President's Message on ICSS Membership ----------------------------------------------------------------- **If you have already purchased ICSS membership, you may wish to skip the following message. ** Dear all, I will like to bring your attention to the purchasing of our Society membership. If you do not already know, our Society membership comes at a mere cost of £5. As a member, you will be entitled to many benefits and privileges. Just to give you a flavour of some of the benefits: * Entitlement to Members-only events (eg. Imperial Ski Trip) * Priority in registration for events over non-members * Subsidies for events (eg. Chinese New Year dinner, Bicester Trip) * Discount card to many popular restaurants and cafes * Opportunity to vote and have a say at OGMs and AGMs * And much more! Hence, the sooner you sign up for membership, the faster you will gain access to all these lovely benefits, all at a very small cost! If the above reason isn’t compelling enough for you, as a paying member for the Society membership, you will be assisting the entire Society in fulfilling a membership count quota required by the Union. Once our numbers are met, we will be awarded grants, bolstering the finances of the Society. This will then lead to events becoming cheaper and better! Much effort has been placed into every single event we organize. Being crippled by finances will mean all the effort will go to waste. So do help us to help you! Signing up only requires a Debit/Credit card under your name, and a few minutes of your time. Instructions are: 1. Go to http://www.imperialcollegeunion.org. 2. Go under 'Clubs & Societies' and find 'Singapore' under A-Z clubs & societies list. 3. Click "Shop" on the tab at the left hand side. 4. Buy the membership for 5 pounds and we'll take care of the rest! To all those who have already signed up for membership, I will like to say a big thank you! I warmly welcome you as a member of the Imperial College Singapore Society. To the rest, please do not deliberate any further and get your membership today! Yours truly, Wenjun ----------------------------------------------------------------- 2. We're Recruiting ----------------------------------------------------------------- This Autumn Term, some of the most rewarding and satisfying openings are available for application!

Come together as current/ex- members of your halls to prepare a feast to kick off the Autumn term. But before you devour all the scrumptious dishes you have prepared, be sure to take the whackiest photos of the food / your group with the food / your group preparing the food and **submit them for our ICSS Fiesta Food Photography competition!** This event is very special and we will be subsidising a part of your food expenses, so your participation in the Photography competition is essential or we will not be able to process your subsidies.

The prizes for the ICSS Fiesta will be given out during our Ordinary General Meeting on 3 Nov 2010.

These are the finalized details so far: When: 6th November 2010 (Saturday) Cost: £10 (Members)*, £12 (Non-Members) Seats Available: 49 Please do note that your seat will be confirmed on a first come first serve basis! Also, ICSS members get priority over the seats so if you’re not an ICSS member yet, do sign up for membership on the Union Website to get a priority place on the coach! Here is how you can register: 1) ICSS members can start to register from now by e-mailing icss.events(a)gmail.com?subject=ICSS%20Bicester%20Village%20Trip. Only ICSS members can book a place on the coach from now until 30th October. However, if you’re an ICSS member and you would like to bring along a friend who’s not from Imperial, you are allowed to book one extra seat for a friend. However, that friend has to pay the non-member price of £12. 2) After 30th October, registration will be open to non-members, so if there happens to be any seats left on the coach, anyone can email to the address above to book your seats. If the coach is already full, I will put you on the reserve list and should anyone back out, you might be able to go on this shopping trip! If you have any questions, please feel free to direct them to me at icss.events(a)gmail.com and I will be happy to assist! *The £10 cost that ICSS members pay is to cover the cost price of hiring the coach.

