This year, the ski trip was held at La Plagne 1800 in France. After braving the 20 hour bus journey to the resort, participants managed to have 6 days of skiing in the clear skies whilst surrounded by the Alps. Although the snow conditions were a little icy, I do hope that everyone who attended the trip managed to enjoy themselves thoroughly - whether through getting to know new people from other schools, or dancing your heart out during the nightly dance sessions, or helping yourself to the free flow of ice cream. Also, Christmas was celebrated in the resort by a Christmas dinner prepared by UCPA. The photos from the photobooth will be up on the ICSS page soon, so do look out for that! I would like to thank each and every participant for making this an unforgettable trip, and would especially like to thank those that helped me carry bags, facilitate administration etc. Couldn't have done it without you guys! I hope the delay by the bus did not dampen your spirits and that you'll be back for more next year! Regards, Leon ------------------------------ 4.

Updates Hi everyone! The weather hasn't been any warmer these few days! Hope everyone's coping well with the cold, especially the Freshers who may not have experience this weather ever! Do put on more layers when you go out and turn up the heater indoors to keep yourself all warm and comfy :) So, this will be the last Kaya & Toast for the year 2014! It has been a fantastic year since the new term began in early October, and I'm sure to miss writing Kaya & Toast. ICSS has been hard at work organising various events and many activities to bond Singaporeans since then. Let's recall what we've had so far! On the very first day of term, 4 October, we've had an *Airport Pick-up Service* catered to all our members who touched down in London that day. On the same day, we've had our very own *Hall Walkabout* where some seniors gladly volunteered to bring the Freshers around their Halls, showing them to some nearby amenities, the way to college, as well as some tips and tricks living in London! Many seniors were more than happy to share their experiences with the Freshers as I witnessed some of us ranting on about our lives as a fresher more than the freshers asking questions! A few who have ordered duvets with us also came to a really convenient location near college to collect them during Hall Walkabout. But one walkabout just isn’t enough and so on the next Saturday, we’ve had an *Orientation Group Walkabout*. *Mario* went touristy around London Bridge and Borough Market while ambitious *Pink Panther* had an awesome feat covering Central London, the Olympic Stadium and even Westfield Stratford City at Zone 3 in a day! Non-mainstream *Blue’s Clues* and *Shaggy* immersed in the alternative culture of Camden Town before splitting ways to Regent’s Park and Covent Gardens later in the day. Both *Bond* and *Scooby* paid a visit to the Big Ben and Trafalgar Square before heading to St James Park and Eastside Bar respectively. A whole day out exploring London is exciting but that is just not all of the fun. So, on 18 October, we’ve held our annual *Hyde Park Picnic* at Hyde Park (duh)! It was indeed a fun-filled day of sports and some friendly eating competition (recall carrots, Coke and peanut butter). It served as a platform for everyone who participated in Sojourn to catch up with one another too. With over 100 members turning up, the event concluded our Freshers’ Package. However, that was certainly not the end. Our very first trip out of London happened on 22 October when a few lucky souls got to *Thorpe Park* on a weekday! Just two days later, President Tony Tan visited Imperial College as part of his *state visit*, and some had the rare opportunity to shake his hand and speak with him. Many of us even appeared on TV back home too. It was indeed a day which Singaporeans may rejoice in and celebrate the strong ties between the United Kingdom and Singapore. *Major** Event* Mix & Mingle happened on 27 October where all the teams gathered for the first time and many team members bonded over some food and chit-chat. Our directors had also put up an entertaining show to introduce the plot to all. On 1 November, many of us took a long trip up to Nottingham to represent Imperial in the *Nottingham Winter Games* and we took home 1st Runner-up in one category and Champions in four categories! Our *Ordinary General Meeting* was held on 12 November where lots of important information was shared with the members over a small but precious tub of Ben & Jerry’s. Many of us also had a* Hall Cookout* prior to OGM and a representative from each hall eventually whipped up their best dishes on the same day and competed in the *Imperial Iron Chef*. It was indeed quite a feast for the first few fortunate members who turned up early for OGM! Forty fastest-fingers also managed to grab tickets to the *Book of Mormon* musical in less than a minute after sign-ups open, and enjoyed the hilarious show on 17 November in each other's company. Most recently, a group of us popped up in *Birmingham* and had an awesome time sipping hot cider and promenading through the Christmas Market (until it became overcrowded that we had to elbow our way out). Autumn Term was indeed packed with something going on almost every week, notwithstanding our various Major Event teams slogging away every week painting our hands dry, tearing our vocal chords, strumming till our fingers get sore, or regurgitating lines after lines and braving the weather for the film. Everyone does deserve a pat on their back for all the effort and time invested in Major Event, and of course, a break from it! Near the end of term, some of us can look forward to our annual *Ski Trip*, skiing amongst the stolid snow mountains of France, and perhaps gawk at Mont Blanc from afar. Spring Term will even be more exciting than Autumn with a* Chinese New Year dinner* and more musicals to look forward to! We will be back with a blast, surely. I hope you’ve enjoyed Kaya & Toast all the while! Here’s wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (way in advance)! See y’all next year and take care! :) Your awesome secretary, Weihao Lim ------------------------------ Contents 1.

