Your (new) faithful secretary, Weihao ------------------------------ Contents 1. President's Address<#144f3a1a60b1c718_144f0c12921f6d30_144f0b60884ec6d3_item1> 2.

President's Address Dearest Friends, This is the 1st issue of Kaya and Toast, sent out by the newly minted 32nd Executive Committee. Reading Kaya and Toast has been my pleasure every single week. It is always filled with plans of exciting trips, musical discounts and many job opportunities that university students, like me, would love to see. But more than that, Kaya and Toast is one of the means for us to be informed of the many interesting and exciting events that have been planned out and to sign up for them! This weekly newsletter serves as an avenue for us to not only be aware of what Imperial College Singapore Society is up to, but also to keeps us up to date with the activities of the SingSocs of other universities in the UK. Imperial SingSoc is one of the largest and most active SingSocs around with at least 3 events lined up for members every month. It gives my team and I great honor to have your trust in running the Society. As the newly elected Committee, we pledge our time and hearts to ensure that ICSS continues to be the Home away from Home for all her members. It will be an exhilarating journey and we invite you to join us in this wonderful adventure to create an environment that reminds all of us that 'Hey! Home is not that far after all!' A Home cannot be complete without the people in it. Without the people, no extravagant events can seek to be one that is memorable. My team and I are confident of bringing an exciting year ahead in 2014-2015, filled with fun, joy and laughter. I would like to sincerely thank each and every one of you who have placed your trust in the 9 of us to serve the Society in this capacity. Our efforts are limited if we work alone. However, with a spirit of togetherness and unity, the 32nd Executive Committee looks forward to bring all of us aboard on this ICSS odyssey. We keep the vision of an inclusive society in mind and will continue to present a SingSoc that is always there for her members. Additionally, I represent everyone in saying a big THANK YOU to the 31st Executive Committee for what they have done, without which, I would most definitely not be here typing this. Have a very merry Easter holidays! In your service always, Aw Jiong Le, Clive President 32nd Executive Committee ICSS ------------------------------ 2. Introducing the 32nd Exco! *President - Clive Aw* Clive is an extremely happy-go-lucky person. Nothing seems to be able to bring him down. If he is ever sad, a lame joke about anything under the Sun is able put a smile back on his face. As a Physics undergraduate, Clive always steer any conversation towards Quantum Mechanics and the likes. However, do not mistake that for his capabilities in that subject. But he does have an interest in reading books related to Physics in general. Talking about books, Clive is an avid book collecter. He fancies going on online websites and buying books as well as going to the Central Library to borrow books. Sadly, reading makes him tired and sleep is usually (ALWAYS!!) the easier option. In his free time, Clive loves going to the big outdoors with his DSLR, snapping photos of nature and his friends. That being said, he loves travelling as well. Spending time in the meadows with the cows and deers grazing is his escape from the busy streets of London. Weekend brunches are always the motivation for Clive to get up on Saturday mornings at 9am. A good English breakfast and a pot of Earl Grey is an excellent start to even more sleep. Coming to London is one of Clive's biggest dream because of his passion for theatrical performances. Being surrounded with so award winning musicals and plays, he is extremely happy that SingSoc organises so many of these trips to catch these awesome plays at really affordable prices!! Clive is a very simple person, not someone who has a lot of quotable quotes nor does he think that he is a great leader like Obama. He believes strongly in sincerity and being genuine. Smile at anyone and believe that it brightens their day. That is Clive's daily aim: To put a smile on the faces of people that he meets. As the President of Singsoc, Clive envisions the Society to be a place that provides a homely and inclusive environment to everyone that is willing to come. He sincerely hopes to create a good and strong community for the members and that these friendships that are forged will last beyond the course of study here in London. *Vice-President - Leon Ooi* In his free time, Leon can be found playing the guitar. Inspired by players like Andy Mckee