Dear Brothers and Sisters, Welcome back! I hope that everyone has had a fun-filled and lively Christmas break, and that we're all raring to go for the new year ahead. For all those who've had exams or are still sitting for them in these first few weeks, here's wishing you all the best in your papers and soon, we can all celebrate the end of stress! Another Year, Another Term. Or so we thought? Although the Spring Term looks to be just one more term of studying and preparing for exams, there's much more happening in ICSS that you can be a part of. First up, our big ICSS family will come together for our *annual CNY Dinner* this Sunday, followed by the festivities of *Melting Pot*, the colouful and vibrant International Fair held in Beit Quad on Wednesday 25 Jan, and finally rounding up this week's events is the final clash with our 'friendly neighbours' MSoc in the *Food Festival of the Who boleh series *next weekend. To top it all off, this Term has *MAJOR EVENT *on the 18th of February! Many thanks to the dedicated Cast & Crew who have been working hard to perfect their moves, memorise their lines or harmonise their voices over the past two months. For those of us who missed out on the chance to be part of the Cast and Crew, don't fear! You'll have the opportunity to be a part of 'Solemates', a delightful and light-hearted story of Singaporeans in a fairytale land, on the 18th itself as tickets are now available! Feel free to approach any member of the Cast and Crew to get your tickets today! Stay tuned to K&T for more details :) <http://e.groupspaces.com/click/1s2yg-1ez6m-1u21i6jyci?u=http%3A%2F%2Ffiles.groupspaces.com%2Ficss%2Ffiles%2F281471%2FPo_kjuL7nSxgTE0nIt76%2Fflyer_1.jpg%3Fview%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_source%3Dgroup%26utm_term%3Dgroup-1361> Finally, here's wishing you a prosperous Year of the Dragon! <http://e.groupspaces.com/click/1s2yg-1ez6m-1u21i6jyci?u=http%3A%2F%2Ffiles.groupspaces.com%2Ficss%2Ffiles%2F281467%2FsyUllDL3Nq2ysDOOWFKW%2Fcny%2Bdinner%2B1.jpg%3Fview%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_source%3Dgroup%26utm_term%3Dgroup-1361> 新年快乐，万事如意，龙马精神，心想事成，学业进步，五福临门，龙腾**虎跃！ Much love, Joshua ------------------------------ 2.
