It was our seventeenth meeting for the semester 2008/2009 and our 44th meeting since the establishment of UM TMC. The theme of the meeting was Valentine’s Day. The Valentine’s Day will be celebrated on the 14th February 2009, this Saturday. So make sure you have marked this special day in your diary. Valentine's Day is not limited to boys and girls relationship, but also families and friends. Thus, do spend your time with families too.
The word of the day was ‘Love’. Meaning: A feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection. Actually we have picked up only the main meaning of the word ‘Love’. There are more meanings of ‘Love’ in the dictionary to be referred. Example of sentence - 'She is a good teacher and all her pupils love her'.
Our Sergeant-of-Arms called meeting to order at 5.15 pm sharp and we have started the meeting on time as scheduled. Let me repeat that, it was SHARP 5.15 pm. The welcoming speech was given by our Vice President of Education, TM Bee Guan, since our President is having a good time in Singapore. Dear CC Kimmy, can we have a trip to Singapore too but all expenses to be fully paid by the President? Ooops, again…wrong question!!!
The Toastmaster of the Evening, TM Rishi, took over the floor. I wonder why it always has to be TM Rishi as the TME for festival theme meetings…I have no idea. TM Rishi has made everyone to introduce themselves and to explain their plans for the Valentine’s Day. We can see that most of us will be spending our time with families and friends.
Next was the Table Topics Session by TM Bee Guan. There were six table topics speakers as the following and all of them were good speakers. Bravo!!!
1. Grace Rebekah
2. Chieng Tian
3. Bathusia
4. Ivy Lau
5. Vighnes
6. Fun
Anyone who needs advice on how to memorize things, you should book an appointment with Bee Guan, but I guess there could be some charges. He’s really good in memorizing. TM Deborah Chow was the Table Topics Evaluator.
Next was the Project Speeches as the following:
1. CC Project#1- Ice Breaker – ‘A Life Changing Event’ by TM Ivy Lau Lian Tze
2. CC Project#1- Ice Breaker – ‘Silent Stump?’ by TM Heng Jing Yi
3. CC Project#9- Persuade with Power – ‘Honesty is the Best Policy’ by TM Deborah Chow
Ivy Lau explained about her personal life story that was quite touching about how she has gone through some bad times in her younger age. Heng Jing Yi gave a speech on how she managed to regain herself after a few losses in academics and competition, and it was a touching one too. On the other hand, TM Deborah came with a different approach of speech about her friend who are not good in baking cakes but keep receiving false impression from others. Thus, always be honest - if it’s not good, just say it (but look through the overall situation as you don’t want to get in trouble).
Later, the General Evaluator (GE) took control. Our General Evaluator was none other than TM Bee Guan. It was the first time we were having our internally selected GE. We have to be the first in everything, right? Hehe…
The Project Speech Evaluators were TM Deborah, TM Rishi and TM Bee Guan. For TM Rishi, it was the first time of being a Speech Evaluator, and it was quite tough too. Maybe it would be better with more practices. The role players were TM Tham Hui Xin (Ah Counter), TM Ras Hadi (Grammarian), and TM Yee Xin (Miss Rolex). The Grammarian worked hard in this meeting as the word 'Love' was used many times. It was a new record for the Word of the Day.
Next was the award session. The Best Table Topics Speaker goes to…drum roll….drum roll….
