Update on Future SingSoc Events Due to the current situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and government regulations, we unfortunately have decided to *cancel* Kit-Kat, our annual picnic held in the last week of the Easter Holidays. In addition, all SingSoc events in London and Singapore will be put on hold due to the lockdown/circuit breaker currently implemented by both governing authorities. In the meantime, do let us know if you require any support. Remember to take care of yourselves, and keep your eyes peeled for future updates regarding our activities! Lots of love, The 38th Executive Committee 3. Nominations for Major Events Officer Hey everyone! After this year’s Leadership Elections, the role of the *Major Event Officer (MEO)* was left vacant. For just one night every year, ICSS puts up a musical – a production 9 months in the making – to showcase to the Imperial community our own Singapore culture. From the scripts written to the dances choreographed to the music composed, these are all original works by our members. Major Event is a chance for members to get to meet other Singaporeans, and for them to forge lasting friendships. As the MEO, *YOU *will get to oversee this from the start to the end. As such, we will be reopening nominations for MEO together with the Imperial College Union By-Elections. Due to the COVID-19 situation, the hustings would be held online on Zoom, on *17th April* at *2000 (SGT) / 1300 (BST)*. Members who are interested in running for the position of Major Events Officer may begin to nominate themselves. Please take note of the timeline below. Nominations open: *3rd April* Nominations close: *16th April, 0100 (SGT) / 15th April, 1800 (BST)* Manifesto deadline (ICSS): *16th April, 1900 (SGT) / 1200 (BST)* Manifesto deadline (Union): *17th April, 1900 (SGT) / 1200 (BST)* Candidates revealed + Manifesto published: *17th April, 2000 (SGT) / 1300 (BST)* Hustings: *17th April, 2000 (SGT) / 1300 (BST)* Voting opens: *17th April, 2100 (SGT) / 1400 (BST)* Voting closes: *22nd April, 2100 (SGT) / 22nd April, 1400 (BST)* Results announced: *23rd April, 0200 (SGT) / 22nd April, 1900 (BST)* Please email your manifesto to our president, Mein Yeak, at president(a)ic-singsoc.net.

Major Event 2021: Call for Creative Team 'O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?’ Hey everyone! Has SHN unleashed the inner writer in you? I am still as uncreative, thanks for asking. BUT, if you have been inspired by the dramas or books that you’ve been watching or reading during this period, then this opportunity is for you! Rather than complaining about life, why not come up with an idea for *Major Event 2021*? *YOUR *ideas, *YOUR *story, *YOUR *choice of genre – all we ask is that you integrate some aspects of Singaporean culture for us to showcase to the Imperial community and that you give some scope for our talented singers, dancers, and musicians to shine on stage as well! Please email your submissions to majoreventofficer(a)ic-singsoc.net. We are looking forward to seeing them! Words not your thing? Well, worry not – there are other exciting opportunities waiting for you. We are also looking for *Dance, Chorale, Music, and Cast Directors* to fill up the creative team. Head over to www.tinyurl.com/ME2021SignUps <https://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&i…> to sign up now! Feel free to contact Leanne Cheng at +65 8668 6666 or eventsofficer2(a)ic-singsoc.net if you have any queries :) Your drama-loving Secretary, Yuyang 5. K&T Reviews Getting bored from staying at home all day? Fret not! It is I, Moo Vee Fan, bringing you a review of my (current) favourite drama. *Itaewon Class* features the story of underdog Park Saeroyi as he pursues his dreams of becoming the top spot in Korea's food industry. Unlike your typical rom-com K-drama, Itaewon Class does not shy away from discussing controversial topics, which is a breath of fresh air. With an amazing plot and an even more amazing cast, this is one show you don't want to miss out on! A word of caution though - this show is highly addictive, so you best be prepared! I spent the last 2 days sitting in bed watching it. My-eyes-don't-work-anymore, Yuyang Moo Vee Fan 6. More Kaya on Your Toast Craving something cold and sweet in this intense and sweltering heat?

We've come to the final, special edition of the *The Kaya & Toast Times* by the *37th Executive Committee*! It has been an incredible term for all of us in the 37th, and we could not have done it without your support. Our usual procedures for handover have been severely delayed as a result of COVID-19 and everyone having to head back to Singapore abruptly. Rather aptly, this final issue of KnT is severely delayed as well. In this special edition, we will conclude our term by introducing the *38th Executive Committee* and looking back at the work we've done for this past year. Each of us in the 37th would also like to *say a few words* to the people who've helped us along the way; do bear with us for our long posts! (Note: it is recommended that you read this issue on a desktop to preserve the formatting.) A big thank you to everyone for your support in the past year. Against the exceptional circumstances in the coming months, we wish the 38th all the best for their term and do continue to support the events that they conduct! For the last time, Fu Yixuan *Our time serving this past one year, Really, it has been quite a cheer. Dissolved the 37th might have been, COVID-19 didn't let us ORD. Looks like it's finally time to be a retiree Onward to finishing our degrees! * Content 1. The 38th Executive Committee <#m_3926441502904015969_1> 2.

