.THAT'S the theme of our meeting held last tuesday 9th Dec., 2008. This is the second last meeting of the year. The attendance was good and we had two guests, Mr and Mrs Chia brought in by Francis Ng, DTM. Based on the theme above, the President, Hj Hashim, CC, CL, gave his usual Presidential invocation in his opoening remarks. This is his inspirational invocation:
"THINK THANKS"
Please be reminded fellow members and readers, be aggressively thankful.
When it comes to living, do you take things for granted or take them with gratitude?
Thanksgiving is the attitude of a productive life.
No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks in an expeditious manner.
How long has it been since you thanked those closest to you?
So, go to your beloved ones and say "THANK YOU"
Thanksgiving, you will find, creates power to your life because it expeditiously opens the generators of your heart to respond gratefully, to receive joyfully and to react creatively.
The person who forgets the language of gratitrude will never find themselves on speaking terms with happiness.
Dwight moody said, "be humble or you'll stumble" Henry Ward Beecher pointed out, "A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves".
So think thanks and be kind to others and say good things.

The timing of the meeting was perfect and the events went according to schedules. The general evaluator, DTM Sivalingam from D'Utama TMC was very impressed and so was the 14 year old daughter of Marcus Chee, Merrilyn and gave high praise to the way we conduct our meeting. Kudos to all and keep it up.
The assigned ASAA, Khoshim CC, was absent and he was graciously replaced by Siew Yin, the ever efficient VPE, who did a very good job of making sure that everyone took their seats on time. Well done Siew Yin.
Paul Tan in his usual antics, was the TME and he coducted the meeting very well with his encouraging comments on the speakers. They were six of them. All spoke very well. Derrick Teh and Julia Leong delivered their ice-breakers speech. The audience was so impressed with Julia who spoke like a seasoned toastmaster was voted the best project speaker. Congratulations to Julia and Kudos, you are a champion speaker in the making. The new toastmasters who were graduates of the speechcraft from Mechmar really made their presence felt as they dominate the project speech agenda. Kok Sook Meng gave the audience an early advice of how to prepare for retirement with her "My Golden Home: My Dream" speech. Teh Yi Ling, dubbed as the number two chilli padi of the club after Huey Yee, telling us to stick to our life's path with her "Love Your Path". Sanjay another member from Mechmar also performed his duty as a time-keeper for the evening very well. I am sure KL Loh their big boss, was proud of his staff. Congratulations and kudos to all of you from Mechmar. Sook Meng is so enthusiastic to finish her ten speeches that I noticed she had booked her speaking slots at every meeting until April next year. Well done Sook Meng. I hope your enthusiasm will catch on with the rest of the members and the President can be rest assured that the DCP award is already in the bag.
We were warned by Cindy Foong that mother earth is in great danger in the wake of global warming, for it takes only six degrees celcius in increase temperature to put the whole world under water. Everyone was happy to see the eagerness of Cindy to complete her CC manual and by the next meeting she will deliver her tenth speech and be declared a Competent Communicator, CC. Kudos to Cindy and we look forward to your final speech.
Marcus Chee, ACB delivered his Advance Communication Story Telling project module #3 titled "the Colour of rights" in his dramatic manner and was well evaluated by KL Loh, ATM-G who shared the same passion and admiration of Civil Right hero of the late Rev Dr. Martin Luther King who inspired Barrack Obama, the President Elect of the USA. KL Loh was voted the best evaluator of the meeting. Well done to both of you.
The General Evaluator, DTM Sivalingam was a polished and very seasoned toastmaster and his detailed evaluation report was well appreciated by the members and we should take note of his advice to make our meeting a perfect and faultless meeting. However I promised Sivalingam for a good nasi lemak, unfortunately our "caterer" Paul Tan failed to supply it on the excuse that the "cook" went on strike and absconded to Kota Baru, Kelantan. So we forgave him for Francis took quick action to provide us with an assortment of "buffet" dishes and a few of us gobble up to their hearts content to overcome their " refugee-like " hunger. Luckily Huey Yee's birthday cake was spared till the end of the meeting and our "MIA" long lost member MK Low helped to cut the cake and sing Happy Birthday to the birthday chilli padi.
The next meeting which will be two days before Christmas, on 23rd December, the TME Huey Yee reminded everyone to bring a RM10 gift for exchange in the Christmas spirit and to celebrate X'mas everyone is advised to come in either green or red attire. Happy Christmas and Prosperous New Year to everyone.
