The Weekly Kaya & Toast -- Spring Term Week 5
by Gabriel Quek 07 Feb '13

07 Feb '13

Updates Hi everyone, Major Event was indeed a night to remember. To those who came down, a big thank you for your supoprt of the ICSS and I hope you enjoyed the show! To fellow cast and crew of Major Event, great job everyone! I believe our Major Event Officer has some words for all of you below. Now that we are all hopefully more well rested and well on our way to catching up with work (lol, who am I kidding), let us not forget that Chinese New Year is this weekend! As such, we have our annual Chinese New Year dinner tomorrow! The trailers are up on our ICSS webpage with more to come! Note that the dinner will be held on the upper floor and we will have ushers to guide you. More importantly, I'm proud to announce that we will be providing free yusheng for every table! Also, there will be a table lucky draw held promptly at 7pm with the prize being an extra 100% portion of yusheng! Only tables with complete attendance at 7pm are eligible for this draw, so please get all your lateness-prone friends there on time by hook or by crook! As the dust settles post-Major Event, many of us may ask "what now?". Well, if you think that what the ICSS does is worth your time and effort preserving, improving and developing, perhaps you may want to consider running for the positions of Exco at our upcoming AGM, during which elections will be held. This is a meeting which I encourage ALL MEMBERS to attend as this really determines the well-being of our society for at least the next year of term. Even if you are not running for office, I believe everyone has a stake in the society and this is the opportunity to exercise your right to influence the running of the society. Nominations and manifesto submissions are open! Please refer to the full AGM post below for the various rules and guidelines. There have also been updates for "Who Boleh", especially for the gamers, who have to now choose between DOTA and L4D2!

See you there! ------------------------------ 2. Major Event 2013 - Homecoming Dearest Cast and Crew of Major Event 2013, We did it. These 3 words essentially encapsulate the very essence of the emotions that I felt on the 2nd of February, 2013. As I sat down in my seat and watch the lights go dim, my heart rate increased exponentially. The stage lights came on. The lines were delivered. As I heard the audience reel in laughter at the comical moments and quote the quirky connotations, those 3 words rang in my head. We did it. Though we may not have been the Tony Award Winners of Imperial College London, it was the smaller things in the musical that breathed character and life into Major Event. Jian Ting as he rolled the tables over in "Where is Jimmy?", the girly whimpers as the audience swooned over Jimmy, the rapturous applause at the awe-inspiring "Circle of Life". Yes there were mistakes but they were few and far in between, mostly buried by the immensity of the show and jolly good times both actor and audience had that night. As the saying goes, do your best, and when life hands you lemons you can proudly go "I tried ok!" But, I believe we did more than simply try. We did it.* * * *** Perhaps one of the most momentous moments in Major Event was when Walter and Bailey embraced each other in their epic epilogues. As I watched Kan Cong wrap his arms around Paulene with so much passion and love I looked back and realized how far all of us have come. From the timid and shy boy who suffers from stage fright to the confident young man on stage, I think about how Major Event has molded each and everyone of us into something else. The Actors, whom we could hardly hear a peep from in the beginning have now a surreal sense of all the factors of production. The Dancers, who couldn't tell one foot from the other now prance like graceful swans on stage. The Singers, who melded their voices with the stage as they took on all sorts of roles. The Musicians, who put together a charged performance in a matter of weeks. The Set Design team, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes providing the necessary logistical demands of Major Event. Ticketing and Publicity, working day and night to make Major Event the sell-out crowd that allowed the performers to feel the full furor of the production. I look back and I gaze in awe at how we have come together, as separate components, as separate teams and as separate entities, to form one synergistic force to be reckoned with. To become one family. The Actors. The Dancers. The Singers. The Music. The Backstage Crew. The Ticketing and Publicity. The Cast and Crew. All those months, weeks and hours that we will never get back, spent practicing the same scenes over and over again, striving towards perfecting each step and each note, painting all the minute details and creating the picture perfect publicity. The sheer will and belief of each and everyone of the participants reinforced my own drive as the Major Event Officer, to build a production that would strengthen the Singaporean Society. There have been shortcomings, there have been sacrifices and there has been soul-searching. But no man ever walked alone. As quickly as one fell from the immense pressure of Major Event, there were several others waiting to pick him up. The words of encouragement, the shifting of roles, the extra hours of practice, really brought out the fraternity and sorority of the Major Event. We refused to give up. We refused to call quits. We refused to say no. I watched as the lights came back on one final time and the friends of the Cast and Crew gush on to stage to present the gifts and good words I knew that Major Event had been a success, not for me, not for the Exco, but for the Imperial College Singaporean Society. As Bryan from the 28th came up to me and patted me on the shoulder, he told me how Major Event had once more been a wonderful success, not because we had done an outstanding show (which we did!), but because the cast and crew were not simply standing with their new-found friends, they were standing with their new-found family. Of course not all was glitz and glamour. On the behalf of the 30th Executive Committee I would like to take this opportunity to appreciate everyone for their incredibly hard work and determination in making Major Event the success that it has become, and for your enduring the moments that seemed to drag by in the endless rush of combined rehearsals. We understand that some were more unhappy than others, like the Make Up team whom we did not keep up to date on the change in timeline on the Show Day itself. Things got hectic and they were given less time than they had hoped for, but in the end we made it through the thick and thin together. So before I go I'd like to thank you, each and everyone of you, for being a part of this wonderful family that we have formed over the past few months. It has been both a pleasure and honor to work with all of you and I hope that you will always look back on this day and say to yourself. We did it. Your Major Event Officer, Phua Hsuan Te ------------------------------ 3. ICSS Annual General Meeting 2013 Hi everyone!

