Area B5 gathered in the KEU Toastmasters Club venue (which will be now known as the place with the view of Genting). Scope, Crystal, Taylors Uni and KEU were united by the area governor Ng Sok Teng who has done a wonderful job of bringing us together for a fruitful meeting!
Fruitful? Oh yes.
RM1 Angpaus, RM2 Angpaus and a RM10 food voucher as tokens of appreciation for the bold volunteers who delivered a table topics speech! Thanks Andrew (Table Topics Master from KEU) for motivating the participants to give Table Topics a go!
1. Francis Sales, TM from Scope came up first! attempting "What have been your fond achievement in 2012"
Quoting him "People don't take me for a shy guy, but I am!; I'm also a good Actor". He touched about his balance of work commitments which hindered his progress in Toastmasters when he joined in 2011.
2.Yean Yi, TM from TUTMC. "Red equals Chinese New Year".
"I don't really have a choice, every year I am forced to shop for red clothes for the New Year", "Red, resembles Luck, it is powerful in the mind of the Family!"
The point is, Yean Yi suggest we should respect Colours within cultures.
3.Shaun's angpao gave him a Food Voucher and "2012 Failed Resolutions".
"Who here doesn't have problems?"...<sneaky trick>"What happens if you stopped doing what you loved, because you couldn't anymore. This, is happening to me..."
To stay fit is Shaun's aim, but the way he is getting it done is more Realistic.
4."2013 Dream" what do you know. Linda Phoon also strives to keep fit/slim.
She shared she would go on a diet or perform cycling exercises to get her favourable figure.
She demonstrated flair and showed impressive body gestures to reinforce her message about how we SHOULD strive on our embarkment of Hopes.
5.Madame President of Scope, Kew Lee Seah offered herself to another angpao. It read "CNY Experience".
"It was the time we cleared the House, just before it gets messy again, then we wait until the next New Year..."
She delivered how her family had issues with hoarding furniture but always rearrange to make the house look, brand new.
6.Finale showed Alex from KEU, taking an Angpao with the topic being "AngPao".
Broad Topic yet tough to tackle in many ways. "Ang Pao, is not just to insert money,... it is a place for family to send their blessings.".
So, the next time you receive an Ang Pao, find out who it is from and count your blessings (literally).
Humor Master Lim (KEU) then joked about how life can sometimes teach you (women) not to lie about your age in many ways such as losing money in a single bet because you lied to an attractively good-looking gentleman that 24 is the same as 42.
Kheng Wee (Scope) completed The Icebreaker and the title of his speech was ..'Turning Point'."Singapore do you know where is that?'' "Oh yes I know Singapore!" "Oh, Malaysia is just above Singapore!" "What?!"
His Evaluator was Shaun.
Seng Kiat (Chicken Little) (Taylor's Uni) then proceeded to deliver his 5th speech from the CC manual, his title being 'Golden Slumber'. He stressed on how sleep is a physiological imperative, and started with his story of burning the midnight oil with a pinch of procrastination getting in his way."Being an architecture student taught me how to appreciate every second of sleep I get!"
His evaluator was Linda (Crystal).
Jane (KEU) presented her speech as well, "Conquering the Cold Call" from her Persuasive Speaking Manual! She tried to 'sell' her state of the art food processor to the very realistic customer Alex (KEU).
"You can call me anytime." *cue WINK ;)
Her evaluator was Kew (Scope).
Mushrooms (cupcakes from Mario), Coffee, Kuih and water were provided! The mushrooms were quaint but did appeal to many people Yean Yi and made them just Yean Yi take photos of it instead of eating them.
Thank you to all role players for making this meeting a successful one! We wouldn't have done it without you!
