Meeting #153 & 6th. Anniversary (22 July 2008)


Happy 6th Birthday, Money Mastery-KL Toastmasters Club!
And to all our industrious members, happy 6th birthday! Looking forward, may we celebrate many more birthdays together as we learn and grow, in our positive learning lab?
It was indeed a grand and energetic meeting. We are definitely a class above… I mean in all my 6 years with the club, I’ve never had a buffet dinner before the meeting! Wow.
Our esteemed President, Hj. Hashim said the most dangerous place to be is in the middle of the road. Likewise, to become better speakers/communicators, Decide. Decide to firmly follow the path…do the right things to pursue your communication/leadership goals this term. Very apt. Practice not only makes perfect. Practice makes permanent.
Nini Yeoh was energetic in her role as TME, kudos.
Gean Lau inspired us with Emily Dickinson’s, “I dwell in possibilities.” So, like the U-mobile advertisement on TV presently, start to ask ourselves, “Why not…?”
Why not finish my 10 speeches by Dec? Why not participate in the upcoming Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contests? Why not commit to coming to club meetings regularly? Yes, why not indeed?
Bravo to our industrious Table Topic Master, Hj Hashim, whose topics let our volunteers, have a field day. Kudos, Aziz Youp, Janice, Cindy, James, Bakar.
MK Low…he’s definitely one person who asked why not? Why not learn to be humorous? His brand of humor has evolved and it’s so original. Thank you for making us laugh.
Calista attempted her 2nd project speech, titled “My Best Friend”. Congrats, my dear! The twist to your story was absolutely amazing. I expected to hear juicy story about boyfriend and unexpectedly, you led us to think about our relationship with our dad. So, how many of us went home and told daddy, “I appreciate all you have done, thank you?”
Eu Gene brought us down memory lane with “Children of the 50s, 60s and 70s”. The value that I got from his sharing is…
Yesterday is Past, Tomorrow may never come. Today is a gift from God, that’s why it’s Present. So, why not live life to the fullest? Experience/learn one new thing everyday.
Marcus is on his 2nd round of CCship. Saving his icebreaker for a TM club in Shanghai, he attempted his 2nd project speech, titled “The Law of Attraction”. A universal law of success, the law of attraction was highlighted in The Secret. The VCD/DVD is worth watching.
Kudos to all the evaluators for their industrious evaluations, Ben Hoe, KH Song, KL Loh, Francis. Kudos too to our roleplayers who listened attentively, the grammarian, ah counter and timekeeper.

Some dates to note:
2nd Aug… Division W 2007-2008 DWSEP Awards night.
12th Aug…our next meeting.
26th Aug…Club Humorous Speech & Evaluation Contests. Volunteers for role players and contestants, pls respond to Siew Yin’s email on this.
Have an industrious and meaningful weekend.
See you at next meeting,
Cheers,
Huey Yee, ACB, CL
Past President