and Sungha Jung. He often experiments with the fingerstyle method of playing the guitar, hoping that he will be able to play as well as them one day. Besides making music, Leon enjoys physical activities such as squash and snowboarding. He enjoys the feeling of freedom when rushing down the slopes and continously strives to improve himself over each opportunity to snowboard. Warm and friendly, feel free to approach Leon whenever you need a listening ear and he would be happy to help you in any way he can. He hopes to serve the society with to the best of his abilty and create a great year ahead! *Secretary - Lim Wei Hao* Wei Hao is a nature-loving, environmentally conscious, friendly Geography enthusiast who is fascinated by sometimes peculiar objects such as globes, maps, National Geographic magazines and pretty much everything related to Mother Nature and Earth. As much as a tree hugger he can be, nothing can beat his thirst for knowledge and extreme curiosity in the complex world of Physics. At times, concepts in Quantum Physics are so deep and counter-intuitive, he wonders if it is really Science and facts, or just one whole cock and bull story. When there's nothing much to do, he likes to keep himself happy and spends his free time watching movies and TV series (Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, The Walking Dead, just to name a few), reading, playing squash, swimming and cycling, which he absolutely loves and would love to go on cycling trips with anyone! He particularly enjoys outdoor trips and exploring new and interesting places, so ask him along! *hints hints* *Treasurer - Maung Thet* Maung Thet can be a hard nut to crack - initially serious and seemingly anti-social, he can evolve into a funny and loyal friend once you get to know him. In his free time, you may find him wandering around and taking selfies at famous landmarks or wandering around on the Internet to look for novel interesting gadgets to make his life easier. In his life, Maung Thet always welcomes a good challenge, be it academically, taking up responsibilities or pursuing his interests in running and photography. Sometimes he has trouble trying to express himself and this is probably the reason why he loves photography so much, and his drive to constantly improve his photography skills to a higher level. So he feels happy when he manages to capture moments in the best way he knows. Lastly, Maung Thet cares greatly about the people around him, and so look out for and support the new initiatives coming your way from the 32nd! * Events Officer (Major Event) - Choo Jia Hui* Beware if you are holding a camera, because Jia Hui will definitely find her way to photo-bomb your photo! With a bubbly character, it is almost impossible to spot Jia Hui without a smile. She loves preparing surprises and handmade gifts for her family and friends as she truly believes in spreading the fun and happiness. Despite having said that, she is also brave to speak her mind. But don't be offended by her because she doesn't mean any harm! Jia Hui enjoys singing in the shower, running, and shopping for clothes. Yet what she truly enjoys most, is talking to people. Given her chatty personality, you can hardly find a quiet moment in her life. You can often find her having heart-to-heart conversations with anyone she knows, and of course herself sharing all her secrets (makes one wonders if they're still secrets). So do look for your friendly major event officer if you need someone to talk to, she's most suited for this, really (and that's also why she's called Mama Choo). *Events Officer 1 - Lincoln Ang* Lincoln is neither a diehard fan of Linkin Park nor an item to be bought in a computer game. A mild mannered individual driven primarily by passion and a (he hopes) strong sense of right and wrong, he is intensely proud of his ability to get high on life. However, don't count on him to make funny jokes - he still hasn't gotten better at them! Travelling is a bittersweet thing for Lincoln. While he would like nothing better than to explore the wonders of the world, lab reports and tutorials often confine him within the walls of his room during the weekends. Music is Lincoln's one great love and in his opinion the solution to all problems. Don't be surprised when you hear him burst into song - this happens when a song wraps itself around his head, sometimes for days at a time. During rare moments of freedom, Lincoln can be found with his friends, playing badminton, singing, jamming or just plain chilling. He derives the greatest pleasure in organizing events and seeing his friends enjoy themselves. Lincoln is eager to hear you out and is definitely