Magical Evening at ING
Posted on Wednesday, December 23, 2009 by areaw7
The 11th meeting of the ING Leadership Toastmasters Club was held on the 2nd of December 2009. The meeting started out like any other Toastmasters meeting with the meeting being called to order by our ever faithful Assistant Sergeant at Arms, Gary Goh, who is always on top of his game when it comes to timing. We then had a short opening address by our Acting President, James Lee.
After the Toastmaster of the Evening, Area Governor W7 Tan Lay Theng introduced all the role players, the first highlight of the night, the Table Topics Session commenced. That session was anything but conventional as the Table Topic Master, Yazlin came up with a great idea to make a volunteer pick four random words/phrases and make a story out of those words. Can you imagine telling a story by using words like, “Fat Russian Lady, hot cakes, bespectacled girl and seafood buffet”? We had eight creative volunteers who were brave enough to make the audience laugh their guts out.
The prepared speeches segment was next on the agenda with two guest speakers. They were Johnny Tai from Ambank Group Toastmasters Club and Angeline Lee from Friendship Toastmasters Club. Johnny delivered his 6th CC manual speech, entitled Black Magic which was very attention grabbing and entertaining. Angeline presented her 5th project for the Advanced Communication Manual with the speech title My Journey of Magical Transformation. It was very inspiring and motivating especially for the members of the ING Toastmasters Club who are still in our infancy stage of our Toastmasters career.
Right after the prepared speeches session, a special presentation session was conducted by Lee Soo Ling, Assistant Area Governor in Education and Training. She presented an informative and personal speech which gave the audience a better understanding on the benefits of the Competent Communicator and Competent Leadership manuals. She highlighted to us, how both manuals have helped her to be better speaker by just going through the projects. Angeline, Assistant Area Governor in Marketing, on the other hand, gave us an introduction to the Area W7 Connect blog.
Subsequently, the speech evaluator for Johnny, none other than our Toastmasters of the Evening, Tan Lay Theng gave extremely constructive feedbacks to Johnny for improvement. Angeline’s evaluator, Advanced Communicator Bronze, Gan Teong Hock commended Angeline for her exemplary effort as well as ways for her to further improve her speech. The General Evaluator, Sabariah from UKAY Toastmasters Club, gave us a very comprehensive evaluation of the entire meeting which was constructive and not too overwhelming.
Following the evaluation session James presented the award of best Table Topics Speaker of the evening. The award went to Tan Ai Hoong for her extremely humorous impromptu story which filled the room with laughter. The meeting was then wrapped up by James with yet another inspiring speech that was complemented by an equally inspiring video from Britain’s Got Talent. Do check it out if you are interested!
Special thanks to all the guest speakers and role players, as well as all the members of the ING Toastmasters Club members who made this meeting a success.
