Hi guys, I hate to start a conversation with an apology but this must be an exception. I have been missing for sometime now and here I am back - as no one wants to do the job. Huh...pity me huh.
Our meeting on 26 August 2008 was a little different as the President wants all our contestants to redo their speeches at the club and members present to whack them hard into shape. I will leave the details out just concentrate on the program - fine with you guys?
Mohamad, you know who he is, still talking about the DOT, the dirty or Distinguished Old Toastmaster stuff and the members didn't seemed to be very entertained. Everyone gave their opinions on how they view his Humour Speech and I guess Willy hit him right on the head - Be yourself. I guess, I can speak for him as he just cannot relax and be himself. When he is on the stage he is a different monster. He needs to change.
Another Mr M, Mr Monsier he told us about the same thing and Mohamad told him to make it like he is being reborn, getting out of the hole for the second time, but this time he is fully aware of what is going on. Unfortunate for him, nothing went wrong with Mohamad and he has to stand by till next year perhaps.
On Evaluation, Anna was great but our President felt that being too confident is not good. Anna should go behind the rostrum and speak like the rest. Whilst this is true to some point but for the Division and District levels, you would not be able to win if you stay behind the rostrum. Anna as usual, motherly type, giving her evaluation witout notes and very structure. You want to be a good Evaluator, buy her lunch and she will help you improve by leaps and bounds.
I should also report on the Table Topics Session conducted before the Humour Speech Rehearsal. Zarini was the Master and gave topics related to Patriotism and the best speaker went to theis Cellgen guy Willy, very calm and composed kind of a guy. When Adam Fung is the TME all the best roles will be his. He took the Best Role Player and the most friendly person for the evening. Next time he should be graceful enough to bestow his award to another as he is getting too many already.
That is all I got for you and I hope you are happy with the brief reporting style.

Yes, the blogmaster has been missing for a while but in MII-TMC, we must always remember that you can run but you can never hide from the most powerful man in the club ( IPP included ).
I was just explaining to a few members that i can never be a blogmaster because it requires a different set of skills for e.g. reporting skills. My writings are of a different nature, mostly life experiences from what i observe but put in a humorous way.
But i am sure that out of the 28 members that we currently have, there must be one raw diamond waiting to be discovered and polished into an accomplished blog writer. Just step forward and start to write. There's no shame in trying. Just email me your observations for the meeting and i will edit it with the blogmaster and have it posted with all credit due entirely to the original writer. So, please step forward NOW
to serve your club.
" Ask not what your club can do for you, Ask what you can do for your club " - this saying is a collaboration between the most powerful man in MII-TMC together with the most powerful man in USA -
John F Kennedy.
