Hello everyone!
*Major Event 2016*, the big musical that many of us have been working hard
at for the past few months, has finally come to an end last night. I think
the show was absolutely stunning, and I hope those of you who came to watch
it enjoyed yourself thoroughly. For those of us who have been working
tirelessly for the production, I hope you found the effort worth it, and I
hope you are proud of yourself for pulling off such a good show (:
With that, it is soon time for the 33rd ExCo to step down and pass on the
baton to the upcoming batch, and this is where we encourage all of you to
step up and take on the responsibility of making ICSS a home away from
home. The *Annual General Meeting* will take place on *16 Mar 2016 (Wed), 1
pm* at *Huxley LT 311*, and this is where we will *elect the 34th ExCo*. If
you are interested in any of the roles, please find out more by approaching
either the 33rd ExCo or our predecessors, to gain insights on what the
roles entail.
Finally, we are taking *pre-orders* for *Retrospect 2016*, ICSS' *triennial
yearbook* which will be a precious keepsake for the memories you have made
over the past three years in ICSS. Pre-ordered books will be priced at
*£10* (U.P.
£15), but limited quantities are available at this price, and collection
will be done at SFP 2016 in late May. Do make your orders HERE

For those who were involved in ME16, have a good rest! And to everyone
else, jiayou for the last few weeks of term, and then Easter Break will be
here (:
Your touched Secretary,
Ben Chin (:

1. CNY Dinner
Hi everyone!
Thanks for coming down for the ICSS CNY dinner!
We hope that we managed to fill everyone's hungry bellies and satisfy your
inner singing desires. Most importantly, we hope that on this cold winter
night, we managed to warm everyone's hearts by bringing you a slice of home.
We hope to see you again next year!
Your funny Events Officer,
Wei Yan
2. Major Event
My Singapore Girl, Major Event 2016, has finally come to an end :) To
everyone who came to watch our show, thank you so much! We hope that you
enjoyed our show as much as we did performing for you! It took a year's
worth of planning, and months of hard work from an amazing crew of a
hundred strong to piece this amazing musical together.
We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to every single one of our
lovelies for this epic journey, one of many late night trainings and
weekends sacrificed! Hopefully it has given you an experience that you will
never forget even after graduating from Imperial :) I have seen many new
and old bonds being formed and strengthened through Major Event and it was
a very heartening sight. Peeping through the glass window of the door and
watching the performance gave me goosebumps even though its the eighth time
i've watched you guys perform and i am so grateful for being a part of this
event with you guys. Couldn't have asked for anything more! :)
See you next year for Major Event 2017 ;)
3. Annual General Meeting
Dear all,
I struggle to find a word in the dictionary more amazing than amazing to
describe the perfect night yesterday. However, the conclusion of Major
Event does not mark the end of the wonderful things the 33rd Exco has
planned for you.
It is time for our Annual General Meeting (AGM) and the 34th Executive
Committee Elections.
During the AGM, the 33rd Exco will review the things we have done in our
term as well as go through our financial statements. The election of the
34th Executive Committee will take place afterwards.
Here are the details of the AGM and Elections:
*Date:* 16 March 2016, Wednesday
*Time:* 1pm - 7pm
*Venue:* Huxley LT 311
Lunch will be provided.
Additionally, here are some key dates for the elections:
*9th Mar:* Closing date to buy membership to run for a position in the Exco
as well as to vote
*12th Mar - 14th Mar:* Nomination period
More details on the elections will be released at a later date.
Being in the executive committee is a heavy responsibility. However, it is
a sweet burden – to work together with a team aligned with the common goal
to make ICSS the warm home it is today. It will be a tough journey, but an
amazing learning experience and one that will allow you to contribute back
to the Singapore Society in the most direct way possible.
If you are considering to stand for elections, I would strongly encourage
you to find out more about the roles you are interested in by approaching
either the 33rd ExCo or our predecessors. Through these conversations, it
would allow you to gain insight on which role best suits you and whether or
not you are able to commit in the long run. Here are the contacts of the

Imperial):

Details of the production are as follows:
Date: *27th February 2016 (Saturday)*
Time: *1900 to 2230*
Venue: *Great Hall*, Sherfield Building Level 1, Imperial College London
To give you a taste of what to expect, here's a brief synopsis of our show
;)
*Exhilarating, witty and warm to the heart, our musical this year follows
the story of Hannah, a Singaporean Girl who wants to be THE Singapore Girl;
to travel the world as an air stewardess. But she faces one big obstacle;
she can't speak proper English! Fortunately or not, Hannah eventually meets
Augustus, a Professor of Linguistics, who promises to transform her within
6 months, but only on one condition.*
*What is this condition? How will he transform her? Will Hannah ever speak
proper English? 'My Singapore Girl' puts a Singaporean twist to the classic
musical, 'My Fair Lady', and will bring you through the ups and downs of
this heartland Singapore girl, as she finds her way towards achieving her
dream!*
*Come join Hannah in her exciting new journey!*
Your excited MEO,
Nic (:
*3. Day Trip Updates*
Hi everyone!
Just a quick update regarding the Day Trip to Portsmouth, but I'm sorry to
say that interest wasn't sufficient for us to be able to proceed with the
Day Trip. But it's okay, if you realise that you suddenly have a lot of
free time on the 5th of March, do support MSoc who are having their
Malaysian Night on that Saturday and Sunday.
Don't worry, just because of Major Event doesn't mean we've forgotten about
our Musical Outing so look out for that very soon!
Your cool Events Officer,
Gao Ming