Following its rich tradition, Ingersoll continues to produce exquisite and affordable automatic timepieces, which are sold in over 40 countries. *Vivienne Westwood * Vivienne Westwood, the brand and designer, are British through and through. With a design record over forty years, Westwood constantly references historical British fashion and culture as inspiration for her designs and ideas.

President's Note Hi everyone :) ICSS has finally concluded all of our events we have in our Summer Calendar! *cues applause* This Summer has indeed been a fruitful one. Even before we came back to Singapore, the 32nd Exco had already begun our preparation for the Summer events. But we couldn't have started anything without the first publication of the Sotong Guide by Jing Yi, the Liaisons Officer. This wonderful guide continues to serve its purpose of educating Freshers (including those from other London Universities apparently!) about what they should take note of before and after arriving in London! We started off with a Pre-Departure Talk which saw more than 80 freshers and their family who were present. And within the next month, we had our annual orientation, Sojourn 2014 - Mystery. I am glad and heartened to see many of the OGLs and OGlings still meeting up for OG outings! I would like to take this opportunity to send my thanks to Weihao, my Secretary, and Lincoln, my Events Officer who has helped to spearhead the planning and execution of PDT as well as Sojourn respectively. I would also like to thank the OGHs as well as Team Sojourn for their dedicated efforts in making the Freshers' orientation experience awesome. Shortly after the conclusion of Sojourn, the many sports interest groups started their training for the exciting Warwick Summer Games co-ordinated by my Sports Officer, Yu Quan and the many different Sports Representatives. Regardless of our results and scores, I would like to commend every participant for their dedication to the sport and for maintaining a high level of sportsmanship throughout. And we finally reached the final event on our Summer calendar, UKBound 2014-Impulse. This is the 16th year ICSS has been running this keynote event that is uniquely ICSS. Many many thanks to Sameer, my Events Officer who has organised this event and pulled the Exco together for the execution for this event. The event saw the participation of more than 15 universities which fulfilled its purpose, to draw as many UK schools as possible for 1 combined event before we all leave for our studies. We will aim to include more schools in future. Thank you to everyone who turned up for the event! This Summer has been hectic for the Exco, but ultimately our hopes remains that the members start to see ICSS as a Family, to build a home away from home when we are in London. Like all relationships, it takes time and effort to build. Sometimes it takes a couple of drops of tears and a few heartbreaks. But these will only serve to strengthen the bonds between us, to learn to accept each other for who we truly are. Hence, Family. Read on for more updates regarding what's in store for you guys in the months ahead! :) In the mean time, I hope that, for both Seniors and Freshers alike, you guys have enjoyed your summer and have a safe flight back to London. See you guys really soon! :) -Clive Aw ------------------------------ 2.

Due to the unfortunate timing of our school term dates, the resorts that are able to accommodate a big group such as us are limited.

La Plagne offers a variety of entertainment options every night and is surrounded by slopes that are suitable for beginners and steeper ones for those looking for a challenge.