Message from the UKSSC regarding the UKSSC AGM ----------------------------------------------------------------- Fellow student leaders and friends, I hope everyone is settling well for a new school year. I write regarding the subject, which my committee members and I have been receiving quite a fair bit of questions on. We had initially decided to launch our official website (which would contain the relevant information) on 16 Oct, but I thought it might be better to address the common questions personally first. This informational email is, unfortunately, rather lengthy, so please bear with me. ***1) Write-up of The UKSSC*** Attached is a write-up of The UKSSC <http://files.groupspaces.com/icss/files/32598/Write-up+of+The+UKSSC.pdf>. I hope you will find it most useful as to the what and how of the dealings of The UKSSC. ***2) The UKSSC Constitution*** The second attached document is the Constitution of The UKSSC <http://files.groupspaces.com/icss/files/32599/The+UKSSC+Constitution.pdf>, which I had promised to deliver during my election speech last year. It contains 29 Articles of Association and the Election By-Laws. Most relevant to the AGM would be Articles 5, 6, 17, 18 and the Election By-Laws. Please do take the time to read through them because they will tell you everything you need to know about the upcoming elections. Detailed descriptions of the the job scope of each office is provided. Though all the important details can be found in the Constitution, I have highlighted the more relevant ones in the topics below, for your reading pleasure. ***3) Ratification of the Constitution*** In order to imbue in the Constitution the authority to govern The UKSSC, we would like to ratify the document formally during the AGM. The process will be as such - the title of each Article will be read out, and you, representing your Partner Society, will be asked to demonstrate your agreement with the terms of the Article by way of raising your hand. Once we have repeated the process for all 29 Articles and the Election By-Laws, I will officially proclaim the Constitution ratified, and would request all of you to sign, on behalf of your society, on the Constitution. This will be the official hardcopy original of The UKSSC Constitution. The ratification of our Constitution is a monumental moment for The UKSSC. Thus, to make it a meaningful event, please take your time to browse through the full Constitution, and should you have any objections to the terms, do contact me. ***4) Eligibility of candidates*** All Singaporean tertiary students are eligible to run for office. However, certain positions, like that of President and the Vice Presidents, require candidates to be, at most, in their penultimate year of study. Similarly, certain offices require candidates to reside in the relevant regions ie. Vice President (The South & Greater London) need necessarily be a person who resides in the region of either The South or Greater London, as classified accordingly by The UKSSC. Candidates are required to be physically present at the AGM. No subsidy in transport costs will be provided for candidates. ***5) Important dates to note*** 30 Oct - Registration for candidacy opens 6 Nov - Sending of confirmation of attendance, with all the details of your transport booking as listed above 13 Nov - Candidates to register with The UKSSC their candidacy (with completed registration form and manifesto) 20 Nov - The UKSSC AGM and Elections at the Singapore High Commission in London (11am to 5pm - lunch is provided) 20/21 Nov - Handing Over Session* Candidates are required to commit 20 and 21 Nov (until late noon) for a series of handing over sessions. -- Yours sincerely, Ng Shiyang President The UKSSC ----------------------------------------------------------------- 12. GIC's Young Professionals Programme ----------------------------------------------------------------- The GIC Young Professionals Programme is a intensive one-year programme comprising both classroom-style learning and rotations to experience first-hand GIC's investment and operations. Please view this attachment <http://files.groupspaces.com/icss/files/32604/GIC+-+Young+Professionals+Pro…> for more details. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 13.

ICSS Major Event 2011 - The search for Directors and Scriptwriters ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dear all, The search for Directors and Scriptwriters for ICSS Major Event 2011 continues. Major Event serves the purpose of bringing Imperial Singaporeans from different years, courses, halls and OGs together and it is the biggest and most rewarding event for our Singsoc members every year. Last year, ICSS did a musical which was well-received by our audience and was also a highly fulfilling experience for the participants. For 2011, we will once again be doing a musical for Major Event. This musical will be anchored by the Freshers, and we hope to see the various roles (from directors and scriptwriters to actors and backstage crew) taken up enthusiastically by our Freshers. While the event will be held in March, we are now beginning to ask for helpers for all roles, especially directors and scriptwriters who will generate the script and set the stage right. Assistance and guidance will be provided by your lovely seniors. To those who are interested in joining in the Major Event 2011, especially as directors and scriptwriters, please contact your dear Events Officer - Shuren or Sid - at eventsofficer(a)ic-singsoc.net?subject=ICSS%20Major%20Event%202011 for more information. Seniors who are keen on offering your expertise in the various fields are also more than welcome to join in. Do contact Shuren and Sid to express your interest as well. Thanks! ----------------------------------------------------------------- 5. ICSS Fiesta! - Starting next week ----------------------------------------------------------------- The much publicised inaugural ICSS Fiesta begins **next week**! All seniors are invited to return to their 1st year Halls to join the new freshers in preparing a feast to kick off the term. The best part is, the ICSS is *subsidizing your feast*! To make things a little more exciting, we will be running an ICSS Fiesta Food Photography competition! Before you devour all the scrumptious dishes you have prepared, take the whackiest photos of the food / your group with the food / your group preparing the food. Let your creative juices flow alongside the delicious juices and stand a chance to win delicious Singaporean commodities which will definitely come in useful in the victory feast. :-) ***Start now*** and organize your fellow hallmates to get together either with your senior batch (if you know them, freshers) or with your junior batch (for seniors) to decide on WHEN / WHAT / HOW you are going to win this competition!

