TM Education Meeting @ Edaran Sumber

Hei there! As mentioned by Melvin earlier, we had an education meeting last Thursday..a special one indeed.

Here are some quickie updates:

Location: Sumber Learning Center (1st Floot)

It was 730pm. Everyone waited downstairs at Popular bookstore.The door way leading to Edaran Sumber learning center was still locked. Melvin, KP Lai , Azizah and myself anxiously waited for Mak to open the pad lock.

Rumors spread like H1N1. Some said the venue was changed last minute through a message from the Blackberry. Some said the meeting was cancelled. Some said the other members couldn't find the place. Anyway we were happily discussing about where the next meeting will be...DURIAN FARM!! While waiting Mr President Joshua to do his side parking opposite the center.

Mak finally arrived. He was a bit late due to some unforeseen circumstances. We started at 810pm slightly behind schedule. OMG..

The TOE was Toastmaster (TM) Jenny Ng.. her first time. And she even brought her lovely daughter as a guest.... to support her .COOL!!!!!

There were 2 guests that night.

Anyway, there 's four interesting and memorable Project Speeches specially lined up on that Thursday night.

1.Money Is Very Important by TM Shima Ismail. Evaluated by TM Clarence (that's me)

Highlights:

Very interesting and entertaining speech by her. Her opening was superb!! She grabbed the whole floors attention by flashing MONEY!!!!! bundles of new crispy RM50 banknotes.. OMG.

2.How to build confidence confidently by TM KP Lai Evaluated by CL Jane Yeo

Highlights:

His 3 steps to build confidence was brilliant. It will definitely make any William Hung transform to be as confident as Austin Powers in the Spy Who Shagged Me!! :P

3.Who am I? ? by TM Sharon Chiang Evaluated by CC Ahmad Yusof.

Highlights:

No, it was not about Jacky Chan. It was about something greater..Sharon provoked the audience to think about who was she really talking about in a very unexpected twist. The speech also marked her accomplishment as a Competent Communicator (CC). Well done , Sharon. You were AWESOME!!!!

4.Finding New Members For Your Club by CC Melvin Chan.

April Fool - Marshaled

When the gorgeous, bootilicious, super hot, beautiful , charming and sexy vixen, Lena Foo is the TOE, there's always many many Guests.

i am sure you know why...  no need for me the repeat. * It's getting hot here * :p

There was a meeting on 1st of April, and that's not April Fool. Fool or not Fool, you are a fool for not coming on April Fool.

Few days and few hours before the meeting, Lena had problems getting the Agenda done, she was resourceful by calling and making sure the roles are all taken up by either replacements or non replacement.

Before the meeting, we had a few surprises.

Robert Ong , a ex-Toastmaster of our club arrived out of the blue moon. 
Kamala Nair, ACS, CL, oh i missed her so much , too arrived out of the blue moon. 
She was MIA for sometime.


We even had a few guests,

1. Dr Adnan
2. Dr Yusof
3. Franko
4. Ester
5. Raymond
6. Lugzan

The meeting started slightly late because we just realized a few importing things, the Role Cards, The Role Player Folders and even the Attendance book was not ready... sigh.. Jenny and I had to spend a few minutes sorting up the stuff.

Normally, SAA was to be blamed, however, due to a series of unfortunate events, the SAA has some personal matter to catch up on... There goes the SAA...

Lena started the meeting with her sexy and charming voice... just like a Siren, the mystical being, memorizing everyone with her voice.

Sooner than i realized that i the time is passing by like the F1 driven by Kimi Raikkonen, project speeches had started.

We had 3 speakers,

1. Dr Soe Win evaluated by Henry Goh, CC
2. Sharon Chiang, evaluated by Jane Yeo, CL
3. Azizah Abu Hassan evaluated by Kamala Nair, ACS, CL

Dr Soe Win, TM shared his adventure on sea with us, the sea monster threatening to drown the ship, being a sailor on the ship, he survived the onslaught and was alive to share with us the new adventures of 

Dr Soe Win~ The Modern Sinbad.

Sharon Chiang, TM shared with us how inexpensive toastmasters is, is only freaking RM 1.30 per day !!!

Even Jusco JJ Day also kalah....lol

Azizah Abu Hassan, ACB CL started her speech by imitating chicken Rooster's "Cocka-doodle-doo" !!!

and she moved on to describe her crocodile hunter's trip. 

After the project speeches, it was time for some humor, DTM Shivcharan Kaur was there to humor us with some jokes on relationship... We had a good laugh.

She did a 7 minutes speech project and was followed up by the Table topic Session.

Lai Kim Piew, TM  marshaled the whole session flawlessly. 

We had 5ive table topic speakers and they were given some short stories on crazy ideas or scenarios. 

It was really funny. Haha, now laugh....

General Evaluation was next and Ruby, CC was there to marshaled the whole general evaluation. 

Project Evaluators was first, 

Table Topic Evaluators was next, ME, and i did a speedy evaluation for 5 speakers in a record time of 55 seconds, beat that Raikkonen !!!

Grammarian was marshaled  by Joshua Ling How Gin, ACB, CL.

Time keeper marshaled by Jenny Ng, TM.

Mak Chee Kin, CC, CL was the Ah Countant and my name was not mentioned which means i was perfect? Not quite, he did not noticed my opening gambit when i was the SAA.


The meeting ended slightly later than usual and the the club EXCOs had the last meeting before everyone call it a night.
