We all have challenges in our lives and as one of our members so brilliantly put it, some of our challenge is to go up on stage to speak in front of a crowd.
But here in TMIKL, we support each other in overcoming challenges such as these by providing a condusive environment to deliver a speech and grow as a seasoned public speaker and as an individual.
This meeting is one testament to that. We had an unusually big turn out, with THREE past presidents in one meeting and DTM Sandrasegaran dropping by as our General Evaluator. It was certainly an interesting evening.
We had an interesting Table Topic session with topics ranging from the most challenging thing that you have done to an amusing topic on Never Awakening a sleeping dragon which was brilliantly tied to personal developtment. Enough of talk, let some of the pictures do the talking:
First up, we had our Seasoned Winning Guest, Lorna Fisher who never fails to win something from TMIKL whenever she visits us. This time, she won the best table topics speaker with her table topic scenario of leaving her family overseas for a financially rewarding job/opportunity.
Cyril with the benefits of being a bachelor boy. His ideas flowed so well that he had me thinking that he bribed our Table Topics Master Wai Chee before the meeting!
Next we had Ismail Omar with solving a Sudoku puzzle. Clever use of the board as a prop in his Getting Comfortable with Visual Aids.
Mas Rizal, our Humourous speech man. Remember to call him whenever you need a tickle on the funny bone once in a while.
It was certainly a memorable evening. It was certainly anything but NOT a reticent evening. The crowd was warm as usual, there was a whole lot of laughter throughout the evening.
Our next meeting will be on the 8th of September 2009. We hope to see all of you (or better yet, MORE of you) in our next meeting!
