UMTMC's 100th Club Meeting

5 December 2011, Monday marked another milestone for University of Malaya Toastmasters Club as we celebrated our 100th meeting.

We were glad to have Distinguished Toastmaster Vincent Hor as our General Evaluator who was also the GE for our club's first meeting and Distinguished Toastmaster Dr Devi, our club advisor with her signature sandwich style evaluation. Speaking of sandwich, the meeting refreshment was too awesome to describe as Daddy Vincent brought us a big box of KFC and Dr Devi with her homemade sandwich.

Dr Devi's Retirement

We celebrated Dr Devi's retirement in this special meeting where we were also visited by a special guest, Mohd Arif from Qatar.

One important lesson learnt from Dr Devi's retirement speech,'No one will ever retire from the Toastmasters journey'. Although she has retired from work, she is now more dedicated in educating and enriching more people, and this inspires us to love what we do and do what we love.

Meeting No.97 and Updates

Hi friends,

We had our 97th meeting today. I would say it was a roller coastal ride starting from the rain but everything went on smoothly and the meeting ended with lots of fun and enjoyment.

Here are some of the highlights of our meeting:

Sara, the best table topic speaker. =)

Toastmaster Wan Ping with her speech #2: Your Most Ridiculous Fear

Toastmaster Rishi is now Competent Communicator Rishi!

Both tied for best project speaker. Well done!

Our VPE, CC Ivy Lau presenting a gift to CC Jing Yi for best evaluator.

A job well done by everyone, especially TM Ing Ting (Ah Counter), TM JiaQuan(Grammarian), TM Wan Ping(Timer) and CC Kah Fai(General Evaluator) for attempting the roles for the first time!

Today, our meeting ended with 2 great news:

1. We have 2 new members in our club. They are Fatima and Sara! Welcome to our Toastmaster family.

2. After 3 years, Toastmaster Rishi is officially Competent Communicator Rishi. Congratulations!

I am so proud of the commitment played by everyone in this semester. It's time to take a short break, away for 'testophobia' (fear of taking test) and enjoy our one week semester break.