open to all manner of suggestions and ideas you have - give it a go! *Events Officer 2 - Kanneganti Sameer* Kanneganti 'Sam' Sameer is one part of your friendly event officer duo. Akin to Batman, He pledges to do his part in defeating the forces of the evil Red Tape and providing exciting adventures to the people of ICSS. Jokes aside, Sam is actually a (relatively) serious person when it comes to work. He emphasises on efficiency and process streamlining and tries his best to think of novel solutions to organisational issues. In his free time, he loves to just... hangout with friends and take a chill pill. While his hunger for adventure has definitely taken a bump for the time being, he hopes to be back out there, climbing peaks and finding himself in due time. If you love trance, house or folk music, send him a message and you can introduce him to your favourite DJ or artiste. If ever in doubt or with a suggestion or two, feel free to ask Sam out for a cuppa or drop by his pad (He loves company!). If there is one thing he's learnt, it's to always keep an open mind. *Sports Officer - Poh Yu Quan* With chalk in his hands and his climbing shoes on, Yu Quan is always ready for some action. This avid rock climber loves exploring the outdoors and scaling new heights. He loves embracing new experiences and is always ready to try his hands at something fresh. He believes the world is a enormous playground and it is free to those who wish to pursue it. When he isn't monkeying around, he can be seen dwelling in the disciplined art of taekwondo (technically it is a sport not a martial art). Some wonder why he loves getting kicked all the time, but he thinks it's real good fun. Yu Quan is an active and determined individual and he will definitely make sure you're always keeping fit and active through the various sporting groups. Its a guarantee that this sports fanatic will keep you busy and in shape for your time here at Imperial. *Liaisons Officer - Chan Jing Yi* Jing Yi is increasingly known as "Carol", although she still forgets to respond to that name sometimes. Don't be fooled by her apparently 'serious' face because she is an absolutely crazy girl inside! She loves to sing, especially on empty streets while walking back to hall from school at night, because she gets to imagine herself as a skilled a cappella singer. (Her real singing skills are a far cry from that though.) Jing Yi is a Biomedical Engineer-to-be and absolutely proud of it. In addition, she strongly believes biomedical engineers are full-fledged engineers who lead rigorous engineer lives as well. When given the luxury of free time, she likes to make single-serving desserts in her coveted Sainsbury's 2-pound ramekins. (Coffee cake-in-a-cup with a dash of cinnamon, anyone?) For some unknown reason, Jing Yi is always the last person to hear the latest gossip. This year, however, she is going to change that for her role of Liaison Officer to get hold of the best lobang in town! Feel free to let her know of any suggestions, comments and feedback you may have about anything related to Singsoc, and she'll do her best to make your wishes come true. ------------------------------ 3.

Advertisements *1) UCLSS Production: Fear of Writing* Every year, University College London Singapore Society (UCLSS) presents an exciting new take on some of our favourite local works.

The Theatre is a short 5 minute walk from Euston Station and the entrance is located near the back of UCL Wates House next to Campbell House (West). ABOUT FEAR OF WRITING A playwright struggles with writer's block, a director and producer bemoan their failure to get a government licence to stage their play, a mother writes to her daughter overseas and everyday Singaporeans are featured in a series of seemingly innocent interviews. Tethering between the natural and the surreal, supposedly disparate elements are woven together in this dizzying, self-referential work as the line between art, performance and reality begin to blur dramatically as the play reaches its chilling conclusion. *2) University of Nottingham Production: Those Who Can't, Teach* This year, the University of Nottingham Singapore Society presents *Those Who Can't, Teach*, by Haresh Sharma. The details of this yearly production can be found below: Time and Date: 7pm, 30 March 14 Venue: Studio 7, King's Meadow Campus, University of Nottingham Tickets are just 7 pounds a piece, so hesitate no more and get yours today!

It is now time for us to pass the baton over to the 32nd Exco, and we hope that all of you will continue to accord them your utmost support as well (: Once again, on behalf of the 31st Exco, thank you so much for everything.

