Digest

Hello there!

First of all, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Teo Jia Wei, the secretary for the 36th Executive Committee. I am extremely excited to be bringing to you the first issue of the Kaya and Toast Times by the 36th Executive Committee! Do look forward to even more exciting issues going forward!

Don't know who the 36th Executive Committee members are yet? Our introductions, short and sweet, will hopefully give you a prelude into our charming and diabetes-inducing personalities. Do give them a read, and if you want to know more, don't hesitate to contact us!

With the holidays finally here, I'm sure most of us are just itching for some healthy procrastination. So why not occupy your time thinking about Major Event 2019? Submissions of prospective scripts are now open!

Do you sometimes reminisce about your days as a fresher (secret or real), wondering where all the time went and hoping you could go back in time? Well then, Sojourn 2018 is your chance! Sign up in a wide variety of roles for Sojourn 2018 and have a hand in welcoming the incoming class of freshers!

With the new committee term ahead of us, the 36th Executive Committee wants to hear from you! Our events are catered for your enjoyment, and your feedback means everything to us. Tell us how to improve using the form provided in the Feedback section!

Party hard and study hard during the Easter Holidays, and always remember: if you're travelling, buy food back to share! :)

With ~~warm~~ protein-denaturing-temperature regards,
Teo Jia Wei

I will make horrible science puns, but only periodically.

2. Kit-Kat

Already feeling stressed over exams in June? Well fret not! ICSS has got you covered. In the midst of your travels and revision, do keep the afternoon of 26th April free to 'have a break, have a Kit-Kat', and most importantly, take a breather from revision to have some fun and games at Hyde Park!

Kit-Kat is an annual ICSS event for members to take a break from their exam revision during Spring Break, for fellow ICSS members to catch up over sports and board games, and for everyone to have a good time. Light snacks will be provided as well!

Do RSVP for the event here and visit our event page on Facebook to find out more details!

Evacuate the city, engage all defenses, and get this man a Kit-Kat

Your 'missing out on Infinity War Premiere to organize this event' Sports Officer,
Andy
