01 Nov '12

Updates Hi everyone, If you have been reading the Fiesta posts closely, you would have realised that next week we have our Ordinary General Meeting (OGM). This is where we will *update you on the various happenings*, on completed events and upcoming ones. As it is a members' meeting, everyone will have the chance to *engage the Exco* on any matter that concerns the society. To include it in the agenda, you can click on the agenda link below for directions. Finally, we will be giving out your *membership cards* PLUS a *free Ben & Jerry's cup* to all attendees who sign up at the link below. We will also be presenting the *Fiesta awards* and Point Hope will be presenting their Book Prize to their awardees. As for Hall Fiesta, all you have to do now is to "like" all your favourite dishes on our Facebook page, under the Hall Fiesta album. Then, come down to OGM to witness the presentation of all 3 awards of "Closest to Home", "Best Caption" and "Most Popular Dish"! Some announcements: 1. Nottingham games is *this Saturday*. Time to take out the war paint and bring along your warrior gear to the year's last major sports competitive showdown. 2. 2nd "Wicked" Outing. *Only 6 tickets available*, which will be allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis. No time to wait. Early bird catches the worm. 3. Shopping Trip and Autumn Trip are now closed! Any new signups will be put on the waiting list. Now for the non-ICSS stuff, that are nonetheless important and quite relevant to some of you: 1. The UKSSC AGM will be held on the *17th of November*. You may sign up as a candidate or nominate your friends. Deadline for submission of Nomination Form and Manifesto is 10th November 2359hrs. 2. Chance to meet DBS CEO, Mr. Piyush Gupta at a *complimentary* talk cum networking event held at Millennium Gloucester Hotel on the *6th of November *. Food will be provided, and if previous experience is to be trusted, you can be sure that it will be of a high standard. 3. Finally, for those who may consider a career in NEA, EDB, MFA or Foster Wheeler, check out the OSU career series below. Once again, thanks for reading.

The right student will take advantage of this opportunity to make a name for themselves on a platform that will be doing their global marketing for them. Our company is seeking the most knowledgeable students in each of the following industries: - Investment Banking, M&A and Private Equity - Trading (from global macro to quants and algo. specialists) - Hedge Funds and Alternative Investments - Venture Capital Your task will be to compose discerning blog posts about your specialist area on a weekly or bi-monthly basis. These blog posts will be seen by thousands and may significantly raise your online career profile with leading financial industry employers.

Take this chance to release all that stress accumulating this term, with your friends/ hallmates/ housemates /anyone from Imperial! All you need to do is sign up, be there to board the bus on time and we’ll do the rest! "But but but, what can you do at Canterbury?" You may ask. Well, this city promises plenty! Once at Canterbury, one definitely must visit the *Canterbury Catherdral,*one of the oldest and most famous Christian structures in England. This cathedral has a rich history and is well known for the murder of then archbishop, Thomas Becket. After a visit to the cathedral, head over to *St Augustine’s Abbey*, another well-known place where Eadbald, the King of Kent was buried. If churches aren't your thing, you can always head off to see the *Norman castle* or go for a city tour known as the *Canterbury Tales *. If you need a break, you can head over to *The Goods Shed* for a wide variety of food or simply enjoy your high tea at *Tiny Tim’s Tearoom.* You can end off by taking some photos at the *West gate*, the largest surviving city gate in England with a road that leads to London. For more details on what to do or see, visit our website at bit . ly/Autumn_2012<http://e.groupspaces.com/click/2kxwd-1ez6m-ab1ivbe8z?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%…> . So what are you waiting for?

