I hope we are all having a good time! With most of the courses done with exams and summer break right around the corner, there is so much to be excited for! While most of us are looking forward to going back to Singapore, let us not forget that there are some very eager freshers looking forward to start their life here in London! To help them prepare for this move, the 36th Executive Committee is proud to present *The Ultimate Sotong Guide 2018*! Do share the guide with anyone you know who is coming to Imperial! On that note, the *Pre-Departure Talk 2018* is also happening soon! If you would like to interact with the freshers and share some tips and tricks, do come down and join us! Sign-up via the link provided below! Hope everyone has a great last few weeks of term!

Year on year, seniors have complied what is essentially a dummies' guide to London, aptly titled - *The Ultimate Sotong Guide*! Back with a refreshed look and an updated accommodations section, the Ultimate Sotong Guide 2018 is now complete! If you know any incoming freshers (undergraduate, masters or postgraduate), feel free to share this LINK <https://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&i…> with them! :) You know what they say: sharing is caring. >From your dearest madam president, Jacelyn 2. Pre-Departure Talk 2018 Heya people! Finally, it is my (one and only) time to shine. The annual ICSS *Pre-Departure Talk* will be happening again soon! As I'm sure we all know, the Pre-Departure Talk aims to welcome the incoming class of freshers into the Imperial Singaporean community, as well as to provide valuable information to ease their transition to life here in London. As seniors, your advice and know-how is invaluable! Every course already has an academic representative who will be coming down to meet the freshers, but the more the merrier (especially for the larger courses)! The details for the Pre-Departure Talk are as follows: *Date*: 15th July 2018 *Time*: 1400 - 1700 (registration for freshers will start at 1330) *Venue*: Furama Riverfront Hotel We encourage as many seniors to attend as possible to share your knowledge and interact with the freshers (don't just come for the food people)! To sign up for the Pre-Departure Talk AS A SENIOR, please go to this LINK <https://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&i…> (don't mistakenly sign-up through the freshers' sign up form :P). More information will be sent out via email to seniors who signed up closer to the event date! Thanks in advance, and hope you all have a great day!

Introduction by the 36th Major Event Officer Hello readers of K&T! I hope both of you are holding up well in this stressful period of exams. There are many people I wish to thank for this opportunity, and even more I would like to blame. I have written them down in a list somewhere but it is too long to share. Needless to say you (yes, you) are on it. Jokes aside, I would truly like to thank those who took the time out of their busy exam schedules to make their voice heard. For those who did not, thank you for not voting for RON. There’s isn’t much I have to say that hasn’t been said in my manifesto or video, but it is truly an honour to be able to serve the Society and to realise next year’s *Major Event*. While I am sure many of you feel as apprehensive as I do, I hope at least some of you also feel excited as I am for it. Till next time, Nathanael 3.

In the blink of an eye, the Easter break is over and the *summer term* has begun! While this may mean that exams are now terrifyingly near, on the bright side, the academic year will be ending in a little less than 2 months! Yes, that means going back to Singapore for most of us - tasting some good ol' prata, drinking some kopi, and sweltering in the tropics. That sounds absolutely wonderful. Before I lose all of you to your own I-miss-Singapore reveries, there are still many things happening this summer term! First up, the Summer Elections are fast approaching, and the 36th Executive Committee will be opening up nominations for the vacant position of *Major Events Officer (MEO)*! Whether or not you are thinking of running for MEO, do read through the information provided below thoroughly - your votes will matter in the Summer Elections! While the summer term may be the final term of the year for most of us, for others, this term marks their last term here at Imperial College. As per tradition, the 36th Executive Committee will be holding the annual* SingSoc Farewell Party* in a couple of weeks' time! Check out the post below for more details on how to RSVP. Our gold sponsor this year, *ExxonMobil Singapore*, will be holding a campus recruitment talk and they want you to attend! Please see the post below for relevant details. Don't stress too much over exams everyone! Remember: dread it, run from it, destiny still arrives. With warm protein-denaturing-temperature regards, Teo Jia Wei *Imperial students are such aggressive learners - we hit the books * Content 1.

