This is the Toastmasters of the Evening (TME), Esther, which is me, lah. What you see on the board is the word of the day 'contravene' which is given by the language evaluator.
This was our external speaker from Toastmasters Club of Singapore, Jackie. He was doing his project 10. Congratulations on achieving your competent communicator award!
This is Fui Long, who scared the wits out of everyone by pretending to say that he did not prepare for his speech. Anyway, Fui Long did his project 10 as well.
During break time while everyone was outside enjoying some refreshments, Seh Leng from Brilliant Advanced and Ulu Pandan Toastmasters Club was preparing her evaluation segment. See how hardworking our regular visitor is! She posed for 2 pictures though.
This is another picture of Seh Leng.
To digress, some pictures of the people around the table were taken. From left, we have Fui Long, Joe Han, Zhi Rong and 'I can't remember his name'. Sorry! I have short term memory.
During the evaluation segment, we had Ronald up first.
I think everyone was too engrossed in listening that the photographer only caught one evaluator in action. The next person here is Kumar, the table topics master.
And to digress again, the photograpther took a picture of Lani and Daniel. Hmm... They were doing their appointments. Haha, don't slack on your appointment 'cause you may be caught in action! Haha~
This is our regular table topics speaker, Guan Hau. This was when he picked his topic.

Then assembling some thoughts...
Then speaking with ease and confidence!
This is Daniel, whose humourous part of him triggers off when he does a table topic. How often do you see him in that pose?

The photographer digresses again, to take a picture of Wee Jee and Fui Long, husband and wife. Wee Jee is not a member but she supports Fui Long a lot and attends our outings and dinners.
This is Saddiq, our external language evaluator from Temasek Polytechnic Toastmasters Club. He is our regular visitor too!

The next table topic was attempted by Shirley, who has been away in Jakarta to teach there. She's back for a short hiatus, and she came for our chapter meeting! Welcome back Shirley!
This is Joe Han, a guest who volunteered to take up a table topic. He's a natural, really! You should have seen him in action.

Again, a picture of our guests whom Kumar brought along~
And another of the people around the table.
Then Zhi Rong, a guest as well, decided to take up the challenge of the table topic. See him looking at the topic~

After some thoughts, he managed to speak for 2 minutes about his NS life on the ship.
So you see, joining Cheng San Toastmasters Club allows you to listen to others and their experiences! Zhi Rong's mini-speech was interesting, or rather at least to me.
Next Selvi came and spoke about her job as a supervisor in the hotel industry, you should listen to what she has to say and her dreams of becoming a hotelier. She might be a big boss one day, ok!
Then Wendy came up for a table topic as well~ Haha, what's fun about table topics is you always get unexpected topics at times. So it's up to you to think on your feet, speak off the cuff and twise the topic to make it your own.

Some practice keeps you in shape for impromptu speaking, especially when you get a tough question from your boss/girlfriend/wife etc etc...
Then Cher Kim from Toastmasters Club of Singapore also took up a table topic.
Then came the awards presentation... The best table topic speaker...
The best evaluator...
The best prepared speaker.
The closing address then ends the chapter meeting nicely.
You haven't missed out any fun. More fun coming your way!

And congratulations to Fui Long who got his CC award!

Look out for installation night on the 27 June 2007 where we have good food, fun and games. It's not our regular chapter meeting but you can always come down at 7pm to have fun with us. It's at Cheng San CC theatrette at the first level.
