Meeting on 10 November 2009

Dear Indrahanians,

Greetings to you.

During our above meeting on 10 Nov, we almost had a speech marathon. We had 4 wonderful assigned speeches to learn from - tips on anti-burglary, advice on financial management, ask your own self for all the answers you need, & how to handle a radio talk show.

Each of the speaker spoke so well, that I'm sure it was a tough choice for all of us when it came to choosing the Best Speaker Award. The fact that Yuan won shows that she's one of our up & coming young speakers in the club.

Ditto for the evaluators - all of them performed well. So it was equally difficult to vote.

Another point I noted was that members who weren't playing roles that night, were very proactive in volunteering for the limited Table Topics slots.

So overall, I'd say that the standard of speaking quality that night was very high indeed.

So let's all continue this standard so that Taman Indrahana Toastmasters Club continues to be known as the premier speaking club!

May all great blessings come your way.

Kay Wong
VPE 2009/2010

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...

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 ...
