In a surprising move (not) , the new adviser has threatened to quit the club for the fifth time this week unless old adviser is "impaled and hung to dry on a lonely tree in Christmas Island."

Mr Seow elaborated : "This town is big enough for only one of us. I am sick and tired of him making jokes at the expense of my new Exco. I am the first decent editor of this blog! I am the masculine one!"

Recent spats between the two factions have received attention. Well-wishers have expressed their support for the New Adviser and are willing to stand behind him, against the tyranny which the Old Guards represent. - The Imagine Papers

Breaking News

Reports coming in are stating that the new exco had changed the lock to the office and they have sacked long time volunteer Mr Lai after accusing him of not allowing them access to the email account. During the negotiation last night, the ex adviser was seen driving off 10 mins after the new advisor arrived at the building. - Malaysiakini

AGM for Youareben Fanclub

with immediate effect, after the AGM held 2 minutes ago, the new exco will take over duties from the old exco.

Insiders revealed a certain level of inappropriate behaviour by the old exco in representing the club. The new exco is as follows:

Outgoing Exco
Chairman : Ms Koh
Adviser : Mr Hew

Incoming Exco
Chairman of Fanclub : Mr Ng and Mr Lee (co-chair)
Adviser : Mr Seow

Mr Seow revealed his disappointment with the "indecency" of the old exco and looked forward to "better times" in the future with his new committee. Mr Seow also mentioned the plausibility of submitting the fanclub's official website in the Singapore Blog competition, despite the sniggles heard within the crowd. - Reuters-

The Importance of Good Writing

During the course of our work, we will be required to write. Therefore, it is important that we are able to write in a clear and concise manner so that our readers would be able to understand the messages that we are conveying. In this article, I will share with the readers some tips on better writing.

Before we start to write an article, we ought to think through the points that we are going to pen down. This is in fact the most important step in the writing process. For example, if we want to write about some problems with the present policy, we must make sure that the problem statement must be analysed. We should never stop at describing the problem. This is one common mistakes that local writers tend to make. I have read a newspaper article with the headline "Analysing the Financial Crisis", but after reading through the paragraphs twice, I realised that the writer only described the problems arising from the crisis. He made no attempt to analyse the consequences that might have resulted from the crisis.

Remember when were in Primary/ Secondary schools, our teacher would restrict our essays to a certain number of words. While it might help us to manage our time during exams, it serves another purpose. We should always aim to get our points across using the minimum number of words, or in another words, we must be concise. For example the sentence " In the end, Alan Shearer managed to save the Magpies from relegation on the last day of the season." Nothing wrong with the sentence, but since the writer had already used "in the end" at the start, it would be redundant to mention "on the last day of the season".

The usage of bombastic words should also be minimised or eliminated altogether. Writers should aim to convey their with simple English. If you do not understand the difference between "obvious" and "prominent", use the former.

I hope that you do pick up something useful from reading this article. Thank you.
