16 November 2008 : It was an evening filled with
enthusiasm, entertainment, and enticement (the
home-cooked dinner was a big draw). Once again, our invited guest
has raised
the bar for conducting the table topics session in a refreshing
and
challenging way. This has made our table topics session the most

we proceeded to satisfy our
intellectual craving.
We welcomed a new member Doana Tan who confidently
delivered her maiden speech and
gained much praise from her evaluator and all present.
The table topics session was conducted in a refreshing way by our
guest Coen Tan. He had all table topic speakers acting as auntie/uncle/sister/ms
agony, dishing out advice to the chosen problems. For this meeting,
we had a general evaluator Esther Lim ACB who gave very constructive

10 August 2008 : The August chapter meeting was
a fun-filled session full of humour and
intellectual stimulation. The richness of language used by our speakers
intrigued everyone present. Our language evaluator, DTM Rebecca
Lee stumped
most of the toastmasters by introducing a lesser known word, urbane.
Nevertheless, a number of toastmasters urbanely sprinkled their
speeches
with the word of the day.
There was also a surprise item planned. The surprise
was so carefully
guarded that no one knew what it was till the TME announced the
item as it
was not highlighted in the program - Our member, Farida Mustanir
gave a
surprise farewell speech as she's relocating to Dubai in the middle
of
August.
Our Ah Counter, CC Mohd Saddiqi, gave the Ah Counter
report in a very
refreshing and interesting manner.

conference room with fond
memories of the evening.

Khan. The
best evaluator for the evening went to our friend of Ulu Pandan,

Lee DTM. Not to be outshone, Yen Yuan took on the role of timer
like a seasoned

13 Jan 2008 : 8th January 2008, the date that ULU
Pandan Toastmasters Club had
its inaugural chapter meeting for the year 2008. It was off to a
great
start! Not only did we have a long and exciting list of speakers
but we
also had an equally long and distinguished list of visiting toastmasters.
Besides the very formal introduction round required of every meeting,
this
time the Toastmaster of the Evening(TME) threw open a beginning
of a story
to the meeting. Each person had to contribute a line or two to continue
the
story. The story took many turns and twist and it was hilarious
to see how
it ended. Feedback on such wake-me up activities were good! So future
TMEs,
please remember to include similar acitivities. Our speakers presented
a
range of varied topics which most certainly made for an interesting
evening.
Not to be outdone, the evaluators too made eloquent speeches to
praise
their speakers and recommend areas of improvement. Our table topics
segment
also saw our solo guest of the evening taking her first steps to
public
speaking. The evening ended on a high note as the best speaker,
best
evaluator and best table topics speaker were announced. It was a
fitting
start to the new year!
-
4 Dec 2007 : The word of the day, "galvanize"
recommended by the English evaluator, Joni
Siah, indeed set the tone for the evening. Our new member, Wong
Loke Yeow,
did his best for his Ice Breaker Project and was in turn praised
by his
evaluator, Mr Lee for his unique way of introducing himself to the
attendees.
Farida Mustanir did her Project Ten and thus earned
her the Competent
Communicator award with her captivating speech on "Margin".
The Ulu Pandan Toastmasters' Club would like to
thank the following
evaluators for their time and contribution to the chapter meeting:
Kelvin
Thiang, ATMB, CL, Esther Heng,CL, Stuart Ralls, and our Club Mentor,

namely Lim Swee Jian, Eddie Ang, Li Ying, and Shabana Tyebally.
More toasts
followed when two of them devoted their prepared speeches on the
theme of the toast. It was
also a night of unexpected reunions -- Tan Teck Lee and Li Ying
"reunited"
with our Chapter Meeting after a period of absence and Low Lay Hong
met her
secondary school classmate, April Tan, (who was our evaluator),
after a period of 20
years.

the word of the evening handed out by Nathaniel Koh DTM whose chosen
word provided
the "yen and the zen" for more sharing, knowledge and

went on smoothly on 7th August 2007. The meeting was opened by our
recently inaugurated president Ms Lim Swe Jian, who opened the meeting
with a wonderful speech recalling her childhood days and the lessons
that were learnt along the way. Although a first time, our Toastmasters
of the Evening carried herself well and smoothly co-ordinated the
meeting. We had a good round of presentations from our junior toastmasters
who were doing their project 3 and project 5 speeches while one
toastmaster was on her way to completing her project 9 speech. Our
guests for the nights, Tan Meow Hui from Tampines West, John Choi
from Radin Mas, Wong Kok Wah from Brilliant Advanced added to the
stimulating and cheery evening. They came to lend their experience
and weight to either provide the word for the day, evaluate or dare
us with mind challenging table topics or simply support the Ulu
Pandan Toastmasters. All in all, it was a good evening with everyone
accomplishing their roles to the nines. Looking forward to our Humorous
Contest on 4 September. Hope to see you there!

it was good to be back to witness a roomful of dynamic people delivering

in an invitingly manner, Rebecca Lee delivering the best evaluation

15 Nov 2006 : The Ulu Pandan November Toastmasters
meeting was not an ordinary monthly
chapter meeting. It also signalled the start of our Speechcraft
course over a period of 5 sessions. Besides our regular agenda,
whereby our Ulu Pandan Toastmasters delivered their project speeches,
the Speechcrafters were given a preview of the setting in which
a toastmasters chapter meeting is held, the management and the
organization of such a meeting whereby toastmasters are expected
to take on various appointments. A total of 13 people enrolled
for the Speechcraft course. During the fast and furious table
topics round, Speechcrafters were invited to participate to get
a first-hand feel of standing in front of a group of people and
sharing their opinions on a chosen topic. The meeting ended on
a high note as usual with feelings of accomplishment and camaraderie
all round. We look forward to seeing our Speechcrafters in the
subsequent sessions.
-
5 Oct 2006 : Every chapter meeting is a mystery
to all because we do not know what
awaits us. We had a fun English lesson by Pauline Lim CTM, the
bubbly VPE of Choa Chu
Kang TMC.
The guests were jovial and encouraging; our members
had a wonderful
time interacting and sharing public speaking tips over break.
It is with
much regret that many of our members were unable to turn up for
the meeting.
Learning is a life long process and public speaking
is no different.
The 3 hour session enables us to unwind after all the hard work
in preparing for the meeting, to
measure our progress in public speaking and to evaluate our personal
growth and improvement for the month.
We are pleased to announce that UPTMC is organizing
a 5 session
Speechcraft Workshop in the month of November 2006. The workshop
will be conducted by
our Club Mentor, DTM Richard Sng, who was the champion of both
the Area S2 Humorous
Speech Contest as well as the Area S2 Evaluation Contest.
-
12 Sep 2006 : It was with eagerness that all
club members especially the first timers anticipated the arrival
of the Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contests on 5 Sep. Farida
Mustansir, stood out because of her ability to be realistic and
relate to the audience.The other participants,however,were no
less impressive. Eddie Ang's naration of humorous jokes had everyone
laughing heartily. Seh Leng was able to express herself clearly,
her words accompanied with appropriate facial expressions and
Margaret's witty speech held the full attention of the audience.
First timer Low Lay Hong did an excellent job as the contest chair.

out. Fortunately, the meeting proceeded without a hitch. We are very
