Updates Hello everyone! Happy times pass quickly and we are nearing the end of the winter break already! T_T But that also means that we have more exciting events planned up for you :D Of most notable mention are our two big upcoming events - *CNY Reunion Dinner* and *Major Event*! If you recall from the last issue of Kaya and Toast, our annual *CNY Reunion Dinner* is going to be held on *Friday, 24 January*, one week before the actual date itself. I believe that for most of us, CNY is a most special holiday that we would love to spend with our family back home. In this city far far away from Singapore, we can seek comfort in celebrating this special occasion with our friends in ICSS. *Sign-ups are open now*! Look on for more details! And also - *Major Event 2014: A Kopi Affair* is approaching! We are looking for friendly *emcees* to help host the show, and also *tickets are on sale*already! Super early bird tickets are at *£8* and early bird tickets are at *£9* each, so do grab them quick! Do come and support your friends of the ICSS family (: Last but not least, do look out from a message from the *Singapore Day*, coming to London this year! Registration is open already so do sign up if you want to (: For those who are studying for upcoming exams, all the best! Jiayou! Your faithful secretary, Siming ------------------------------ Contents 1. CNY Reunion Dinner <#143738822dedef48_143738539dd517cd_item1> 2.

Major Event 2014: A Kopi Affair Happy New Year to all! I hope you've had an awesome holiday thus far! Just some information here from me as we move into the new year. 2 main pieces of information below: *1) Emcee Applications* Emcees are integral in our production. Most often than not, they are the ones who the crowd sees at the start, and hears at the end. They are the ones who will first entertain the crowd, before any of the main cast. Those who have seen last year's show will know that our emcees from last year were absolutely wonderful, making the show that much more complete. Applications to join us as emcees for now open, and will remain open until *29th January 2014*. To apply, simply drop an email to me at majorevent@ic-singsoc.net, stating the following information: Your name(s), number of people auditioning (may be as a pair or in a group of three, or fly solo), and your contact number(s) and email(s). Following which, you will receive more information about the remaining procedures from then on. Do take note that you will need to be present for the rehearsal on 15/2, if possible both rehearsals on 12/2 and 19/2, and of course the show itself, on 22/2. I thank you in advance for your enthusiastic applications for this exciting role, and look forward to working with you! *2) Ticket Sales and Facebook Page* We have officially launched our *A Kopi Affair Facebook Page*!