Global Inter Universities Presidents (GIUP) Message from GIUP: JOB POSTING: *Nationwide Student Blogger* GIUP is providing the most talented finance students in the UK with an outstanding opportunity to significantly boost their career in high finance. One of the main reasons why it's so hard to become a respected financial blogger is because you must first become well-known. Bloggers must market themselves, which can take many years; it’s the main reason why many great bloggers remain undiscovered. The right student will take advantage of this opportunity to make a name for themselves on a platform that will be doing their global marketing for them. Our company is seeking the most knowledgeable students in each of the following industries: - Investment Banking, M&A and Private Equity - Trading (from global macro to quants and algo. specialists) - Hedge Funds and Alternative Investments - Venture Capital Your task will be to compose discerning blog posts about your specialist area on a weekly or bi-monthly basis. These blog posts will be seen by thousands and may significantly raise your online career profile with leading financial industry employers. Please apply through Facebook by sending a private message via our FB page – suitable candidates will then be contacted by our managing director: https://www . facebook . com/GIUPLou* *nge<http://e.groupspaces.com/click/2kxwd-1ez6m-ab1ivbe8z?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fa…> ------------------------------ Bursting with feedback?

After a visit to the cathedral, head over to *St Augustine’s Abbey*, another well-known place where Eadbald, the King of Kent was buried.

Thirdly, Hyde Park picnic is upon us again! We have organized a massive picnic at none other than the beautiful Hyde Park. There will be food, drink, good company, and of course, sports!

This is a good chance for you to meet Singaporeans from all batches, in the universal and "friendly" twin arenas of sport and food, amidst the cool autumn breeze, under the light autumn sun. Finally, check out the networking event organised by OSU and Contact Singapore on the 7th of October, the DBS talent programmes and the Citibank recruitment drive (deadline today!). Details below.

Updates Hi everyone, Ski Trip 2012 is here!!!!! Check out the awesome deal that we have managed to procure this year and you'll see why we're so excited and jumping in our seats! Held from 14th - 23rd December at Tignes, with a very attractive price of £465, this is definitely *the year to go skiing/snowboarding* with your friends from ICSS. Sign ups will open very soon, so mark out the dates and start *jio*-ing your friends today! Being a senior doesn't mean you can't play sports anymore. Recall Warwick Summer Games 2011. Can you simply leave the fray after being so close to the top spot? Join forces with our fresh blood and maybe make a few new friends this year! Word has it that even our President is getting down and dirty in the bloody and cutthroat game of Scrabble. So what are you waiting for? Every war needs its veterans. On a final note, sorry for the logo not loading in the previous KnT, it can now be found on our website at the link below. And please sign up for the Freshers' Walkabout if you are available to help out. Thank you! Your friendly secretary, Gabriel ------------------------------ Contents 1.

Ski Trip 2012 News about the much awaited annual Imperial Ski Trip has finally arrived! This year, in commemoration of the ICSS’s 30th Anniversary, we have managed to secure an irresistible package with highly attractive perks specially for our members! This December, we will be headed for the snow-sure and picturesque French town of *Tignes*. Located at an altitude of over 3000m, Tignes boasts over 300km of pistes and off-pistes and is part of one of the world’s largest ski areas, Espace Killy. Tignes promises to be all that you might expect of a ski resort, and more! After all, what would you expect of the host of the 1992 Winter Olympics and 2013 Winter X-Games? Now, this might seem like something for veteran ski enthusiasts only. Rest assured, however, as our resort this year has a multitude of slopes of varying levels of difficulty to cater to folks of all abilities, from those who have never seen ski blades before to those who would strap them on and speed off the moment they hit the slopes. Do note that it is highly like that the majority of our participants will be amateurs, so if you’re worried about being seen (or caught on video) slipping and falling in an unglam fashion time and again, well, you’ll definitely not be alone! For those who think that a whole week of skiing is way too much, there is an assortment of activities available at the resort and places to visit in the nearby town to keep you entertained non-stop if you so wish, such as pool, swimming, TV, bars and restaurants. Details of the package are provided below. ·* 14th December 2012* (Friday evening, last day of Autumn Term) to *23rdDecember 2012 * (Sunday early morning) – back in London in time for Christmas and the Boxing Day sales!!! · All-time low price of *£465* – package includes: o 7 nights’ accommodation (4-bed rooms) o Return coach travel (including ferry crossings, fuel/toll charges, tourist taxes) o 6 days equipment hire (ski/snowboard equipment) o All meals (buffet) o 6 days full area lift pass (Espace Killy) o 12 hours instruction (2 hours a day) o Custom-designed T-shirt o Evening entertainment programme (optional) In accordance with our 30th Anniversary celebrations, we will be giving priority to ICSS members and their family and friends for sign-ups, as places are limited! This will be a fantastic opportunity for you to go on a holiday with friends or family, meet other ICSS members, or simply to get away from the dreary London winter and have a tremendously exciting week of fun and adventure, so mark these dates down in your calendar quickly! Do stay tuned, as sign-ups for this exclusive Ski Trip 2012 will be opening soon!