The Weekly Kaya & Toast -- Spring Term Week 4
by Gabriel Quek 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Updates Hi everyone, I hope you are all as excited as I am about Major Event: Homecoming this Saturday! That's in 2 days' time. The cast and crew has really put in a ton of effort into each and every single aspect of the performance, making it definitely worth those few hours not spent mugging our heads off like the average Imperial Singaporean student. Assignments come and go, but as I've said before, each Major Event happens only once. Sometimes it's good to just take a break, jump on the bandwagon, and participate in the biggest event of the year like everyone else. In the meantime, you can take a look at all the publicity material that has been coming out this past week! Regarding CNY Dinner, we still have tables available! Consider no longer and make the decision to come down for this massive gathering! Check out the lucky draw prizes and doorgifts revealed below! In addition, the signup deadline has been extended to the *3rd of February (Sunday)*. Following this is the "Who Boleh? 2013" event, in collaboration with ICUMS. With Zara vouchers to be won, and won via playing Captain's Ball, computer games or various card/board games, there's no reason to wait! Please signup by *8th Februrary (Friday)*. Next, a little announcement. Those who have a place for Spring Trip but have not paid please pay by *1st February, Friday*, or your place will be opened up to those on the waiting list. On other news, the UCL CNY Carnival is this Sunday. There will be up to £500 of Selfridges vouchers to be won, and lots of yummy and rare goodies in the free goodie bags! Check out the post below for more information. And in the careers section, we have several notable additions, namely: SIA recruitment, the Public Policy Challenge (PPC) (signup ASAP for this!), and a PSD info session on careers, internships and the PPC held at UCL after the CNY carnival. Finally, applications for the Point Hope Book Prize 2013 are now closed! The awardees will be presented with their prize at this year's Major Event 2013: Homecoming. Hope to see you all at our events! Your faithful secretary, Gabriel ------------------------------ Contents 1. Major Event 2013 - Homecoming <#13c9244ca0aca60a_item1> 2.

