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.

Kay Wong

Voice of Indrahanians - My 2 Cents

The toastmaster club was a chance incident that Patrick Daya over the course of a dinner spoke to me about. It was sometime in Oct’08. I have heard about Toast Masters Clubs long before this but had never had the opportunity of having one of my friend/colleague actually being actively involved in one. So out of curiosity I asked him if he could bring me along. He kindly did. As we were both from the same office building, I trailed him to the venue. It was a great first time experience – my first visit as a guest, in November 08. Besides Patrick was really a very solicitous host, Jen Wong, Jade, Choi Woon and Yeoh went out of their way to make me feel at home. The speeches that day was from May and Patrick. I remembered how supportive and nurturing the environment was. There was no sense of threat and comments/critique were given sincerely and received good naturedly. It was a very positive experience indeed. I attended another 2 sessions, this time bringing my ...

What a scintillating Meeting@27July'10!

Dear Indrahanians & DTM Sivalingam, Last evening, Thian Seng came first, followed by Victor Ong to set up the meeting room. Soon after, the others trooped in – and very soon, we were ready to begin. Kay Wong’s presidential address is always a delight to hear because she uses stories to draw us in; stories that make us ponder and reflect. And when she’s finished with her narration, a lesson will have been imprinted in our consciousness! Our Immediate Past President and Area B2 Governor, Han Lee Hwee took control of the meeting as TME, and he too launched another short story. I tell you – we do have engaging storytellers at Taman Indrahana and they are all talented. And then we had Alice Ong in her familiar role as Humor Master. I have often found her to be an interesting humorist – there’s something about her I cannot put my finger on. Perhaps it’s that gleaming sparkle in her eyes? Or her mirthful demeanor? Or her chirpy smile? Whatever it is – I sense this welcomed warmth i...
