Happy Father’s Day 2008

Meeting was indeed more interesting than usual as we had more guests to join us this afternoon… Wei Ken, Hooi Jett, Bryan, Guan Sheng, Mei Qi, Coralyn, Meng Shin. Hope all of you did enjoy the meeting and will join us as members of this evergrowing Gavel Club! We also had another Toastmaster, Dennis Wee to join us for meeting today.

Speaking of new members, we, the 1st Malaysian Gavel Club is going to have our 3rd Installation Night on the 27th July 2008. Our tentative venue is Summit USJ. And the COOL part is… the theme this year would be – 007 James Bond! So, if you’re interested to be a Gavelier, act fast! Contact us and join us before the installation night so that we can install you as a member of the club as soon as possible.

Meeting started at 2.30pm today. Ai Vee welcomed all the guests and members and called the meeting to order. A brief introduction of the club was given by our club’s counselor, Distinguished Toastmaster, Azmi Shahrin. Then, Gavelier Lee Wei Herng conducted the table topics session where all guests and members were given a chance to speak without any preparations. Guan Sheng and Hui Yee were the best table topics speakers with their speech titles – ‘Something Special about Myself’ and ‘The Birthday Present from Someone Special’ respectively.

*teng teng teng teng* it’s Humour time! =) Toastmaster Dennis Wee and Jia Shyang shared a few jokes and IQ questions with us. All of us were really cracking our heads to get the answers for the tricky IQ questions. All thanks to Jia Shyang. haha.

Then Gavelier Jeffrey delivered his 4th project speech – Obese! Congratulations, Jeff! It was really a good speech. Well done.

Since it’s Father’s Day, we had a little surprise for our Gavel Papa, Azmi! Ai Vee made a ‘Super Azmi’ underwear for him and we wrote down our messages. Happy Father’s Day to all wonderful daddies!

super azmi.

And lastly, thank you Sam! Although our Sergeant-at-Arms wasn’t around during the meeting, she made an effort to bring some refreshments for us. The kuih was nice =)

That’s all for today. We shall meet again on the 29 July 2008. Same time, same place. See you there!
