TMIKL. Go for it!


What a way to start the term by having the term "Go For It".
For once we had more members than guests in a long long while.
Don't get us wrong, we are proud of it. In fact, we believe in the expression "the more, the merrier"

The meeting started on time, although I did not arrive on time.
In typical TMIKL style, we had changes, embraced them, and improvised.
Yes, we TMIKL-ians are Masters of Improvisation.

Cyril Jonas, our Past President became the Sergent At Arms as Louis Gan, our SAA could not make it.

While Sandra Ghouse took the challenge of being the Table Topics Master with just a few minutes notice. Talk about inpromtu preparations.

We had a few TableTopics contestants:
- Myself (Sidney Ng)
- Cyril Jonas
- Emily
-Lorna
- Lucy
- Sok Ling
- Michael

We had 2 great assignment speeches, Michael Oon, a veteran Toastmaster, with his folk story of The Brahmin, Jackal and the Tiger (or something along those lines). Next, we had a heartwarming speech by our newest and upcoming speaker, Chong Wai Chee, barely in her 3rd speech, she has managed to capture our attention.

The meeting went on time. We finally had a winner for our Table Topics, ::drumroll:: it was none other than one of our Guests from KL Advanced Toastmasters Club, Lorna Fisher. She inspired us with Carpe Diem, or Seizing the Day. I think that went quite well with our theme Go For It!


Our next meeting will be on 11th August 2009, same time (7.45pm) , same place (Banker's Club, AMODA Building, Jln Imbi).
We hope to see you there on the 11th!