The 38th Executive Committee Following the Hustings for the *38th Executive Committee* and a week of voting, the 38th Executive Committee has been elected as follows: *President*: Siow Mein Yeak, Yue *Vice-President*: Tan Chern Heng *Secretary*: Cen Yuyang *Treasurer*: Merrill Shen *Events Officers*: Gillian Xu, Leanne Cheng *Liaison Officer*: Julian Syn *Sports Officer*: Richard Yang *Major Event Officer*: - For a more detailed breakdown of the votes, visit our website HERE <https://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&i…>. The 37th would like to thank all those who participated in this election, and congratulate all the newly elected members of the 38th Executive Committee! We wish them a great term ahead and hope that the society continues to support them fully! 2. Words from the President, Zhi Hang Dear ICSS, As the 37th officially ends our term and hands over to the next committee, it’s a surreal, yet bittersweet feeling that one year has passed...just like that. I can still vividly remember the time where I just got elected exactly a year ago; time passes by quicker every year doesn’t it? Anyway, I just have some final words to say, some thanks to give, and show some love to the people around me. I am firstly *super super grateful* & proud for everything that we have achieved thus far. I’m just purely amazed at how creative we can be and how we have unlocked our potential throughout our journey. I said at the very start of our term, the role of President is the biggest thing I’ll be trying. ICSS is such a big & reputable society, I told myself that taking over this from capable past leaders such as Bong or Jacelyn will surely be an uphill task. Right now after all that has happened, I can proudly say that it *is *the biggest thing I’ve done thus far. Now that we’ve finished the journey, running for ExCo was probably the scariest, yet the bravest and most rewarding decision I’ve made in Uni thus far. I’ve learnt so much over the past year, about myself, about everyone and about the society. It heartens me to see that ICSS is still thriving and I sincerely thank everyone for their contributions, no matter big or small, that makes this society the place to be for our fellow Singaporeans. I have a lot of people to be thankful for throughout the process...let me first start with the 37th: *To the 37th:* Thank you for embarking in this journey together with me. No words can describe how I feel at ease working with you guys and I’m so glad we managed to achieve so much as a team throughout the past year. From admin to events to ME, I would like to congratulate everyone for doing such a great job together. I know it has not been an easy journey for all of us, but I’m glad that we managed to pull through! I honestly had fun throughout and I hope you’ve enjoyed working in ExCo too! To *Xian Fong*, thank you for being the most firm (yet quirky) pair of hands in the ExCo. I am really impressed by your organisational skills since the very start and how you are always one step ahead of everyone and offering fresh, logical perspectives. Thank you for keeping everyone in check. You are really one of the most valuable members in this team and we can always rely on you whenever we need things to be organised properly. Really great job in organising an unforgettable experience on the ski slopes last year (I literally didn’t have to worry about anything much HAHA)! To *Jianing*, thanks for guarding our money so well throughout. My favourite question throughout the term would probably be “Jianing, got money?” HAHAHA! But in all seriousness though, managing money (and the Union) is really not easy; a certain level of detail & dedication must be put in and I’m glad you’re so responsible about it. People also don’t realise it but you’re also one of the most cheerful people in ExCo! To *Lydia*, thank you for being the creative member in ExCo. Things may not have been the most smooth-sailing for you, but I really appreciate your creative and logical input in ExCo matters. Thank you for also organising fantastic musicals that are enjoyed by everyone; I think Waitress has the highest number of tickets we sold so far right? Also, thank you for consistently working on the dance team throughout ME, I can really see your commitment and interest in leading the freshers! To *Qi Hua*, thank you for being the “can do” guy in ExCo. From what I have seen you always give creative ideas & execute them really well. I find it admirable that you’re finding some fun in your job (ignore the pain of organising them) and I’m really grateful that you’re part of this team. Without you I highly doubt our events would be as enjoyable as it would be. Your positive character helps so much in shaping the attitude of those around you and I can always rely on you when I need a particular opinion about something. To *Jin Kai*, thank you for being a *very, very* reliable team member of the 37th. From all the design stuff, FB posts, maintaining the publicity channels, doing the sotong guide, taking photos, laughing over your dad jokes, having to support Man Utd through tough times… I swear you really peaked when doing the ME posters. Will miss your constant dozing off in meetings! Sorry that I’m quite demanding at times, but I always had trust that you’ll do your job well and you truly did! To *Wei Heng*, my roommate & Aero buddy, thank you for being a quiet-during-meeting, but when it comes to organising, you can come out all-guns-blazing. I’m sincerely impressed at the level of organisation and effort you put into your events. I’m particularly proud that ICSS has done so well in the Sports scene this year; never ever had I imagined of being WSG Overall Champions or having 100+ people for Hyde Park Picnic. Your initiatives have certainly served Singsoc for the better so great job on that! Thanks for also carrying my sorry ass in the Aero course… To *Meenatchi*, I just want to say you’ve done a great job for ME! It has really not been easy to work on this project for so long; I can sense the number of hours you put in just to get everything in shape. Thank you for keeping