Meeting on 11 May 2010

Dear Indrahanians,

Unfortunately I was unable to attend our club meeting on 11 May due to my flu. I was down & out, and my mind wasn’t working very well that day – I remembered to pass the printed agenda to Prez Han but forgot to give him the award ribbons for the night. As such the winners can only get their ribbons in the next meeting.

And from what I hear, those well deserved ribbons went to Jen for her excellent, well-crafted, well-rehearsed & enjoyable rendition of the true story of ‘The 3 Little Pigs” by a wolf, Thian Seng for his equally marvellous & humorous evaluation of her speech, and to a young guest, Fariz, for his impromptu speaking skills. Kudos to you all & a thousand apologies for not presenting the ribbons to you that night.

Not only did I miss feeling like a little girl all over again from Jen’s story, I also missed out on meeting some old members like Olga & Jee Peng, and
others whom I’ve never met – Nadia & kids, Mui Fah.

And I missed out on learning about Laughter Yoga from Karen.

It seemed like a night of rejoicing (Word of the Day) on high feelings, happiness & friends well met. Apparently Victor, the Grammarian, had a lot of business that night from that word.

Finally a word of thanks for those who stepped in last minute to fill in posts – Wooi Hong, Dr Choong & even Jee Peng! Thanx to all.

Well, I’ll have to time my flu better next time so I won’t have to miss out on another happy meeting. And if I were you, I wouldn’t want to miss out on meetings either.

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
