Ciao everyone!
I hope summer term has been going well so far with all our exciting exams
and dazzling deadlines!
*Singsoc Farewell Party* was held on *20 May 2016*, and I hope all of you
had a great night with food and friends. A big thank you to all our
graduating seniors for creating such a warm community here, and I hope that
whatever paths you embark on will be rewarding.
For those of us in the midst of exams, I hope you had a great meal (or
two!) at *Food for Thought* on *23 and 24 May*! We are also very sorry to
those who came down but found that there was not enough food for everyone.
*Retrospect 2016 *was also successfully launched during the *Singsoc
Farewell Party* on *20 May*! For those of you who still wish to get a copy

1. Singsoc Farewell Party
Hello everyone!
A very big thank you to all who joined us at *SFP* on *20 May 2016*, I hope
all of you had a great night with the company of our friends (:
To our friends on exchange and the graduating seniors, SFP was probably
your last ICSS event that you attended with the people around you before
you officially graduate from Imperial. I hope you’ve enjoyed yourselves
last week, reminiscing the memories from 3-4 years back when you first
stepped foot into Imperial, looking back at all the fun you had with your
friends all the way back since your Sojourn days. And I hope SFP has
reminded you of how far you have come, but most importantly the people who
have walked this journey with you.
I didn’t really get the chance to say what I wanted to say to the seniors
that night, but I am really grateful for everything that you have done for
us and for ICSS. You guys have been more than just seniors to us, but also
our friends, having fun with us, going through the same if not similar
experiences. Even though some of you might be a few years older than me, I
never really felt that age gap because you guys were always so friendly and
approachable. But more than being just a friend, you guys have always been
our pillar of support, providing us juniors with support and advice when we
needed help, especially when we were freshers, helping us to settle down
smoothly.
>From the bottom of my heart, I am thankful to have met you guys and to have
had the chance to spend time with you in my first year. Life at Imperial in
the next academic year will definitely be different without you guys. So as
many of you are about to walk your separate ways, I hope that SFP was more
than an event to mark the end of your journey at Imperial, but more so, a
chance for all of us to celebrate the memories that we have had and the
friendships that we have forged on this journey.
Seniors, we will definitely miss you, and I hope ICSS has been and will
always be a home away from home for you (:
Your grateful and sentimental President,
Si Ci
2. Food for Thought
Hello!
Thank you to all those who came down for our recently concluded event - *Food

stress in this exam period & that exams are going/have gone well for you!(:
We hope you enjoyed the food (& sincerely apologise if you didn't - or if
there wasn't enough!) and see you at our next event!

Yuan Rong and Yan Tong
3. Retrospect 2016

the greatest living football players in the world, and despite having
retired from football, he is still one of the most recognisable athletes
and fashion icons today. "I just want people to see me as a hardworking
footballer, someone that's passionate about the game, someone that – every
time I stepped on the pitch – I've given everything that I have, because
that's how I feel. That's how I look back on it and hope people will see
me."*

Hello to all,
It’s your enthusiastic sports officer once again! Kit Kat was held last
Saturday on 23 Jun 2016 at Hyde Park, and a big thank you to all who took
time off their busy schedule to come down! I sincerely hope everyone had an
enjoyable time at the picnic, whether you were playing sports or simply
chatting with friends and munching on the snacks provided, and managed to
take a breather from your exam preparations.
In the midst of our hectic exam preparations, I hope this simple event has
allowed Singsoc members to share a laugh with their friends, work out a
sweat, and simply have a good time with one another.
Thank you very much for your invaluable support :D

graduating soon, as the next edtion will be in 2019...
Furthermore, we have managed to secure a significant amount of sponsorship
for this project (YAY!!), we have managed to reduce the price of the book