UCL Singapore Society Halloween Boat Party - Fright Ferry (26 Oct 2010) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hello everyone! Alright folks, one of the next few events on SingSoc's calendar is the upcoming UCL 'Fright Ferry' Boat Party on the 26th of October! Tickets are going quick but ICSS members will be able to buy the ticket at only £12 (instead of the general £15 price!). The UCL Boat Party is an annual event organized by the UCL Singsoc committee and being united and all, every other Singsoc is invited on board! It will be great if we could all go down as a society from Imperial down to party with our greater London friends on that night. The boat party also has a halloween theme so it's your chance to really dress up! I'll really like to encourage you to dress up because it can be really fun/funny! Some ideas: the standard zombie/monster/witch/dracula, maybe a cartoon character, a whacky or uber cool superhero? Or if you're really uncreative, just get a huge box, cut some holes in it and climb in! Here are the details about the event itself: * When: 26th October 2010 * Where: On a boat on River Thames. Where exactly to meet, don't worry, I'll keep you guys updated! * How much: £12 (if you order soon through us!) * Capacity: 250 guests maximum!

Bryan ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4. ICSS Major Event 2011 - The search for Directors and Scriptwriters ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dear all, The search for Directors and Scriptwriters for ICSS Major Event 2011 continues. Major Event serves the purpose of bringing Imperial Singaporeans from different years, courses, halls and OGs together and it is the biggest and most rewarding event for our Singsoc members every year. Last year, ICSS did a musical which was well-received by our audience and was also a highly fulfilling experience for the participants. For 2011, we will once again be doing a musical for Major Event. This musical will be anchored by the Freshers, and we hope to see the various roles (from directors and scriptwriters to actors and backstage crew) taken up enthusiastically by our Freshers. While the event will be held in March, we are now beginning to ask for helpers for all roles, especially directors and scriptwriters who will generate the script and set the stage right. Assistance and guidance will be provided by your lovely seniors. To those who are interested in joining in the Major Event 2011, especially as directors and scriptwriters, please contact your dear Events Officer - Shuren or Sid - at eventsofficer(a)ic-singsoc.net?subject=ICSS%20Major%20Event%202011 for more information. Seniors who are keen on offering your expertise in the various fields are also more than welcome to join in. Do contact Shuren and Sid to express your interest as well. Thanks! ----------------------------------------------------------------- 5. ICSS Fiesta! - Starting next week ----------------------------------------------------------------- The much publicised inaugural ICSS Fiesta begins **next week**! All seniors are invited to return to their 1st year Halls to join the new freshers in preparing a feast to kick off the term. The best part is, the ICSS is *subsidizing your feast*! To make things a little more exciting, we will be running an ICSS Fiesta Food Photography competition! Before you devour all the scrumptious dishes you have prepared, take the whackiest photos of the food / your group with the food / your group preparing the food. Let your creative juices flow alongside the delicious juices and stand a chance to win delicious Singaporean commodities which will definitely come in useful in the victory feast. :-) ***Start now*** and organize your fellow hallmates to get together either with your senior batch (if you know them, freshers) or with your junior batch (for seniors) to decide on WHEN / WHAT / HOW you are going to win this competition! Seniors require contact information with the Freshers who have just shifted into your ex-hall can email Yu Leng at secretary(a)ic-singsoc.net. * **Fiesta period**: 18th to 31st October 2010 * **Deadline for competition**: 31st October 2010 * **Competition Categories:** Whackiest Photo, Best Caption, Most Halloweenish * **Subsidies (*):** 5-10 people - 5 pounds, 10-20 people - 10 pounds, 20 and above - 20 pounds (*) The subsidy is a lump sum not a *per pax* subsidy. The subsidy will also depend on the headcount of the number of people in the photos submitted for the competition. Therefore, **you have to submit legitimate photos in order for the subsidy to be processed**. If you should have any queries, please feel free to email Shuren at eventsofficer(a)ic-singsoc.net?subject=ICSS%20Major%20Event%202011. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 6.

The UCL Boat Party is an annual event organized by the UCL Singsoc committee and being united and all, every other Singsoc is invited on board!

The boat party also has a halloween theme so it's your chance to really dress up! I'll really like to encourage you to dress up because it can be really fun/funny! Some ideas: the standard zombie/monster/witch/dracula, maybe a cartoon character, a whacky or uber cool superhero?

