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: Myself by Ang Poon Kenn

Good evening everyone, my name is Ang Poon Kenn, everyone calls me Ken. Today, the title of my speech is about Myself. As far as I could recall, me parents were not staying with me since I was 3 years old; they went overseas and started their new working life for some reason, and did not come back ever since. I'm staying with my grandmother, and she look after my elder brother, younger sister and me. I actually have not met my parents for more than 18 years and only communicate through the phone and social media. Can you imagine, 15 years of not seeing your own parents? 18 years of not having parents around the house, school and life. My grandmother take over my mother's role, she does all the housework for us. She takes care of us. My relative, they are not rich but they sponsor me for my education and pocket money. However, even though I have the love from my grandmother and relatives, I felt that I'm different from others. They have parents accompany them during

Meeting on 27 October 2009

Dear Indrahanians, Greetings to you. Last meeting we had one of the most unusual Table Topics Sessions I've ever attended. It was conducted by Jen. She gave out a few topics & participants were supposed to tell us a lie based on those topics. Basically Jen wanted us to tell a Tall Tale. A tall tale is a story with unbelievable elements but told in such a way that it could be true. So you can believe it or not. During the session, you could tell who are the true liars (a.k.a. Dominic), those who can't a tell a lie in their honest-to-goodness life (a.k.a. Alice), those who try but didn't quite succeed (a.k.a. Dr Choong), and those who are probably true blue liars - like our guest Victor and our very own Yuan. For the record, Yuan won the Table Topics Award that night. Congrats to Yuan for being such a good liar! And kudos to Jen for such an entertaining session. Those of us who were present had a 'belly' good laugh. Anan gave his ice breaker speech. Those of you f