all the teams and ExCo in check just to make ME a success. I’m also really proud that you’ve been more involved in ExCo over the summer period and I really appreciate your inputs in ExCo matters! To *Yixuan*, *heck I don’t even call you Yixuan anymore*. But yes, I thank you as an ExCo member because you helped to settle PDT & secretariat matters (minutes, K&T, etc.) Thank you for being so consistent and logical towards ExCo, and for always reminding us to submit K&T (including this one oops…) But most importantly, thank you for being my pillar of support during tough times; I can’t emphasise how much I have to be thankful for your encouragement, as well as the constant reminders to vet my minutes & even pestering me to eat at the right times. You also help to comfort me when things don’t go smoothly and offer me the best advice to keep myself out of unnecessary worries. I’m just so glad to have you by my side every time :> There are also quite a few people that I want to thank: My *Aero-gang*: Thank you guys for helping to support me during my studies; I’m lagging so far behind so let's get our shit together hahahaha. I guess I need to make up for lost time to hang out with you guys; sadly our Italy/Scotland plans got derailed 😢 Always a great & fun bunch of people to hang out with ☺️ [Joshua if you’re reading this pls join us more often :( ] My *fellow 68B inhabitants*: Thank you to Esther, Jaynell & Wei Heng for caring about my well-being, always poking me about ICSS stuff lol. It's great to see all of us being so involved in ME this year and I hope you enjoyed yourselves! I also really hope that I could spend more with you guys more and let’s spend the remaining time in 68B fruitfully - although sadly what a premature end to it :( *ME Music Team 2020*: Thank you for so accommodating and being such a fun bunch! I don’t even have any clue what to expect when I first joined. Little did I realise that I got to make new friends in the music team. All of you guys are really talented and I’m just in awe of what you guys do and contribute to ICSS and ME’s success! Special shoutout to *Sean, Howard, Jiayi & Merrill *for being the kindest souls and offering us the necessary help! To everyone in ICSS, a *BIG THANK YOU*! This journey would not have been as memorable & remarkable without your involvement in it. I sincerely would not have asked for a better outcome and I’m so glad Singsoc is still the place to be for Singaporeans. For the freshers, I hope that you have enjoyed your year with us and managed to find something you like and made lasting friendships! For the seniors, thank you for supporting us with your presence throughout and constantly believing in our cause! We sincerely hope that everyone can continue to support the 38th as they rise up to this challenge! To the *38th*, all the best in your ICSS journey! I am very confident in you guys in achieving something greater. The circumstances may not be the same for now, but I have faith that you guys will overcome all sorts of adversities! Never give up on your ideals, beliefs and goals and I’m sure you’ll do a great job in serving ICSS! We’re all here to support you and don’t hesitate to ask for our opinions on certain issues! For the last time...“CAN WE DO IT???” Your time-to-study president, Zhi Hang P.S. I will still manage the LIVE COVID-19 document until the situation gets better. Stay safe and healthy! 😉 3. Words from the Vice-President, Xian Fong I remember that at the start of my term, I was talking about being the sambal to your nasi lemak. I hope that I have helped spice things up a little within ICSS by trying to continuously push our boundaries. But all the hard work by the Exco wouldn’t have been successful without the help of many people. To *everyone in ICSS* and to all who have come joined us in our events, thank you once again for showing such unwavering support for us in coming for our activities. I think we’ve tried to do things a little different, stepped into new areas and let our creativity run wild a little, but you guys have been so welcoming and enthusiastic. The cliché goes that the strength of the committee is shown by the support of the members. And yes, the support you have shown us is really heartening to see and gives us so much motivation to do more for our ICSS community. To my *batchmates*, thank you for putting your faith in me, and us as a committee, to represent you in leading ICSS this past year. You guys have been a springboard for our ideas, and you’ve always been so helpful when we needed help. There were only 9 of us, and with your help, we had so many more brains and hands and legs to do everything. To the *Ski Trip 2019 participants*, you guys have been simply fantastic. We mounted a large-scale mission of 178 people on a trip to somewhere among the French peaks for a week. Looking back, it feels so surreal that it actually happened. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves, because I sure did, and hope to see you again next year! To the *ME Props team*, thank you for being the team that did all the real construction behind the scenes. You guys did really amazing work and it was just impressive how everything came together for a good show on the final day. You are an underappreciated and underestimated bunch, and I thank you for your selflessness and hard work in making ME2020 happen. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there more often, and I hope I have helped a bit by bringing food to props sessions. To Kang Wei and Siting, you guys did good! We managed to pull off a project that was so big it started out messy and confusing but ended up being spectacular onstage. There were definitely times when morale was so low but thank you for pulling through and delivering! To the *37th*, thank you guys for the immense work you have done over the past year. I can say that we dared to step up to the challenge in improving things and bringing new things to ICSS. We’ve had a lot of arguments and intense long-drawn discussions, but after every one of these insane meetings we step out as closer friends. We’ve survived it all! To my dear president Zhi Hang, you have been an extremely disciplined person in bringing the direction we’ve set for ICSS into fruition. The two of us had clashing goals and styles and we’ve had a lot of friction between us at the start, but we’ve managed to run things pretty okay and we’ve definitely come out closer than ever. As I step down as the 37th VP, I think I have found the answer to the timeless question – “what does the VP do?” I now believe that the VP is a strong pillar for the internal workings of the committee, and while the President can be caught up with the liaison and communication with members and other organisations – the outward face of ICSS – the VP is the inward-looking person, continuously challenging ideas and pushing boundaries in what we can bring to our members. To *Chern Heng*, I believe you can fill these shoes as well, and be the meticulous and disciplined person you are to bring ICSS to greater heights. Now it is time to pass the baton to the next committee, and I believe the 38th can continue to push these limits and make ICSS ever more exciting! All the best! Your spicy-like-sambal VP, Xian Fong 4. Words from the Secretary, Yixuan Coincidentally, the 36th sent out their special edition KnT in Issue 06/2019 and here we are, the 37th, sharing our parting words in Issue 06/2020. What a year it has been! *“Secretary after PDT then basically ORD already”* that’s what I was told exactly a year ago. So firstly, Jia Wei, that was a LIE. Joining the 37th Exco has been, surprisingly, the most demanding commitment I’ve ever taken on (considering how mech eng already exists in my life), yet it has been the most fulfilling, for lack of a better word. I’ve edited and sent out KnT issues from all corners of the globe: London, Edinburgh, Poland, Singapore, China, Morocco. It honestly feels weird that from now on, I’m going to travel without having to worry about churning out KnT on a Monday night from my Airbnb/hotel (is this what freedom feels like???). Being able to successfully conclude my term without losing my mind would not have been possible without the support of the following people that I would like to thank: To my *housemates*, thank you for being the best support system I could ever ask for, 10841km away from home. Eugene and Justin, thank you for still coming to Singsoc events (partially because you’re obligated to when 2 (3?) of your housemates are in exco) and for lending me assistance whenever I get overwhelmed (the ticket counter during ME o h m y g o d). To Qi Hua, thank you for being company when we went home together after exco meetings, though the exco talk at home makes me want to cry sometimes because where’s the 公私分明 man. I have seen for myself how juggling mech eng and EO commitments has taken its toll on you, and I have mad respect to you for your dedication and for pulling through. Sorry for always chasing you for KnT writeups when we’re at home. It’s been a joy listening to you singing ME songs in the shower, but maybe work on getting the lyrics right. Now you can finally stop kidnapping my boyfriend to pitch your spring term initiatives to. To *mech eng*: batchmates, seniors, juniors alike, especially those that have claimed BOSS space as their home more than their actual homes, thank you for always being there. (No, really, why are there ALWAYS Singaporeans studying there). I may be suffering but at least I’m suffering with you guys. To Eugene, thanks for dealing with my freak outs and cramming the entire ME1 materials syllabus into one phone call with me. To seniors, especially Andy, thank you for uploading your lab reports and data processing on the drive. I would not have survived all the spring term coursework if not the mech eng google drive. Now that I’m done with singsoc, it’s truly time to get my shit together for mech eng LOL. To *Acad Reps 19/20*: Thank you for coming to PDT, organising academeets efficiently and altogether being a support system for the freshers in their transition to life in your respective courses. I’m sure I speak for all of them when I say that you’ve played a part in alleviating any worries they had about starting uni. Did I mention that y’all have a huge appetite??? It’s frankly impressive how we racked up that bill at the acad rep appreciation dinner. To *Music team*: It has been a major pleasure being your TA in the last few months, and I will always be in awe at the sheer amount of talent that exists among you guys. Thank you for taking me in as a confused and noob fresher last year, letting me fumble around on the drums. Most of all, thank you for letting me experience the joy of music with y’all, something that someone from a CO background like me (and a 25kg instrument) and no proper western music training cannot really do here in London. And please join music team again next year? The biggest *THANK YOU* goes to my *fellow members of the 37th* for making this journey the most memorable one. Some of you have really gone way above and beyond what is expected of your role and spoilt market for future batches of Exco. (Yes, Jin Kai, we’re all looking at you.) I have learnt so much from working with you all and seeing the work ethic displayed by you guys. From our first two meetings that were *SIX FULL HOURS* long, to evening meetings at SMU basement over summer after most of us are already exhausted from our internships, to fighting Union fires, to our last meeting that was 5.5 hours long, I can say with confidence that we are all truly dedicated to this society and want nothing but the best for ICSS. Despite every complaint I make about y’all thinking too much into every single decision and spending hours debating over whatsapp, I continue to have mad respect for you all. It’s certainly not easy juggling the Imperial workload while committing so much to ICSS and seeing you guys do it while making it look so easy made me believe that I could do it too, when the going got tough. There is truly no other group of people that I would want to serve ICSS and do saikang with. To my predecessor *Jia Wei*, thank you for showing me the ropes when I first started