1. Welcome Week
Hi freshers,
I trust that you are excited for your first few weeks in London! There is a
series of events lined up for you by ICSS in the coming weeks to help you
get settled in, and here are just some of them that you can look forward to:
1. *Hall Walkabout (30 September 2017, 1300 - 1600)*
For our undergraduates staying in halls, you can look forward to a short
orientation tour around the neighbourhood and vicinity of your hall
accommodations on your first day in Halls, conducted by seniors who had
once lived in the same area as you! As this will also be the first day you
will be spending in Halls, you will also be brought to the nearest
supermarket for you to grab your daily necessities (e.g. kitchenware and
bedding) during this walkabout. Your seniors will also be sharing some tips
and tricks that will help you settle in more comfortably to life in London!
This will also be the perfect chance for you to get to know the other
Singaporeans who are also staying in the same hall as you so that you'll
know which kitchens to crash when you smell Bak Kut Teh down the hallways!
Details are as follows:
*Date: 30 September 2017 (Move-in day) Time: 1300 - 1600*
So freshers, if you haven't already signed up, click *HERE*
<http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id…>
to
register your attendance with us so we know who to expect on the day
itself; we don't want to leave without you! *Deadline for registration is
29 September 2017*.
*2. Freshers' Fair (3 October 2017, 1100 - 1600)*
Organised by the Imperial College Union, the Freshers' Fair is the
equivalent of a "CCA Showcase" of Imperial's vibrant community and diverse
interests. Have a nice walk around the campus picking up freebies (read:
reusable grocery bags, post-it pads, pens and possibly even bubble tea),
and don't forget to stop by our own Imperial booth! You might just walk
home with some freebies from us as well! You can also find out more about
other Imperial-wide events during your welcome week *HERE
<http://union.us9.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&i…>*
for
undergraduates or *HERE
<http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id…>*
for
postgraduates.
*3. OG Walkabout*
Missing your OGmates already? To kick off your adventure in the UK, we will
be going on an OG Walkabout! OG Walkabout is a day when your OG travels
together for a day-trip to a location of your own choice, and you will be
spending some quality time together exploring the UK! We have set aside the
first weekend (*7 or 8 October 2017*) for your OG Walkabout, but if you
prefer to have it on another day when more people can make it, go ahead!
*4. Hyde Park Picnic*
And... if you're tired of the rush and confusion of your first weeks in
London (ikr, school again, seriously...?), or if you wanna fight the
Freshers Flu with some fresh air and exercise, come join us at Hyde Park
Picnic, right at the doorstep of Imperial! Enjoy the rare London sunshine,
food, games, and seize the opportunity to chill out and relax with familiar
faces and newfound friends! We've set aside the second weekend (*14 or 15
October 2017*) for the picnic, and we'll let you know the confirmed date
soon!
An exciting time awaits you in your first few weeks in Imperial, so I hope
you're geared up and ready for your next adventure. Happy packing, and see
you in London!
Your already-in-London President,
Bong
2. Ski Trip 2017
Hey everyone!!!
I hope all of you are coping well with the summer heat. If you are already
missing winter, here’s something freezingly exciting to look forward to
this coming winter holiday! The annual ICSS ski trip details are now out,
and specially arranged to ensure you have a splendid winter holiday!
This year, ICSS will be heading to the slopes of Tignes for a week of fun,
snow and excitement! The package includes return transport via coach, daily
buffet-style meals, UCPA accommodation and much more!

*Date: 16 – 23 December 2017 (Saturday – Saturday) (Coach to depart ICL on

Don’t worry if it’s your first time skiing or snowboarding, because the
huge variety of slopes (access to both Tignes and Val d’lsere included; how
worth is that!) and instruction lessons for all skill levels will
definitely prepare you well to brave the slopes and get some cool videos of
yourself.
Feeling excited about the trip already? You can immediately *sign up* *HERE

1. ICAAS 40th Anniversary Gala Dinner
The Imperial College Alumni Association of Singapore (ICAAS)
celebrated its *40th
Anniversary* on 4 September 2017 with a Gala Dinner at the Fullerton Hotel.
40 of our current students attended the dinner.
With more than 300 alumni and guests attending the 40th anniversary
celebrations, ICAAS had the honour of hosting Deputy Prime Minister and
Coordinating Minister for National Security Teo Chee Hean, who is also
ICAAS Patron, as the Guest-of-Honour of the event. During the dinner, DPM
Teo also engaged the audience with a dialogue on the topic of “Science and
Innovation as our next engine of economic growth”.
ICAAS also played host to the leadership from regional Imperial College
alumni associations from Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Beijing and
Shenzhen. Professor Alice Gast, President of Imperial College London, was
also present for the special night.
We would like to *thank ICAAS for giving our talented students the
opportunity and privilege to perform* at this special occasion. Two songs – *“I
Wanna Be Someone”* & *“You’ll Be Mine”* – originally composed for our
recent annual production, Major Event 2017: GETAI, were performed. You can

