Friendship on Tues 6 Sept 2011
Immaculately dressed and meticulously prepared, TME Ian started our “Plan, Organise, Lead” meeting with high energy and enthusiam. It was obvious that he was an avid Manchester United fan when he cited Sir Alex Ferguson as having performed well in planning, organizing and leading the best football team in the world. Visiting Toastmaster Hadzrin Shah agreed with him whole-heartedly.

Past President Lay Theng enthralled us with her tale of working with 3 swimming coaches to achieve her childhood dream. She finally succeeded in achieving her goal of learning how to swim after 17 years. Leveraging on her personal experience, she was the right person to share with us that we learn best when we understand what is our learning style. Then we should go against the grain to become a versatile learner. To her, life without learning is a waste of time. In my opinion, listening to our award-winning speaker is never a waste of time !

It has been a while since Loon played the role of Toastmaster of the Day and he definitely brought the house down with lots of laughter. A natural humour master, he led the session by encouraging everyone to share a little joke.

Our newest member, Dimic Bojan, delivered his Ice Breaker speech. Telling the story of his journey from Slovenia to Malaysia, he shared his many experiences and choices in life.

KPMG KL on Sat 17 Sept 2011
It turned out to be a cosy Saturday meeting with everyone taking part in Table Topics except for the Table Topics Evaluator. When TME Amanda was asked about her wealth, she instantly replied, “I am outstandingly wealthy as I have 400+ friends on Facebook!”
Madeline told us “A Little Bit of Everything” about her stressful, busy life as an auditor. Shobana shared with us her life as a perfect, being in a debate team and enjoying her hostel days with Malay schoolmates. With determination, she completed her ACCA at age 24. She made many sacrifices to achieve this and her only regret was that she put “Fun” aside while she pursued her ACCA studies. Both our Ice Breaker speakers spoke from their hearts and we were moved by their stories.
Project Speakers Madeline, Steven, Suresh, TME Amanda & Shobana
Steven’s speech highlighted a common answer we hear when we ask our colleagues where to go for lunch. “Anything” can turn out to be tricky as there is no restaurant with such a name.
For Suresh’s “Deuteranopia” speech, he presented a well-research speech about a medical condition commonly known as colour-blindness. With much gusto, he made use of several visual aids and injected elements of vocal variety and body movement into his speech. He convinced us that “Deuteranopia is not an illness, it is a medical condition. Although we cannot be pilots or doctors, we are able to function as normal people.”
Friendship on Tues 20 Sept 2011
It was most appropriate that VPE Chee Hoe, the soul of effectiveness and efficiency, was our TME for this meeting with the meeting theme “Effectiveness and Efficiency”. With the program agenda sent out 1 week in advance, and GE invited 1 month in advance, it is obvious why he is an effective and efficient VPE.
As Sylvia was describing the heavenly Lang Tengah beach with white sands, we were transported to her “Holiday in Heaven” on the wings of her vivid, tantalizing choice of words. Her chalet had a sea view, idyllic surroundings and was just at the edge of the white sands and blue ocean. The enchantment continued at night as she gazed at the starry sky and made wishes when 5 shooting stars appeared.

It was a heavenly speech and we were left hoping that Sylvia will continue to enchant and mesmerize us in her future project speeches!