out, and for always laughing at me for experiencing the shag exco life. It’s time to finally join you on the other side. To my successor *Yuyang *and to the *incoming 38th*, thank you for stepping up in leading ICSS for the next year. You guys have a daunting task ahead, made even tougher now with the uncertainty over whether the events you plan for can even be executed. But I believe I can speak on behalf of the 37th when we say that we are always here to support you every step of the way! To *YOU*, reading the KnT issues I send out, whether just this special edition or every single issue: Thank you for dealing with my ramblings at the start of every issue (and the really dumb funny jokes that I totally did not steal from the internet). It has been an honour being given the permission to spam the mailboxes of hundreds of people with one click of the button, 27 times. Thank you for looking past the formatting errors I hope you will continue to read KnT and show your support to Yuyang and the future secretaries of ICSS. I counted down to 18 March 2020 eagerly because while Exco has become my baby and I am so truly grateful for this role, it was also time for the baton to be handed down to the next batch. Imagine how tilted I was when COVID-19 decided to mess up my handover plans and the 37th and 38th ended up having to work together in crisis management and support. Now, with almost all members safely back in Singapore and serving out their SHNs and QOs, the time has really come to let go and move on. To all the times I said “ORD LO” but then had to quietly sit myself down to write meeting minutes or send out KnT (i.e. after PDT, Sojourn, ME, AGM), I can’t believe I am really saying this for real when I say for the last time, *ORD LO! * Your genuinely-kaya-toast-loving secretary, Yixuan 5. Words from the Treasurer, Jianing Hello SingSoc!! Thank you for the support you have given to the 37th, whether by participating in our yearly events like Sojourn or trying out our new initiatives like OpenJio! Everything would not have been possible without the big Singsoc family, and I hope that you guys will to continue support the incoming 38th! To the *37th*: Thank you for being such a lively bunch of people! I like how we grew so much closer during the term and are more than just having a working relationship. Thanks for all the laughter, fun and midnight meetings 🙃 You guys are more than what I could ever ask for!! To *Sean*, thank you for always replying my messages so promptly whenever I needed help! ORD LO! To *Merrill*, thank you for stepping up as the next Treasurer! I’m sure you will do a great job! If you have any questions do feel free to drop me a message. To the *38th Committee*, all the best for the upcoming year! There is a lot of room for you guys to explore and experiment with new ideas, so be daring and try out new things whenever possible! We are always here to help if you guys encounter any problems! To the *props and backstage team*, thank you guys for taking the time off to come down for prop sessions and playing your part in Major Event 2020! We all appreciate your hard work. Major Event definitely would not have been possible without you amazing people! Thank you Siting and Kang Wei for taking charge of the team, it must have been stressful sometimes but hope that you guys found it meaningful seeing how your hard work has paid off. To my *housemates*, thank you so much for supporting us and always taking the time to come down and support our events! Nicole, thank you for always staying late to wait for me and helping us with the saikang! Xin Kai, thanks for cooking whenever I get home late! Chen Sui, thanks for joining us in Singsoc! Your cha-ching-cha-ching treasurer, Jianing 6. Words from the Events Officer, Qi Hua It was a year ago. A year ago, that I read through the previous EXCO’s posts about ORD-ing and about how much Singsoc had given to them during their term. I remember feeling afraid of the things to come, afraid yet strangely excited. Everything from then to now seems like a blur. Now, I stand thinking of what to say for an ORD post of my own. While preparing for the AGM slides, I remember having to think about initiatives that we had attempted but never came to fruition. Sadness and dissatisfaction were just some of the emotions that streaked through my heart, opening scars of disappointment that I had long buried. I remember starting off my term with planning a trip to Thorpe Park. A spectacular failure. This rocked me to the core and made me doubt my own capabilities. The Senior’s Farewell Party honestly scared the shit out of me, I feared that I would mess this up and ruin what possibly was the graduating seniors’ last event. 31st May came and I remember my awe as the seniors streamed in and suddenly… things didn’t seem so bad anymore. I did another slide that served to remember the events that we had gone through together as a family. From Kit Kat all the way up to Major Event, memories of each event snapped into my mind. To the people who have shown me their unwavering care and support, this post is for you. To the *seniors*, thank you. If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. Whatever that was made possible in our time here as the 37th was made possible only by the hard work and dedication that was invested by you guys. I had a mere glimpse into the amount of passion that you invested into making SingSoc the family that it is today. You have no idea just how grateful I am seeing you guys come for the events. When I see seniors interacting with the juniors, I see friendships that transcend age and academic year being forged, I become that much happier knowing that perhaps, to a certain extent, the work we have done here as the 37th has helped in bringing this family together. To the *juniors*, it has been an immense joy for me to have been able to meet so many of you and have the privilege to call you my friends. Thank you for the support and participation from you guys for every single event. Without you, the events would never have been possible in the first place. To the cast, thank you