Major Events Officer Election Hey guys! As you may have noticed, our team's missing an important person. After the Leadership Elections held earlier this year, the role of *Major Event Officer (MEO)* was left vacant. Every year for one night, and one night only, ICSS puts up musical with over 90 participants who have spent over 9 months preparing for this event. >From scripts written to music composed and dances choreographed, these are all original works created by our talented members. Major Event is an opportunity for individuals to meet and get to know fellow Singaporeans and be part of something bigger. The Major Event Officer oversees this event and is guaranteed a whale of a time during their term. We will be *reopening nominations of MEO* together with the Imperial College Union Summer Elections. The guidelines for the elections have been sent out via email to all registered members of ICSS. Individuals interested in running for the position of MEO are advised to read through the instructions carefully. As there is only a single position open for nominations, the 36th Executive Committee has decided that *an Extraordinary General Meeting will not be held*. Instead, the candidate will submit a *manifesto *and a *3 minute long video speech* indicating his motivations in running for office and plans for Major Event 2019. More information can be found in the information sheet sent out. Voting will be carried out online from* 29 May to 1 June 2018* this year. Do note that the right to vote for your desired MEO in the Summer Elections 2018 for ICSS is *member-exclusive* and the *deadline for membership is 9 May*. Feel free to email me if you have any questions regarding the elections process. Thank you for your support so far and here's to an exciting year ahead :) Your feeling-like-something's-missing President, Jacelyn See 2. SingSoc Farewell Party Dear ICSS, We would like to invite you to this year's *SingSoc Farewell Party*, an annual event organized for our graduating seniors.

The ICSS 2017 - 2018 Journey <https://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&i…> ICSS 2017 - 2018 Journey Video Montage It has been an honour for the 35th to serve everyone at ICSS and celebrate the society's 35th Anniversary.

Thank you to everyone for your support and to all our sponsors for your generous contributions! We look forward to opening the time capsule, which was sealed during our 35th Anniversary Celebrations this year, in 15 years time! 3. Words from the President, Benjamin With the election of the 36th Executive Committee, our term as the 35ths has finally come to a close. I believe my fellow committee members have a lot to say to everyone here, and I hope that you could indulge us in our final words as your committee members in our final issue of The Kaya and Toast Times. To my beloved *Exco*, I don't think I say this often enough but I am genuinely thankful for all the little sacrifices you've made to make ICSS a better place. I know I have my quirks, sometimes perhaps a mindset that is different from what is deemed to be normal or appropriate, and I'm sure there have been periods throughout the term when you just wanted to strangle me by the neck -- for all these moments I apologise; I am, after all, learning too. But more importantly, thank you for sticking by the team despite all our individual inadequacies and idiocies. These have been tiring, trying months, but sometimes when I lie in bed at night, I think about where we all began, how we always have fun at our events, and I cannot help but feel a sense of pride when I look back and see how far we've all come, as a committee and as a society. We make a good team, and it has been my honour and pleasure to have served together with all of you. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who have been by my side every step along the way. Firstly, to my big boss and the forever-President, *Si Ci*, thank you for guiding me along this journey, and for always nudging me back on track when things seem to go a little bit off. It is always a comforting and reassuring feeling to know that in this journey of being President, there's someone who has been through it all who is ready to lend a helping hand. And to my fellow *year 2 aeronauts*, thank you for being the best coursemates I could ever ask for. I know I rant a lot, and seeing how much time I spend with you guys I'm very sure you guys bore the very brunt of my incessant ranting and whining. Thank you for always listening, for always showing concern, for patiently hard-carrying me when I get so lost, flustered and clueless when courseworks and revision come around. Above all, thank you for giving me a family I had never asked for, from our weekly AeroFoodieFridays to our adhoc celebrations to the kind of support I've been receiving from you guys since day one... you guys are the true MVPs, and know that in my heart I appreciate every little thing you all have done to make my term that little bit more manageable. Not forgetting too, the faces that have been around throughout my term, the friends that, in your own unique and personal way, have rallied around me at different points in my term as President. Even in a small community like ICSS faces can still come and go easily, but I want you to know that if at any point in time along the way you've popped in an encouraging word or a pat on the shoulder, it means a lot to me. Never once in my journey as President did I feel I was left alone to deal with my problems, and I think that truly is the hallmark of a bonded and cohesive community. And finally, *thank you ICSS*. When I first came here you gave me a home, and then you gave me a chance to make this home a better place. One year on, I hope I have not disappointed any of you, not just in my capacity as President, but as a normal living, breathing and feeling human being. It is truly my privilege and honour to have had the opportunity to serve as your President. Over a year ago I said in my campaign speech that I would pay all the good ICSS has given to me forward - rest assured, my journey does not end here. ICSS will always be my home away from home, and *if anything else, I urge you to join me in paying the goodness in the world forward regardless of who you are or how insignificant it may seem. A little bit of kindness goes a long way, and we can all always do a part in making this world a better place.