To all ICSS members,
ICSS will be organizing a trip to one of the popular musicals in the coming weeks. The title of the musical, time and venue has yet to be finalized. However, let me just give all of you a simple understanding of the way that we are going to release the tickets.
Once I have the details of the musicals, I will post it on the Kaya and Toast, which will contain information regarding the purchase of the tickets. Tickets will be sold on a first-email first serve basis, so keep a lookout on the Kaya and Toast for the following weeks.
Any queries please direct it to me at shurenlin@hotmail.com.
Regards,
Shuren.
To all freshers,
As promised, ICSS will be organizing a karaoke session. This session will most likely be held in the first week after the Christmas break. In order to get new ideas from the freshers, we are now recruiting for freshers to form the organizing committee for this event. Thus for those who are very enthusiastic about the event, do sign up for it and make it a memorable one.
This karaoke event is called “Talk Cock Sing Song” and it will be held in school. I will need freshers to assist me in organizing it be giving me ideas about it and making it more interesting. Do not worry about commitments as all it takes is a few meetings to finalise the details. Any questions be feel free to contact me.
To sign up, just email me at shurenlin@hotmail.com. I will contact you shortly to give you more details.
Regards,
Shuren.
Ever felt an urge to gun down someone just to release academic stress? Then paintball is the (legal) answer to your woes!
ICSS will organize a society paintball-ing event and if you'll like to be part of the warfare and smell some blood, then e-mail me (icss.events@gmail.com) right now to express your interest! We are still open to interested participants :)
