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...

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.

1st chapter Meeting of 2010
Due to a series of natural phenomina ( you read newspapers and you know the world has a lot of earthquakes , tsuname , snow storms and what have you these days, Toastmasters have their fair share as well ), we have lost contact with the Reporter for this meeting. We think there is no chance of recovering him until after the Chinese New Year avalanche. Meantime aspiring reporters with good memory of this meeting is required. Historical accounts are not well received. We need meeting highlights. Interested member please contact E T Lee at jbetlee@gmail.com or simply write on the comment section of this entry.

Christmas Meeting
"I am dreaming ..of a white Christmas..just like the one that I used to know...
We had a unforgettable Christmas meeting at Carmelita's house; to start the meeting, Carmelita as host welcome everyone to the 12th Chapter meeting in her house. Saravanan first time did the Invocation, a teacher of the 'Secret' book...(must read book for the new year). Mark took the role as Toastmaster of the Evening and he introduced Jey Shin as Table Topicmaster for the evening. We had only allotted 30 minutes for table topics session, members and guests were readily to 'speak on their feet' in the garden of Carmelita's house...
After the table topics session, President Kannan gave a very positive 'evaluation' on 'table topics' session; At the same time, he mentioned a few 'tips' on answering the table topic. Members, get ready for the Table Topic Contest that is coming up in March/April next year.
Later, members and guests enjoyed the session on exchange of gifts and food specially prepared by the host, Carmelita Baluyut.
It was the 'first' time that we had a Toastmasters Meeting in the 'open air'.
President thanked the members and guests especially the host, Carmelita and Mr. Pang for inviting us for this 'annual' Christmas meeting in Taman Perling.
Hohoho......Merry Christmas and happy holiday.

10th Chapter meeting
10th Chapter Meeting cum Area A2 Governor's visit
26th November 2009
The SAA, Mark Anthony, CC called the meeting to start on time and he invited the President J. Kannan to deliver his opening address.
In President's opening address, he talked about "Success is a manifestation of thought and thoughts can become things. Therefore, everything that happened to me, I am responsible!" Wow, that was very philosophical and anyone who can spoke like that is definitely on his way to become a great motivational speaker!
The Toastmaster of the Evening, that is your truly, in accordance to the theme of the evening, "Laughter is the Best medicine"; he started the meeting by leading Toastmasters how to enjoy laughter by doing a few simple excercises.
Anyone can laugh without jokes, humor or comedy!
The Table Topicsmaster, Shegar, CC with his high energy personality conducted the Table Topics session with ease, his topics attracted fellow Toastmasters responded very quickly, I pondered why? (The secret: each fellow Toastmaster who spoke at the lactern received the brand new 2010 management diary from Shegar, who is the Group manager from the company with the tagline: 'life is great'!)
P/s. Word of the day was 'PONDER'
Everyone enjoyed the tea-break session because it was here that members and guests can 'mingled' around for better fellowship, this is the place we can expand our circle of friendship within the Toastmasters Club!
At the Prepared Speech session, we had 2 Prepared Speeches;
TM Tan Yu Min, the highly qualified accountant in the Club,whom presented her Project 7, entitled Corporate Fraud! Bosses, Beware! She cited the story of Balin Bank IN Singapore, 1995, in fact, how could the branch that were performing superbly well went bankrupt?Reason:Corporate Fraud!
The Second speaker who is another corporate high flyer presented the Motivational Speech in the Advance Communicator manual. Even his speech title chosen was a highly motivated one! His speech entitled: Breakingthrough the Glass Ceiling! He talked about goal setting and that "If your dream is not an impossible one, then it is not a dream..." Shouldn't we set the Impossible goals now for achieving a DTM?
Both speakers received the 'wows' from the floor! We love it!
Finally, as Toastmaster of the Evening, I felt very satisfied to receive feedback that the meeting was conducted interestingly and packed with positive energy!!
