As the club name stated, Advanced, the club was somehow different and advance from the norm..
i was sceptic about this club as the word "advanced" frightens me. Thinking of my level of public speaking compared to the word advance, i wasn't wrong. This club is way advance than me.
Here and some of the differences that i had seen.
- First of all, KL Advance Toastmasters had the Table Topic Session started first. In MTC, we had the project speakers started first.
- KLAT practices Open evaluation and self evaluation, apart from speaker's evaluator's evaluation. This actually let attendees a chance to give a brief evaluation and at the end, the speaker will either defend him/herself or admit the evaluations from the floor.
- The table topic evaluator has 10 minutes to do evaluation, our club only has 2-3 minutes.
- Each best speaker/evaluator/table topic speaker was given a certificate !
Moreover, the members speaking skills were extremely good too.
During the meeting, i noticed a few unique members too.
Here as some of the notable unique club members of KL Advance Toastmasters Club.
ACG, CL Bill Sim
He's the club's president and was the past president of Malacca Toastmasters Club. He's a familiar face among my club "senior" members but he was quite new to me. A very nice guy who shared a bottle of red wine with us. His daughter was pretty.
ACB, CL Chase Lee
He's the club's Vice President of Education and his command of language and pronunciation was unreal and excellent. I was fascinated by his evaluation as a grammarian that i did not notice he was doing cha cha at the same time.
CC, Lorna Fisher
She's from UK but was brought up in Australia and now, is the Vice President of Membership of KL Advance Toastmasters Club. I hardly get to see a foreigner as a local club member. She was friendly and nice to have a chat with as her English has a mixture of Australian / British English.
TM, Salley Cheah
From a shy and quiet girl to a lively and exciting girl, Toastmasters sure changed her alot. She's pretty too :).
DTM, Sandrasegaran
The presence of this one man surprises me. He's "the" Toastmasters Leadership Institute Chairman of District 51. The sheer amount of shiny pins on his easily be mistaken as a golden vest. His face reminds me of a Bollywood actor.
CTM, CL Arvim Sriram
He's the Toastmaster of the Evening, despite his appearance, he did his role very professionally. He actually put me to shame. I am really impressed with him. He's one of my most favorite toastmaster from KL Advance Toastmasters Club.
The meeting ended at approximately 4pm. Before we ended of meeting, we had a group photo.
To KL with love.
