Toastmasters meeting on 8th June 2010

This particular meeting on 8th June 2010 holds special significance for the club. We saw a change of leadership baton from CC Kala to CC Tan Soo Guan. The room was packed to the brim and we had 4 guests. Captured here forever are the images of this historical nite. Go through the photos one by one and live those moments again in your mind. For those who were not there, do come and join us to make a difference at our meetings.

President Tan Soo Guan addressing the audience. My theme is "Growth Starts from Within".
He created laughter when he said "I won't harass you with the club DCP goals cos I have delegated them to the VPE".

The TOE busy preparing her opening act.

The audience listening attentively to the President as he unfolds his dreams for the club.

Another view of the President highly engrossed in delivering his address.

Tabletopics. Oh yes that much dreaded session that we have to endure in order to improve. TM Vallie was thrown a topic about "How to say NO to taking care of another person's dog".

Newbie TM Kenneth did well in telling us what he would do if he is given the chance to go back in time.

A view of our audience each engrossed in their own particular task.

The tabletopics master smiling and laughing as he watched gleefully how his topic is torturing his fellow members.

TM Dharma trying to justify why sometimes it is ok to tell lies.

TM Dr Subhassh, the resident in-house Dr, gesturing as he medically tells us "To err is human but to forgive is divine".

The Tabletopics Evaluator smiling as she proceeds to give feedback to the speakers. She uses the word of the day well when she said "I must learn how to say NO to the President if he gives me more work".

Also participating in the table topics session were DTM Robert Tan who spoke about "Saying NO as MC for your friend's son wedding" and TM Chandran who told us "How to say NO if your neighbour wants to borrow your new car". Unfortunately these two were unlucky as the photos uploaded refused to appear. Help Soo Guan, Heeelp!!! (Soo Guan is the Blog expert).

Time to make the stomach happy as the brain tires out during the Tabletopics session.

Food glorious food. Its time for Cantonese style Sang Mee for those at this table.

Moving on to the Prepared Speech session, TM Valentine abandoned her Environmental activist image and took on the role of a Ketua Kampung trying to inspire everyone to start Rukun Tetangga at Kg Toastmasters.

Next it was Capt Khalid who had everyone in stitches with his advice on Marriage.

Humorist TM Dharma continued to make us laugh with his brand of humour.

The TOE trying her very best to market our Club to the guests.
