Eighth Meeting - Acronym

The eighth meeting was held on 17th Sept 2008. I will be making some changes in this report to make it the theme report - Acronym, unlike other meeting reports.

The meeting was started at 4.48 pm and our gorgeous President, TM KF, gave a welcoming speech and continued to play the role of TME. The theme of the day Acronyms....hmmm.....there will be a lot of acronyms in this report - so be prepared not to confuse yourself.

Next was the TTS by TM FMW. There were altogether five speakers of the TTS - ACS CL MM, TM HS,TM GRT, CC KS,TM P. The questions were quite challenging and some were complicated. I still couldn't figure out some of the questions till now. Good move TM FMW, you really made the TTS speakers to think at a high range. The TTE was done by CC KSH from MAICSA TMC. Thank you CC KSH.

The project speeches were as the following:

1. Ice Breaking - titled "AVOFT" - by TM FMW
2. Ice Breaking - titled "About Me" - by TM NJ
3. Inspire Your audience - titled "Courage to Conquer" by TM DCYK

Congrats to TM FMW and TM NJ for presenting their first speech confidently. It's the first move to the world of Toastmasters. For TM DCYK, well done on your approx 10 minutes speech. This speech has showed us your true credibility that you are prepared to represent our area for the upcoming contest.

Feel confused with the acronyms? Hold on....Still more to go.....

Thank you to our speech evaluators ACB CL CO (from Mid Valley TMC), ACS CL MM, and CC KS (from DKC TMC). We are pleased to have you in the meeting. Not to forget, our GE of the evening - CC JG (from UNITAR TMC).

The other role players were TM TC as AC, TM RH as G, and TM RG as TK.

Finally, it was the TTBS.......drum roll......drum roll........Dear President, can we get a drum for real as it would be rambunctious for our upcoming meetings?.......oh, forgotten.......drum roll...drum roll.....
