1. 9 more days to Solemates!

Dear brothers and sisters,

Countdown: 9 days to Solemates.

Looking at the scarce amount of time we have left until the 18th of Feb, it’s easy for anxiety and panic to set in, especially with so many things left to do. However, each time I’m present at rehearsals, I’m encouraged and heartened by the energy, spirit, and laughter of everyone in the Solemates Cast & Crew who put their all into making this Major Event an unforgettable one. To all the Cast & Crew of Solemates, keep up the good work!

For the rest of us who didn’t get a chance to be part of the Solemates production team, not to fear. Tickets are still on sale, and can be purchased from any of your friends in the Cast & Crew. It will be a fitting reward indeed for the production team to perform in front of a full house, so please lend them your support!

At the same time, purchasing a ticket will not only guarantee you a night filled with laughter, entertainment and possibly tear-jerking moments, but also a chance to give to charity. All proceeds from Solemates will go to World Vision, a relief, development and advocacy organisation dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice. What’s more, your ticket will gain you a free bottle of Tiger Beer along with some light refreshments!

If you haven’t got a ticket yet - wait no longer. Click on the links in the next article to find out more, or watch the wonderful trailer on Youtube.

In addition, we are looking for a video camera for the recording of Solemates. If you are the proud owner of a video camera, or know someone else who would be willing to loan their baby to us on 18 Feb, do contact Yijing at majorevent@ic-singsoc.net asap!

Solemates - finding him was no mean feet!  
Have you found yours yet? (Especially with Valentine's Day around the corner :D)   


Love,
Joshua

P.S I hope these pictures from our Combined Warm-up session at last Saturday's rehearsal will serve to portray the 'back-breaking' work we go through!  
2. ICSS Major Event 2012 - Solemates (18 Feb 2012)

Imperial College Singapore Society proudly presents Major Event 2012 - Solemates. 

 
Solemates is a story about a boy meeting a girl, although not in your usual fashion. Orphaned at a young age, Umber was taken in by the Ella family. At first, things were looking great: three square meals a day, a roof over his head, and a place to call home. What more could a homeless street urchin want?

But as time went on, the Ella family started to make use of Umber... He was made to wash dishes, do laundry, and even help the Ella twins with their homework! Bullied and mistreated, Umber yearns for a better life.

One day, as the Ella family does their grocery shopping (with Umber in tow as their personal porter), Umber learns about the Queen's Ball. Men from all across the land are flocking to win the beautiful Princess Cindy's heart, and Umber sees this as his chance for happiness! He waits eagerly for the day to come.

On the morning of the Queen's Ball, his twin stepbrothers, Mozza Ella and Salmon Ella, inform Umber that Pa has grounded him. Despondent and disheartened, Umber wallows in despair, stuck in his room in the basement (close to rock bottom).

Will he get to meet Princess Cindy? Is there a chance of a happily ever after, even in today's cynical world?

There's only one way to find out!

Date: 18 Feb, 2012 (Sat)
Doors open at 1900 h.
Tickets are £10 each.

3. ICSS Spring Trip to Portsmouth (25 Feb 2012)

Ahhhhhh... Solemates is over! 

Well, it will be, soon.

And when it is, we'll have just the thing for you, whether you're an actor, spectator or crew! Because we're planning a trip to... Portsmouth!


If you feel like you're in a rut because of schoolwork, labs, Major Event rehearsals (or you're just too plain lazy to plan your own trip), we've got the perfect cure for you. On the 25th of February, the Imperial College Singapore Society will be organizing a trip to Portsmouth, which, unsurprisingly, is home to a port.

"But, Exco!" we hear you cry out. "What's there to do in Portsmouth?"

Never fear! We've got you covered. Portsmouth is home to a fantastic shopping district, with prices better than Westfield, High Street, and definitely Oxford Street. If retail therapy's not your thing, why not try the huge variety of seafood available all across Portsmouth? Because, as you know, Portsmouth has a port. With fish. There'll be fish and chips, mussels, fish and chips, oysters, fish and chips, clams, fish and chips, fresh, whole fish, fish and chips, crabs, fish and chips, lobsters, fish and chips, and scallops galore. Don't forget to try the fish and chips!


We will be departing from the Beit Quadrangle at 8.00 am on the 25th of Feburary, and we should be back by 9.00 pm at night. For more information about Portsmouth and the things you can do there, click here http ://www . visitportsmouth . co . uk/ to check out the official visitor's website.

5. UKSSC Captain's Ball League updates: 26-10 win to Imperial!

Here's a message from your Sports Officer, Yuxiang:

Hey everyone,

I bring good news for ICSS, yet again!

Today was Team Imperial Captain's Ball team's second match in the UKSSC Captain's Ball Tournament. And it was an exciting match indeed; so much so that I'm sure it would definitely be one of the most exciting matches of the entire league!

The match began with Team Imperial blasting out in full-form from the start. This amazing form saw them taking the lead nearly throughout the entire game. Although the UCL side had several players who had clear height advantages, our side fought hard and managed to execute counter-strategies against our opponents. Even with the UCL team's strong retaliation and heavy defence, our members were still able to score freely. Team Imperial dominated all four quarters till the referee's last whistle, ending the match with a 26-10 win. (This brings our tally to a 100% victory record!)


Our next, and final match will be on 22 Feb, Wednesday, 5pm at Wilson House. Do join us in witnessing our attempt to claim our first-ever UKSSC Captain's Ball Champions title! :)
6. KCLMSS Musical Production 2012: "Uniform: A Fable of Distinctions" (8/9 March 2012)

From the people who brought you Merdeka: The Rock Musical, Beauty World, Love Song For No One and In Pursuit, this year, King’s College London Malaysian & Singaporean Society 2011/12 Proudly Presents...


Uniform: A Fable of Distinctions



Synopsis:
This witty musical comedy examines relationships, ideals, and the search for independence through the lens of class separation.

On the brink of adulthood, two best friends anticipate their coming of age. Lay Kim, a typical Hokkien Chinese girl, has set aside her moving-away plans to take care of her parents' failing food stall. Liz, the English-educated daughter of a well-to-do restaurant chain owner, has decided that she wants individuality apart from her family and peers.

Along with their respective brothers providing humorous perspective, the girls reflect on their formative years to find answers to their problems. Lay Kim begins sifting through past conflicts that affect her sibling and her friendships, while Liz desperately looks for ways to achieve her apparently superfluous goal. As they go along their individual journeys, the girls begin to question the strength of their friendship against the strength of their own personal desires.

9. Hwa Chong Night (10 Mar 2012)

Here's a shout out to all Imperial Hwa Chongians:

Hwa Chong Night (HCN) is an annual event that sees the largest gathering of Hwa Chongians in the UK and Europe! This year, we will be having a fun-filled evening at Piccadily Institute, a club situated in the heart of London.



Each ticket will entitle you to a forked buffet, a free drink (spirit, soft drink, cocktail, mocktail, etc) and admission to one of the most popular clubs in London! The club is exclusively ours from 5.30 – 8.00pm, so have an early dinner and spend the night mingling around and just catching up with friends dearly missed!

Just to clarify, we’re only hosting the event at the club, so it’s not a clubbing event at all. At least not until the after-party! The dinner ends at 8pm but feel free to stay as long as you wish, as the VIP area will be opened exclusively for us from 8pm to 3am. So dance the night away once the club opens proper from 10pm onwards!

Venue: Piccadilly Institute
Time: Doors open at 1730 h, food served at 1800 - 2000 h
