The bigger picture - Meeting #761 - 9th June 2015

#761 The bigger picture. 

Usual suspects attended the meeting, namely Cyril Jonas, Ismail Omar, Rhoda Omar, Anthony de Souza, Richard Toh, Rajesh Wadhwani, Mariel, Endrea Hugh & Yi Kang.

Absence of many were felt, hope they miss us too. Meeting room was half full but TMIKL was determined to put up a good show. 

Gorgeous GE Solmaz from Premier Advance TM and DTM Victor Ong from Inderahana graced the meeting with their presence. We were also delighted to have 2 other guests (potential members?).

Mariel was the dutiful TME without the script. TMI and Ralph C Smedley's history is like periodic table, difficult to memorize for some, but Mariel remembers every single turn of event like how she has the multiplication table in the back of her head.

TTM Anthony shifted the gear and stepped up the pace with TT centered around a new word "wajjib" with no relation to PM at all. Wajjib can be used both as noun or verb. For example, keep to your promises, don't be such a wajjib. Or, I don't think they are coming, I have been wajjib-ed. 

3 speeches by 3 DTM and one future DTM.

CC Rajesh was the suave MAC guy who demonstrated how to purchase a MAC book online for better reliability productivity, and some say for vanity.

DTM Victor Ong entertained us with his acrobatic vocal varieties, agile facial expressions and fluid body language in his speech about finding happiness in depression. Full of dark humor and sarcasm but not lacking in sharp observations and great wisdom.

DTM Cyril Jonas was the sleek defense lawyer who defended the innocent "but" with valor, vigor and conviction. "But" was acquitted without his defense being called. If only CC Ceyvian was here, she would be vindicated. 

DTM Ismail Omar enlightened everyone with the moment of truth. Have we been doing it right, wrong, or how come we never thought about it. One thing missing from TMIKL is real social activity, other than our WhatsApp group which is buzzing non stop. Can we hear some suggestions from the members already? Buka puasa feast, anyone?

An important observation from GE Solmaz, TMIKL needs more members to attend the meeting, some works need to be done here to excite members to attend more regularly.



TMIKL is like a big jig saw puzzle made up of small pieces which are the members. Let us move forward together, leap further and form the bigger picture.

See you at the joint meeting with NAWEN on 23rd June 2015, Tuesday 7-10pm!
