Either on stage or as part of inter-personal communication. As part of TMIKL's effort to underscore the importance of body language, we have devoted an entire meeting's theme to the effective use of body language.
We had a very "animated" Lucy Zane as our Toastmaster of the Evening. Making her "virgin" attempt to be a TME. She did a wonderful job.
We had an interesting Table Topics session with each topic incorporating the element of body language. Very nicely done. I was equally stumpped when I had to answer my table topic question about action speaking louder than words.
In the end, our new member, Sookling took home the award of being the best table topics speaker with her humourous account on how body language actually speaks volumes compared to just mere words.
We had 2 assignment speeches and one more that never happened.
Ismail Omar gave an amusing account of living every moment to its fullest and telling people about how we feel as we will never know which moment will be our last.
I personally found that very inspirational and Ismail's speech style certainly gave us a twist to his story.
We also had Louis, our youngest member talking about Dodgeball. A game that can be played by both boys and girls on the same court!
Louis's courage to speak, to step above his comfort zone is very much admirable. As much as his love for the game of dodgeball.
We had a very "veteran" but young at heart (aren't we all young at heart) DTM Lachmichand who gave an interesting evaluation and some trip down memory lane on how TMIKL was during the "good old days". Surely things were cheaper, politicians were less corrupt but we the younger TMIKL still believe that the spirit of Toastmastering is still alive and strong with us!
Overall, we learnt a great deal from each other and we look forward for our next fun filled meeting on Festivities. Hopefully we will have some ketupat, lemang, rendang and mooncakes to munch on the next meeting!
