Dear Indrahanians,
We had 5 guests who visited us during this meeting on 23 Mar 10. One of them was brand new to Toastmasters (Kevin's guest), and he wanted to know what we're all about. Four of them are current Toastmasters who wanted to learn from us. Well, I hope they took a lot of learning away with them.
Because we had an Ice Breaker speaker who sounded like a veteran speaker (Karen), and 2 speakers who completed their CCs with their final 10th speech (Jenny & LeAnn). Karen went on to win the 'Best Speaker' award. Congratulations to all of them:-)
Unfortunately Wooi Hong had to pull out that night from his 10th speech 'cos he had cold feet...(ahem) I mean, he had a cold:-( So he missed out on our standing ovation:-(
LeAnn was doing her 4th round of the CC manual, and she could consider doing it the 5th round....
Since it takes a thief to catch a thief, we had a DTM to evalutate a DTM. Fong Ming did a very candid job, with valid comments, & went to win the 'Best Evaluator' award.
As we didn't have a speech marathon & we had actually cancelled Table Topic session earlier, we improvised & came up with an impromtu Table Topic session - so we had an impromptu impromptu session:-)
So to help give more 'business' to the Language Evaluator, Dr Devi, the TT Master (yours truly) came up with some topics that related to the Word of the Day, ie CANDID = Frank.
Frankly speaking, it's actually easier to use the word 'frank' rather than 'candid'. Nevertheless, the LE had good 'business' that night.
BTW, if any of you are as crazy as I am for classics, one of my favourite movies & books is 'GONE WITH THE WIND'. One of the most memorable lines in the book/movie, if not THE most memorable line, is: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." So said Rhett Butler to Scarlett O'Hara.
But I digress. Because I do give a damn that our night went on very well & I only wish that more of you could have been there. So I look forward to see you in the next meeting:-)
May all great blessings come your way.
Kind rgds,
Kay Wong
