sit, regardless of what time you eat. (It rhymes too! so it has to be true! Even these sentences in brackets, cool!)



5) Pre-Morning Stimulant
Have an 8AM lecture/tutorial? (You never know, you may fail at tutorial bidding) Even a 10AM lecture may be difficult for some people who live far from school! (i.e. not in hall)

Thus we present the top 3 'Pre-Morning Stimulants' (or PMS, for short)! (according to a survey done on FASS students in AY10/11 Semester 1)

REDBULL GIVES YOU WINGS!
Available at ~$2 /can at a convenience store near you!
(We can't seem to find any decent stock pictures of the 'fake' redbull, the bronze-colored can which sells at $1 Maybe they're too budget)

NESCAFE @ $1!
For those who think Redbull is too sweet (which is precisely what wakes you up, imo), here's the classic caffeine provider for you!
Problem with coffee is that it makes you want to pee which can be a problem if you have a weak bladder.

COCAINE!
No no, we're kidding. Don't do drugs, kids. It's bad for health.



And last but not least...

4) A fake Twitter account to follow and recommend to your friends

Happy schooldays! (Like, you know, happy holidays)


P.S. If you're wondering where's 3, 2 and 1, they're immediately above 10). see it?
