Malacca Toastmasters Club Installation Night @ Seafearers Klebang

Hello dear readers,

Another exciting updates from the Malacca Toastmasters Club. We have just organized the Malacca Toastmasters Club Installation Night at Seafearer's Klebang Beach last Saturday 21- Aug 2010. The theme for the night: Hawaiian Night ;)

The restaurant is facing the Straits of Malacca. It has a very wonderful evening view with the soothing sea breeze.

The installation night went very well. We had many good jokes and table topics for entertainment. The battle between the European and the English seafarers to settle down in the sacred land of Hawaii. A very close and exciting battle I would say.

We had singing Hula guy as well. Oh yes, not to forget the coconut milk and the priest's instrument joke. Only those who attend will know. *grin* Overall, I believe everyone had a really good time.

Thanks to everyone for contributing to the success of the Installation Night.
