22nd Meeting - NUMB3RS

49th meeting since the day UM TMC was born was themed numbers for we decided that numbers dictate our lives one way or the other and giving tribute to it was one way of realising how important it is.

The word of the day: Nominal (adj). A nominal value does not show what something is really worth or really costs because it does not take into account changes in the price of other goods and services (not real) .

The meeting started slightly later than usual due to the rain. However, we all had a fun time watching the videos which Daddy Vincent brought for us. We had the opportunity to watch Jim Key and other distinguished speakers from around the world just before the start of the meeting. Thank you Vincent.

CC Deborah then took over as the TME and started off in a cute manner where she asked everyone to say a number and the story behind the number. It was a fun introductory session and it opened the doors for us to know each other better.

The table topics session was handled by TM Nyuk Jet who turbo-ed herself to the club meeting in the rain to conduct the table topics session. Thanks Turbo Jet! We had 6 speakers who are:

1. Hadi
2. Wynlyn
3. Deborah
4. Grace
5. Yu He
6. Kuang Shan

DTM Vincent then took over the TT Evaluation as he evaluated and gave recommendations to all our TT Speakers.

There were 4 Project Speakers and they were:

1. CC #1 - Me by TM Wynlyn
2. CC #1 - About Me by TM Liyana Kamisan
3. CC #1 - Forever Love by TM Teng Yu He
4. CC #2 - Is Virginity Very Important Before Marriage - TM Gui Siew Peng
   

Congratulations to all the project speakers! Congratulations to the first timers who finally did their Ice Breakers. It was fun to listen and know more about all of you. For the information of those who were not present, we have 2 head prefects among the 4 project speakers and someone braved the odds to speak on a Toastmasters Taboo Topic. What a pity to those who couldnt make it. It was indeed a fun meeting.

Our General Evaluator was none other than CC Hoo Kuang Shan (have fun in Japan!) from DeloitteKassim Chan TMC. Project Evaluators were CC, CL Jess Foong of Unitar (thank you for coming all the way), TM Grace Kang (first time evaluator!) and CC Kimmy Foo.

Thank Role Players: Grammarian = TM Grace Kang, Ah Counter = TM Kung Shyh Yu, Time Keeper = CC Kimmy Foo

So, during the awards session,

The Best Table Topics Speaker goes to... *drumroll*