We wish them all the best in their future endeavours! ------------------------------ 2. Final Words from our President, Hong Rui At the AGM 2 weeks ago, as I watched the video<http://e.groupspaces.com/click/4cz0a-1ez6m-pc2t6vi8?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.you…> being screened and recollected memories of the entire journey that we, the 31st Exco, have been through, I remember being overwhelmed with joy, nostalgia and more importantly, an immense sense of gratitude. It has been an extremely fulfilling year and our Exco has come a long way, but this success could not have been achieved without an extraordinary mix of people supporting us all this while. And now, I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt gratitude to all of you. *To the entire team ICSS*, each and every single one of the 57 OGLs, 13 Acad Reps, 11 Sports Reps, and everyone who has helped us in our events in one way or another, thank you for all your efforts. ICSS is a society centered around people, and we needed the support of you guys to help us see our plans through for everything we do, from PDT to Sojourn to sports and beyond. Thank you all for making everything possible, for making a difference in the lives of others, and for making this home of ours a reality. *To our 6 amazing OGHs*, Akash, Shixuan, Zichao, Qamarul, Bertrand and Chang Hong. Can you imagine how Sojourn would be without you guys around? The 6 of you were the ones who made the camp so vibrant, so crazy, and so much fun. Thank you for your excellent work in heading the OGs and hyping up everyone. Thank you for coming up with brilliant impromptu performances when we needed to stall a bit more time (*Swipee no swiping!*). And thank you for supporting us this entire time, not just for Sojourn, but for this whole journey. We couldn't have found a better team, and we really couldn't have asked for more. *To my hallmates, housemates and coursemates,* Gerlynn, Zhonghong , Paulene, Kancong, Shixuan, and my fellow awesome Mech Engineers, thank you for being the unsung heroes supporting me and the Exco throughout this journey. Thank you for that warm meal awaiting us when we are back home late from meetings, thank you for those times you collected lecture notes and helped us with our work, and most of all, thank you for your understanding and taking on the bulk of the work/cooking in order to cover our absence. You guys make the impossible manageable, and the tough bearable, and without your support, we would not have been able to devote our efforts to serve this society to the best of our abilities. *To all our seniors, especially the 29th and 30th Excos*, thank you for your guidance and invaluable words of advice, for your assurance that we are doing well, and thank you for all the work that you have done to make ICSS the amazing community that it was. To Joshua and Ashley, thanks for being my mentors and always being a call away. We will definitely miss having all of you around when you graduate, for ICSS would not be the same without you. Finally, *to my comrades in the 31st Exco*. I have so much to thank you all for that I could fill up this KnT by myself. Of course Siming doesn't approve, so I will mention you all in a separate Facebook note instead. But I must say that I am really blessed to have worked in such an exceptional team, where we don't see each other as just fellow Exco members, but close friends whom we've gone through thick and thin with. Thank you for all the late night drinking/HTHT sessions, for all the failed birthday surprises that we've staged, and for our random whatsapp chats plagued with Yiliang's emoticons and pictures. I am really privileged to have served by the side of each and every one of you, and thank you, for an incredible 12 months that I will never forget. *To all members of ICSS,* as an Exco alone, our efforts are limited, but together as one family, our possibilities become endless. I look forward to what the 32nd Exco brings to us, and once again, I thank you for choosing us, for believing in us and for supporting us throughout this odyssey. It has been an honour serving you. Yours truly, Chew Hong Rui President (Ret.) ------------------------------ 3. Final Words from our Vice-President, Gabriel As the members of the 32nd exco are slowly being elected in one by one, the nostalgia of my own election comes to mind. Even though I was not expecting to be in the exco, it has been a great experience and one that I would treasure. Thank you, you who has that bit of concern for society to take time off your busy schedule to read this. Thank you for your support; in participating in the events we conducted, for being the reason why we have them in the first place. Thank you for the notes you have copied during lectures, so that we may copy those we have missed. Thank you for the help with lab reports or projects, so that we may spend that bit more time in planning something for everyone. Thank you for the meals you have cooked that kept us going, the trash you have taken out. Thank you for the attention from afar, the moment of silence to say out piece. No matter how slim was our interaction, that bit made me push on. Thank you for all the encouragements and feedback, be it positive or negative. It has been said that being in an exco position is a heavy responsibility, but it is those who support the exco that has to bear the weight. To society, thank you for carrying us