When light shines

"When you have a decision to make, choose the path that brings light, not darkness         -  Dr Devi Menon"
Dr. Devi, in her elegant black punjabi suit, was our Toastmaster of the Evening on 28th October 2014. She shared the origin and the meaning of Deepavali with all of us during her session. Our Madam President, Pei Lim also dressed up to the occasion in this sweet punjabi suit :)


Induction session is very vital for new members when they first join Taman Indrahana Toastmasters Club. Last Tuesday, Jee Peng, Vice President of Membership inducted Gavin Teoh ~ Gavin, welcome you to our club! 


'Toastmaster wears many hats' was mentioned by Yeoh Cheng Lim during the invocation session. He is ready to take up any challenge given to him. He was our in-house general evaluator of this meeting too. He accepted the job at the eleventh hour! Thanks Yeoh!


It is new to me that Japan celebrates Deepavali. I got the information from our sweet Table Topic Master, Yeong Ai Lin. She gave us a very creative table topic session. She used the flag of the countries as the table topic of the day. All table topic speakers enjoyed themselves at this session. I have a good laugh when Durai gave us a short humorous table topic! Dr Devi, Julian (guest), Ong Beng Chung, Durai and Kah Fai were the table topic speakers. 





We have two prepared speeches for this meeting, Jeremy Lim and Victor Ong. Interesting topics from these two speakers. One on 'why you should marry an accountant' by Jeremy Lim (author interpreted the topic to:- why you should marry me - Jeremy Lim) - joking, :P ! Victor Ong delivered a speech on 'Masks". 



We have a very interesting phenomena for the meeting as we have three best table topic speakers. See, they enjoyed themselves very much! Durai, you should speak more in the club!


All in all, we have a good meeting on last Tuesday. Attention peeps! We have few events coming up in the month of November as announced in the Facebook Page and email. Do check them out :)

8th November: Division D organizing mentoring workshop. Do check out here. 
29-30th November: Youth Leadership Program. For more information, click here. 

Signing off, see you in our club next meeting!

Ice Breaker speech by Victor Tan

Ice Breaker speech by Victor Tan: Introduction Fellow toastmasters, t oday I want to introduce to you a person that I used to know, someone whom  I hold close to my heart, someone who  I missed so much and someone whom I  hope soon  can be a part of  my life  again. H e is always  happy, full  of imagination and adventurous . He makes fun of himself and  likes to keep life as lightweight as possible. He is also  light hearted, humorous and creative as well. And most of the time he is liked by many because  he is positive  and  happy  go  lucky .  I believe he used to see the best in people around him and he wish people see the best in him as well.   He was a fun  and protective brother, a chivalrous friend,  and a stranger you can trust. He  is very passionate in the things that he likes. He  loves cars a lot (he even wishes his first car goodnight), he love comics and g...

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...
