The meeting started with an induction session, congratulations to Seng Kiat (FINALLY), Kessie, Wilson and Valerie. 
Hope you will have a lovely and wonderful time being with us, as we continually strive to demonstrate flair every 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month.


Shalini from Monash came up with four very mentally challenging topics for our Table Topics, followed by four superbly brave volunteers who decided to GO ALL YOLO ON THE TOPICS rise up to the occasion.


There were TWO ICEBREAKER SPEECHES TODAY! Very well done Wilson (The World Through My Eyes) and Kessie (A Peek Inside My Heart), both speeches were very smooth (like how Timothy likes his morning coffee). The remaining two speeches were by Dylan (Holes Inside by Joe Brooks) and I (Mr YT).

We were all swept away by our prepared speech evaluators who were Timothy, Kwoon Yuen, Samuel and Stephanie. Thank you for the lovely advice you have shared with us.
Our winners for the day?

Best Table Topics, Yean Yi (again PFFT :p).

Like any meeting, the brief history was given by the TOM and after that DTM Fan, gave an interesting insight on how baseball could relate to life enrichment. 


The Table Topics session then started, with TM Leon giving topics to brave volunteers (Imrann, Chen Choon, Me, Jennifer, Ben and Jonathan DING) which were are related to Oktoberfest for example, how would you celebrate Oktoberfest with your family which was given to Jennifer Pan of Crystal Club. 


The prepared speeches began with TM Me with CCM Project #4, "Nine lives".
"YOLO, is also known as the dumbass version of carpe diem." Shaun said in his speech.


 CC Stanley from Monash evaluated him:"I'm a very dirty minded person and the word 'satisfied' could actually be easily misinterpreted as it is very ambiguous." "You also really inspired the people who have fallen out of love, to get them back on track."



Next was TM Azwan with his speech from CCM#6 "That's why I quit roulette."


 "Have you even had that one uncle who tells you tons and tons of stuff and then you just sit there because you couldn't understand what he was trying to say?", "If you could memorize your speech it would be much much better!" TM Radhika, his evaluator said.



3rd on the agenda was TM Yean Yi with CCM#7, with her speech title "Only love."
"So what do you need? Only love." Yean Yi said.


TM Jonathan evaluated her by starting off saying how she reminds him of a cute black and white cartoon. "I'm amazed at the number of quotes you used, if I am not mistaken 5!" He continued.




Lastly, Jennifer Pan with her 3rd speech from the ACS manual, "Super brain yoga." "All of these steps must be in order.." as she pointed out the importance of the sequence of the movements.."If not the effects will be reversed!" 


ACB Chen Choon then gave a thorough and well organized evaluation, dividing it into three parts: objectives, skills used and points of improvement.

Chen Choon and Radhika, the best evaluators of the day!

Yean Yi, best prepared speech of the day!

 Chen Choon, best Table Topics of the day!