through. For us to include, involve and inspire future generations. To the 32nd exco, treasure each moment you have, and enjoy the journey ahead. But do not lose sight of the reason why you decided to take up this responsibility. Remember those around you and the society you serve. All the best! Yours gratefully, Gabriel Wee. ------------------------------ 4. Final Words from our Secretary, Siming If you're even reading this... *thank you* because that shows that you're vaguely interested in what I have to say! :D Thanks to *everyone in ICSS *for all your help, for reading my not-very-interesting Kaya and Toasts, for your fervent support in all our events. We wouldn't have done it without you! To *my coursemates and seniors:* Thanks so much for the help in everything, entertaining me in lectures, helping me with labs, lab reports, vivas etc.. To *my housemates* (Elvin, I hope you're reading this, and make the Mihas read too!): I love you all so much! :D Thanks for always cooking and leaving food for me, for enduring the noise I make when I come home so late at nights, for putting up with me when I'm tired and angsty, and for all the support and love that you always shower me with! <3 To *my dancers*: You guys touched me so much with your dedication and commitment. I wasn't sure of this role at the start because I felt that I wasn't good enough, but the support and love you all have showed made me feel very proud of belonging to this team and leading this team. It really was the best experience that I could have ever asked for, and I hope all of you had an enjoyable experience as well (: To *the 31st*: Thank you I love all of you!!! To *Wei Hao and the 32nd*: Jiayou all the best and don't ever hesitate to ask us for anything! :D And for the last time... Your faithful secretary, Siming ------------------------------ 5. Final Words from our Treasurer, Wei Jie Dear friends, The past year has certainly been very memorable for me. I would like to thank the following people for their help: To the senior exco, for their continued support throughout the entire year; in particular, Zhen Yi and Joel, for their guidance in the areas of finance and beyond. To the Sojourn Amazing Race team - Brian, Hsuan Te, Sean, Yi Heng, Yihan - really appreciate the dedication you guys have put in and spending long hours to plan to make the amazing race a success. To everyone from Minions - Chang Hong, Everett, Jia Guang, Kan Cong, Marc, Paulene, Timothy, Yihan, Yvette, and all freshers - thank you for being really enthusiastic and making Sojourn an extremely enjoyable weekend, and for being a fun group of people to go out with since Sojourn. To the acting team - Clive, Everett, Jacqueline, Jaren, Jerome, Jia Guang, Jia Hui, Kah Ming, Sameer, Sze Wei, Thomas, Ting Wei and Wei Hao - a big thank you for making all our late night rehearsals extremely fun, lively and memorable. To the front-of-house team - Aaron, Chang Hong, Kan Cong, Li Bing, Zi Jie, Zi Xiang - and Akash who stepped in to help on the day itself, thank you for helping out at such short notice, from scanning tickets to looking after the ticket counter and distributing the programme booklets and flyers at the door. To the publicity team, in particular to Zi Jie and Maung Thet for taking the time to provide countless inputs for the programme booklet and other publicity materials, Benjamin and Qiao Yan for painstakingly making so many revisions for all the publicity materials. To Thomas, for the creatively written paragraphs found throughout the programme booklet, for making the temporary tattoos a success, and much more. To my housemates - Chang Hong, Gordon, Jen Yi, Jia Guang and Li Bing - thanks for everything that I could have asked for, from cooking meals to accommodate our schedules during the busiest times, to providing a listening ear and giving opinions and advice. To my skating mates - Audrey, Darren, Eric, Jia Ying, Kan Cong, Ping Lin, Sarah, Skyler and Travis (sorry if I missed anyone out!) - it has been really great to get to skate with all of you. This has been a great respite and source of relaxation, away from all the seemingly interminable work. To Hong Rui, Gabriel, Siming, Chuan Khim, Yu Zheng, Yi Sheng, Jen Yi, Yiliang, I'm really appreciative of being able to work with each of you, and of course the many outings that we had throughout the year. To Maung Thet, I would like to wish you a successful and fruitful term. While the journey ahead may look difficult or even uncertain, I am confident that you will be able to gain an excellent experience. And I'll always be there to help whenever you need it, so let me know if you need anything. To the 32nd exco, all the best in the year ahead! ------------------------------ 6. Final Words from our Major Event Officer, Chuan Khim I remember vividly elections 1 year ago, where myself and the other 8 members of the 31st ICSS ExCo were elected - the photo-taking session after elections ended, the ensuing handover session between my predecessors and myself, and the walk home that night, knowing that I was now part of the ICSS ExCo - a group of 9 whom put ourselves forward to serve the Society and our people. In this past year, the 31st ICSS ExCo has strived to continue the wonderful legacy left to us; to continue to strengthen, build and expand our home here in London - far away from the comforts of Singapore. Through hours and hours of meetings and preparation, policies were