The 1111 Meeting with 101 Session Guest Speaker Mr Enrique Tsou!
Before the meeting started yesterday, the short & quick down pour did not deter us from commencing the meeting 5 minutes earlier than usual. Thank you GE Lay Kun for granted us this credit !
TME Bernard Louis, dubbed the 'Man of the Club' saved the day from an inadvertent omission of meeting program at the begining of the meeting. Each sessions went on without a cloud on the horizon. It was all plain sailing. Great job Bernard!
Our 101 Session Guest Speaker, Mr Enrique Tsou of SWET Advancement Centre enriched us with the gist of Law of Attraction. His immense erudition brought the audience felt the sparks of breakthrough. "What you want, Wants you!" elicited a few members' agreement on finding parking space by using such awareness. The same gist is applicable to people looking for result of a team. And it's not all, the Q&A was set openly and Enrique brought us inch closer again between the Law and reality. The whole 101 session was awesomely awesome!!! On behalf of the club, thank you Enrique for your kind sharing!
After the intermission, here came the the prepared speech session, its variety was the spice!
I was impressed by toastmaster Dinesh delivered a speech titled "Positive Thinking". There were many tips offered by him on how to stay thinking positively, brilliant Dinesh! Next, a profound presentation on "Forgiveness" earned my respect to her, toastmaster Nur Iylia! How many of us could really forgive a murderer, instead of put a deadly blame in the first place which most people do ? Iylia's story touched us. To dim the serious mood after this, uncle Foong entertained us with his startled action, highly animated with self-made sound track on a topic titled "DV -- Dosmestic Violence". It was fantastically done! However, the main focus was lies in his thoughtful substance of the speech and research work. Hence, he deserved the Best Assignment Speaker Award of the night, congrat uncle Foong!
Last but not least, Ivan Ho attempted a difficult project from an advanced manual on 'The status Report about AD Server". He was well prepared with the explanatory slides and use loads of highly technical term in subject. This could be the cause of over took the 4-step pattern (objective, scope, finding and recommendtion) which he was specifically asked to delivery.
The Speech Evaluation Session took centre by our lovely GE Lay Kun with her team of evaluators Sheila, S Subramaniam, Siew Peng and Chee Wah. They gave their sincere and constructive remarks to the speakers not only according to the speech objectives, but also extra food for thought personally. Subramaniam won the Best Speech Evaluator Award AGAIN, 2 times consecutively. His keenness in helping others and spirit of toastmaster is noticeable.
What electrified the ambience more was the positive and long missed clamour during the Open Evaluation. This uniqueness of D'Utama Advanced's was restored with intense vitality, to mention a few supporters eg Dennis Wee, Chee Wah, Dr Arulnathan, Sheila Wong, S Subramaniam and etc. Their spontaneity and witty feedback added weight to the quality of Open Evaluation session, as well as benefits to the assignment speakers.
Overall, yesterday's meeting was one of best that imparted the essence of public speaking practise. Keep going friends!
