'New Year,New You? A time to start Fresh!' TUTMC 12th Meeting Of The Term

Ok, so a BRIEF Meeting update on our part.
A special start to the first Toastmasters meeting for TUTMC.

A good friend and fellow Toastmaster, Shaun Liew, recently came back from jolly-olde England and graciously offered up his home for the first meeting of the new year, with the theme, appropriately enough, 'New Year,New You? A time to start Fresh!'

 

In order to start the meeting, we actually have to get there

Eventually...

Busy preparing (helping self to tea)


 

Rostrum? Lectern? on Rollers?

 

First timer, Yun Qiu, TM timing

 

Grammarian Yean Yi with the word of the day, Ameliorate, which was used ad nauseam

 

Small "English" breakfast before a meeting

 

Table Topics master (mistress?) Ashikin Aidura, with "new" being the theme. And "surprise me" as the common answer

 

 Wilson Wong, with his usual politician/salesman style of speaking

Also spoke was Zahir, Zhenyu (Shaun's 'room-mate'), Azwan & Shaun

And with the Table Topics session concluded, it's on to the main event, the prepared speech session, with two speeches coming up, by Lalitha and Azwan



Resuming in 3...2...Go!

  

Lalitha's - Small outburst of anger is totally acceptable

 

Not sure if speech or photo bomb...it is the first humourous speech in your advance manual so...funny? - Azwan's "New Year, Smew Year"

With the speeches given, it's time to evaluate

  

 Table Topics Evaluator, Dylan Chew...Yeah, no comment here...

 

 Azwan's evaluator, Zahir Ahmad, also evaluating (Ignore the pen-mustache woman below) 

And there was the Table Topic winner. MD Wilson! We lost the pics so this will do.

  Lalitha's evaluator, Wilson Wong, evaluating

Past Member and member at heart Shaun Liew, CC was General Evaluator and didn't hold back on fulfilling he's duties. He suggested that although it was a peculiar and CASUAL meeting, the amount of interuption across the table could be better controlled. Otherwise a, young ,dynamic and all those vibrant lingo, kind of meeting.

,

As standing in General Evaluator for this meeting, the club presented him a hand gift token (for he's hospitality, piano music & Yean Yi's breakfast).

That marks the end of our little homey meeting, next is the main Event!

LUNCH @ Shaun's Area

That's it!

Busy job searching!