for brightening up my Wednesdays and Fridays. Being at a point close to burning out, I wanted you guys to know that you were a key factor that reignited my passion for SingSoc. It drove me to devote more time and energy for ME. You have no idea how excited it made me to be able to work alongside you as a fellow cast member (albeit a small role). To all the *Mech Eng juniors*, the frequent Union trips started to become a much-appreciated respite to my week. I guess that being from the same 98 batch, hanging out with you guys really started to feel natural and any senior-junior boundaries fell away quite quickly. Maybe, I should’ve been here a year later :P (Also… Union twice a week?) To the *incoming committee*, I can’t promise you that the road ahead of you will be smooth. One thing I can promise however, is that you will find out so much more about yourself and the people that you will have the opportunity to work with. The 37th will always be here should you need any help or guidance. I am excited to see what you guys will do as the 38th. Don’t ever be afraid of doing something no one has done before. I have full faith that you guys are going to do great! *Endless roads, endless fun, endless laughs.* From travelling across Europe to travelling up and down the stairs of our house, you guys have really seen me through my ups and downs. To be honest, I had my reservations living in a house with everyone being from the same course. This however turned out better than whatever I could imagine. Thank you for the many hours we have spent being the PUBG dream team (you guys have improved a lot, really am proud of y’all). Thank you for all the times for sitting there letting me bounce ideas off you. Thank you for being there when I went through a rough patch and being there to cheer me on with a batch of curly fries. From my semi-aggressive tendencies to my incessant singing that can be heard through the thin walls, thank you for bearing with me. You guys have taught me so much about myself and what it means to be real to me. I would be very different were it not for you guys. Here’s to more trips around Europe and the many more chicken dinners to come. *“In closing, in a year, I hope that the 37th EXCO will be able to look back and agree that we have grown closer together. An EXCO that did not function just only within their specified job scopes but as an EXCO that truly worked together as one.”* ~ Me, in my election speech, 2019 (Feels good to be carried once in a while) To the *37th*, this year has truly had its ups and downs. When I think of EXCO, I think of our 6-hour meetings, our run-ins with Union most of all the friendships (and relationships) that were fostered during our term. We weren’t the perfect EXCO, but I believed that everyone of us managed to maximize what we did with what we had, and I think that is enough. Looking back at the hope I had one year ago, I can comfortably say that we have grown closer together overall. Many of you stepped forward to help when I needed it most and that is something I will forever be grateful for. As we move forward from here, I hope that we will be able to lend our juniors our help whenever they need it. Signing off, Your loving EO, Qi Hua 7. Words from the Events Officer, Lydia *It’s almost surreal that this long year has come to an end.* *To SingSoc:* Hey everyone, it’s me again :) For the first time, I’m not here to announce an upcoming event, but to conclude my term as (one of) the 37th Events’ Officer. What a journey it has been, from the tearful goodbyes of SFP, till the CNY reunion dinner. Many things have changed in the past year for all of us, but I hope that ICSS has remained your one constant, as it has to me. I would like to thank all of you for giving me this opportunity to plan your events, and for supporting our exco over the past year. I definitely have not been perfect, but at times that I struggle with putting decorations up in time, or making it back to my post at the event, I see friends coming to help as if it was the most natural thing ever, and I feel truly grateful for all of you. At every gathering or party that we organised, we have had help from all of you, be it in setting the furniture back to its original position, cleaning up the rubbish left behind, carrying heavy items around or other duties that we struggled with by ourselves. You all make me feel lucky to have this community that supports one another. Thank you all for being the most wonderful friends, I feel honoured to have been given the opportunity to serve as your Events’ Officer. I hope that you will lend the 38th ICSS Exco the same amount of support that you have given us. *To 38th Exco candidates:* I know that for many of you, it wasn’t an easy decision, and that you have all thought long and hard about this amidst preparation for ME before coming to this resolution. No matter the outcome, I am very proud of every one of you who plucked up the courage to step up and run for the elections. I hope that you have learnt more about yourself during this process, and that you will be proud of yourself for having done this as well. To those of you who have been (or will be) elected as part of the 38th Exco, the upcoming journey will be hectic and full of curveballs, but it is up to you to shape your path. If you ever find yourself needing a listening ear, I will be here to pick up any distress calls. However, I sincerely hope that you find friends in each other, and that the experience will prove to be a fruitful one. Gillian and Leanne, all the best!” *To ME Dance team:* Thank you all for being such a wonderful team. I don’t think there are words that can quite describe how proud I was of each of you when I watched your performance from the audience seat that night. You have all improved so much since the first few practices, and become almost unrecognisable with all those sick moves and A++ acting as calefares. I feel very lucky to be working with such a hardworking team. You guys are definitely better than anything I could have asked for. At the risk of sounding too sappy, I must confess to missing our weekly