Hi everyone! Well it's not really SOS per se, but we do need help! If you are in Singapore and find yourself zoning out in the summer heat too often with nothing to do, swatting flies in the monotonous heat itching for some excitement, volunteer to help out for UKBound today! Whether you have event management experience or not, this is a great opportunity to learn and make some friends in the process:) If you are interested, check out some of the roles you can sign up for below: *Pageant coordinator (Number of places: 2) * Fancy running a pageant?

And you'll get that sweet sweet sneak peak at our glamorous contestants in their gorgeous costumes way before any of us! If this sounds like your kind of thing, sign up today! *Sales Team * Ever missed an awesome event because you didn't even know it was happening?

Save ukbound from abject despair... *Crowd control/interaction promoters* Calling all socialites and really cool and funky people! UKBound is ALL about interaction and mingling, and what better way to contribute by being part of the audience, jumping into the fray and making friends with tonnes of people? While you won't be involved in the planning, we will be enlisting your help as interaction promoters to help us out during the games to promote participation and to bring strangers together as friends:) free karma up for grabs, yo. Not to mention the number of friend requests on Facebook after;) Help us make UKBound an awesome event for the freshers going to UK next year!

The Weekly Kaya & Toast -- Summer Term Week 9
by Gabriel Quek 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Updates Hi everyone, Our logo design competition voting has been open since last Saturday, so what are you waiting for? Vote now, and vote responsibly. Voting closes this *Sunday, 1st July*! So do not tarry! There are also more details for our Pre-Departure Talk out down below, which our FRIENDS should take note of, especially those who will be involved on that day. And finally, it seems that whilst we have been mugging our heads off in London, the online and social media in Singapore is, once again, in a frenzy, this time spawning memes as if there's no tomorrow, with each 'faction' having its own supporters and dissenters. The strong voice of the online citizen can clearly no longer be ignored by society, or even by the government. I mean, it seems like for every new issue of the KnT, there is some new incident to be discussed. Surely this is a disturbing trend? How will the government react to this rise of online and social media? How can we turn this into a positive, cohesive force? Honestly, many of our parents' generation are astounded by this pace of change. Perhaps it has come to us to make our views heard. Let's make it happen, at the DPM dialogue. Your faithful secretary, Gabriel ------------------------------ Contents 1. Dialogue Session with DPM Teo Chee Hean <#1382b702cb7b5386_item1> 2. Logo Design Competition <#1382b702cb7b5386_item2> 3.

The Weekly Kaya & Toast -- Summer Term Week 7
by Gabriel Quek 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

Updates Hi everyone, It's been such a long time, hasn't it? I hope that everyone's exams have been going well. For those who still have papers remaining, all the best! So as expected, we have *tons* of updates for you all, due to our long absence from the real world. And here they are: 1. Check out the Point Hope Book Prize, looks like a nifty offer. And specially for ICSS too. How nice. 2. Our Pre-Departure Talk details are out 3. Logo Design Voting opens this Saturday 4. SFP was awesome, thanks for coming 5. There's a special Medical School event coming up 6. Summer is upon us! Yes, it is. The sun is unreliable these days. So, check out your storage options and the classifieds page! 7. Our usual career stuff is up too 8. And the UKSSC is looking for Singapore Polytechnic and Republic Polytechnic alumni to share their UK experience Hope that wasn't too much of an information overload. But just hang in there, the end is in sight! Because, last but not least, we have the hottest item on this KnT! Not the Toast, but the Dialogue Session with DPM Teo Chee Hean. The recent spate of blogger controversies, including one which involved DPM Teo himself, renders this dialogue session ever more urgent and relevant. Social media has the potential to create greater social cohesion, or to aggravate social disharmony. It gives the people greater voice, but will they use it wisely? In Singapore's case, we are the generation that determines the norms of online social behaviour. These norms will shape our society, for better or for worse. Whether you are a genuinely concerned citizen, or the typical kaypoh Singaporean, this dialogue is really a chance to hear it all first hand from none other than DPM Teo, the man of the moment. DPM Teo has previously engaged many different audiences on the implications of social media on society. (Examples include the annual Dialogue for the Community Engagement Programme; and Singaporeans in Conversation 2011 "Your Next Move: Youth Politics and the Future" dialogue) At the same time, this dialogue is also a chance for us to express our opinions on the issues at hand and our suggestions as to how they could be handled. For although DPM Teo has experience in government and policymaking, we may have better perception of the ground and upcoming trends, since we all practically live on Facebook. So yeah, sorry for saying the end was in sight. Seems like I can see a pretty long way. By the way, the DPM Dialogue Session comes with dinner. And dinner is always good. (: Hope to see you there!

The Weekly Kaya & Toast -- Summer Term Week 2
by Gabriel Quek 11 May '12

11 May '12

Updates Hi everyone, The end of the academic year is in sight! What better way to celebrate than to gather with your friends and come down for a final farewell to all who are graduating this year, by signing up for Seniors' Farewell Party on the 26th of May (Sat)? Major Event 2012 T-Shirts will be given out then! It promises to be an evening full of fun, laughs and reminiscence. But most importantly, this is the final chance in London to surround yourself with friends, many of whom have been as close as family in our second home. Even sooner is the submission deadline for the 30th Anniversary Logo, so do not tarry and put all that free time (for those who have completed their exams) and amazing design skills to good use! Finally, it is rare that we get the chance to engage one of our country's key figures in a personal, face-to-face dialogue setting, on a topic that is increasingly relevant to our generation. The hard truth is that the rise of social media and its impact on society over the past few years has been simply phenomenal. It is a topic close to our hearts and our daily habits. What does this mean for our society? What does this mean for the future of Singapore? Find out more at the DPM Dialogue. Details are below. Thanks for reading (: Gabriel ------------------------------ Contents 1. Dialogue Session with DPM Teo Chee Hean <#1373c513471cae9d_item1> 2. 30th Anniversary Logo Design <#1373c513471cae9d_item2> 3.

SGin(C) Message from the UKSSC: Singaporeans in Conversation (SGin(C)) is looking for an organising committee for the forum this year. With the theme set as "The Singaporean Identity: Embracing the Inevitable? The Relevance of Who We Are", SGin(C) is prepared to take the debate over the Singaporean identity to a whole new level, exploring the vulnerability of our national identity to outside influence. The recently concluded watershed elections surfaced a gnawing concern among many Singaporeans - immigration. Consequently, immigration brings with it an influx of foreign culture, the polemic question is: do we insist on our own values and cultural norms or do we embrace the inevitable? Should we integrate the immigrants' culture into ours or should the onus be on them to integrate into society? Do we adapt or resist? Those questions will remain unanswered unless you get involved. So please fill in this application form if you wish to join the organising committee (SGin(C) Committee Application Form<http://e.groupspaces.com/click/230ae-1ez6m-km40je62y?u=http%3A%2F%2Fe.group…> ).
