SAA, Col. Nik Zaki called the meeting to order, President Rajesh welcomed members and guests, some members were still busy exchanging intellectual opinions about the abrupt departure of some higher ups in Putola Jahya.
Wearing the hat of an invocator, Razwan was inspiring as an adult who urged us to be curious like a 5 year old. That speech could be his #9 speech, Persuade with power!
Humor session was brought forward, Razwan changed his hat, and this time he was the humor master who tickled our bones with a joke about Queen Elizabeth, PM, DPM and also Lim Guan Ying. Yi Kang shared a joke as well, which, surprising got a response from Wendy, who didn't understand. Well, no point explaining a joke, as least she was listening.
TME arrived before 8p.m, Ceyvian looked like she had just completed a half marathon, but still have enough stamina to go the distance and complete full marathon. It must be an eventful day for her, I could see it from her melted make-up.
Rajesh was the boisterous TTM of the day with topics about being curious. However not everyone agreed, because not everyone is Einstein. Do you believe that Einstein is neither clever nor especially gifted? Kerain Shah certainly didn't think so, and dear sir, you have a point! Cyril Jonas was asked about, "First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity," and he answered like DTM Cyril Jonas. We will all have to wait another day to see Cyril Jonas in a tongue tied moment.
Rajesh is always the positive, "can do", "no problem", "i will show you how," go getter! He presented us with a conundrum on how to save Malaysia. Both he and PM, Najib Razak was on a mission yesterday. PM was all about saving Malaysia, purging one deputy at a time while Rajesh was about saving Malaysia, one mill at a time. A factual speech with frightening numbers on waste created in palm mills, but we in Rajesh we trust, to convert, "Waste into Energy."
Up next, Amar Pannu spoke about, "#3 Planning a vacation." Leave it to the expert, the man himself. After all, reputable travel consultants are like Google Maps who know better than everyone else and charge only a small fee. (you have the right now to blame somebody when your vacation gone wrong). Amar, it's only your speech #3, and we can see you becoming more confident and at ease with each speech, so join us more regularly.
Cyril Jonas was confident in his speech about,"Free yourself of limitations," which reminded me of this movie, Limitless. We particularly like Cyril Jonas anecdotal story-telling. This time it's about the fate of 2 monks, one who let self-perceived limit shackle him to death and the opposite monk who set himself free because he is his own limit.
Finally new joiner Jonny was the most passionate story teller. Breaking the ice with, "#1 My History," It was a showcase of passion, of self believe and overwhelming in positive energies. Bruce Lee's, "Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one," resonated loud and clear within us now! Good job Jonny.
GE was our own Anthony de Souza, his sharp wits, off the cuff comments laden with many take home pointers for all set the mood to end another marvelous evening at TMIKL. Former President of TMIKL Kwong Chee Seong was in the house! Even he was impressed how far TMIKL has come along since he left. We think he will be back to join us, maybe another stint as the President? Yes, Mr Kwong?
It was also Rhoda's birthday yesterday, we sang a belated Birthday Song, because not a single member's birthday should pass by without a whimper! Oh well, mine was in May, nobody sang me a song, but I still look forward to next year.
Thank you for a great evening, you guys are the ones who made TMIKL great. We are TMIKL, and we are a President's Distinguished Club"
See you at meeting #765!
