Hello there!

Welcome (back) to school! 📚 I hope everyone is settling in nicely. To those who are joining us for the first time in this issue, welcome to Imperial College Singapore Society! Thank you for dropping by our booth during Welcome Fair, and we look forward to seeing you guys at our upcoming events! The Kaya and Toast Times is our fortnightly newsletter to keep you in the loop about our events and share food/shopping lobangs (Singlish for "deals")- scroll to the bottom for More Kaya on Your Toast 😋).

This is a pretty long issue, but we've got a whole list of exciting events planned for everyone so do bear with us and read on! 😁

That’s all from me this time, see you guys around school!

Your kaya-toast-loving secretary,
Fu Yixuan

2. Hyde Park Picnic

 
 
Hey ICSS! Hyde Park Picnic is back!

As ICSS’s first official event during the academic year in London, Hyde Park Picnic gives members a great opportunity to catch up with friends, or make new ones over food, games and sports while enjoying the last days of autumn.

This year, HPP is turning up the flavour factor with incredible snacks from home like salted egg chips, iced milo and ice gem biscuits. Chase away the nostalgia of home food by engaging in sports with your friends such as Captain’s ball, Ultimate Frisbee and football. If you prefer to be stimulated (intellectually) while having fun at the same time, have a go at ICSS’s board game collection with your friends while munching on food.

Regardless of what you like, Hyde Park Picnic is the perfect event for you to have fun and make new friends. You can even vote for what food you want to see more of on the event page.

So head over to the Facebook event page here, click going, vote for the food you want, and get ready for an incredible afternoon!

Event details are as follows:
Date: 19 October 2019
Time: 1500-1800
Location: Hyde Park Old Football Pitches


See you there!

3. OpenJio

“Jio” - popularly used in Singlish, meaning “invite”
“Open Jio” - means “open invitation”
 
We are introducing something new to ICSS this year! OpenJio: is a series of cool & interesting mini-events which can range from movie outings and day trips to karaoke, cookouts and mahjong sessions! And of course all these are open jios!! Bring your groups of friends along and we can all have fun together. Some of these also come with nifty discounts that members can enjoy :)

What's even better is that anybody can start an OpenJio: - if you have an activity you want to find people to go with, just pop a message to Xian Fong or email vicepresident@ic-singsoc.net and I can help you get some publicity in for an open jio!

Just this past weekend, our first OpenJio: was a movie outing to watch Joker on the Superscreen at Cineworld Leicester Square. We had discounted tickets for everyone and we had dinner together at Old Town 97 after the show!


 
Our next OpenJio: is coming up this coming Tuesday! Organised by Nathanael, our Year 3 member, The Art of the Pub is a pub crawl starting at the IC Union Bar at 8pm and ends in Fulham, stopping by a curated selection of pubs along the way. This is a great way to get a little more familiar with the area (for the freshers) and have a good time with friends old and new. Bringing all your friends is a must. RSVP and more info here - https://www.facebook.com/events/684377435307878/

Don’t say bojio!

All open jio and no pang jio,
Xian Fong

4. Halloween Party


Hey everyone! 

It’s finally the month of October, Halloween Party is here! Scheduled for 29th October, from 6pm till 9pm. Join us for an evening of food, games, and competitions with attractive prizes to be won!

First up, because it is Halloween, we are going to have our very own costume competition! The best dressed will win a pair of THORPE PARK FRIGHT NIGHT TICKETS! (UP: £66, the tickets are for 2nd Nov, so mark out that date!) 👻
Have a love for all things crafts? Well, we have a pumpkin-carving competition for you too! 🎃
Isn’t it such a waste of your splendid costumes it would be if you don’t gram it? That’s why we also have a photo booth with free printing services! 📸
What’s a party without food? So, we are going to have some food and refreshments catered! We also totally encourage you bringing a little something to the party too. 😋
After the event ends, we will even be doing a movie screening! Go onto your year’s Facebook groups to vote so that we know what you want to watch. 🎬

More information will be coming out soon, so please watch out for them! Sign-ups close on 18th October, do so now at tinyurl.com/icsshalloween2019!