The Weekly Kaya & Toast -- Spring Term Week 3
by Gabriel Quek 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Updates Hi everyone, Once again I am here to tell you how close we are to the BIGGEST EVENT in the ICSS calendar! Major Event is essentially *next week*! For those who have already bought tickets, thankyouverymuch, you will definitely be treated to a good show. For those who have not yet bought tickets, there is no time to waste! Give an exasperated "yes" to the friend who has been bugging you incessantly; find out more about the plot on our facebook event page. On performance day, you will not regret your decision. And for those not buying tickets, WHY MISS OUT? Come down to see how acting, singing, dancing, music and lights all come together in a single show, performed by fellow Singaporeans and friends no less. Major Event 2013 happens only once. Never again will you get the same blend of talented and energetic people. And that is what makes Major Event special, the people: on, off, and backstage. So please come, for your friends, for ICSS. Your valued presence will definitely shape the success of Major Event. On top of that, remember that Reunion dinner is best enjoyed in the company of those closest to our hearts. We urge you all to attend our annual Chinese New Year dinner with friends as this is the occasion where everyone is gathered for a warm hearty meal in the best company. The symbolism of this event ties in strongly with our theme for the year: Homecoming. We hope to have the entire ICSS family down in a show of unity. Finally, please sign up by the *1st of February (Friday)* to aid us in our planning. Thanks guys! In the same vein, let us not forget our neighbours across the Johor Strait. "Who Boleh? 2013" is a collaborative effort between ICSS and ICUMS, with individual and team prizes of *Zara **vouchers* worth up to £30 and £60 respectively! Use this chance to expand our social circles beyond fellow Singaporeans to our overseas relatives in Malaysia, and note the signup deadline of *8th Februrary (Friday)*. Next, we have a reminder to those who have signed up for Spring Trip. Please make payment ASAP as there are many interested individuals on the waiting list and we may have to make adjustments to the allocation if we do not receive confirmation. Also, Spring Musical signups are now closed. Note that the deadline for registering to run a stall for the CNY carnival at UCL is tomorrow, *25th of January*, and that pre-registration entitles you to a free goodie bag! More info below. Finally, don't forget the 2 Point Hope Book Prizes of £500 plus summer internship that are once again available. Applications close by *Sunday (27th Janurary) at 11:59pm*. Spring is busy time, full of life and activity. This seems to be reflected in our spring calendar, with event coming after event. But I must say that each of these events are important and meaningful in their own way and are organised to enrich the experiences of our members. The ICSS thrives on the vibrancy of its members, so I really hope to see you all there at these events! Your faithful secretary, Gabriel ------------------------------ Contents 1.

The Weekly Kaya & Toast -- Spring Term Week 1
by Gabriel Quek 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

Updates Hi everyone, Now that Spring Term has begun full and proper, here are all the exciting things that are lined up and screaming for your attention. And trust me, you WANT to pay attention. First and foremost, THE biggest event of the YEAR is just round the corner! Many months of preparation have gone by, hours of sweat, blood, tears and brain-juice has been spent on this endeavour. It's time to show the world what ICSS is made of. Come experience the adventures of 4 friends who will stop at nothing to make sure they manage to find their way back home to Singapore! And don't just come alone! Bring all your friends to *Major Event 2013: Homecoming*, showcasing Singapore and the ICSS. Please take note of the updated link. Secondly, with regards to Chinese New Year, please note that the date for our reunion dinner has been *changed* from 9th Feb to *8th Feb (Friday)*. It is encouraged that you sign up in groups of up to 10 people! More details below. (: Oh, on a related note, the annual CNY carnival will be taking place at UCL once again. Scroll all the way to the bottom of this KnT to read about how you can set up your own stalls! Third, as promised, and based on YOUR VOTES, there will be a musical outing to watch the Phantom of the Opera on the *12th of February*! This highly popular, members-only opportunity is the final one for this year, so... fastest fingers first. Good luck. Next up, some of us may recall fond memories of the "Who Boleh" series last year, of dodging bullets and balls, and of going head to head with our contemporaries from across the Johor Strait in a battle for culinary supremecy. This year, we once again come together with our neighbours for a day of fun and games. This time however, we will be having mixed teams from both societies, which is a chance for all to get to know the Malaysians better. So don't hesitate to seize this opportunity! Finally, having heard the voice of the people, we would like to announce that the ICSS Spring Trip will be to the White Cliffs of Dover! As usual, first come first served, and your place can only be confirmed upon full payment. More details below. And for the career oriented, there is 1 update, in the form of the Singapore Industry Scholarship. With that, enjoy Spring! Boing boing.

