MOONing over Mid-Autumn Festival




Themed meetings are always fun and interesting.

Our Toastmaster of the Evening (TME), CTM Doreen, made it an excellent time for all of us. She linked 'moon' to refer to the actual moon and not only for lanterns and mooncakes.


TME - CTM Doreen!!

SHOOTING OFF TO THE MOON!
WHOOOOOOOSH....



Lanterns were ALL OVER the room, making it colourful and bright.

Table Topics Master


Happy birthday to you... May this year be the BEST of the BEST!

MIM TM Club Humorous Speech & Evaluation Contest



Humour is to make people laugh. Humour is to cause people to feel good and happy.

A contest is not only to see who is the funniest of them all, but to also compare and challenge oneself with others.

Hence, your result is to see who can make the audience laugh the MOST.

Welcome to MIM Toastmasters Club of Johor Bahru's Humour Speech and Evaluation Contest.

Our Organising Chairman - the one and only CC Ee Jun Wai.



Following the humourous speeches, we had the evealuation contest, where we had our test speaker Yvonne from Sacred Heart Toastmasters Club to help us with the evaluation contest.

Neck Problems Solved!

A doctor advises his patients to exercise their neck by just reading this message.

In the end, all patients go home happily without asking the doctor for any medications. 'It is very effective,' said the doctor. 'All my patients never come back to me again.'

Whom or What

The story goes like this. . . . . . .

A man was polishing his new car..., his 6 yr. old son picked up a stone and scratched on the side of the car. In anger, the furious man took his child's hand and hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures.

When the child saw his father, with painful eyes he asked:

'Dad when will my fingers grow back?'

The man was so hurt and speechless. He went back to the car and kicked it many times. Devastated by his own actions, sitting in front of the car he looked at the scratches; his son had written:

'LOVE YOU DAD'.

Next day, that man committed suicide.

Remember, Anger and Love have no limits . . .

Always remember... "Things are to be used and people are to be loved"



But the problem in today's world is....

"People are being USED & Things are being LOVED"



Let's make a difference today.

Our Meeting No 379

"Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow."
Doug Firebaugh


------------



Our 379th MIM Toastmasters Club Meeting today was, as always, a great success.

With two guests and a visiting toastmaster in our midst, we were able to share 2 hours of quality time although we did not have the quantity.

Toastmaster of the Evening, was our CC Kenny Koh who made did a good job of making everyone feel welcomed.

Two of our toastmasters wore two hats this evening:

ACC Jason Kum as General Evaluator and 'Ah' Counter.

IPP Simon Tan was SAA and Humour Master.

The MIM Toastmasters Club provides a positive environment for individuals to pick up multiple skills. Some of them include:

1. Taking up last minute appointments for meetings;
2. Wearing two hats;
3. Organising meetings;
4. Organising events;
5. Leading a group of people;
6. Opening a cake box prettily;
7. Eating and talking at the same time;
8. Encouranging and motivating one another.

With such skills, everyone will be able to hold their head up high and say proudly, "I am a Toastmaster"!

Some pictures of the evening...

The one and only speaker of the evening was, yours truly, with the speech title of "Un-Earthly Actions". The speech was for Project 7, Research Your Topic, and was about being green and environmentally friendly.


Our August birthday boy, President Glenn Koh. How old is he? (Ask him!)

My evaluator for the evening, ATM Mohd Awee. Thank you for your contributions!
And he also won the Best Table Topics Speaker for the evening too.
Well worth the trip, right?


Therefore, a big round of applause to all who came today!
And to our two guests, Becky and Ryan, we hope you enjoyed yourselves, because we enjoyed having you there today!

See you on the 18th August!