* Thank you very much for everything over the past year, and I hope that you can provide the same kind of support to the incoming 36ths. It has been one heck of a ride, but it's time. For the very last time, your Disney President, <3ong 4. Words from the Vice-President, Douglas Hey ICSS! As my final post on KNT, I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone of you for supporting me, the 35th and ICSS throughout this one year! Our events, our successes, and our warm heartening family could not have been possible without all of you. This one year has passed much faster than I thought it would have, with countless hurdles and bumps along the way (Olympic slope was really bumpy too). I would say that this was one of the most challenging phases in my life, but I guess that is what makes this journey so much more fulfilling and enjoyable. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to embark on this journey with all of you! It has been a great run and I hope that you will continue to support the 36th as how you have supported us. Thank you very much! *To the Ski-Trippers:* Hope all of you are already missing the countless of emails and google forms I have asked you to fill in. Anyway, thank you for your help and support in making this trip successful. Your quick responses and enthusiasm towards this trip definitely made the planning a lot simpler and enjoyable. I hope all of you have enjoyed it as much as I did! Maybe not the meat quantity or the lady watching over the meat section, but everything else. Maybe we will see each other on the trip again? *To the talented group of musicians in music team:* Thank you for committing x number of hours to music team rehearsals and Major Event! I am really proud to be the TA to you bunch of insanely musically inclined musicians. I have always treated music team rehearsals as a short escape from reality into this melodic colourful world where all we have to worry about is playing the right notes and not messing up any solos. I hope all of you have found a special place in this music family and let our passion for music live forever! Music Team again next year? *To my coursemates:* Thank you for helping me along the way every time I fall back on work and pulling me back on track! I could not have juggled all this without your support. It is really great to have all of your company every day in school and jia you for the remaining weeks! *To my housemates: * Hey Fam! Please don’t cringe while reading this. Thank you for making our home a place that I always look forward to going back after school. The distance may be daunting, but the warmth and comfort of being around you guys makes the distance worth traveling. Thank you for always supporting me and ICSS events! *To the 36th Exco:* There will definitely be difficult times ahead, but just remember that you are not alone. You are a strong team and there is nothing that cannot be achieved with your collective effort. Many Exco batches have gone through this and we will be there to support you. Your friends and ICSS will be supporting you too, so press on! Your thought-provoking Vice-President Douglas Chan 5. Words from the Secretary, Tricia It seems like it was only yesterday that I was in Luxembourg, writing my first issue of The Kaya & Toast Times and clicking the ‘send’ button as my heart pounded with excitement, and now here I am, writing my concluding post for the final edition from the 35th. The past year has been incredible; there have been low points but there have been many more fun, rewarding and wonderful moments that have warmed my heart time and again throughout the year and made this whole experience worth it. While the 35th tried to build a home away from home for everyone at ICSS, we too found a group of people we can fall back on in all of you. Thank you everyone for allowing me to serve you and for providing me with so much help, support, kindness and beautiful memories throughout the past year. It has been truly enjoyable writing The Kaya & Toast Times every fortnight and this is something I will miss doing after this final issue has been sent out. Thank you to *all my* *KnT readers* for reading each issue no matter how long they get, and for providing me with comments to let me know that you’ve read an issue. It is especially satisfying to know that many of you have found the newsletter issues useful in helping you to keep up to date with our events. Thank you too to my fellow *ICSS Photokakis* for taking loads of high-quality photographs and for allowing me to use them in every newsletter :) To my* Academic Reps*, thank you very much for helping me to reach out to your coursemates for the Singsoc Farewell Party and for other course-related matters. I would especially like to thank my *Year 2 Academic Reps* *Bryan, Darren, Vivian, Kenzo, Seeu Si, Mingrou, Alvin, Wei Jia, Joel, Trina, Ernest, Fang Rui, Justin, Michael and Rick *for accommodating all my requests particularly during summer, and for helping me to make Academeet happen. It has been a pleasure working with all of you! To my* PDT team of seniors*, thank you for making time to attend the Pre-Departure Talk in Singapore, and for sharing about your course and life in London with the freshers! It was amazing to see such a huge turnout of seniors! Thank you, *Bryan*, for kindly offering to speak to the Masters students! We had a huge number of Masters students entering this year and the 35th would not have been able