4. Message from the President
Hi everyone!!!
Our summer events calendar has finally come to a close with last week's
UKBound at Stewords Riverboat! It has been yet another eventful summer,
kicking off with our Pre-Departure Talk (PDT), followed by Sojourn, Warwick
Summer Games (WSG) and finally UKBound. I hope that everyone has enjoyed
the summer events, and that they have got you looking forward to more
exciting times in London!
On behalf of the 35th Executive Committee, I would like to sincerely* thank
all the enthusiastic participants* of our summer events! First impressions
count, and certainly the many seniors who turned up for our PDT showcased
the impressive size and strength of our Singaporean community in Imperial
to our incoming freshers and their parents. We then went on to give a big,
warm Sojourn welcome to our freshers, inducting them into our family in a
home away from home. Of course, all this was made possible because of the
time and effort that the OGHs and OGLs put in, perhaps at the expense of
their personal time with friends and family. We thank you for your
sacrifices and contributions, for without you Sojourn would not have been
the success that it was. And to our newly-inducted freshers, thank you for
your enthusiasm and energy throughout our events, and a big welcome into
our Imperial family!
With our hearts full from Sojourn, we went on to put up a great fight at
WSG! I'm sure that all our participants had a great time out on the fields
and courts with your friends, and win or lose, we brought home an
experience and a slightly more fitspo body. Finally, to end things off with
a bang, we had UKBound, the ultimate party and finale to our events in
Singapore! Revamped and refreshed, this year's UKBound brought students
from universities all over the UK together for a night of food, fun and
fantastic performances. The support we received from the Imperial community
for this event was tremendous, and for that you have our utmost gratitude!
I guess what I want to say is that for all of this summer's
(mis)adventures, one thing is definitely for sure - you guys have been
a *tremendous
source of support*. Fresher or senior, you have made summer such an
exciting and fulfilling one. Your support tells us that you believe in the
things we do, and more importantly, it inspires us to continue doing our
best for you and the larger ICSS family.
We sincerely hope that you have thoroughly enjoyed yourself over the course
of summer, and rest assured that the 35th EXCO will push on to bring you
more meaningful events throughout the rest of our term. We also hope to
have your continued support, for it is only when we work together that we
can be one big happy family.
Enjoy the rest of summer, eat more Singaporean food and I look forward to
seeing everyone back in London!

<3ong

yourself.

5. Major Event Seniors' Sign-ups
Hi everyone!
Summer’s just begun and I’m sure everyone’s having a wonderful time. Well,
here’s something to get you even more excited for the end of the holidays –
the preparations for our next Major Event have begun! First off, I’d like
to thank everyone who submitted such great script ideas for the upcoming
show. It’s been a tough decision to make and it was great to see so much
enthusiasm and creativity from the get-go :)
Next up, I’m super excited to be able to announce the members who have
joined the Creative Team so far to help us put this show on the road. We
have *Shiyao Ke* as our music director, *Joshua Chan* and *Trina Ng* as our
chorale directors, *MiQi Lim* and *Yong Shen Tan* as our dance directors
and *Eugene Kwa* as our scriptwriter for this year’s play, The Infinite
Wallace Young! Here’s an introduction to it in Eugene's own words:
“*A musical comedy about a musical comedy; where humour is served meta and
the fourth wall is taken as seriously as cancer: it must be destroyed.*
*Filled with bizarre twists and absurd scenarios, THE INFINITE WALLACE
YOUNG* *is either an admirable post-modernistic exploration of reality and
truth – or just lazy writing. You decide. (Or do you?)*”
Looking forward to seeing how things will play out? Get a chance to see the
story unfold first-hand by signing up to take part in Major Event!
*Registration
is now open* and you can *fill up the form* *HERE
<http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id…>*

Even if you’ve already expressed interest in signing up verbally, please do
fill up the form for our record and contact purposes. If you have any
questions at all, feel free to talk to me or anyone on the creative team,
or alternatively drop me an email at majorevent(a)ic-singsoc.net
We can’t wait to welcome you back to our Major Event family!!!

