PM to 5 PM – Toastmasters Chapter Meeting
5 PM to 6:30 PM – Team Building
6:30 PM onwards – Barbeque
I was surprised by the
wonderful venue for our barbecue.
We were surprised by a 'square' in our team building games.
Ricky surprised all of
us and won the best speaker award for his maiden speech!
‘The surprise is that
you continue to be surprised’. Stay tuned for more surprises.
The meeting kicked off with Chee Sian, Sergeant-at-Arms and asking
the audience, “What will you do for your mother in Mother’s Day?” All that we
are, or hope to be, we owe to our angel mother. Followed by our very own
President, Sathya delivering his opening address.
Then we had our Prepared Speech segment, began
by Ricky, who did his P1 Ice Breaker! He shared his target for this year and his
passionate reason to join toastmasters. We were stunned by his presentation and
wondered if this was P1 for CC or DTM.
Next up, Sridhar delivered his maiden
speech P1 for ice breaker. He shared how he overcame his challenges to join
toastmaster club. Well done for interacting with the audience.
Our 3rd speaker of the day
was Deb, and today was a momentous occasion as this is the first
time someone brought a blender to deliver his P8 Get Comfortable with Visual
Aids. I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. Deb does and I understood. Before today, nobody knew how to make an
Indian tea. After today, we all knew how to make it and how it tastes! Thank
you Deb for your tea!
Our last speaker, Pang spoke
about investment as part of his AP5 – Speaking to Inform. It started with a
song “Money Money Money” to grab our attention. Through the sharing of some
very useful and eye-catching statistics, Pang pieced apart the return
and risks of investment. His takeaway
message – Be mindful and pay respect to the market
All the speeches were very interesting, but
there could only be one best speaker, and that honor went to Ricky! What a diamond in the making! Congratulations!
After our “sweetest”
refreshment of ice cream and dessert, they were project evaluations conducted
by our impressive lineup of Anila,
Thomas, Hareesh and Ritz. Did you notice someone was preparing his evaluation
while others enjoyed their food and speeches? He was the best evaluator
for the day, Hareesh!
Congratulations!
Next up was Tables Topics
segment conducted by Zul. The theme was ‘Describe the item chosen
from the basket of surprises.’ The prizes were whatever you picked from the
basket! Rachel, Thomas, Christine,
Ricky, Deb, Vinay, Siew Ping hurried and picked up their surprises. Congratulations
to Deb who impressed us the most
with his imagination.
Next was Norman
But guess what folks,
our fun has just begun! After crossing a beautiful swimming pool, we reached
our barbecue pit. Our first challenge was to make different patterns using 7
pieces of different shapes. Chee Sian, we
just want to relax and enjoy. Please spare us from this kind of strenuous game
next time, ok?
Right after that, it
was lead the blind and make the word. Dashing off starting points, team A completed
the game within 4 minutes. It was 1 minute faster than team B. Well done!
Our funs continued
with Balloon War! We were divided to two teams. The team which pierce all
balloons from the other team was winner. Interestingly, Salma kept her balloon and did not pierce anyone. Why? Because she
was too smart and escaped from the battle!
Finally, barbecue
time! A person who does not like barbecue does not exist in our club. We all
gathered around the barbecue pit and fight for the foods.
WOW! Chicken wing,
corn, fish, mushroom, satay and HOTDOG! This was the heaven of food. All foods on table were finished in seconds!
Special thanks to all our guests who took
time off to visit us today, Christine and Siew Ping.
All in all, it was an enjoyable
afternoon, evening and night. Do join us for our next meeting on 23rd May.
Congratulations to all Award Winners!