to address their concerns if not for you. Thank you too to *the 34th* for the immense help that you gave me throughout the entire process of organising PDT! Thank you, *Hui Chiang*, for guiding me not just for PDT but also throughout this entire year and for responding to all my questions so quickly! To* Music Team 2018*, thank you for giving your all to Major Event 2018! It was heartening to see the team transform from a group of strangers to a family over the many rehearsals, and I hope that the friendships forged will remain strong long after ME 2018 has ended. All of you are very talented in your own ways and it has been humbling serving all of you as the Music TA. I hope that you have enjoyed every bit of welfare the two TAs have tried to give you and I look forward to our next cohesion! To my *coursemates and Beit hallmates 16/17*, thank you for being a huge source of support throughout this entire period. Thank you for turning up at events organised by the 35th and for backing our initiatives to change the way certain events are run. Thank you too for always checking on me! To the *35th*, thank you for being the best team one could ever ask for! Thank you for tolerating all my naggings about KnT or other random matters, and for working so well together to make each event so fun, enjoyable and successful. It’s been an honour being a part of the 35th and I am glad that we have made the changes we wanted to see:) Finally, thank you *Jia Wei* for stepping up to serve the society! The journey ahead will not be the easiest but whenever the going gets tough, take a step back and think about why you ran in the first place. Work closely with your ExCo for there is strength in numbers and take the initiative to help your ExCo. If you need any help, don’t hesitate to ask me! I look forward to your first issue of The Kaya & Toast Times! All the best to the 36th and I wish you a great term ahead! For the very last-time, Your grateful Secretary, Tricia 6. Words from the Treasurer, Aaron Thank you to all the awesome people in Singsoc for your support and faith in the 35th! All food is on me! Your Treasurer, A-a-ron 7. Words from the Events Officer, Hua Chong It has truly been an amazing experience for me this past year serving as your Events Officer! It feels like it was just yesterday when I was in EEE LT408 sharing the most embarrassing things I’ve done so far. I would be lying to say that I have not looked forward to my ORD day, but now that it is finally here, it seems really hard to let go of something that has become a really big part of my life. I would not have made it this far without the support of these special bunch of people: *To my amazing Sojourn team of Voyagers * A HUGE thank-you to Team Sojourn and all the OGLs for your support and dedication despite your busy schedules and commitments! Shout-out to this special group of Voyagers: To the *OGHs* (*Guan Ming, Rachel, Joejyn, Nicole, Vishnu and Pearlyn*), and *Game ICs (Christine, Shao Kai, Alvin, Ram, Michael, Wei Jian, Marvin and Kimberly) * thanks for stepping up and taking on these huge roles! It will have been impossible to reach Donlon (last time l’ll say it kayy) without you all! *To the Cast Team of ME2018* It is my pleasure to have been your “Teaching Assistant” for the past few months! You have been a good-good bunch of crazy, amazingly talented people! Definitely gonna miss our ridiculous warmups, unripe mangos, and WELL CUT watermelons! Truly humbled and grateful to be able to share the stage with all of you! *To my Mechanical Engineers! * The only people who understand that 0% doesn’t really mean 0%! To *Isabelle, Daryl, Justin, Zhao Yang, and Daniel*, thanks for all your help and support especially when I’m drowning in SingSoc work and Mech Engg! To the *Dancing Mechanics (Kimberly, Douglas and Calista*) I apologise for uttering this name out loud but thanks for being the founding members of our crazy adventures! *To the 35th* It has been a crazy and hectic year but I am glad to have been able to go through it all with you guys. To *Bong*: Thanks for leading us through this journey and succumbing to our retarded requests like being Santa Claus/Wong ShiFu. *Douglas: *Thanks for always having my back and making sure we stay afloat together through ME1. *Carys*: Thanks for always coming to our aid in our last-minute-event-panic-requests! *Aaron: *Thanks for covering our asses in all the $$ matters and keeping SingSoc well fed in all our events! *Tricia: *Thanks for never getting angry/annoyed at our late Kaya and Toast submissions! *Yujie: *Thanks for all your sleepless nights rushing photo montages and spamming on Facebook just so that we won’t have to!* Eunice:* Thanks for stepping up as MEO, guiding Jesse and the rest of ME2018 team through this journey! *LASTLY, to my partner-in-crime, Huang Guan:* THANKS for being my other retarded half, not caring if we embarrass ourselves in front of everyone. Gonna miss all those summer Halo/Dota (I MEAN Sojourn Prep) sessions! Couldn’t have asked for a better partner! *To the rest of SingSoc* Thanks for giving me this chance to serve as your Events Officer! This journey definitely wasn’t easy but you guys make it all worthwhile! Just like it has been for me, I hope that we have made ICSS your home away from home :) Your Shame-less Events Officer, Hua Chong 8. Words from the Events Officer, Huang Guan Wow, can’t believe it’s the end of 35th’s term already. A year has flown by so quickly and though there were so many events organised, they all feel so recent. I can still remember all the funny/epic moments vividly and all the interactions with you guys. To begin, I would like to thank everyone for supporting our events! Now, here’s some messages to specific groups of people! *To Team Sojourn:* Thank you all for your hard work during summer period and your willingness to give back to the society by making an impact in our fresher’s first major event.

