The original venue LT11, where our club usually held our meetings decided to have a technical problem on our meeting day, another wise a fine Saturday morning. Being toastmasters, we make use of any space to continue our toastmasters meeting. Therefore, we moved to a empty cafeteria just outside our usual venue, LT11.(we make proper use of the table and chairs of course). Chui Ling, TM then called the meeting to order.
Presidential Opening address by Dylan Chew
Toasmaster of the morning, Yean Yi, CC
Next was the table topics session, me being the table topicmaster this time*evil grins*. First volunteer that came up (showing great support) was Zahir(our very own Immediate Past President). His Topic was Which country would you like to travel to and why?
"I would go on a hot air balloon in Turkey " says Zahir.
Next was guest Adrian who was *uh um* sorta-forced by Yean Yi to be the next *volunteer*.
Adrian aims to build flying cars and solar powered cars.
Topic: If the sky is NOT the limit, what is the one thing that you want to do?
Fan Chen Keat, DTM talked about how the movie Pacific Rim inspire him the most although he admits that he is one that gets inspired by books rather than movies.
The last table topic speaker was Qiu (a girl, mind you) whose passion was maths, science and Aeronautical.
Pepared speeches were started off by Marilyn from Sunway TMC.
Heads up, Phones Down, Voice Out - Marilyn
Second prepared speaker, Fan Chen Keat, DTM (ex- Taylor's University Club Advisor) proceeds to promote toastmaster to everyone in attendance. His project manual was to promote with conviction. I'd say a lot of us are pretty convinced.
Icebreaker Anny speaks about herself. A naturally humourous person.