The Weekly Kaya & Toast -- Summer Break Issue 2
by Gabriel Quek 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

Updates Hi everyone, How are you all enjoying your summer? Spice it up even more by joining ICSS in our summer events below! Firstly, UKBound: Vogue has arrived! It will be held at *Zouk*, on *15th Sept (Saturday)*. More details can be found below. If you want to wish to help out with the event, you may contact Ting Wei at eventsofficer1(a)ic-singsoc.net. Also back in town, we have the annual Warwick Summer Games! Our sports officer has a fierce hunger for the top spot this year. Do not let his call to arms fall upon deaf ears! It's once again time to take up your weapons, bats, racquets, and sticks, and march to face the challenge! It is time to sound the horn and claim the title which was so nearly ours before. Sign up now! Thirdly, the DPM Dialogue is *this Wednesday, 25th July*. Don't miss out on the chance to engage DPM Teo on social media and its role in shaping society. Last among the events, UKSSC has organised a forum with Minister Chan Chun Sing on the *4th of August*, with our Singapore Identity as a theme. Personally, I find this yet another topic that is close to our hearts, with the recent influx of foreigners and resultant shift in our identity. I would also like to express my appreciation for all those who attended the recently concluded Pre-Departure Talk, on behalf of the Exco. Your continued support is essential to the success of our events and the event really would not have been possible without your dedication to and belief in our mission to create a home away from home for all Singaporeans. Finally, if you recall, we held our Logo Design Competition sometime ago. The results and the new logo is now out! Check it out below. P.S. There will be no real need for bats and racquets at this year's WSG, only floorball sticks, and your hands and feet. And brain.

SGin(C) 2012 Hi friends, Singaporeans in Conversation, *SGin(C) 2012*, is an annual event organized by The United Kingdom Singaporean Students Council (The UKSSC). SGin(C) is a half-day event that not only attracts Singaporean students from local universities but also those in the UK, USA and China. The forum this year is centred on the notion of the Singaporean identity and what it means to be a Singaporean. We will explore the challenges that our Singaporean society will be facing in the near future and how this would shape our identity. This topic is close to the hearts of Singaporean as we are constantly influenced by both internal and exogenous factors that shape our identity. The dialogue will be geared towards exploring the true meaning of being a Singaporean. This subject seems all the more significant today following the recent spate of immigrant-related issues, ranging from curry to jobs. Date: *4 August 2012* Time: *8.45am-1.00pm* Guest of Honour: *Chan Chun Sing*, Acting Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports. Venue: To be Advised Theme: *“The Singaporean Identity: Embracing the Inevitable? The Relevance of Who We Are”.* To sign up for SGin(C) 2012, please register via *http ://tinyurl . com/sgincsignup<http://e.groupspaces.com/click/2alvs-1ez6m-1mwssrrw1n?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftinyur…> * For more information do visit our Facebook event page: *https://www . facebook . com/events/380106318713929/<http://e.groupspaces.com/click/2alvs-1ez6m-1mwssrrw1n?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.f…> ** *or visit our website: *http ://sginc . ukssc . org/<http://e.groupspaces.com/click/2alvs-1ez6m-1mwssrrw1n?u=http%3A%2F%2Fsginc.…> * We hope that you can partake in this meaningful discussion with us!