crafted, initiatives were launched, and events were organised, all with the same common aim - to serve our members, and to fortify this Society we call home. This has been done together with the support of our batchmates and our seniors - the people who have always supported the ExCo. From SFP to CNY Dinner, from Sojourn to UKBound, from Hyde Park Picnic to E-gaming Competition, your continued support of the 9 of us, be it as friends, as housemates, as coursemates, or as members of the society, was the driving force for the Society as well as the ExCo. Thank you for all that you have done for the Society and for us, and for being who you are. My sincerest gratitude goes out to all of you, and know that for all your support, I am eternally grateful. And of course, all was not possible with the enthusiasm and participation from our newest family members - the year 1s, and masters/exchange students as well. Thank you for your continued support that you have shown the 31st ICSS ExCo, be it in sports, or in events, or in our outings. I hope that you have enjoyed our events as much as we have enjoyed organising them. Which brings me to Major Event. The journey to ME 2014 started way back, 51 weeks ago, and it has been an amazing journey. To all participants of ME 2014, thank you so much, for everything. From Front-of-House to the Dancers, from the Makeup Team to the Musicians, from the Publicity Team to the Director and the Acting Team Mentors, from the Cast & Crew, to my predecessors and seniors - your enthusiasm, energy, hard work, and quality have made this journey especially enjoyable and fulfilling, and I am very proud to have all of you alongside me throughout this journey. The results of a production, as ME 2014 was, is always only about 30% on the show, and 30% on the process. The remaining 40% goes to what comes after the show - the friendships forged and bonds formed, the times shared, the sense of identity as a group and as a team. Enjoy the fruits of your hard work, for it is no more than what you deserve. Lastly, there is one last special group to thank. Thank you, my fellow 31st ExCo members. This is a journey that we have walked together; a journey that has brought us closer together; a journey that I will never forget. The times we had, experiences we share, and friendships forged through this journey of ups and downs, will stay with me for a long time to come. I am proud to have served alongside you; to be part of the ICSS ExCo together with all of you. Proud, to have spent this life-changing experience together with all of you. Thank you, for everything. The year of serving as the ICSS ExCo has come to a close, and the baton has been passed on to the next batch of people who have put themselves forth, like all other ExCos have, to serve the Society and its members. To the 32nd ExCo - foray on bravely and with confidence, for with your passion to serve and learn, nothing can hinder you. If you ever need us, myself, and the 31st, (and 30th and 29th and 28th), will always be there for you. Signing off for the last time, Yours Always, Chuan Khim Your Ex-Major Event Officer. ------------------------------ 7. Final Words from our Events Officer, Yu Zheng Hi everyone! It has been a great year serving you all. It's really magical seeing how everyone, from strangers, have now become great friends. And I guess that's something amazing that events can do to create these bonds. It has been an eventful year for me. I had my ups and downs throughout this past year. But seeing the results of this past year, I would say that this journey has been really fulfilling for me. Hope you guys had enjoyed the events as much as I had enjoyed organizing them for y'all:)! Best regards, Liam Events Officer Imperial College Singapore Society ------------------------------ 8. Final Words from our Events Officer, Yi Sheng Term's over? Wow, much fast. A brief shout out to the people along the way. To *the M'am*: Thanks for not objecting too much when I plunged into this. Your company and support is all I could ever need in my life. To *the 30th and 29th*: All this started off with your accumulative efforts and guidance. Thanks for helping to shape Singsoc into what we know and love. *Those who convinced me to run in the first place*: particularly Everett, Chee Yang and Zi Xiang: Gamxia, its been an awesome experience. To *the family at 126 Cromwell*: On hindsight I really shouldn't have chosen Wednesdayfor my cooking day. Sorry! I will make up for my backlog, promise! =D To *the musicians*: you guys are awesome. Thanks for sticking with us through all the (literally) breathtaking moments, long waits and people telling us to keep quiet when we are jamming. Jia Le has got plans aplenty, so see you all soon! (Speaking of long waits, I have got stuff for you guys, when we meet =D) To *the 31st:* Aw damn this is the really hard part. I don't think KnT could ever fit all the ups and downs from this journey so far. Every instance of covering each other's backs, society above self, going the extra mile that no one else would. I'm honoured to be part of this, and more so that I have friends like you. Can't say I miss you guys though; we're not done with hanging out as this group of 9 yet! For* the 32nd:* it's exciting times ahoy! Call us up anytime for help, and in the case of this old guy keep bugging me if I forget ^^ And that's a wrap. Yubyub, Yi Sheng ------------------------------ 9. Final Words from our