Area P4 Contest 7/10/08

The TMIKL flag was flying high once again as we had our two flagbearers, Elizabeth Xavier and Dr Gurnam taking part in the Area P4 Contest. Competent Toastmaster Dr Gurnam displayed a splendid performance in the Evaluation Contest to become Area Champion, while Competent Toastmaster Elizabeth came in third in the Humour Contest.

Personally, I was itching to enter the contest as well. However, due to my role in another contest, I was not eligible to join. All in all, Dr G and Elizabeth did a great job representing TMIKL. Congratulations!! You made us proud!!

Faster, Higher, Stronger - TMIKL Meeting 12/8/08

Our meeting on Tuesday was honoured by the presence of 2 guest speakers, Toasmaster Ron Leong and Daniel Teh.

It was themed Citius, Altius, Fortius..meaning Faster, Higher, Stronger. Indeed, this Olympic motto should remind us that we should never be satisfied with our level of achievements at the moment. We should not be happy with 1speech, 3 speeches, 1 CC or 1 CL because the journey to public speaking excellence is a lifelong endeavour.

SAA: Elizabeth Xavier, CL
Acting President: Mas Rizal, TM
TME: Cheah Yeung Hua, CL
