The Imperial College Singapore Society is once again organising UKBound!
Date: 9 September 2011 (Fri)
Time: 6.30 pm to 10.00 pm
Venue: Zouk
UKBound 2011: Lavish is an event which aims to bring together students headed off to the United Kingdom for further studies, for a night of socialising and mingling.
This year, we're going to have a beauty pageant, talent showcases, and crowd games, with prizes, drinks, and so much more. The crowning of this year's UKBound King and Queen will be by majority vote, so come on down to support our Imperial representatives!
Tickets are available at SGD20 for an event-only ticket and SGD28 for a stay-on. They will cost SGD25 and SGD33 at the door, respectively, so be sure to get your tickets early on! Please contact Yong Wen at liasionsofficer@ic-singsoc.net, or any other exco member, for tickets or more information. All tickets come with 1 free drink, and loose drinks are 1-for-1 throughout the event.
All students are welcome, not just those heading off to the UK, so be sure to invite your friends down to join in the glamour and fun!
Here's a call-out from our Sports Officer, Yuxiang:
Dear seniors,
If you think that the this summer is just a boring 3-month break for you to “stone” through, and ICSS would only be focussing on the freshers but have nothing in-store for you... then you are very wrong!
We have not forgotten about you guys. And the first big event in line for you to participate in would be the Warwick Summer Games. Yes, it’s your chance to represent Imperial and fight for our glory again!
WSG is taking place on 3 September 2011, at Hwa Chong Institution. The first programme starts at 9.30am and is projected to end by 7.00 pm.
We are glad to announce that we would be fully subsidising the Games’ registration fees. We are already getting very enthusiastic responses, with our main teams for the 5 sports completely filled up! But fret not - we have decided to register an additional team for each of the 5 sports. Do note that vacancies are very limited, so if you are interested, please contact the respective Sports Reps before 15 Aug!
5-a-side Football – Justin: justinlsb@hotmail.com
Floorball - Yong Feng: chinyf88@gmail.com
Basketball - Qi Quan: chroma_pro@hotmail.com
Netball – Christine: christinehlk@gmail.com
Touch Rug - Jin Yi: jin.yi.low@gmail.com or Yun Yi: yun_ng_yi@hotmail.com
If all else fails, contact me at sportsofficer@ic-singsoc.net
So dust off trainers and gear up for WSG now! For those who are not keen on participating in any of the sports, do also join us at Hwa Chong, be it as a cheer-leader or spectator, for our first major Imperial gathering since the end of last academic year.
Grab this chance to meet up with your peers, and also to interact with the new freshers, in Singapore! :)
Here's a message from our Sports rep, Qiquan:
Hey everyone,
Come down and join us for a fun and exciting basketball session this coming Saturday, 6th August, 10am at Sengkang CC! It will be a great opportunity to loosen your joints (not too badly), tone some muscles and sweat some awesomeness through the display of your talents.
Depending on the turn out, we might be churning up weekly sessions every Saturday or even more depending on your feedback.
Do check out our Events page on Facebook, and RSVP if you are coming: http ://on . fb . me/icssbball01
Hope to see you there! :)
Here's a message from our Sports rep, Jin Yi:
When was the last time you had a game of touch rugby or have always wanted to put on your limited edition T90 soccer boots but never got the chance to?
Well, this short 2 hours touch rugby session is organized just for you!
Date: 13th August, Saturday
Time: 1000 - 1200 h
Venue: West Coast Park
ALL NEW OR EXPERIENCED touch rugby players are welcomed to join us in this event, where you will get a feel of the game, get together with your friends in Singapore or even have a quick workout session after a long week of work or internships.
For those people new to the game, touch rugby was originally 'derived from rugby football in which players do not tackle in the traditional, highly physical way, but instead touch their opponents using their hands on any part of the body, clothing, or the ball.' -wikipedia.
So don't worry too much about the physical aspect of the sport as you won't be leaving the field with a broken nose but instead with a smile on your face. (Just look at how much fun these kids are having!)
More details on the how the game is played can be assessed at http ://bit . ly/mQ9jFO

The Elections Department (ELD) of Singapore wishes to inform overseas Singaporeans that restoration of names of non-voters to the Registers of Electors and registration of overseas electors, which were suspended during the 2011 General Election (GE), have both been resumed.
Non-Voter
A non-voter is an eligible elector whose name was expunged from the Registers of Electors for failing to vote in an election. If you are a non-voter from the 2011 GE or an earlier election and wish to vote in the upcoming Presidential Election (PE), we advise you to apply to have your name restored to the Registers of Electors as soon as possible by using ELD’s eServices. This is because the PE must be held not later than 31 August 2011, and restoration of names of non-voters to the Registers of Electors will again be suspended once the writ of election is issued. Overseas Singaporeans whose names are restored to the Registers of Electors will be eligible to vote in Singapore if they are back in Singapore on polling day.
Overseas Voting
To qualify for registration as an overseas elector, an overseas Singaporean must have his/her name in the Registers of Electors and been back in Singapore for a total of 30 days during the 3-year period immediately before 1 Jan 2011. For those who wish to vote at any of the 9 overseas polling stations in the upcoming PE, we also advise that they apply to be registered as an overseas elector early by using ELD’s eServices. This is because registration of overseas electors will similarly be suspended once the writ for the PE is issued. A registered overseas elector may vote in Singapore if he/she happens to be back in Singapore on polling day.
If you were registered as an overseas elector prior to the 2011 GE but failed to vote in the GE, your registration as an overseas elector would have been cancelled when your name was expunged from the Registers of Electors. This means that if you wish to vote overseas in the upcoming PE, you will have to apply for restoration of your name to the Registers of Electors as well as for registration as an overseas elector. This can be done concurrently via ELD’s eServices.
For more information, visit the Elections Department website. To contact ELD, call +65 6222 1808, fax to +65 6336 2006, or email elections@eld.gov.sg