Tuesday practice sessions. I truly hope that whatever you decide to try for in the future, you will have just as much success with it. *To Jaynell, my dance director:* You’ve been a wonderful person to work with. Thank you for your patience throughout the ME journey. I truly respect your work ethics, and dedication to the team. I have been amazed by the wild ideas you have for the dance items, and your ability to see the overall picture. I think I’ve already said many sappy things to you, so I’m going to end this short paragraph by saying that I sincerely hope that we will get to work together again someday ^^ *To Jenny and Sky, my senior EOs:* Thank you both for being an abundance of advice and guidance throughout my term. You have both been inspirations to me. *To Qi Hua, my working partner:* I think it is safe to say that neither of us were exactly prepared for everything that the year had in store for us. However, thank you for always having my back. This definitely hadn’t been an easy term, especially when both of us have course works due right around the time of an upcoming event. In the end, I’m just glad that we made it through. All in all, I say that this has been a good year. Good job to us :) *To 37th Exco:* You guys are really the best committee ever. I don’t think I can finish listing all the moments that made me feel glad to have all of you. Many thanks to *Zhi Hang* for all the times you gave us the affirmation we needed in times of self-doubt, to *Xian Fong* for being the voice of reason that offers a different view that we needed at times, to *Jianing *for handling the tricky numbers and many transactions so well that we never had to know exactly what you’re doing in your “Finance” folder, to *Yixuan *for the quirky and amusing Kaya and Toast Times (and accepting my late submissions), to *Jin Kai* for being an amazing Liaison Officer, publicising all our events in amazing ways beyond our expectations, to *Wei Heng* for helming the Christmas Party cooking superbly, and to *Meenatchi *for saving my skin in our courseworks and bearing with my complaints. We’ve had our share of problems, but I do think that we’ve done remarkably well in coping with them together. I can’t quite believe that our year together is over. Although 6h meetings are still a little too overwhelming, you guys will no doubt be what I miss most. Your events-loving-37th-events-officer, Lydia 8. Words from the Liaison Officer, Jin Kai "Lu Jin Kai posted in Imperial College Singapore Society Freshers 19/20." Thanks everyone for giving me the opportunity to flood your Facebook notifications and to take photogenic pictures of you at our events. Serving as your Liaison Officer has been an eye-opening experience (ngl because I have discovered Powerpoint functions I have never known while making event posters), and I am grateful to everyone for giving me the opportunity to do so. It has truly been a great honour, and I do hope that everyone would be able to lend the next Exco as much support as you have given to us. To the incoming Exco, always remember that you will have the support of the 37th and we are always a text away! To my *Sojourn Pubs* team, thank you for making the time to make a sick trailer video and OG logos, and for taking pictures throughout the entire event. As one of the big events for our freshers, it was really important that the event went without a hitch and I am grateful for all your support in helping to ensure that! To my *Major Event* Pubs team, thanks for all the mad bantz and sick photos and videos throughout the entire ME journey. Hearing all the laughter, cheers and applause after the show was gratifying, but knowing that we had so much photos to document our achievements was even more gratifying. Here's to photog outings in the future! To my *Photokakis*, thank you for taking the time and effort to help photograph all our events. These are memories captured and frozen in time, and are things that we will surely look back on in time to come. To my *Exco*, it has really been one hell of a ride with you guys. From having 6 hour meetings to fighting fires, from cooking up a Christmas feast to brewing some dope teh tarik, there has never been a dull moment. Thanks for tolerating my terrible dad jokes and for being such a wonderful team to work with. Here's to more meet ups but for good food and a cheeky pint instead of work. ORD LOHHH, Jin Kai, over and out 9. Words from the Sports Officer, Wei Heng Hey ICSS, Another year has come and gone, and it seems like only yesterday that I started planning for my first ICSS event. I started my journey in exco with the intention of bring people closer through sports and games. After one year, and thanks to everybody’s help, I can safely say that we have all achieved this goal. This would not have been possible without many groups of people whom have helped me along they way, and I want to take this chance to thank each and everyone of them. *Sports Reps* To Ethan, Howard, Eugene, Justin, Marcus, Ryan, Samuel, Chris, Jazlynn, Kang Wei and Ian, thank you for doing such an amazing job. You guys are the real heroes in ICSS sports. From camping at the ethos booking site at midnight, organizing regular sessions, to dealing with my spam about posting on ICSS, you guys really put in the work this year to bring sports to the members and I can’t express how grateful I am to you guys. I can only say, many many many many thanks to you guys, and I hope you’ll continue to find joy through your various sports. *Chorale 2020* Chorale!!! Seeing you guys grow from scrubs who didn’t know how to read music, (or sing), to performing in front of a sold-out crowd really warmed my heart. Y’all don’t know this, but when I was watching you guys sing from the side, every time y’all hit the correct note I would jump out of excitement. Thank you for being so enthusiastic about chorale, especially the tenors who are there for every session without fail. You guys made being TA for chorale a super fun job with all your craziness. Hope that you guys will continue to stay close in the years to come. Maybe join chorale next