Dear Indrahanians
Happy 2010.
But let me bring you back to history...
Well, 22 Dec 2009 sounds like history because that was our last meeting for last year & it sounds like eons ago. This is another way of saying that I'm actually way behind time with this report of mine, to tell you what happened on the meeting night of 22 Dec. (Sorry, I blissfully flew away to China the following day for my long awaited holiday with my family:-))
I've to admit that organising that night's meeting was my most challenging to-date. I thought I had my agenda & role players down pat, ready & early. Then lo & behold, one by one the role players started to drop out - right to the last minute just before the meeting!
Apparently that same night is a very important Chinese festival (winter solstice) & so many had to stay back at home for a very important celebration.
Anyway, we members who were present managed to chip in to play replacement roles - that's what Toastmasters train us to do, ie be prepared to wear a hat, any which way.
Together with a few guests, we also managed to have a great Christmas-themed party, including cup cakes, roast chicken & spaghetti from Anan. Thx, Anan, you certainly gave us a different menu for the occasion.
Dom conducted an unusual Humour-cum-Table Topics session which got everyone humoured & almost everyone to say something impromptu. He even managed to get the Table Topics Evaluator to say something impromptu!!! How about that for uniqueness?
Jen embarked on her first post-CC speech after a long hiatus - congrats to Jen for taking the next big step in her Toastmasters journey!
Then we had some more Christmas cheer when we added a new member, Karen Sze Tho, to our Taman Indrahana family. Yahoo! Pls welcome her to our club.
To round off the night, some of us made our way to the pub downstairs after our meeting for a nightcap of beer to welcome Christmas and a happy new year.
So you can see we're a happening club no matter what happens:-)
Cheers & let's look forward to a new year of happening meetings.