To *all seniors, *thank you for making time to attend the event, for warmly
welcoming our freshers into the ICSS family and for sharing your bits of

special thank you to *all academic reps *for assisting us in so many ways
before, during and now, after the event!
We would also like to specially thank our event sponsors: *Furama

I hope all of you are coping well with the summer heat. If you are already

this coming winter holiday! The annual ICSS ski trip details are now out,
and specially arranged to ensure you have a splendid winter holiday!
This year, ICSS will be heading to the slopes of Tignes for a week of fun,
snow and excitement! The package includes return transport via coach, daily

Don’t worry if it’s your first time skiing or snowboarding, because the
huge variety of slopes (access to both Tignes and Val d’lsere included; how
worth is that!) and instruction lessons for all skill levels will

yourself.

5. Major Event Seniors' Sign-ups
Hi everyone!
Summer’s just begun and I’m sure everyone’s having a wonderful time. Well,
here’s something to get you even more excited for the end of the holidays –
the preparations for our next Major Event have begun! First off, I’d like
to thank everyone who submitted such great script ideas for the upcoming
show. It’s been a tough decision to make and it was great to see so much
enthusiasm and creativity from the get-go :)
Next up, I’m super excited to be able to announce the members who have
joined the Creative Team so far to help us put this show on the road. We
have *Shiyao Ke* as our music director, *Joshua Chan* and *Trina Ng* as our
chorale directors, *MiQi Lim* and *Yong Shen Tan* as our dance directors
and *Eugene Kwa* as our scriptwriter for this year’s play, The Infinite
Wallace Young! Here’s an introduction to it in Eugene's own words:
“*A musical comedy about a musical comedy; where humour is served meta and
the fourth wall is taken as seriously as cancer: it must be destroyed.*
*Filled with bizarre twists and absurd scenarios, THE INFINITE WALLACE
YOUNG* *is either an admirable post-modernistic exploration of reality and
truth – or just lazy writing. You decide. (Or do you?)*”
Looking forward to seeing how things will play out? Get a chance to see the
story unfold first-hand by signing up to take part in Major Event!
*Registration
is now open* and you can *fill up the form* *HERE
<http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id…>*
.
Even if you’ve already expressed interest in signing up verbally, please do
fill up the form for our record and contact purposes. If you have any
questions at all, feel free to talk to me or anyone on the creative team,
or alternatively drop me an email at majorevent(a)ic-singsoc.net
We can’t wait to welcome you back to our Major Event family!!!
Your super-excited-for-next-Feb-already MEO,
Rasika

Hi Everyone!
During this period, most of you may be thinking of moving your belongings
from your halls to your new houses or placing your belongings in summer
storage.
To make it easier and cheaper for you, ICSS is collaborating with the
following companies so that ICSS members can get a better discounted price
for these services:
*1) Removal/Moving Services (Quick Man and Van Removal Services)*
Exclusively for ICSS members, by using the link *HERE
<http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id…>*
and
keying in your Imperial CID number, there will be *up to a 15% discount*
for the moving services provided. The *discounted prices range from £35 -
£70 for a 2-hour period* depending on the size of the vans and services you
require. You may consider sharing a van with others in your halls to share
the costs. (Discounts will apply to most drivers but not all. This will be
reflected in the costs breakdown.)
*2) Summer Storage Services (Student Storage Box)*
If you are considering summer storage, ICSS has teamed up with
StudentStorageBox. Simply click on the link *HERE*

the services they provide. If you have *any queries* regarding these
services, feel free to *message me at +44 7541019121 <+44%207541%20019121>*

It was great to see over 130 members from all batches come together
for our *annual
SingSoc Farewell Party* on 26 May! We hope that everyone had an awesome
night, and enjoyed the food, games, fun, laughter and maybe some tears?
For our *friends on exchange and *our *graduating seniors*, we hope that
you guys had a great time reminiscing and looking back at the years spent
in Imperial and with this SingSoc family. We would like to *thank all of
you once again for all the support you have given to us juniors*. Thank you
for making us feel at home when we entered as freshers.
To our graduating seniors, we will definitely miss all of u... *All the
best in your future endeavours* and we hope you’ll always *remember ICSS as
your home away from home! *Click *HERE

I’m only 6747 miles away from you,
so don’t forget me,
your home away from home
will be right here for you.
Your sentimental Events Officers,
Hua Chong and Huang Guan

exciting journey ahead!

postgraduate or exchange) at Imperial this fall*, please help to spread
