Meeting on 26 January 2010

Dear Indrahanians,

It was the first time this term that our club had a joint-meeting with another club, WIM Toastmasters Club (TMC). We had quite a gathering of 'sibling' clubs together, sort of like a union of Toastmasters brothers & sisters.

The first thing I'd like to say is that WIM TMC must have many quality members. They had 7 members present vs our 12. Yet all the night's rewards went to WIM - Best Table Topic Speaker, Best Speaker & Best Evaluator. Kudos to WIM TMC.

You see, this is the great thing about having joint meetings - we learn how other clubs work & how other members excel. The best TT speaker spoke philosophically, yet was full of humour. The best speaker was a new member, yet conveyed a strong message in his speech with passion. The best evaluator gave very insightful & practical comments to help the speaker improve his speech.

From here we can all learn what it takes to be the "best" of the best:-)

Well on our side, we also tried to do our best. Yuan gave a humorous rendition as Humour Master. She's one enthusiastic member who always tries to do her best when given any role.

Wooi Hong made us doubly aware of how burnout works, whilst May brought us out on an outing to the Selangor Turf Club races.

Dr Devi gave immediate evaluations to the Table Topics speakers - quite a feat; a practice we should all learn to do. Fong MIng & Yeoh gave very valuable feedback to assignment speakers. Jade gamely took over the Timer's role at the last minute.

Thian Seng was TME and is now on the verge of becoming a CL - we can't wait!

Meanwhile, Dom & Alice came to give moral support & to enjoy themselves at the sidelines.

It was another night well-spent, especially in light of the new bonds forged between members of joint clubs. Thanks to all who helped make it enjoyable. We hope to have more such meetings of minds in the future.

May all great blessings come your way.

Kind rgds,

Kay Wong

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...