ICSS Major Event 2011 - The search for Directors and Scriptwriters ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Freshers, Welcome to Imperial College London! While you guys are busy settling down and attending the countless Freshers' Week events, let me just give you guys a short introduction about Major Event 2011: the biggest event for Singapore Society. Major Event is the event that SingSoc holds every year to wrap off the academic year. It is the event that has the highest number of participants across all years. Thus, Major Event serves to facilitate interaction and bonding between Singaporeans across all levels. This year, we will be doing a musical for Major Event. More importantly, this musical will be anchored by you guys. From directors and scriptwriters to actors and backstage crew, every role in the musical will be filled by you guys. I was part of the cast in last year’s musical. Speaking from experience, I can say that Major Event was a fulfilling and enriching event. We had many rehearsals, numerous late nights. We shed tears and sweat for the event. At the end of the day, we feel that the effort put in was worthwhile, looking at the friends that we have made and the sense of achievement. ICSS Major Event 2011 will be held in March. However, we will need to start early to source for helpers for all roles, especially directors and scriptwriters who will generate the script and set the stage right. Of course, we will be there to assist you guys. To those who are interested in joining in the Major Event 2011, especially as directors and scriptwriters, please contact your dear Events Officer - me or Sid - at eventsofficer(a)ic-singsoc.net?subject=ICSS%20Major%20Event%202011 and we will give you more information.