Sports Officer, Jen Yi Hello everybody, One year ago, I would never, ever have imagined that I would be in a position to write this note of thanks, but here I am and here it is: To the *sports reps* (in no order of importance, Klaxton, Yen Chen, Joelle, Si Jia, Bertrand, Zhi Jie, Travis, Ken and Sean): Thank you for all the effort you've put into organizing sessions for everyone. Thanks for co-ordinating for WSG and Notts Games, and also for your continual support during these games despite your busy schedules. I cannot claim any credit whatsoever for the fact that people continue to enjoy sports organized by the ICSS; that credit belongs wholly to you. To the *Set Design Team* of ME 2014: Let me just say once again that your contribution to the production was invaluable. Without you, the production could not have happened. Go set design! To my housemates *Jia Guang, Chang Hong, Li Bing, Wei Jie and Gordon*: Thanks for helping out with all our events, both in the preparation and on the day itself although you didn't have to. Thanks especially for your words of advice and offers to cook when WJ and I were busy. Much appreciated! To the *Cromwell House*: Thanks for being so encouraging and for introducing me to DOTA. My addiction to it is on you. To my *Foosball Exco members* (although I doubt any of them will read this): Thanks for supporting me and tanking the work in the course of this year, for being very understanding when I prioritise ICSS over Foosball (sorry!). You guys are the best! To *everyone else* who has supported me on this journey: Thank you for your support and encouragement. It has been vital to me throughout this whole year. To the *31st Exco*: It has been a wonderful year working with you guys! You have been nothing but supportive throughout this entire year, especially when I found myself seriously out of my depth. The journey has been long and arduous, but I can honestly say I regret nothing. To *Yu Quan*: You alone decide how you want your journey to pan out. All the best! ------------------------------ 10. Final Words from our Liaisons Officer, Yiliang It's been a brilliant year in term. Joining the 31st Executive Committee was probably one of the highlights of my academic year, the great amount of exposure and self-development that I had from being in office fuelled me into being a better and more mature individual. In retrospect, amidst all the exposure that I had, I realise that there are a few groups of individuals that I would like to express my gratitude for as they made this arduous journey more comfortable and pleasant. Firstly, my *course mates*(: I would like to express my utmost appreciation to Jiayun, Chern Hwee, Stella, Jen Wei, Choon Huat and Shi Xuan for being the best course mates one could ask for. It's always a blessing having a tightly knitted group of friends whom we can just talk and have a good laugh. More than that, thanks for helping us take our notes when we miss lectures and telling us the important points to take note of in projects and lectures that we have. My* Chorale team*(: All of you contributed significantly into making my Major Event experience an enjoyable and pleasant one. It's been an unforgettable experience for me and for all of you I hope. For my chorale members, thanks for being so accommodating and accepting to whatever we ask of you. For my vocal coaches, thanks for the devotion and commitment to Chorale despite your hectic schedules, it's been tough on both of you and I sincerely appreciate that. My *fellow committee members* (: It's been a blast and a long journey for the 9 of us. I am really glad that all of us pulled through it and did a really decent job through our term. The long nights in summer and the even longer nights leading up to Major Event was definitely worth it. Hopefully, the friendships that we fostered will last and as Gabriel mentioned, "talking and reminiscing our experiences through coffee in the future". At this juncture, I have *a quote for everyone* (oops, not again). This is something I found particularly true through the course of my term. *"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." * * Mahatma Gandhi <http://e.groupspaces.com/click/4cz0a-1ez6m-pc2t6vi8?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.good…> * To the *incoming Liaison officer *and *32nd Executive Committee*, I pray that all of you will have the same fulfilling journey that I had, deriving satisfaction from service and in the midst of it all, learn so much more about yourself. Work hard and enjoy this one year that you have. It will be the time of your lives. * Chen Yiliang* *Liaisons Officer**31st Executive Committee* ------------------------------ http ://www . union . ic . ac . uk/osc/singapore/<http://e.groupspaces.com/click/4cz0a-1ez6m-pc2t6vi8?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.unio…> To unsubscribe, visit https://mailman . ic . ac . uk/mailman /listinfo/icu-singsoc<http://e.groupspaces.com/click/4cz0a-1ez6m-pc2t6vi8?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmailman…> Powered by GroupSpaces<http://e.groupspaces.com/click/4cz0a-1ez6m-pc2t6vi8?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgroupspa…>- Manage your group online<http://e.groupspaces.com/click/4cz0a-1ez6m-pc2t6vi8?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgroupspa…> <http://e.groupspaces.com/click/4cz0a-1ez6m-pc2t6vi8?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgroupspa…>
