Dinner tickets are available at RM 50/pax. There’ll be good food, superb performances and fantastic programmes. So, what are you still waiting for? Contact us ASAP and have a jolly good time next Sunday night!

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!

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!

Please be informed that the next Gavel Club meeting will be held on the 15th June 2008, 2.30pm, SJBA meeting room.

Hope to see all members and guests there!

Gavel meeting started off with the usual routine. Our president wasn’t around so Gavelier Yee Xin had to take over her place and be the acting president. Samantha Leong was the Toastmasters of the Day, TOTD. A few guests turned up during the meeting : Guan Sheng, Vishag, Vishal, Rohen and Bryan. 

The Table Topics Session was conducted by Gavelier Tan Swea Ching. Everyone burst into laughter when Bryan said that he would like to marry Yee Xin when he spoke on the impromptu speech title, ‘What would you do if you have one million dollars?’. More laughters when Guan Sheng said that he would not marry Yee Xin, but Ee Ping if someday he were to have one million dollars.

We had 3 project speakers : Jia Shyang, Jia Teng and Jeffrey. Jia Teng emerged as the best speaker with his ice breaker speech. He received his ribbon and a standing ovation from all of us. Well done and keep up the good job!

The next meeting will be either during or after the May term break. All guests and members will be informed by SMS.

Anyway, Yeh Vin is currently studying form 6 in my school.. Seafield! Welcome and it’s nice to see you in school. By the way, he has just attended an interview to be a librarian. =)  good luck and all the best!

Our club’s 3rd Installation Night is going to be held somewhere in June. I will keep you guys updated from time to time.

Whee. People! we’re going to have our next meeting on the 23rd of March. 2.30-4.30 pm. SJBA meeting room. We will be having a few project speakers delivering their speeches, (and lotsa surprises!), so please come and have fun! =]

PeiQi.

Aloha! From now on, I will take over Jerr Ren’s job as the Vice President of Public Relation of the 1st Malaysian Gavel Club. Don’t worry Jer Renn, i will keep this blog alive with my utmost capability and ensure none of your hard work will be wasted.

Our previous meeting was held on the 24th of February. Starting off with our President, Gavelier Chuan Ai Vee’s welcoming address, then a pronunciation session was conducted by Distinguished Toastmaster, Azmi Shahrin.

The pronunciation session was followed by Table Topics Session, conducted by Table Topics Master, Gavelier Lee Wei Herng. It is a session whereby members and guests are given the opportunity to come forward and speak on a given title. Ai Vee then gave some good evaluations to help us correct our mistakes and change for the better. Of course, our strong points were mentioned too. Thanks, Ai Vee!

Ong Chin Leang, the Humour Master did a great job and made everyone burst into laughters with his jokes. Meeting was continued with project speech delivered by Ong Chin Yang. We got to know more about him after listening to his Ice Breaker.

The meeting ended with a prize giving ceremony. Azmi bought Mentos and it went to the best Table Topics Speaker, Gavelier Yap Pei Qi. (ME!) heh.

As this is my very first post, i hope all of you can leave comments and help me to improve on my blogging skills. =] Thx alot!

Vice President of Public Relations of the 1st Malaysian Gavel Club,
Gavelier Yap Pei Qi.

   There’s been a ‘Cabinet reshuffle’, or so Ai Vee, the 2nd President of our club, says.

   I will not be in the committee this year, so I thought I’d just type out a ‘farewell post’.

   After this post, I will no longer be the one ensuring the continuity of the blog. Instead, the responsibility will be passed on to someone else, the next Vice President Public Relations, who I hope will not let my hard work go to waste! (hint!)

   I was not informed of his/her identity. The President, Chuan Ai Vee, told me that she’d rather that it remain as a surprise. And considering that I have no idea who’s in the next committee, I’ll just leave it to my successor to make the announcement.

   It’s kinda sad, really, leaving the committee, or Cabinet, as Ai Vee calls it. I mean, 2 years in it can make anyone attached! But I just can’t commit myself. I’m too busy with my ko-ku that I barely have time to study! And it’s my SPM year!

   So to the next Cabinet, good luck in handling The 1st Malaysian Gavel Club!

   Signing out,

   Jerrenn L

   Au Revoir!

   So much has happened since I last blogged.    Chinese New Year came and went, and I’m sure we’re all now fattened by the large amount of food that we consumed during the auspicious period.   

   Recently, I saw an article in StarMag about a public speaking competition in Bahasa Malaysia. I’m too lazy to search for it, however, so you’ll just have to read to StarOnline and serach for it yourself. Sorry   

   I figured I should also write about latest happenings in our country. Parliament was dissolved yesterday, although the PM said it wouldn’t. The election is scheduled to be on March 8. So Azmi, and everyone eligible out there, vote for your candidate!   

   Our President, Yeoh Ee Ping, also won the Badminton MSSD- Girls’ Doubles. She will now represent Petaling in the MSSS. Good luck, Ee Ping!    

   I wanted to blog about this but just couldn’t find time yesterday. Did any of you realise that we’re not two years old? We were chartered on the 13th of February, 2006. So,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

   Not to mention, today’s Valentine’s Day. Enjoy this day with your loved ones, guys!    I’ll stop here. See you soon!