Words from the Sports Officer, Carys The past year has been nothing short of amazing. It really warms my heart to see you all enjoy yourselves through sports. There were medals and maybe disappointments but I hope the greatest takeaways were the memories and friendships forged through it all. The whole ICSS sporting scene would not have been possible without your amazing sports reps Isabelle, Kenzo, Wei Jian, Ashley, Klement, Alex, Xin Yi, Andy, Rachel Loy, Alvin, Ee Jhun & Kai Liang. Thank you for helping to organise sports sessions for your fellow Singsoc friends despite your busy schedules! I hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as I did (: To Andy, thank you for stepping up to be the bball rep despite being a fresher. I hope you continue to take initiative within the Exco as well and help the rest out whenever you can! Take pride in being a sports officer and never underestimate your role as an Exco member (: The journey will not be easy but I have faith that you’ll do an amazing job! Don’t forget to have fun in the process and enjoy the one-of-a-kind experience! And you can always approach me if you have doubts / need help (: To the ME props team, thank you for all your time and effort (and manual labour), working tirelessly behind the scenes till late at night. You guys have done an amazing job despite the hiccups along the way. Special thanks to 小Nat, Daniel, Siew Han, Jia Wei & Ian for taking the lead in props / backstage. Being a props member is never easy so thank you ALL for choosing to be part of the team. I am incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved and hope you all continue to support ME / Singsoc next year!! Being in Exco has shaped my Singsoc experience into a fulfilling and rewarding one. Thank you Si Ci for believing in me and encouraging me to run for Exco despite my initial hesitation and doubts (: Also thanks JJ!! for answering all my doubts & requests, and for reassuring me that I was right for the role. And last but definitely not least, thank you 35th for the past 12 months of late nights, saikang and difficult decisions, but above all, laughter & friendship. I will always be proud to be part of the 35th, for daring to make changes and never losing faith when things don’t go as planned. Thank you for listening to this quiet being, for motivating me to become a better version of myself. And as if I don’t see y’all enough, I can’t wait for us to meet up with no stress!! *coughs bong we’re still waiting for your treat coughs* Finally, thank you Singsoc for all your support, for giving me the opportunity to serve you all. It has been one heck of a ride but I loved every moment of it. Your reluctant-to-let-go Sports Officer, Carys 10. Words from the Liaison Officer, Yu Jie Thank you *ICSS* for giving me this opportunity to serve you in the past year. Thanks for supporting the 35th and we hope you’ve enjoyed the past year as much as we did planning and executing the events and initiatives. A special shout-out to *Ivan* and *Nat* for helping and guiding me whenever I needed help and also helping to make things happen in the background. Thanks everyone for enduring all my LOLs (Liaison Officer Lingos) and bad puns and all my spams on your social media feeds (even if you ignore them). Thanks for giving me the chance to be your Uncle Sotong, Karanguni Man, LObang King and social media influencer wannabe (#icsingsoc). It was a tough but fruitful learning journey and all your feedback and encouragement have made this experience enriching yet humbling. It was a bittersweet moment to look back at all the beautiful photos that our talented *Photokakis* have taken throughout the year, and to see all the happy, sad, frustrating and exciting memories captured. It was you guys who gave me this *home away from home*. :’) To the *Photokakis* and all the *photographers* and *videographers*, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for volunteering your time to capture the memories of our members with your lenses throughout the entire year. Thanks for *framing* and *shooting* our members while dealing with all the *crop* during post-processing while not losing your *focus*. Often, your efforts are underappreciated, unnoticed and definitely *underexposed* but you guys did not complain and continue to work hard to bring smiles to our members after each event. You were also not able to enjoy our events fully with the photography/videography responsibilities. A really big thank you for all these sacrifices and please continue to believe that when people ask, “Erm, can help take photo for us?” they actually mean, “I really appreciate your