Welcome to the next initiative by the 37th committee -- a rebrand of our iconic newsletter! Um.. I guess we're gonna need someone talented in art to help us redesign the banner on top? Anyone? I hope everyone is having a fulfilling time away from school, either travelling or catching up on work. If you're wondering why you find yourself receiving another issue of KnT after just one week, well, the previous issue was pushed forward to facilitate planning for Thorpe Park, so look forward to more regularly-timed issues from now on! š If you did not come for AGM last month and/or did not vote in the leadership elections, you may be interested to find out a bit more about who exactly your new Exco members are (and how bad their humour can be). Fret not, for we start of the issue with our* individual introductions*! Ranging from really long (*cough *P and VP) to really concise, we hope you get to know us better and give us your support throughout the rest of our term. Need a break from all the studying! Come join us in Hyde Park on 25 April for the annual *Kit-Kat*! Look forward to an afternoon of food (including some of your cravings that have flown the long 13-hour journey from Singapore) and games with your friends. Orders for *Retrospect *are still online at the union shop! Don't miss the chance to own a physical copy of your SingSoc memories, together with additional write-ups, painstakingly put together by the Retrospect team. Remember to play hard and study hard during Easter break! If neither sound appealing, you could spend time instead lamenting the absurdity of how daylight savings robbed you of an hour over the weekend. Your kopi & teh-o loving secretary, Fu Yixuan *The wind smashed a mirror on our balcony so just warning you all that the wind is now unlucky for 7 years.* Content 1. 37th Individual Introductions <#m_-2849783920298265538_1> 2.

Words from the 37th Executive Committee *From left to right (2nd row): Meenatchi Muthu Selva Annamalai, Goh Xian Fong From left to right (1st row): Lu Jin Kai, Zhong Jianing, Fu Yixuan, Lydia He, Zhang Zhi Hang, Woo Qi Hua, Tin Wei Heng* *President* Hi everyone! I am Zhi Hang, your new 37th Singapore Society President! I am honoured and extremely excited to be able to represent us and bring a step further forward for Singsoc! Being the President is a huge step up for me; never have I had such an opportunity to head an organisation of this scale. However, I wonāt shy away from this challenge and will dedicate my time in building a better Singsoc for everyone. š For some of us, Singsoc symbolises our unity, friendship and our culture. The activities and initiatives we organise always put our members at heart. At the end of the day, we want our members to have a memorable, fun and enjoyable experience in Singsoc. I believe that this would not be possible without the involvement and enthusiasm of everyone. Singsoc was made for its people. I hope that through the 37th, we can continue to inspire and provide a greater level of joy as previous batches have done. Looking forward, we do have many exciting activities and initiatives coming up so do stay tuned! I sincerely hope that we do have your continued support this upcoming year and letās strive towards a continuous improvement for Singsoc! *Vice-President* Nasi lemak is very much part and parcel of Singaporean food culture. And you must have had it with the legendary sambal chili, scooping dollops of it onto your plate every time you pop by your nearby kopitiam for your fix of that heavenly dish. Sometimes you will have to sing a few praises to the makcik, and watch drooling as she happily tops up another wad of that oozing goodness. I am Xian Fong, and I am that tasty complement to your nasi lemak ā essential, red hot, spicy, and you just canāt get enough of me. In the year forward, the 37th Executive Committee seeks to bring to you ICSS members a Singaporean experience that is close to all our hearts. Look forward to more initiatives, more opportunities to get together. These chances will materialise in the form of more outings and more recreational options. And we would love to get ideas from you so that we can bring to you the things that you want. As the Vice-President, I serve as your channel of praise and criticism for the ExCo, and at the same time a close friend to you who very much loves to experience our time in London and Imperial together with you. So do hit me up if you feel happy, sad, or even lonely š. And as with every message from an ICSS Vice-President, here is some mention of the annual winter Ski Trip. The Ski Trip is one of ICSSās hallmark events that brings Singsoc members of all levels together. It is a chance to experience skiing/snowboarding regardless of skill level, with your friends and for a very reasonable price! The details are still in the works, but for now we hope that you will continue to give the annual Ski Trip your fullest support, and we look forward to seeing you in December! *Treasurer* Hey Singsoc! Iām your new treasurer Jianing. Iām very excited to take on this role and will definitely not disappoint you guys. In the coming months, we will be delivering fun and exciting events which you would enjoy and so please give us your support! As the treasurer, I will try my best to support the committee in whatever ways I can and ensure that the usage of our Singsoc fund is maximised. Also, I am very open to feedback so if you have anything you would like to raise such as opinions regarding budgeting, feel free to drop me an email! With that, I hope that everyone will be able to find something that they enjoy in our upcoming events and letās have fun together in the year ahead!! *Secretary* Hello!! Iām Yixuan, studying mechanical engineering, and I really like dogs. Iām a huge fan of twenty one pilots, so hereās twenty one facts about me: 1. I love bands like twenty one pilots (duh), Fall Out Boy and Panic! At the Disco. 