Another successful meeting, well-attended, precise, scheduled, quite-on-time, with samples of basic & advanced speeches, showing mastery of language by both - speakers and evaluators...
The gavel struck precisely at 7.34 pm (if I remember correctly), with Muhendaran leading the attendees to recite the Toastmasters' Promise - a tradition of BANGSAR Toastmasters! This is always a starting of the excitement. The tempo/rhythm was kept at the same level with Invocation by Shanmugam Ganesan, a challenge that keeps the TME on his toes!
With the presence of Mary Barton, playing double role (TTE/GE), who can say that the evening was anything but dull!
When Sham Sunder speaks, you better be attentive, else you miss what he says! As the TTM his theme was "Your Health - What are you doing about it!"
The speakers included a guest -
| TT Speakers |
| Lakhmichand |
| Fong Ah Chong |
| Wan Siew Onn |
| Jennifer Ho (Guest) |
| Muhendaran |
When Mary Barton is on the 'stage' you are all ears! As the TTE she was very thorough! Nothing escapes her sharp skills! It was a delight to hear her evaluate the speakers...
Best TT Speaker went to the guest...

Jessy’s ice-breaker was a good insight in this diminutive lady who spoke of her ideas, likes, dislikes and a passion for Indian Classical dancing – she even demonstrated her skills at gyrating her head, you had to see it to understand what I mean! She deserved the ice-breaker ribbon!
The second speech was the results presentation of his High Performance Leadership Project, leading to the DTM award, by Muhendaran. His project was the Installation Night of which he was the Organising Chair.
Both seasoned evaluators, Chandran & Ivan Fong, were quite generous in their appreciation, with valid suggestions to make their (speakers) future speeches more entertaining and of even higher delivery qualities.
The GE session was the desert, by the ‘master Chef’, Mary Barton, the GE of the evening. With her skilful art of evaluating, she led the session in a very professional, fun-filled, entertaining event, enjoyed by both the members and the guests.
I always enjoy my TM evenings, and this was definitely an evening where I gathered many important tips. It was also an evening to re-acquaint friendships.
Those who could not attend this evening’s session, all I can say is you really did miss an evening of fun, and some very valuable tips, not to mention the opportunity to meet your friends...
Looking forward to many more exciting evenings at BANGSAR TM Sessions...
