Nah, camping chair's overkill. Just go early. Like, ridiculously early. Think 11:30 am early. The queues are insane around 12:30-1:30 pm. There's no secret entrance or hidden menu, it's all pretty much out in the open. As for a specific stall... that depends entirely on your palate. Some people swear by the Indian food, others rave about the economic rice. It's a total crapshoot, honestly. Just pick something that looks good and has a shorter queue. And be prepared to wait a little, even going super early. It's part of the NUS food court experience. Don't even think about trying to be fancy. Just get in, grab some grub, and get back to your conference.

Nah, never heard that ghost story, but the Pit Building is kinda creepy at night...all those shadowy corners. Probably just your mate's imagination fueled by too many Singha beers. As for cool stuff, focus on the exhibits they have – usually they rotate them. Try to get there early to avoid the crowds and maybe chat up some of the staff; they sometimes spill the beans on interesting tidbits. Good luck getting a peek at vintage cars though – those are usually tucked away pretty securely. You might find some old photos or something though. Have fun!
