I as the SAA of the meeting started the meeting with the quote above and invite toastmasters and guests to introduce themselves and tell me about the gift they wish to receive for this Christmas and why.
Then, it was Table Topic Section, Ernest as the Table Topic Master has prepared 5 Christmas characters for the volunteers to choose. There are Santa Claus, Santarina, Reindeer, Elf and Angel.
The first volunteer was Ka Chuan. He chose Santa Claus. He is the Santa Claus and was stuck in the chimney. His task was to explain to the owner of the house who found him stuck in the chimney. Ka Chuan stated that he will wish them a Merry Christmas and grab something from the house to give the kids.
The second volunteer was Jee Aik. He wanted to be an angel. He was asked to sing a song that he would like to sing to the earth. Jee Aik was struggling and the audiences were all looking forward for Jee Aik to sing! But at last Jee Aik chose to return to the earth and be a toastmaster because he really couldn’t think of any song.
The third volunteer was Meyya. He chose to be a Santarina and asked to convince Santa Claus to keep fit by telling him how hot ‘she’ was. The speech he gave was humorous. He event told us his hips is only 27 inches and has a flat tummy. We’ll receive a warm welcome if we visit his club as he is hot. Santa Claus’s temperature will increase because he is HOT!
The last volunteer was Gajendran. Gajendran’s character was a reindeer. There are vacancy for reindeer and tell us how would he get the job. He said that he is able to go with Santa Claus on time. Instead of being the charming prince on a horse, he will be charming Santa on a reindeer.
Overall, the table topic section has warmed up the atmosphere of the meeting. Next was Qinmei as the Table Topic Evaluator to evaluate all the speakers. I’m sure everyone has done a good job. Stepping out to the stage and to attempting a topic you never prepared and to speak for 2 minutes is already a great start in Toastmasters Club.
Next, the toastmaster of the morning Jason Moi introduces the assignment speakers for their assignment speech. First was Jason Moi himself presenting his CCM #7, title “The Meaning of Christmas” and it was evaluated by Qinmei. Christmas is now more commercialize. Christmas is actually a peaceful and a gathering day.
Next, was Gajendran doing his CCM #6, title “Partying with Lawyers”. Gajendran told us about his experience partying with his law lecturers. It turned out to be a fun party that he didn’t thought of. Gajendran concluded the speech by saying that the Malaysia Law is secured because there are future comedian inside.
Then, it was John, our president giving his ACM #4, “The Importance of being Earnest”.
There is exception for this meeting because we have a 30minutes break for the guests and the toastmaster to have savour the sweetness of Christmas. We’ve prepared cakes, cookies and drinks for the guests and toastmasters.
Then, it was the general evaluator Chee Hong call for the evaluations for the assignment speakers. First assignment speaker Jason Moi was evaluated by Qinmei. Second assignment speaker Gajendran was evaluated by Jee Aik. Last but not least, third assignment speaker John was evaluated by Joyce.
The members have prepared some chocolates as gifts for the best table topic speaker, best assignment speaker and the best evaluator. The best table topic speaker and the best assignment speaker goes to -----
* drum roll *
GAJENDRAN! Congrats to him! While the best evaluator goes to Joyce!
Congratulation to both of them!
The meeting ended with the general evaluator Chee Hong for evaluating the progress of the meeting and closing address by the president John Lee.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Wish you have a blessed Christmas and hope the New Year bring you happiness, health and success
