It was the first meeting of the new term, 2007-2008, an evening of looking forward to another term of fun and learning, the most two important ingredients that BANGSAR Toastmasters are used to!


The NEW President, Ranjit Singh, was his usual self, casual and full of humour!
His invocation, "Perspective - Two Sides to a Story" was simple yet thought provoking...


With the new term he had new style! Members/Guests were requested to when introducing themselves say something 'good' about the next person. That was a challenge, specially for the few who sat eiher next to a guest or a new member. As his first 'duty' he distributed officers' manuals to the new club officers.


It was a privilege to 'play' my favourite role, TME, since it gave an opportunity to be active / alert the whole evening. TME's role while being a demanding role, gives one the freedom to make use of the skills acquired and remain in control!


The Table Topics session was short (only 3 speakers), to allow time for one of the assignments that needed extra time. Shan, the VP(E), as always, provided challenging topics to talk about.


Table Topics Speakers:
1. Lourdes Chandramohan
2. MALINI SIVAPATHA SUNDARAM
3. GANAPATHY (Guest)


Michelle, for a fairly new member, as the Table Topics Evaluator, was very observant, wity, and had some valuable tips to offer.


Just before the break, veteran, A C Fong, CTM, entertained all of us with couple of jokes during the humour sesion .
