3. Major Event
Hello everyone!!
I hope that you are all having a fantastic summer! I’m happy to say that we
have chosen our new script for *Major Event 2017*!! But first, let us thank
all of our incredible friends who took part in our scriptwriting hunt! It
was truly a tough decision to make as we have received so many great
stories and we really appreciate your enthusiasm and effort for the cause.
Next, I would like to introduce a very special group of people, who will be
working very closely with us for the many months to come! They have played
a big role in deciding which script to feature and also provided many ideas
to making the song and dance scene diverse and vibrant! Let me formally
introduce our creative team! We have our chorale directors, *Teun Yee* and *Hao
Yang*, our dance directors, *Magdalene* and *Sabrina,* our music director,
*Maurice*!
Now, we present to you the script for Major Event 2017!! Written by* Eugene
Kwa*, it talks of a bittersweet love story between two individuals. But,
who better to provide a better synopsis than the scriptwriter himself…
*“Presenting...*
*GETAI*
*Inspired by the musical Moulin Rouge, it tells the story of a songwriter
and a songstress. A chance encounter between our two leads at a fateful
Getai performance develops into something more. However, circumstances of
fate impede our two lovers and threaten to tear them apart. Will they find
their happy ending?”*
Gasp! Well, I guess we’ll have to join our Major Event Team and find out!
We’re glad to say that sign-ups are now officially open to all at this link
HERE!
<http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id…>

will also be a great time for everyone to meet our new freshers and relive
the great Major Event experience! Ohh the feels!! So what are you waiting
for? Signup today!!
For record and contact purposes, do fill up the form even if you have
personally expressed your interest in joining to any of our creative team
members. If you have any questions, talk to me or any member of my creative
team, we’ll be happy to answer your burning questions! Alternatively, email

*P.S. Today is Alfian Sa'at's birthday! Alfian is a Singaporean writer,
poet and playwright. He is currently the resident playwright of the theatre
group W!LD RICE, and his plays have been translated to German and Swedish,
and performed worldwide. Alfian himself has been described as “one of the
most acclaimed poets in his country... a prankish provocateur, libertarian
hipster”. "...So I slept again, dreaming / Of playing toys away from the
sunlight / That leaked in between hawk-eyed curtains / Gold-plating
afternoon dust to shining pollen. / When I awoke I was twenty, being asked
/ If I had a happy childhood. Yes, the one / We all have: filled to the
brim / With the love of absent things."*

1. Pre-Departure Talk
Hi everyone!
Pre-Departure Talk 2016 was held last Saturday, 9 Jul 2016 at Furama
Riverfront Hotel. It was a fruitful session for the incoming freshers and
parents who not only heard about the pre-departure administration that was
required, but were also introduced to ICSS and the many events awaiting
them both in Singapore and in London.
I would also like to thank all seniors who came down to interact with the
freshers and answered their questions. I daresay that they benefited the
greatest from the course mingling held after the talk! We also hope you
enjoyed the buffet provided (:
Special mention goes to the Academic Reps who helped organise the freshers,
address their concerns and ensure that they received and completed the
relevant forms and documents!
Your cheery Secretary,
Hui Chiang
