CC Ing Ting gave a stunning evaluating speech; highlighting the best and what could be polished in an advanced speech while TM Wei Chin delivered a Humorous Speech. So how did we fare?

RAWR! CC Ing Ting got 2nd Runner-up for her evaluation while TM Wei Chin got 1st Runner-up

Meeting No.113

Theme : Wearing Green

Word Of The Day : Nickname

Yesterday was our last meeting in this semester. As the last gathering, we fixed wearing green clothing as the theme of the day as an action to support the "Go Green" awareness. In fact, everyone of us was asked to say out the nickname given to us.

The table topic session was conducted by our in-coming president, TM Wei Chin as her very first attempt! In fact, it was her very impromptu table topic session~ =D The table topic speakers had briefly told us something related to their nicknames and that really soared the meeting~

The meeting even went slight uncontrolled I should say especially in the project speeches session. The first project speech speaker, TM Kevin Chee (Dr Yeoh) told about the TYPES OF ABORTION with scary body languages showing how fetus can be aborted by curretage method. The audiences even felt terrified when listening to second project speech speaker, TM Siau Inn (Siau Siau) with her title, PHOBIA-KNOWING THEM. This had made us recall back our frightening moment! TM Agnes (A HONG) calmed our mind down with her speech title, STRESS by teaching us how to overcome stress with several tips~ I could still remember her "RELAX" tips in handling stress. Here came the final speaker, TM Yik Ming (A MING) telling us that COMPETITION IS BAD FOR CHILDREN. In fact, competition is at everywhere~

"Even if you're not my rival today, you could be tomorrow!"

Here are some highlights of our meeting:

Mother of the club, DTM Dr Devi giving her evaluation on the table topic session.

TM Ing Ting (Chabo) with her first general evaluation.

TM Siau Inn (Siau Siau) got the BEST TABLE TOPIC SPEAKER!

TM Yik Ming (A MING) got the BEST PROJECT SPEAKER!

Group photo of the members during our last meeting. T.T

Group photo of 2012/2013 New EXCO. Cheers~

The GREEN party! =D

The last meeting is not the end of us~ It is just a temporary stop for us. There is no ending to every journey.

Goodbyes are not forever.

Goodbyes are not the end.

They simply mean we'll miss you all.

Until we meet again!

Take care, fellow TM~ We shall meet again very soon! I believe in that! =)