year again :D All in all, it’s been a great year serving ICSS and I do hope everyone has enjoyed the activities ICSS has organized this year. >From your sports officer, Wei Heng 10. Words from the Major Event Officer, Meenatchi Sundaram Muthu Selva Annamalai *We choose to [do Major Event this year] and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too. - President John F. Kennedy* This quote, very succinctly summarizes what Major Event has been to me as MEO this past year. Major Event has been the single hardest thing I have ever done in my life and I am so happy it has been able to organize and measure our creative spirit and hard work as Imperial College Singapore Society and in the larger context, as Singaporeans in the United Kingdom. It is a challenge that I chose to accept when I ran for MEO last year, and one that we, 89 members of the cast and crew conquered on 29 February 2020. I am proud of everyone in the production, especially the first years, who have pulled through frustrating and downright depressing situations to see it through to the end! And come September, I hope everyone is pumped, recharged and ready to support the next ExCo and sweat through another year of ME. As thanks and acknowledgements have been flying over land and over sea over the past week, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the people that I may have not had the opportunity to thank as of yet. *The Men:* That's you! The audience of Major Event 2020! A big hearty thank you to everyone who spent the £12 and came down to support your friends, ICSS and Major Event in general! I hope you guys felt that the £12 was worth it but judging from your reactions on showday, I would say everyone had a great laugh and enjoyed the show and all the elements in it. Major Event, at the end of the day, is only as strong as the number of people that come and watch it, so I am eternally grateful for everyone who came to watch and support the event and instilled confidence in it. I hope you guys will return again for the next iteration of Major Event no matter what shape or form it takes (and who knows maybe someone will make a cameo in it just like Mr 'TIMMY' QI HUA 👀👀) *The Myth:* In my youth, I was quite interested in reading about all kinds of mythical beings - from Hercules to the Elves of Lothlorien to the Devas - but never have I come across the likes of these 8 "people" who have followed and supported not only me but also Major Event for the past year. I have grown so much by just being in the presence of all of you and I am sure Major Event would not have been a success if it were not for all of you. The sheer amount of dedication, initiative and hard work each of you have put in your roles is unparalleled and I can only hope that all my future committee members will be as good as you guys. It will be a while till I have my next 6 hour meeting with anyone but when I do, you will be the first ones I will remember :). *The Legends:* In my term as MEO, I have tried my best to defend and preserve ICSS' niche in terms of ME being a musical and I hope I have done a good job at that. While the demographics of ME may be changing, one thing I have learned on the job is that nothing is ever truly impossible if we try. I hope that you guys, as the 38th ExCo, will carry the torch forward and keep the flame alive for yet another year. Even though you may decide that ME as a musical is not a sustainable venture any more and that is the decision you guys have to make, know that I will be here to stay for another year and am equally as obsessive about ME as Nat is so we are here to help if you need in whatever shape or form you need it. Nothing easy is ever worth doing and good luck for your term as ExCo as I can’t wait to be a participant in the amazing events I know you will organize!

In July 2019, a survey conducted by the British Council in Singapore found that the top three factors overseas students think about when deciding where to stay are the distance to campus, the availability of public transport and rental cost. *Mapletree *is a leading real estate development, investment, capital and property management company headquartered in Singapore, with assets located across 12 markets worldwide.

For those who are travelling, don't forget to tag your travel pics with *#icsswinter* to get featured on our Instagram page! We held our *Christmas Party* earlier this month, and the highly-anticipated *Ski Trip* just wrapped up a couple of days ago. It has been an exciting term of events and some initiatives lined up for you guys, and we're glad to see them well-received by the members. Do look forward to more events coming up in Spring Term! This will be the last issue of KnT for this... decade... 🤯 (wow dramatic much). All the best to everyone with exams in January, don't forget to take time to rest and soak in the Christmas atmosphere amidst the cramming. 📚🎄 For now, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🥰 See you all in 2020! Your kaya-toast-loving secretary, Fu Yixuan *"i don't want a lot for christmas." (later...) "all i want for christmas is you."

Post-Christmas Party Hey guys!!! Thanks for coming down to celebrate Christmas together as a SingSoc family before we all part our separate ways for the Winter Break! We hope that you guys enjoyed the food and activities that were planned and that you had a great time catching up with your friends. We just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and happy new year! We’ll see you next year! Your Festive Loving EOs, Qi Hua and Lydia 3. ICSS Takes Val Thorens What better way to end the term than to spend it with family on the French ski slopes? This year, we had a huge turnout of *178* skiers and snowboarders! Bruises and snowstorms aside, hope we've all had a great time searching for sick mountain views and racing down the slopes. And for the beginners - hope you've picked up a newfound interest in snowsports! Our ski trip is an annual tradition - to spend an exciting week with seniors, juniors and friends on the slopes. See you again next year! Have a Merry Christmas! Your VP, Xian Fong 4.
