Updates
Hi everyone!
I know everyone is busy mugging and you have no time to read Kaya & Toast (I'm assuming you all read it when you are not mugging...) so I shall try to keep this as short as possible!
Don't forget about our annual Seniors' Farewell Party, taking place two weeks later on *24th May (Friday) from 6-10pm at EEE509.* Remember to click *GOING* on your invitation! Our beloved Major Event officer also has a few words to say to you... and lastly, look out for a short message from the National Research Foundation (NRF)!
Keep working hard! As the saying goes: *Mug with passion, mark with compassion*. Hope it works (:
Your faithful secretary, Siming ------------------------------ Contents

------------------------------ 2. Major Event 2014
Hello once again! To recap from last week, the two ideas that we have shortlisted are: 1. Entertainment Night 2. Musical(s) We are in the midst of deciding which one to go for. As the idea of the entertainment night is a new one, here's a little more explanation below: +++ The key points of the Entertainment night are as follows: - To put up a quality, entertaining show - To incorporate more humour elements - Many different acts, pieced together, to form 1 show The show is envisaged as a 'competition' between two teams. They will 'compete' through these acts and items that they put up. It will be a night of items that are pieced together. These acts can vary, keeping in mind the need to put up a quality performance and showcase our talents. Some ideas include (and are not limited to): - Playing a musical piece - Singing competition - Martial arts showcase and performance - Dance item Additionally, we will seek for audience participation. This can be through a voting process, for perhaps the winner of the above-mentioned 'competition'. How the teams interact, the order of the items etc will be planned, scripted and rehearsed. We will rehearse together and practise together. We will be preparing and performing as 1 Singsoc, not as 2 teams. A possible structure could be as follows: 1. Emcees start the night off 2. Team A performs act A1 3. Team B replies with act B1 4. Some Narration 5. Act A2 6. Act B2 7. Time given for audience voting and participation 8. Act B3 9. Act A3 10. Intermission and so on. +++ Major Event is a large-scale event that involves many, and reaches out to even more. As your Major Event Officer, I am interested in your opinions about what we, as a whole Singsoc, should do next year for Major Event. If you do have any ideas that you think can help me in this decision-making process, or have suggestions as to how we can improve both ideas above (the Entertainment Night and the Musical), do let us know, for 31st Exco and myself are committed to doing things that our members are interested in. We are committed to your cause. Its a handful more weeks to returning back to Singapore for most of us. All the best for the upcoming papers, and do know that the Exco and myself, won't go home without you. Yours truly, Chuan Khim Email: majorevent@ic-singsoc.net Phone number: 07544 0821 70