photography skills, please take a photo for us. :)” To *Celine*, thanks for taking up this challenge as the next LO! It is going to be a tough journey ahead, to juggle the different job scopes of the LO while focusing on the publishing of the next Retrospect. But I completely believe that you have what it takes to complete this challenge well, bringing your own witty and creative twist to the things that you do. Please know that you are not in this alone and we are here to help you out. Believe in yourself and believe in your Exco and eventual Retrospect team. Looking forward to a fun year ahead with Celine making her Mark as the new LO! To the *35th*, thanks for being an *EXceptional* and *COmpetent* bunch, all of you have made this journey *EXtraordinary* and *COmplete*! Too hungry to write anything more, but you guys get my feelings hor….still waiting for our *EXpensive* meal from our very *COmpassionate* Bong. Your ORD-*LO* (gonna kenna reservist to do Retrospect) Liaison Officer, Yu Jie P.S. I hear your mega sigh of relief…YAY no more Lim Yu Jie posted in your Facebook group…nope it’s not over…“Celine Mark has just posted on Imperial College Singapore Society” :P 11. Words from the Major Event Officer, Rasika Time passed by very strangely this year – it felt like I’d spent an eternity preparing for Major Event and then, in the blink of an eye, both the show and the 35th ExCo’s term were over. I am so grateful for the opportunity that SingSoc gave me to help pay back for everything it has given me. More importantly, I want to take a moment to thank everyone whose hard work, dedication and support was vital to getting this year’s show on the road. *To the 35th* You guys were the best team and I am so glad to have worked with you all this year. I was so inexperienced going into this, and your guidance has been invaluable to me. We’ve had to deal with a lot of things this year, not all of which we could foresee, but we made it through just fine and now we’re free! I think I might actually really miss all our long meetings (or maybe just the snacks HAHAHA), so here’s to all the stressful and all the fun times that we had xx *To my Creative Team * I’ve already told you guys how grateful I am for all your hard work this year, but I might never say it enough. We really took on an ambitious task with TIWY, but despite so many things happening that we couldn’t control, we put up a show to be proud of! It’s been a phenomenal run with you guys and I hope you guys enjoyed it (and don’t hate ME after all the headaches it’s caused you this year). P.S. Nat – ME 2019 yeah? *To the ME team * YOU GUYS ROCKED IT!!! We would never have been able to put up such a wonderful show if so many of you hadn’t dedicated your time to rehearsals these past few months. I hope you all cherish the beautiful memories, friendships and photos that this journey has given you, and I hope to see you guys again on stage or in the audience at ME 2019! *To Jasper* You were right about this job – it takes a lot out of you but at the same time it’s the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. Thank you for always being there for me when I was pestering you with questions, your advice and encouragement has meant so much. And cheers for actually coming back to be a part of ME 2018, that was incredible! Well, that’s all from me then. All the best to the 36th, I wish you a great year ahead and I can’t wait to see what you have in store for ICSS and ME!

SIA Executives Programme Recruitment <#m_3325318760989073059_2> 3. Elections and Post-Annual General Meeting <#m_3325318760989073059_3> 1. Post-Major Event 2018 ICSS was proud to stage *Major Event 2018: The Infinite Wallace Young* on the 24 February 2018 at the Imperial College Great Hall. A *tribute to Major Event over the years* as ICSS celebrates its 35th anniversary, this year’s production was a fourth-wall-breaking comedy that explored the theme of finding yourself and writing your own story. The plot revolved around average Singaporean Wallace Young’s rebellion against a cruel Narrator, who forced him into several different stories set in the Singaporean multiverse. The setting of each story fell into a different point in Singapore’s history and gave the audience members a chance to explore our heritage and see what Singapore was, is and could be. Major Event delivered once again this year, with a script, live music, complex dances and breath-taking props and sets that were all crafted by our own members. Though our Major Event journey may have ended with our curtain call, it’s heartening to know that the beautiful memories we all made will continue to live on.
