Digest
Hey everyone!
This will be the last issue of the Kaya and Toast Times for the Academic Year of 2015/16, and I hope it has been a great year for all of you (don't worry I'll be back in 2 weeks)! For those of us who still have exams, do your best for the end is near!
Pre-Departure Talk 2016 will be held on 9 Jul 2016, 1400-1700 at Furama Riverfront Hotel, Venus Ballroom. For those of you who missed the sign-ups for Academic Reps, do look out for sign-ups to attend the talk anyway if you are still interested!
To all of you who have been posting your old items on the ICSS Karanguni 2016 Facebook page HERE, thank you very much! If you were unable to sell them, do consider donating them instead! Drop us an email HERE to find out more!
We have also introduced a new ICSS Sports Group, ICSS Hiking! Email Nicholas Sim HERE or join the Facebook group HERE to find out more! ICSS Hiking also plans to organise a walk along Seven Sisters on 29 Oct 2016 so stay tuned!
That's all for the digest, I hope you enjoy reading this week's issue of the Kaya and Toast Times!
Your pensive Secretary,
Hui Chiang
P.S. Today is James Clerk Maxwell's birthday! Maxwell was a Scottish physicist whose most notable achievement was to formulate the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, bringing together for the first time, electricity, magnetism, and light as manifestations of the same phenomenon.

2. Karanguni 2016
Hey everyone,
Thanks for the overwhelmingly positive response to our ICSS Karanguni 2016 initiative so far. We truly hope the platform has allowed Singsoc members across different batches to connect and buy/sell their items with ease amidst all the summer housing chaos!
While we eagerly await the freshers of 2016, here's an opportunity for YOU to do something totally awesomesauce! If you intend to get rid of certain household items (pots, pans, cutlery etc.) but aren't able to sell it on Karanguni, do consider donating the items to the incoming freshers to ease their transition to London life. If you're interested to donate or just to find out more, contact any of the exco members or drop admin@ic-singsoc.net an email and we'll follow up with more details on collection and distribution of these items. Your small contribution would definitely make a big difference to the incoming freshmen!
Your karanguni man,
Nathanael
