Updates

Hi everyone!

I wonder if any of you realised there was no Kaya and Toast last week? I bet most of you didn't! This will be the second last KnT of this term, and the final one will be in two weeks' time so stay tuned! Haha anyway, in this week's KnT, do look out for one entry from Contact Singapore below! And do remember that applications for the Most Outstanding Singaporean Award (MOSA) are still open, you can nominate yourselves or your friends and win a $1000 prize!

Congrats to those who have finished exams... and to the rest who are still hanging in there (like me, T_T), jiayou, the end is near!

Your faithful secretary,
Siming