19 Sep '10

Contents ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1. President's Note 2. Activities for Freshers 3. Imperial Ski Trip 2010 4. ICSS Fiesta (Halls) 5. A message from our Sports Officer.. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1. President's Note ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Singaporeans, The start of autumn term 2010 is merely a week away and I am sure everyone is eagerly looking forward to the start of the new academic year. I hope that the summer break has been a meaningful and enjoyable one for everyone. The night of 9th September saw the conclusion of Allure, the finale of our medley of summer events. For all of you who were there to join us for UKBound, I hope that the night was as enjoyable for you as it was for the committee organizing the event. Let me take this opportunity to congratulate Ms Amanda Chin and Mr Jason Cheng for the excellent show they put up in representing Imperial College Singapore Society at the pageant, and a job well done to Jason for bringing home title of Mr Congeniality. At the same time, I would too like to congratulate the sportsmen and sportwomen of ICSS who fought hard to bring glory to the society. The results for the five sports are: Touch Rugby - 1st Football - 2nd Floorball - 3rd Netball - 5th Basketball - 5th Overall - 3rd (out of 9 represented universities) A big thank you also goes out to all the seniors who took time off to help out with the pre-departure briefing at Raffles City as well as Sojourn 2010 at Sentosa. I am sure many of you thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity of getting to know our freshers. It is the time of the year again to herald in the new batch of freshers. As seniors of the society, we have all been through this phase filled with excitement and uncertainty. Let us come together as a society and warmly welcome the freshers to our family over in London. I hope that every senior will be generous and forthcoming in lending a helping hand to the freshers and get them settled into the new environment as quickly as possible. This has always been a tradition of the ICSS and let us proudly hand this down to our juniors. The new academic year also signifies the start of the chain of events the ICSS will be hosting in London. The month of October will be a jam-packed one from beginning to end, starting from Fresher’s Pick-up and Walkabout on the first weekend. In the second weekend, OGLs will once again be called into action for Fresher’s Tour. This will then be followed by Fresher’s Picnic on the third weekend, where we will be looking to host a number of friendly sports matches against our neighbours in London. Capping off the activities in October will be the new ICSS Fiesta! Read on in this prelude to Autumn of Kaya and Toast to find out more about all the exciting activities this October. I wish all of you a great start to the upcoming academic year. On behalf of the ICSS executive committee, I look forward to meeting all of you over in London. Wenjun ----------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Activities for Freshers ----------------------------------------------------------------- As work begins to set in with the start of the academic term, don't forget to take breaks to keep the stress levels low and the happy index high. Why not join us in making the Freshers part of our ICSS family? We have the following activities planned up specially for Freshers and we hope to see you there too in the fun! So mark these dates on your calendar now.. :) *1. Freshers' Pick-up (2 Oct 2010, 8 am)* Once again this year, we will be picking up the Freshers' from the airport and sending them to their halls! If you are taking the flight SQ 322 that lands at 05:55h on 2 Oct (or any other flight that suits the pick-up time), we welcome you to join us on our Freshers' shuttle bus. There will be a trailer together with the bus to ensure sufficient space for lugggages. Do note the following -- (1) the bus will leave Heathrow at 8 am, (2) we will be receiving the Freshers' outside the Departure Hall and (3) the bus will be going to the main areas of Wilson House, Evelyn Gardens and Princes Gardens. If interested, please contact me at secretary(a)ic-singsoc.net?subject=Freshers'%20Pick-up%20 by 27 Sept 2010. *2. Freshers' Walkabout (2 Oct 2010, 12-4 pm)* A short and sweet walkabout to familiarize our Freshers with their surrounding neighbourhood. Be that senior to share your wealth of knowledge about living in London with the Freshers and I'm sure they will appreciate it greatly. *3. Tour London (9 Oct 2010)* Take this opportunity to discover about the latest batch of Freshers as each OG goes on thier own exciting journey of exploration around London. The suggested route includes places like Westminster Bridge, Buckingham Palace, the London Eye.. as well as 'attractions' like Oxford and Regent Street! *4. Freshers' Picnic (16 Oct 2010)* Get your picnic mats ready and sport attire as ICSS sets off to Hyde Park for our annual Freshers' Picnic. This year's will come with a twist - more information will be provided in the next issue of Kaya and Toast! Watch out! ----------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Imperial Ski Trip 2010 ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Imperial Ski Trip 2010 is one of the most exciting events on the ICSS calendar. What better way to escape the gloominess of winter than to Ski! Here are the details: * **Time and date**: 17th December evening to 26th December morning (i.e. just in time for boxing day sales!) * **Place**: Likely to be Flaine Altair (newly renovated + very beginner friendly) * **Price**: 540 – 570 pounds + ~25 pounds if you are a beginner What’s included in the price? - Accommodation - All meals (including lunch) - 12 hours of lesson (23 hours if you are a beginner) - Ski equipment rental - Ski lift passes - Return coach from London Victoria to Flaine Altaire - Etc. What’s not included? - Insurance - Ski jacket/pants (you can buy your personal ones or rent it cheaply through us) If you are interested, please email vicepresident(a)ic-singsoc.net by 27th September, stating your name and whether or not you prefer the beginner/intermediate course. We need to know what the response is like to facilitate the planning (and bargaining)! Though this does not count as the final confirmation, places at the resort are limited and it will help a lot to express interest early! ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4. ICSS Fiesta (Halls) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Start the new academic year with a bang this autumn by cooking up a storm! We are inviting all seniors to return to their 1st year Halls to join the new freshers in preparing a feast to kick off the term. The best part is, the ICSS is *subsidizing your feast*! The ICSS Fiesta will be a series of cooking competitions which will be running through the entire academic year. To make things a little more exciting, we will be running an ICSS Fiesta Food Photography competition! Before you devour all the scrumptious dishes you have prepared, take the whackiest photos of the food / your group with the food / your group preparing the food. Let your creative juices flow alongside the delicious juices and stand a chance to win delicious Singaporean commodities which will definitely come in useful in the victory feast. :-) * **Fiesta period**: 18th to 31st October 2010 * **Deadline for competition**: 31st October 2010 If you should have any queries, please feel free to post them to any executive committee member or simply send an email to secretary(a)ic-singsoc.net. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 5. A message from our Sports Officer.. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Friends, Calling for all sport enthusiasts! ICSS will be having numerous sports events in London. There will be regular badminton, tennis, floorball, football and touch rugby sessions throughout the year. Therefore, **please bring your rackets, shoes and sport equipments**!! Nottingham Games, the biggest sports event amongst the Singapore societies in UK, will be held on 13 November 2010. We will be travelling down to Nottingham as a society to compete with other colleges’ Singapore Societies for honour and glory. However, having fun and getting together is always the main aim for any ICSS’s event. There will be sports from football, badminton to games like amazing race. More details will be confirmed. See all of you in London!

Our dedicated floorball representative, Yong Feng, has put in a lot of effort and time into organising this fun and practice session. He will be forming teams to represent ICSS in Warwick Games. We hope to see you there! Interested freshers, peers and seniors please contact Yong Feng at chinyf88(a)gmail.com. All levels of players are welcome, including those who don’t even know the rules (like me!). Yong Feng and his team will tell us the rules and coach us for free. If you are unable to make it for the Warwick Summer Games (04/09/2010), you are still more than welcome to join us. Do contact Yong Feng as soon as possible as he needs to know the number of people who are coming.
