Don't forget to take a break from work regularly, reward yourself with a good meal sometimes, and have a short chat with your friends occasionally! If you're in need of a listening ear, you can come talk to me too! A very big THANK YOU for all those who came down for Singsoc Farewell Party on Friday night, we hope you had fun! For the graduating seniors and exchange students who are leaving, thank you for all you have done for Singsoc and you will be dearly missed ): More details on the event will be in the next issue! Just a few short reminders...

Thank you! Your faithful Secretary, Benjamin Chin (: 2. Evelyn Gardens Memory Project Hi friends! As you guys might have heard, the Evelyn Gardens accommodation cluster will be shutting down after this academic year. I believe many of us, past and present residents and non-residents, have had great times in the halls here as well as in the surrounding area. Evelyn Gardens has definitely played an important role in our first year at Imperial at least, with the many hall activities organised by the wardening team, and chilling in the common rooms of the various halls around. Therefore, we would like to ask you to share with us your memories of Evelyn Gardens, and these will go into next year's edition of Retrospect. After all, the hall life had been a defining one for most of us, and I am sure we have many great memories to share. Do share your stories by filling up and uploading photos HERE <http://union.us9.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&i…> ! Hope to hear your stories soon! Your kiasu liaisons officer, Ivan 3. ICSS Card Design Competition Hello everyone!

by Benjamin Chin 19 May '15

19 May '15

Hello Everybody! The following announcement is with regards to the change in venue for the Singsoc Farewell Party (SFP) that will be taking place this Friday, 22nd May 2015, at 7pm. Venue: Electrical & Electronic Building, Lecture Theatre 509 *Huxley Lecture Theatre 308 *(located on the 3rd floor in between Blackett and Huxley!) The reason for the change in venue is due to the EEE students having exams in that room on the day itself. We were informed very late regarding the cancellation of our booking and we only received a confirmation on our new booking today. We are very sorry for any inconveniences caused and we hope that you will understand! Also, please do spread the word with regards to the change in venue to people that you know are going or might be going! PS: *Remember to come in the dress code (PIANO COLOURS) for the SFP!* Regards, Tan Wei Yan Events Officer Imperial College Singapore Society +6581880976 | +447518275020

There will be loads of food, games and entertainment (all guaranteed plus chop fun :D)!

ICSS Forums Hi everyone, It's that time of the year when we start moving houses again, and some of us may be looking for avenues to sell that extra mattress, crockery set or textbook, or even to let out our places for summer storage and/or rental over the summer break. We would thus like to invite you to try out the *ICSS Forums* <http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id…> ! The ICSS Forums is an experimental forum hosted on the society's website.
