UKBound 2016

UKBound is an annual pageant organised by the Imperial College Singapore Society, primarily for Singaporean students heading to the UK for their studies. This year, Kingsley and Serena represented Warwick Singapore Society. 

"UKBound 2016 was one of the best takeaways I had before leaving Singapore to study in the University of Warwick. At the beginning, I was really uncertain whether or not to participate in this pageant as it the training was really intense: we only had 3 weeks to put up a good show. Lots of commitment, dedication and sacrifice was put into this, ranging from trying to look good for the camera as I continue to sweat profusely under the hot sun to training till past midnight and lastly, the toughest one - keeping a really healthy diet. Pushing away the temptations to just gobble down ice creams, cakes, fried chicken, french fries etc, it really tested my mental strength. It was even harder than serving the army (at least I get ice cream in military camp). Nonetheless, all these hardships were worth it. I will never forget the memories and friendships forged because they were the most important aspect of my experience. Last but not least, I would like to once again thank everyone who came down to support me during the event and my seniors who convinced me to take part in this pageant. Without you guys, I would not have been crowned UkBound King for this year's UkBound 2016."

"UKBound was indeed a very enriching experience. It was a time of firsts and whilst many things did not entirely come easy to me, it was a truly unique experience, one I will never regret. Through this journey, many wonderful friendships were forged as we worked hard and encouraged each other in hopes of putting up an entertaining performance for everyone. I will never forget the moments where we panicked (when it came to dealing with the bikini of course), and laughed at our silliness together. I am so thankful that I got the chance to represent Warwick in UKBound and I’m honestly really grateful for all the support and guidance. I hope those who came down to support enjoyed the show!"
