Meeting on 12 Jan 2010

Dear Indrahanians,

The word of the day on 12 Jan 2010 was 'elated' which means feeling happy. What an appropriate word to kickstart the first club meeting of the new year.

All of our members and guests who came for this 'Guest Night' were indeed elated, judging by the number of times the word was used by many speakers. The Language Evaluator, Victor Ong, had his earful with so much business from the members. Well he besieged us to use the word, and his prayer was answered.

By the way, one very good reason for elation that night was that Victor Ong finally became our club member after many visits to our club. Congratulations, Victor, and welcome! We look forward to your sharing & learning with us.

Jade gave us another reason to be elated - she donated a cake for our new year celebration and enjoyment. It was great to welcome Jade back into our fold & she gamely took on the role of Timer after a long hiatus with her new baby.

Durai provided us with muffins for dessert (new menu!) & Audrey, Teresa's good friend who's also a baker, donated more of her lovely cookies. Yum yum!

But of course it wasn't just an evening of feeling elated by gorging ourselves silly. Jenny also cautioned us to eat wisely 7 healthily, Wooi Hong helped us with aerobic exercises for the mind, and LeAnn provided the ultimate food for thought - what is meant by freedom?

These 3 speakers are inching their ways very soon to their new CC titles, thus helping our club with more DCP points! Please help encourage them to go on.

That's it for now. Please note that our next elating meeting will be a Joint Meeting with WIM TMC at Wisma WIM. More details will come later in the week.

May all great blessings come your way.

Ice Breaker Speech: Myself by Ang Poon Kenn

Good evening everyone, my name is Ang Poon Kenn, everyone calls me Ken. Today, the title of my speech is about Myself. As far as I could recall, me parents were not staying with me since I was 3 years old; they went overseas and started their new working life for some reason, and did not come back ever since. I'm staying with my grandmother, and she look after my elder brother, younger sister and me. I actually have not met my parents for more than 18 years and only communicate through the phone and social media. Can you imagine, 15 years of not seeing your own parents? 18 years of not having parents around the house, school and life. My grandmother take over my mother's role, she does all the housework for us. She takes care of us. My relative, they are not rich but they sponsor me for my education and pocket money. However, even though I have the love from my grandmother and relatives, I felt that I'm different from others. They have parents accompany them during
