Summary of Meeting #762, The bigger picture.

Meeting #762, The bigger picture.

A refreshing setting for the meeting as we got the bigger Keluli room for the anticipated bigger crowd. Ladies from Nawem trickled in, but alas, it wasn't a crowd as big as the afternoon downpour.

Our charismatic CC Anthony was the TME of the day, supported by calm and composed Rita, incoming President from NAWEM. TME, Anthony inadvertently tweaked the history of TMI, to the laughter of the crowd, but luckily GE was DTM Cyril. 


Invocation was done by yours truly, hopefully nobody found it too preachy, draggy and naggy.


DTM IO was the TTM and TT revolved around famous/infamous personalities. Would you be tongue tied if you were given TT to described Martin Luther King, no he is not a rapper, or Bill Clinton(I prefer to talk about Monica, her recent TED talk was impressive), how about someone closer to home like Tunku Abduh Rahman, P. Ramlee or Tun Mahathir? Sorry no topic on Mama Rosie.


CC Anthony closed the 1st half of the meeting with jokes on the Chinese. Can't believe how he imitated my voice, but at least everyone was entertained



Project speeches were brought to us by the confident Kulnam from Nawem and our own spirited Col. Nik Zaki.
Kulnam gave a speech on the fundamental of choosing the right property. Makes me wonder if I will ever own my own property. Maybe I will just wait and wait and wait until the subprime crisis and buy a burial plot instead


Col. Nik Zaki taught us how to be a distinguished club. The responsibility to be a president distinguished club certainly does on lie on the shoulder of DTMs in TMIKL only. Have we played our part to move the club forward? Have we learned anything from TM? Have we helped to others to improving their speaking skills?


We certainly missed our other dynamic and colorful personalities like, Rhoda, Rajesh, Dalila, Nik ayman, kerain shah, endrea, stirling, razwan, ammar, sharliza, Wendy, Sidney, Jesselyn, kavin, Jason toh, mugilen, andre...names that I missed out here, I will return with a chocolate bar if you say Hi.


Overall, lukewarm meeting, but certainly glad to see the tireless regulars who never say goodbye to TMIKL because TMIKL will never forsake us, we just have to come back to the meetings.


The bigger picture takes time to paint, when it is done, you will all be surprised that everyone is just as good as Picasso.
