Hollywood, or Bollywood? TUTMC 18th Meeting of the Term


Taylor's University Toastmasters are at it again!
This time it is the 18th Meeting of the 4th year the club is running. The theme was...
Hollywood? or Bollywood?

What could be installed...?

Club President Dylan Chew, CL acknowledge the presence of dear members and guest and ask for a short introduction from everybody and which they personally preferred

Hollywood or Bollywood?
From Tree Hugging to Slow-motion fighting.
From flawless story telling to unnecessary explosions.
There were many opinions about it!

We had around 18 in attendance at our venue at
Block D level 1, Classroom 8


Leon Saw being the emcee or Toastmaster of the Morning!

An invocation speech was presented by Zahir Ahmad ACB, CL regarding how hard it is to be patient and fulfill resolutions.

"Why do people still drive into SmartTag lanes? Chances are there is a reader malfunction and a queue will form. While I will use the empty Touch'N'Go Lane and be on my way~"


Table Topics was different this time.
There were 2 role-play topics which pulled out the spontaneity between partners.




Romeo & Juliet. (Gender reversed)



Car broke down. No Phone reception in the dessert.

Zahir & Prethiba *Having too much fun.*



University guest Mok, displaying his own flair.





Desmond giving he's professional  take on the Table Topic event.


We had two prepared speakers for the morning.

First up was Jason from Sunway TMC. 
He talked about being individually unique, quoting from the Book "How to make friends and influence People"

Next was club member Azwan ,CC


Motioning Poetry - Azwan's attempt at Poetry in the Advance Manual - Interpretive Reading.
"Seek and you shall find this, the blind shall lead the blind into destruction"


Then it was the Evaluation session where Zahir ACB, CL & Ramdas Nayar, DTM were evaluators for the speakers involved.

Zahir said "I thought you nailed your speech objectives of appropriate Body Language, as for the speech organization, I felt that I heard several stories which did not tie into one."

Ramdas offered "Poetry is about delivering on behalf of the poet with their emotions".

Lastly is the role players report.

Club Treasurer, Pravinan Lai, TM who doesn't have a picture here due to he's overwhelming appearance was Grammarian and did not cause any 'Bloopers' on his end.

Dylan Chew, CL reported as Ah-Counter despite he's additional chore as Table Topic Master.

Adam, TM with his Time Keeper Report.

DTM, Ramdas Nayar who is the Immediate-Past District Governor offered plenty of usable input for the club to consider.

Today's winners are ~~~

Table Topics role-play win by Prethiba & Zahir

DTM, Ramdas Nayar, graced our event as the General Evaluator.

Overall, enjoyable meeting as always. Looking forward to covering more Club events!
