Updates Hi everyone, I hope you are all as excited as I am about Major Event: Homecoming this Saturday! That's in 2 days' time. The cast and crew has really put in a ton of effort into each and every single aspect of the performance, making it definitely worth those few hours not spent mugging our heads off like the average Imperial Singaporean student. Assignments come and go, but as I've said before, each Major Event happens only once. Sometimes it's good to just take a break, jump on the bandwagon, and participate in the biggest event of the year like everyone else. In the meantime, you can take a look at all the publicity material that has been coming out this past week! Regarding CNY Dinner, we still have tables available! Consider no longer and make the decision to come down for this massive gathering! Check out the lucky draw prizes and doorgifts revealed below! In addition, the signup deadline has been extended to the *3rd of February (Sunday)*. Following this is the "Who Boleh? 2013" event, in collaboration with ICUMS. With Zara vouchers to be won, and won via playing Captain's Ball, computer games or various card/board games, there's no reason to wait! Please signup by *8th Februrary (Friday)*. Next, a little announcement. Those who have a place for Spring Trip but have not paid please pay by *1st February, Friday*, or your place will be opened up to those on the waiting list. On other news, the UCL CNY Carnival is this Sunday. There will be up to £500 of Selfridges vouchers to be won, and lots of yummy and rare goodies in the free goodie bags! Check out the post below for more information. And in the careers section, we have several notable additions, namely: SIA recruitment, the Public Policy Challenge (PPC) (signup ASAP for this!), and a PSD info session on careers, internships and the PPC held at UCL after the CNY carnival. Finally, applications for the Point Hope Book Prize 2013 are now closed! The awardees will be presented with their prize at this year's Major Event 2013: Homecoming. Hope to see you all at our events! Your faithful secretary, Gabriel ------------------------------ Contents 1. Major Event 2013 - Homecoming <#13c9244ca0aca60a_item1> 2.

The Weekly Kaya & Toast -- Spring Term Week 3
by Gabriel Quek 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Updates Hi everyone, Once again I am here to tell you how close we are to the BIGGEST EVENT in the ICSS calendar! Major Event is essentially *next week*! For those who have already bought tickets, thankyouverymuch, you will definitely be treated to a good show. For those who have not yet bought tickets, there is no time to waste! Give an exasperated "yes" to the friend who has been bugging you incessantly; find out more about the plot on our facebook event page. On performance day, you will not regret your decision. And for those not buying tickets, WHY MISS OUT? Come down to see how acting, singing, dancing, music and lights all come together in a single show, performed by fellow Singaporeans and friends no less. Major Event 2013 happens only once. Never again will you get the same blend of talented and energetic people. And that is what makes Major Event special, the people: on, off, and backstage. So please come, for your friends, for ICSS. Your valued presence will definitely shape the success of Major Event. On top of that, remember that Reunion dinner is best enjoyed in the company of those closest to our hearts. We urge you all to attend our annual Chinese New Year dinner with friends as this is the occasion where everyone is gathered for a warm hearty meal in the best company. The symbolism of this event ties in strongly with our theme for the year: Homecoming. We hope to have the entire ICSS family down in a show of unity. Finally, please sign up by the *1st of February (Friday)* to aid us in our planning. Thanks guys! In the same vein, let us not forget our neighbours across the Johor Strait. "Who Boleh? 2013" is a collaborative effort between ICSS and ICUMS, with individual and team prizes of *Zara **vouchers* worth up to £30 and £60 respectively! Use this chance to expand our social circles beyond fellow Singaporeans to our overseas relatives in Malaysia, and note the signup deadline of *8th Februrary (Friday)*. Next, we have a reminder to those who have signed up for Spring Trip. Please make payment ASAP as there are many interested individuals on the waiting list and we may have to make adjustments to the allocation if we do not receive confirmation. Also, Spring Musical signups are now closed. Note that the deadline for registering to run a stall for the CNY carnival at UCL is tomorrow, *25th of January*, and that pre-registration entitles you to a free goodie bag! More info below. Finally, don't forget the 2 Point Hope Book Prizes of £500 plus summer internship that are once again available. Applications close by *Sunday (27th Janurary) at 11:59pm*. Spring is busy time, full of life and activity. This seems to be reflected in our spring calendar, with event coming after event. But I must say that each of these events are important and meaningful in their own way and are organised to enrich the experiences of our members. The ICSS thrives on the vibrancy of its members, so I really hope to see you all there at these events! Your faithful secretary, Gabriel ------------------------------ Contents 1.

The Weekly Kaya & Toast -- Spring Term Week 1
by Gabriel Quek 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

Updates Hi everyone, Now that Spring Term has begun full and proper, here are all the exciting things that are lined up and screaming for your attention. And trust me, you WANT to pay attention. First and foremost, THE biggest event of the YEAR is just round the corner! Many months of preparation have gone by, hours of sweat, blood, tears and brain-juice has been spent on this endeavour. It's time to show the world what ICSS is made of. Come experience the adventures of 4 friends who will stop at nothing to make sure they manage to find their way back home to Singapore! And don't just come alone! Bring all your friends to *Major Event 2013: Homecoming*, showcasing Singapore and the ICSS. Please take note of the updated link. Secondly, with regards to Chinese New Year, please note that the date for our reunion dinner has been *changed* from 9th Feb to *8th Feb (Friday)*. It is encouraged that you sign up in groups of up to 10 people! More details below. (: Oh, on a related note, the annual CNY carnival will be taking place at UCL once again. Scroll all the way to the bottom of this KnT to read about how you can set up your own stalls! Third, as promised, and based on YOUR VOTES, there will be a musical outing to watch the Phantom of the Opera on the *12th of February*! This highly popular, members-only opportunity is the final one for this year, so... fastest fingers first. Good luck. Next up, some of us may recall fond memories of the "Who Boleh" series last year, of dodging bullets and balls, and of going head to head with our contemporaries from across the Johor Strait in a battle for culinary supremecy. This year, we once again come together with our neighbours for a day of fun and games. This time however, we will be having mixed teams from both societies, which is a chance for all to get to know the Malaysians better. So don't hesitate to seize this opportunity! Finally, having heard the voice of the people, we would like to announce that the ICSS Spring Trip will be to the White Cliffs of Dover! As usual, first come first served, and your place can only be confirmed upon full payment. More details below. And for the career oriented, there is 1 update, in the form of the Singapore Industry Scholarship. With that, enjoy Spring! Boing boing.
