Meeting on 14th September 2010

This meeting was unusual. For the first time in the history of the club, we have a special session where the winner of the club humorous speech contest, delivered his speech again in the club and the club members evaluated him on different areas. This replaced the tabletopics session. The photos below captured the moments at this meeting forever.

The audience listening diligently at the meeting.

ACG Lee Kah Tor evaluated Robert on gesture.

GT Singam evaluated on vocal.

TM Chandran evaluated on content.

CC Indra thought the speech was not humorous enough.

CC Kala gave her opinion too.

ACG Lee Kah Tor stood up to give his comments again.

TM Dharma couldn't resist giving his opinions.

Our in house Dr, stood up and gave his non-medical opinion.

Not to be left out, TM Chandran spoke what was on his mind.

TM Sukumaran stood up to say he thought the speech was humorous, for he was listening to it for the first time, unlike others.

CC Indra's husband, stood up to give his own opinion for Robert to improve.

After a hard brain storming session, it was time to refill with "RON 95 petrol" and relax before the next brain storming session.

This definitely was not the pasar malam being invited to our club meeting. It was TM Kay Ku explaining the various types of fabrics and she came armed with her husband's shirts. The size (XL) fits me and I was actually tempted to steal one home, especially the Durban branded one.

TM Vallie gave a speech honouring DTM Robert Tan. It was so real, complete with inviting the President to give away the award to Robert.

CC Kala evaluated on Kay Ku's speech.

CC Chua Eu Chieh did evaluation for CC Vallie.

Language Evaluator Dharma, evaluated on the standard of English used at the meeting.

Guest Carnejin counted the "ahs" for us.

Timekeeper Kenneth kept time for us.

General Evaluator Valentine evaluating the meeting in general.

The president giving the "Best Speaker" award to his wife. Woi! Ada pakat kah?

The best evaluator award goes to ..........................

The President closing the meeting.

The cashier, oops! the Treasurer, collecting dues from members at the end of the meeting.

It was a great meeting. If you were there, thank you for making a difference. If you were not there, do try to make an effort to attend the next session.

See you.

Listening intention

When we listen with the intent to understand others, rather than with the intent to reply, we begin true communication and relationship building. Opportunities to then speak openly and to be understood come much more naturally and easily.
