Inspite of the rain and inspite of the heavy traffic I am pleased to see 13 active members present and two guests with three visiting Toastmasters. The visitors were Kiang Faang Pyng, DTM from Premier Advanced our Past President, Wei Lin from TTDI and Lincoln from Gurney, Penang. The guests were Jerene (Pyng's guest) and another a guest of Lovingly.
Thank you guys for bringing your guest to the club and I hope more members will make an effort to bring one for the next meeting. Identify them now and start your strategy in wooing them.
This time our VPE Levine started the meeting and introduce the TME our Mr Leong Kok Wah. After the ritual he called on Ho to present his Invocation which I though was well done but it should not be a speech as it has a negative impact. Just read a poem or motivational piece it would be more refreshing.
Table topics was carried out by IPP Sherine and he let us dig into her bag and took out red stuff. The speakers were Mohamad, Willy, Philip, Jenine and Mano. The winner goes to Willy. The Evaluator for this session was Anna.
For the Manual Speech only Philip took the rostrum and give his project #10 whilst Leong did his preparation for the Area Contest. Dr Gan was Philip's evaluator whilst the rest of us were having a fun time poking at our President.
Birthday boys for Feb were Mano and Ho. The food was good as usual and Mr President also brought a goodie bag for each of us. Some of us brought more than one bag home. On top of this he gave us an Ang Pow with 1+3D in it. (Didn't know about it until Thursday). Tough to keep up with him always bribing us with good stuff.
Anyway, the Most Friend Person for the night goes to .......and the King... YES its ANNA Hue and the Best Role Player for the night went to non-other than another PP Kiang Faang Pyng as GE.
Some Announcements were: Area W3 Contest will be on 22 Feb 2009 at Sai baba Club at 3.30pm and our 17th Anniversary will be on 24 Feb 2009 at our Club. Members are strongly recommended to take note of this and bring their friends especially for the Anniversary meeting.

Dear Fellow members,
The CNY meeting in our club is now a hallowed tradition in the club right from the ang pow decorations in the room up to the "yee sang" dinner on the 4th floor.
What was most special about this CNY meeting was the G.E. for the evening - Past President DTM Kiang Faang Pyng. The last time she was here in our club, it was during our 15th anniversary meeting in 2006. It was certainly a great pleasure to welcome home the prodigal daughter of this club. For the record, she was VPE 1998/99 and President 99/2000 and i believe she must be amazed at how this club has grown over the years.
Most of all, this CNY is about perseverance as we patiently persevere over the financial tsunami that is sweeping across the world.
But i am confident that Toastmasters will ride out this storm because Toastmasters can always talk their way out of anything !!!
May the Year of the Ox bring you peace , progress & prosperity.
Cheers,
leong
