Meeting on 25 May 2010

Dear Indrahanians,

Well, well, well. Guess what? We had up to 30 attendants for this 25 May meeting! What a wonderful turn-out!

Of course it was partly to do with the Crystal ladies contributing to the numbers, since this was a joint-mini meeting with Crystal Club. The Crystal ladies may have been small in numbers, but they were big on impact. Their Table Topic Master, Emily Bong, gave us a very entertaining session. Their TT participant, Christine, went on to win the Table Topic award. Their assignment speaker, Bong Yi Lin, gave us a valuable message to donate blood to save lives. And their AH Counter Ng Siew Tho & Timer Ching Teng Yoong, kept us in tow with our speech crutches & time management.

A big hand to Crystal.

Jen was her sweet self as TME to sweeten & lighten up the meeting with her smiles & soft-spoken voice. KK entertained us for 9 minutes with his first Advance speech from the manual ‘Humorously Speaking’. He deserves a huge round of applause for making the bold move to start on his advance speeches after a long hiatus. Kudos to KK!

The rest of the role players, as usual, did a credible job. Special thanks to Jade who stepped in as SAA at the last minute.

Now the other reason why we had such a large attendance is of course due to our AGM night. We had some long lost friends appearing once again, like Charis, Olga, Jee Peng, Philip, Yuan, Kevin, Fong Ming. Thanks a lot to their interest & support to the club.

Well, the AGM went on smoothly, with relevant questions being asked. I guess all’s well that ends well. And for the benefit of members who were unable to make it for that night, here’s the EXCO 2010/2011 members who have been nominated & voted in:


Prez – Kay Wong

VPE – Victor Ong

VPM – Yeoh Cheng Lim

VPPR – Jade Lim

Treasurer – Ng Koon Kow

Secretary – May Yong

SAA – Fanny Thang

Committee Member 1 – Yap Choi Woon

Committee Member 2 – Lim Thian Seng



These are the people who have sportingly agreed to serve the club for the next term 2010/2011 – so let’s give them a big hand. Clap Clap Clap.

But seriously speaking, as the incoming Prez, I’d like to say a big THANK YOU to our members who trust me with this job. And also very importantly I wish to say a huge THANK YOU to the rest of the incoming EXCO team who have readily agreed to work together with me in the next term to look into the interests of the club. Thanks a lot to all Taman Indrahanians!

May all great blessings come your way.


Kay Wong

VPE 2009/2010

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...
