Hello everyone!

Happy Valentine's Day! <3 Hope that all's been going well so far! (: 

In this week's issue of Kaya and Toast, we release details of our Annual General Meeting (AGM), to be held this year on 5th March (Wednesday), 12.30pm. The AGM is one of the most significant events in our calendar - it is where the 31st Exco will give a recap on everything we have done for you in the past year, and where the 32nd Exco will be elected in for the next year. More details will be released next week, but for now, mark this date down on your calendar! :D

In addition, do not forget to buy tickets to our biggest event of the year - Major Event 2014: A Kopi Affair! Many of our fellow society members have been putting in a lot of hard work in order to make this production a success, so do come down and support! Watch the trailer here and buy tickets here! 

Lastly, look out for the careers and advertisements from other schools!

That's all for this week, have a lovely week ahead! (:

Your faithful secretary,
Siming
