Spot the mistake

Ah... after a loooong day.

It's time to pamper us with a face mask.

We started this self-funded Exco Retreat 2 years ago and I have always enjoyed every minute of it. This year is not an exception and there were more activities~! We had a personality test and set our values for the term (For the "B" people), had Fun (For the "E"), built cameraderie (For "Ss") in a very well orchestrated manner ("T" this is for you)! After that we proceeded to Far East Plaza for our dinner we held a mini birthday celebration for Guan Hau! Happy Birthday! Last of all a very intimate sharing session where we practise listening with our ears and heart. I certainly hope that we'll continue to have such retreat as many years as possible because it simply helps everyone on a personal as well as at a club level.

Special thanks going out to Fuilong for conducting the class, Esther for organizing it, Ronald for booking the room @ Royal Plaza on Scotts and everyone who has participated in this event.

Division S International Speech and Table Topics Contest @ AIA Changi 26 April 2008
The turnout was surprising low, and we realised that it was because 2 other divisions in Singapore was holding their contests as well. As usual, Cheng San contributed the most number of supports in a single club… WHOA!

The people who were there including the contestants were Shuling, Albert, Hwee Ling, Cliff, Lani, Shenoy, Hung Jui, Regina, Fuilong, Wee Jee, Chay Buay, Esther, Daniel, Ronald and Guan Hau. A total of 15!

Guan Hau was 1st runner up in the International Speech contest. Congratulations! This was no mean feat as he was in a field of giants which included a past district champion, Benjamin Cheng, the AIA dynamo, Mohd Hijazi, and the 1st District Governor and veteran DTM, Gae Ban Peng.
Ronald was unplaced but he thought he provided the best laughs of the day. Huh?! What “tudes”, the only one I know is You-tube. Anyway, the killer table topic was "Altitude, Aptitude, Attitude".

Nancy, I hope you are feeling better already.
Cheers,
Ronald
