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 for Thought*! We hope that our small effort has helped relieve some of the 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! Your not-so-masterchef-after-all Events Officers, Yuan Rong and Yan Tong 3. Retrospect 2016 Hi everyone! Thank you for all your support for* Retrospect 2016*, and I am really happy to say that we have successfully released the book during our *Singsoc Farewell Party* on *20 May 2016*! For those who already have their copies, do enjoy the read through memory lane, while those who have yet to get their copies (either because you have not collected your pre-ordered copy or want to buy a copy), do drop me (*Ivan Tee*) a message on Facebook <http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id…> or email retrospect(a)ic-singsoc.net, and I will make arrangements with you on how you can get your hands on your copy!

Karanguni 2016 Seniors! Are you tired of throwing away perfectly usable items that were painstakingly saved up for at the expense of Oriental Canteen/Eastern Star meals? Fret not! *Karanguni 2016* is a revamped initiative that will serve as a platform to connect sellers with potential buyers of used items within the ICSS community. *How to sell? - it's easy as 1, 2, 3* *1. *A closed facebook group will be set up HERE <http://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id…> (and linked to the ICSS facebook page) which interested sellers and buyers can request to join. *2.* Once in, members will find photo albums of the following categories: - Stationary - Books - Kitchen ware - Electrical appliances (rice cookers go here) - Electronics - Furniture - Others If a seller wishes to put items up for sale, he/she need only post a photo in the correct album and use the following template in the captions: " List of items: 1.[item] – [price] – [condition 0-10/10] – [position in photo]* 2.[item] – [price] – [condition 0-10/10] – [position in photo] 3.[item] – [price] – [condition 0-10/10] – [position in photo] Detailed description: 1.detail 2.detail 3.detail Contacts: Name – (will be facebook tagged when posted) Phone number (optional) – Email – OR "contact via Facebook message" " *3. *If you wish to revise your pricing or have sold an item, simply comment in your photo to update potential buyers! *How to buy?* Simply scroll through the photo album you're interested in and Facebook message the seller to link up for negotiations! Otherwise, contact the seller via the phone number or email address left in the photo caption. *Note*: - *It is recommended that sellers put multiple items into each photo so as not to clog up the photo albums. We seek your understanding and co-operation if the group's moderator requests for your photos to be condensed. - ICSS will not be liable for any damages or fraudulent transactions that might occur as a result of using the Karanguni Facebook group. The ExCo will employ due diligence in ensuring all members within the closed group are legitimate ICSS members and items posted are legitimate but shall be absolved from responsibility over the transactions between members. We hope that this initiative will help to pull ICSS closer together and allow seniors to pass on their used items to juniors who might not want to pay full retail price for certain necessities. No more byebye items, only buybuy items(: Also, if you wish to donate any of your old items such as cutlery and stationery to the incoming 2016 freshers, do drop us an email at admin(a)ic-singsoc.net for more information!
