Love your country

Money Mastery –KL Toastmasters Club Meeting #180 on 25 August 2009.

The Merdeka Spirit continues into our 180th toastmasters club meeting on 25 August 2009. In line with the Merdeka Spirit, the theme of the night was “Love Malaysia” and the word of the day was “Independence.”

Most of the members including our GE, Lucky came in colourful batik instilling the Love Malaysia spirit in all of us. First time SAA, TM Abdurrahman called the meeting to order right on time with the confidence of a seasoned speaker.

Mdm. President, CC, CL Liew Siew Yin delivered her presidential address with passion calling us to Love Malaysia, a beautiful country where people of all races and religion lived harmoniously together as One Malaysia. Feelings of patriotism ran high that night with her delivery followed by an invocation from CC, CL Raymond Sii who inspired us to love and respect our colorful Malaysian Flag.

We stop and break fast with our Muslim friends, all in a very jovial mood. Our Malaysian food is certainly very tasty thanks to CTM, ALS Paul Tan.

CC Sook Meng, our bubbly and energetic TME was witty throughout the night as she conducted the meeting in a very well organized manner.

Our Club’s ever jovial stalwart, Tuan Hj Naburi, ACB, CL was Table Topics Master for the night and had us in stitches with his friendly but comical expressions. TM Sue Hooi, Erica, Julia, Abdurrahman and Ginny all rose to the occasion when they volunteered in giving impromptu speeches on topics relating to the theme of the night. Kudos to all for their courage!

CTM, ALS Paul Tan, as humor master, gave some interesting, highly refined and polished jokes and had majority of members breaking into hearty laughs.

We were pleasantly mesmerized by four young speakers giving informative and interesting well prepared speeches no 1, 2, 3 & 4 respectively. The speeches were delivered with confidence, light humor and very engaging with the audience. TM William Lee gave his ice breaker speech, “Where I come from”, TM Vince Kek motivated and engaged the audience with “What Make Your Life 100%”, TM Eileen shared with us on “Will Power & Self Discipline” and TM Wilson inspired us with his referjob2earn.com income generating scheme. Congratulations to all the speakers for their efforts!

Rounds of applauses was given to all first time role players, ASAA Abdurrahman, Ah-Counter, Julia Leong, Time Keeper Sharon Siew and Ice Breaker, William Lee.

ATM-B, ALS General Evaluator, Lucky gave an overall positive evaluation summary of our club filled with good suggestions for improvement while his team of evaluators were very zealous and sincere in giving positive feedback to our equally enthusiastic speakers and audience.