2. I love watching musicals (Dear Evan Hansen, Hamilton, Matilda, Wicked, etc) 3. I used to be from Chinese orchestra, and I find it hard to believe that no such society exists in Imperial yet. 4. Iām 172cm, but somehow still the shortest Singaporean fresher in mech eng 5. (Iām kidding about doing 21 facts, I donāt think anyone will be interested in all of that, so Iāll spare you guys from it.) Iām excited to be taking on the role of secretary, delivering fornightly issues of KnT to your email inboxes (side note: thank you for subscribing, and drag your friends who arenāt subscribed into doing it!). I will do my best to elevate the quality of your Singsoc experience in the year ahead, and I hope that you will render your support to the committee as well! At the very least, you will (hopefully) look forward to great jokes and lobangs in every KnT issue. š¤ *Liaison Officer* Hi everyone, I am Jin Kai! I am honoured, yet humbled by the opportunity to be your new Liaison Officer. I look forward to bringing you guys updates on ICSS activities and also information on lobangs and events in London. As the manager of communication channels between the exco and the society, rest assured that I am always open to feedback regarding ICSS events and initiatives. As such, feel free to slide into the societyās DMs if you would like to raise any suggestions or give any feedback ;) I am excited to continue the work of creating a home away from home for you guys and I look forward to seeing you all (probably through the viewfinder of my camera) at our events! *Events Officer 1* Hi. My name is Qi Hua and I am the new event officer for this year alongside with Lydia He(*He*). I am studying Mechanical Engineering, and CAD is my weakness. Oddly, my favourite animals is a CAT. In my free time, I enjoy activities such as running, swimming and Muay Thai. In the upcoming year, I look forward to working with all of you to bring you attractive and inclusive events, so do hit me up if you have any interesting ideas that we can organise together! Side note: Sojourn sign ups are opening soon, look out for that!! *Events Officer 2* Hi everyone! Iām Lydia, (*Woo*)ne of your new event officers. I like to go to musicals and museums in my spare time and pretend that Iād run in the evening. I am thankful and honoured for this opportunity, and I look forward to bringing to you more fun-filled events! Therefore, do let me know if you have any ideas or events that you want to organize together. I hope you are as excited as I am to find out what the year ahead has in store for us! (Spoiler: Sojourn is coming up and it is going to be great working on this wonderful event together!) *Major Event Officer* Hi guys! I am Meenatchi, the Major Events Officer! Firstly, I would like to thank each and everyone of you for voting for me and giving me this opportunity to run ME2020 :D ME2019 was a blast for me and I hope to continue this success onto ME2020 too! I think learning and improving is a very important part of my life and I want ME2020 to be as much of a learning experience for me as for everyone in it. As for improving, if anyone has any suggestions and comments about ME2019 please feel free to DM me and I will be glad to keep it in mind. As for those of us who participated in ME this year, I hope to see many of you guys come back to ME2020 to spend time with and help your juniors out! See y'all when summer term ends and the ME grind begins! š *Sports Officer* Sup everyone! Iām Wei Heng and Iām honoured and excited to be your new sports officer! I love to play sports and I aim to help members of ICSS bond with each other through sports and games. I will be striving to make sports and games accessible and friendly for anyone who wishes to play in ICSS through an integrated social media platform which will be set up in the following months. Since you guys will be seeing a lot of me in ICSS sports and events, here are a few fun facts about me. Iām essentially a T-rex, because Iām tall, but my arms are short for my height. Also, Iām not very good at sports, but I play most sports because I enjoy moving about and having fun. So donāt be shy, come and play! Letās have fun and bond through sports and games in the coming year! 2. Thorpe Park Update Hey guys! The Thorpe Park outing has unfortunately been unable to receive the minimum number of sign-ups of 25 people. To all the people who signed up for the outing or were still wondering if you could sign up, thank you so much for your support and do look out for future outings and events!! And to everyone else, donāt fret, there will be many more outings to come! Sincerely, Lydia and Qi Hua 3. Kit-Kat Hey there! Studying got you stressed out? Already feeling too burnt out to start on that next past year paper? Fear not, ICSS is here! Put away your notes, shut your laptops and head down over to Hyde Park on the afternoon of the 25th of April to *have a break, have a Kit-Kat*! Have some fun in the sun and sweat out the stress with some sports. Fill your tummies up with some yummies like snacks, fruits and Kit-Kat (duh)! Or if you crave intellectual stimulation that does not involve the words āfirstā and āclassā, have a go at our variety of board games (which definitely wonāt ruin friendships)! If youāre interested, please RSVP for the event using this link: bit.ly/kitkat2019 <https://union.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d91a1cb130f12317830464586&id=d24d121894&e=030d49d029> and visit our event page on Facebook for more details on the event.
