15th Chapter Meeting

Feb 11, 2010
It was a good meeting with 20 members and 1 guest: SAA Carmelita started giving away 'hong pau' to all the singles members and wish everyone a Happy Cinense Lunar New Year. TME Abiramy was good to hold audience participation for solid 120 minutes. For table topicmaster, Jocelyn Cheok Wei Yin preapred topics on both Chinese New Year and Valentine, guest what, Valentine questions are more popular than the Chinese New Year topics. Well done to Jocelyn being the first time T.T.master.

I did my AP1 at the eleven hour, I must thank the DivA, Cindy Wong, ACS for the sincere evaluation. Of course the better speaker went to our President Kannan on his 'The Sales Training' (AP9)..wow, he will be the next ACB by having to complete just one more advance project (hey, can I envy you?) By the way our club does not have many ACB as most of the members were 'graduated' after the CC...



'GONGXI FA CAI" Happy Lunar New Year Selamat Tahun Baru Cina!

2nd Chapter Meeting 2010

THE TOASTMASTER MEETING
JANUARY 28, 2010
THE THAIPUSAM FESTIVAL



THE ICE BREAKERS
The three new members Tm Murugappan, Tm Chan Chin Phai and Tm Kek Kim Lan spoke from their hearts and won the hearts of the audiance.  Well done!  And welcome to the club.


THE MEETING

The night of "the thaipusam festival" challenged my ability on how much I know and understand about the hindu festival. For 18 years staying in Malaysia I believe that Thaipusam is just ( where we see hindu devotees piercing the part of their body ) a part of their rituals. As the toastmaster of the evening I am obliged to find out more about the festival. Since I joined toastmasters I have fostered the habit of finding a solution only then

I learn and grow with the help of the new technology and lots of information around. Now, I can say that I know more about the thaipusam festival.

THE FOOD

During the tea break I noticed that we have enough food for everyone until the VPE announced that he had none. I guess, the members and guests were contented that we have nice food and happy with the mee siam which was not too spicy and the kuih kurang manis.