Autumn Term Round Up Dear Friends, It’s that time of the year again, as the temperature drops below freezing, that we can all finally sit back and relax after a stressful first term of school. As Autumn term draws to a close, we would just like to take the opportunity to say a very big thank you to all our members for all the support over the past term in building up our home away from home. To round up the events of the term, we started off the academic year with our Fresher welcome events followed by our annual Hyde Park Picnic to welcome everyone back to London. This was followed by our very own Halloween Party where we got together for a night of scary fun! After that, we were off to Nottingham to vie for glory amongst the other Singapore Societies in the UK. Then we had our Ordinary General Meeting to update everyone on our activities, finances and future plans. Then, it was shopping and exploring at Ashford and Canterbury respectively, with 2 musical outings sprinkled in between. And, to cap off the term, we had our annual Christmas Party get-together for a night of feasting and good company! And throughout all this of course, were our major event rehearsals and preparations for next term. As you can see, our Autumn calendar has been amazingly packed and indeed, the support shown for these events were most heartening, with our trips and musicals oversubscribed and over 75 people turning up for our end-of-term Christmas party. To give everyone an idea of the events that will be organised in the next term, we have listed the events with their descriptions below. *Spring Trip: *The destination poll is still ongoing! Participate in it to get your opinions heard! The standings are shown in the full post below. *Spring Musicals:* The poll is now closed with Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera winning by large margins! *Chinese New Year Dinner: *Do not miss our oldest tradition, our annual Reunion Dinner! This year, it will be held on Chinese New Year Eve (9thFebruary 2013), so do keep a look out for publicity which will be released early next term! *Collaboration Event with ICUMS: *A tradition started only last year, previously dubbed the "Who Boleh" series, we are continuing with the collaborative events with the Malaysian society to help us get to know our closest neighbours! *Major Event: *Need we say more? Do refer to the publicity piece below and get your tickets early! Also, do keep a lookout for our 30th Anniversary special minor event to be held in conjunction with Major Event this year! We, the 30th Exco would like to express our sincere gratitude to all our members for your strong show of support of our events. As we head into the Spring term, we hope that the society will progress forward together as we shoot for the sky with our annual highlight Major Event. With your help, we hope to make the year even more exciting in Spring! Once again thank you guys, and to those going on the Ski Trip, see you there! To everyone else, do take care in the cold weather and have a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! With love, 30th Executive Committee ------------------------------ 2. Major Event 2013 - Homecoming * * *Hi all!

Our very own curry puff queen was crowned Iron Chef at the party, and guess what, even the strawberries came dressed for the occasion! Some of us had to prove ourselves in the Human Bingo game, while others took the Relay with Kisses game pretty seriously. Finally, in the gift exchange with a twist, some of us got what we wanted, others...well... will have to make do. At least he's happy. (: This is probably the first Christmas that many of you are spending away from home but we sincerely hope that everyone of you had enjoyed yourselves celebrating this festive season with your new-found friends in your Home Away from Home. Do look forward to more exciting ICSS events in store for you all next term! Warmest Regards, The 30th Exco ------------------------------ 4. Spring Trip Poll An update on the poll numbers!

The Weekly Kaya & Toast -- Autumn Term Week 9

30 Nov '12

Updates Hi everyone, First off, some updates. For Christmas Party, don't forget to bring a small gift (<£5), unwrapped, as we are providing a gift wrapping service. All the better to play the MAD SANTA GIFT EXCHANGE. Come down to experience this twist on the standard gift exchange. Also, sign up for free Santa hats/Reindeer antlers! See the post below for more information. Limited stock of Sojourn T-shirts are on sale; contact Xing Kai to order it. Coincidentally, Xing Kai also happens to be *gathering photos* for this years' 30th Anniversary Retrospect yearbook. Send him pictures of all the cool places you've been to, and your coolness will be immortalised forever. Good deal, in my opinion. Secondly, as we conclude the never-ending flurry of Autumn events with the Canterbury trip and Wicked II outing, we also look forward to MORE TRIPS and MORE MUSICAL OUTINGS in Spring. Please send the relevant people (this can be found below!) any suggestions you may have by their respective deadlines. Finally, all careers posts will now be summarized into 1! The full details for each, if it interests you, can now be found in the spanking new careers section in our ICSS website<http://e.groupspaces.com/click/2p5u5-1ez6m-10m6vr7f9r?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.u…> .
