by Weihao Lim 22 Nov '14

22 Nov '14

Updates Hi everyone! It's been some time since the previous issue of Kaya & Toast, I hope everyone's coping well with the endless tutorials, assessments and lab sessions! With work piling up, don't forget to take a breather too. In this issue, look out for details of our *Autumn Trip to Birmingham* on 6 December. Details of the trip has been posted on our Facebook page <http://e.groupspaces.com/click/57pzs-1ez6m-1eqsunq1pa?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.f…>, but in case you've missed it, check out how you may sign up for this trip below! Our *Ordinary General Meeting* (OGM) concluded last Wednesday, 12 November, and we would like to thank all members who have turned up. I hope the Ben & Jerry's ice-creams were a great starter to our programme that day! On the same day, we held our very own *Imperial Iron Chef* competition and a winner was determined at the end of the event. Do check out more details below! Last Monday, a lucky 40 of us went to catch a much-acclaimed musical - *The Book of Mormon*! It was an awesomely hilarious musical which I hope everyone has enjoyed themselves. No doubt, more musicals are in the planning, so look out for more updates in our future issues! Meanwhile, it's mid-term and approximately 4 more weeks to the Winter Break so keep that motivation going and charge forward! Way to go everyone! :) Your awesome secretary, Weihao Lim ------------------------------ Contents 1. Autumn Trip - Birmingham <#149d7ea9ba3a1853_149d7e800f884147_item1> 2.

ICSS Ordinary General Meeting (OGM) We concluded our annual OGM on 12 November. During this meeting, my team and I presented updates of what ICSS has accomplished thus far. The aim was to allow our members to be kept up to date with how the Society has been managed. On behalf of the 32nd Executive Committee, I would like to thank every single of you for your continuous support to ICSS thus far. ICSS continues in our aim to build a home away from home for all of you. I encourage you to join us in our events, foster relationships with fellow Singaporeans beyond our courses, hall etc. Be excited, keep checking back for more events that we have in store for you guys!

With love, Clive ------------------------------ 3. Imperial Iron Chef 2014 Last Wednesday, a few aspiring young chefs whipped up several dishes for this year's Imperial Iron Chef. A few lucky members who turned up early for OGM got a hand in tasting these dishes and play a part in deciding the winner of Imperial's very own Iron Chef! The dishes were clearly palatable and appealing. Much thought has been put into the preparation, cooking and organisation of their dishes indeed. This year, we are proud to announce that the Iron Chef 2014 goes to *Chee Wei Jie*! His dish was sesame chicken and has garnered the most thumbs-up from the judges. We would also like to thank all participants for their effort and time in preparation for Iron Chef: *Russell Foo & Rion You* - Ramen *Nicholas Tan* - Ondeh Ondeh *Collin Wan* - Laksa *Victoria Yap *- Claypot Rice *Ng Pei Yi *- Onion Pastry *Benjamin Ng* - Sweet & Sour Chicken We hope everyone has had an enjoyable time at the event and at your respective Hall Cookouts too! See y'all next year :) Your (so) awesome secretary, Weihao Lim ------------------------------ 4. The Book of Mormon Musical Our musical outing to The Book of Mormon was concluded last Monday, 17 November! This musical event made for an enjoyable evening and served as a much-needed break from studies. A big THANK YOU to everyone for making the event a great success! We hope to see a similarly enthusiastic response from all of you for our subsequent musicals in the spring term! Stay tuned! Your friendly Events Officer, Lincoln ------------------------------ http ://www . union . ic . ac . uk/osc/singapore/ <http://e.groupspaces.com/click/57pzs-1ez6m-1eqsunq1pa?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.un…> To unsubscribe, visit https://mailman . ic . ac . uk/mailman /listinfo/icu-singsoc <http://e.groupspaces.com/click/57pzs-1ez6m-1eqsunq1pa?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmailm…> Powered by GroupSpaces <http://e.groupspaces.com/click/57pzs-1ez6m-1eqsunq1pa?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgroups…> - Manage your group online <http://e.groupspaces.com/click/57pzs-1ez6m-1eqsunq1pa?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgroups…> <http://e.groupspaces.com/click/57pzs-1ez6m-1eqsunq1pa?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgroups…>
