This is the last meeting for the Toastmasters year 2006/07 and we had a jolly good meeting.
The meeting started with Shirene handling the President's role and got everyone to introduce themselves and this time she ask us to tell us of our Commitment. The theme for the evening was Commitment to Excellence and the word of the day was AWAKE.
The Invocation Presenter was Monsieur who gave us his experience of reducing his weight and Philip conducted the Table Topics Session with the theme "If you were..." I felt the hardest was given to Monsiuer telling us What is he is a Durian, what he would tell his other fruit friends? The session went on well with 7 partipants. The TTE was Thilo and he gave some good comments and some sound recommendations. The Best TT speaker was Mohamad speaking if he was the PM.
Humour master for the evning was Levine. She tried but I guess, she needs a little more exposure to be a better HM.
During dinner, it was the first time I notice that the food almost cleaned up as it was delicious and well blanded. Thanks to Leong for making the arrangement.
There were three Assignment Speakers, Dr Gan on "Understanding the Big C", Leong on a controversial subject lke "War + Democracy" whilst Adam gave us is "Business Plan" as his Keynote Address. Respectively their evaluators were, Tillman, Monsieur and Masdiana. Tillman was voted the best Evaluator whilst Dr Gan got the Best Speaker Award.
The GE for the night is Freddy the President of Friendship. He gave a good impactful evaluation and a round of commendations for the club. The closing Ode was done by Thilo giving a tribute to the Outgoing EXco.
The Best Role player went to Raja the TME and the most Friendly goes to Shirene. Immediately after the meeting we have a birthday celebration for Shirene and Monsieur. Good cake supplied by someone who did not identify himself.

Dear Members,
Let me share a poem from Maxim Muyu with you : -
APPRECIATION
Appreciation,
Is it our greatest comfort?
To be something of value,
I keep thinking,
All the favour's I did for them,
For appreciation,
All they did to me for their glory,
And my downfall,
It will comeback unto them,
They wish to annihilate my throne,
Appreciation is what most of us need,
We like being admired,
Oh! like being admired,
Oh! like being on top,
Appreciation and love,
Most of us search for these.
Do you agree with Maxim on " Appreciation is what most
of us need " ?
Yes, I do !!! I agreed with him that all of us need
appreciation and encouragement in order to move
forward.
Fellow members, ask yourself, how many times you have
log on to our MII Toastmasters Club Blog :
http://toastmii.blogspot.com/ or when was the last
time you visited this Blog ?
Ask yourself, do you know how much effort it takes to
create a Blog ? Do you know how much time we need to
spend to write message to post up to the Blog ? Ask
yourself, do you know how to create a Blog ?
Do allow me to share something with you. There is ONE
member from our Club, who didn't know how to create a
Blog before, who doesn't know how to post a photo to
the Blog, who doesn't have much time but still
sacrifying his lunch time to write message to post up
to the Blog. Why ? Why he needs to spend so much
effort and time on this Blog which don't even have
people to pay visit ?
Let me tell you, it's because his commitment to the
Club, it's because he wants to do something for the
Club, it's because his promise as a Toastmasters.
My lovely friends from MII Toastmasters Club, let me
introduce you this sixty three year-old Distiguished
Toastmaster - Mr Mohamad Abdullah. He is not afraid of
the challenges, he practises life long learning, he
took the trouble to create the Blog, to write reports
of each meetings, to post up our recent activities
photographs and etc. But why only two or three members
from the Club appreciated what he had contributed for
the Club ? Why can't you make a practise to log on to
the Blog once a day ? once a week ? Once a month at
least ?
As I said last night, not only children need
encouragement to grow and improve further, adults also
need it ! No matter how senior or experienced one
person is, he or she still need encouragement and
appreciation in life.
My friends, my heart was so painful when I saw his
this message : " From a recent survey of the members
in MII TMC I notice that only two persons who
regularly reads the blog whilst the rest seemed not
really have the time to make the visit or just do not
know how. Poor thing. What have been written did not
reach it intended audience................. "
Come on, members ! Show us you care about our Club,
walk your Toastmasters' Promise, let us know that you
want to have more improvement in our Club, share with
us and let us feel that you are with us by leaving
your message in the Blog :

In table topics session, there is nothing right or wrong about airing our views.Therefore, DTM En.Mohamad Abdullah's concern about being detained under ISA is totally unfounded because it would be the Governemnts ultimate nightmare to detain him and suddenly have to deal
with a bunch of ISA detainees that have been trained in the detention camp to speak better by the DTM himself !!!
