Message to all Imperial brothers and sisters! ----------------------------------------------------------------- A message from the Exco... Brothers and sisters, In the midst of our intense mugging sessions, we would just like to say, **ALL THE BEST** for your upcoming exams! Fly the Singapore flag high, do us proud, and try not to own the rest too badly. ;) *"Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers (and sisters)! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight!"                - Aragorn* Have faith, and here's looking forward to days of endless char kway teow/ chwee kueh/ chicken rice (your favourite food here) back in Singapore! Much love, ICSS 29th Exco * View image: * <http://files.groupspaces.com/icss/files/97769/qaq_osUpqxD5FEF1jlO3/IMG_7176.JPG?view&size=sw> ----------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Senior's Farewell Party ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Senior's Farewell Party is this Saturday! **Venue: Beit Union Dining Hall (2nd floor above Metric)** **Time: 1830 onwards** Come on down for a night of fun games and good food, as well as a chance to say goodbye to your seniors. Amidst all the studying, don't forget to take a break! The crowning of the **Iron Chef Imperial** will also be taking place on Saturday, so don't miss out on this history-making event. *Are you chef enough?* * * *Incredibles Posting Orders* Everyone who applied to be an Incredible will be receiving their posting orders this Saturday night. We've spent lots of time composing personalized letters to each of you, so don't forget to be at the Senior's Farewell Party at the Beit Dining Hall! ----------------------------------------------------------------- 3. ICSS Major Event 2012 ----------------------------------------------------------------- How has your mugging been? While trying your best to find your data sheet among the sea of paper, why don’t you take a break? Have a kitkat and think about the fun and joy of the **Major Event** next year! Next year, we are planning to do a sub-event *in addition* to our Major Event to generate publicity for ICSS as well as Major Event itself. Something different, something more creative... Maybe something like the agar-agar that our seniors did! If you have any ideas such as constructing our Singapore island with Lego bricks, breaking the record for the most number of people mugging at Queen Lawn in the bitter winter, or simply making a gigantic mosaic out of the different types of coffee we have in Singapore, please feel free to spam my email inbox. For those who have enjoyed our major production this year, fret not - the musical is here to stay. However, we would need your creative juices to help get our production preparation rolling! I am looking for **themes for the production**: it could be anything ranging from family to love to friendship to vengeance. If you have any themes, ideas or simply suggestions to help us improve, please feel free to email me at majorevent@ic-singsoc.net. Happy mugging and may you have the best exam results! :) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4.
