ACM #40 - Summary

27th Oct 2009, ACM #40 was one of the smoothest ACMs I had organized. We started on time at 7:30pm and ended on time at 10:30pm. Thanks to everyone for making this happen !

Our Facilitator Dr. Devi Menon, DTM arrived as early as 7:00PM to ensure that she was prepared and properly briefed on the flow. She is a Senior Lecturer in Faculty of Languages and Linguistics where she taught for the past 18 years. She is the Lecturer Advisor of the University of Malaya Toastmaster's Club, a member of Taman Indrahana and the Charter President of Sai Masters TMC. She was the immediate past Area Governor for W3.


Our 1st Speaker was strong 'CEO of Freescale', Cheah Ai Ling, CC CL (CIMA) who attempted to lift the spirits of the employees while calming them down in a hostile situation of the project "Confrontation: The Adversary Relationship (Speeches By Management)". She was calm, cool and compose when the audience began firing away their questions in attempt to stir up the situation.


Ai Ling's Panel of Evaluators was composed of Gan Poh Lin, CC ALB, Marcus Loi, CC and Nancy Liew, ACB ALB, and the Lead Evaluator was Johnson Yike DTM. Drawing from personal experience, each evaluator gave their perspective on how the hostile situation and staff could have been manage, and the feedback was well received.



Our 2nd Speaker was DTM Soh Fong Wai who shared a non-technical presentation about "The Underwater World (Technical Presentations)". It was an interesting piece where he shared about underwater photography and the audience was able to seek clarification & ask question during the presentation. A lighter moment of the speech when Fong Wai commented on how much the camera's cost.

His Panel of Evaluators comprised of Richard Yeow, CC, Johnson Yike, DTM and Irene Lee CTM, ALB, and his Lead Evaluator was Dr. Lim Chooi Peng, DTM (Past District Governor of District 80). The Evaluators were wondering if Fong Wai was sharing about the features of a camera or to take up underwater photography. In any case, we definitely took back information about both.



Our 3rd Speaker was Ernest Wong, ACB ALB who gave a new perspective on a classically folk tale, "Cinderella (Story telling)", and the audience had a second childhood as we were asked to imagine ourselves when we were 9 years of age. Ernest played the role of a teacher who was telling us 9 year old children the story.

His Panel Evaluators consist of Gan Teong Hock, ACB ALB, Richard Yeow, CC and Calvin Lim ACS, and his Lead Evaluator was Lee Wei Seong, ACG CL. The challenge of the Storytelling manual as pointed out by the all the evaluators including the open evaluation was the important of one's voice and the use of vocal variety. Calvin gave a very impressive example ("Dong, Dong, Dong .... and the clock struck twelve ....").



Special thanks goes to our Timer, Ivy Cherng, ACS ALB, and Ah Counter, Joey Chun, CC. Our first time guest, Helen Quat, CC.

Our Facilitator, Dr. Devi Menon DTM gave an insightful take of the ACM and reminded us that though we are evaluating Advanced Speeches, we should not park our Toastmasters' Principles of Evaluation (using the sandwich matter). A point well taken and the ACMers will be more sensitive especially to first time presenters to the ACM.

(Chief Coordinator Soh Fong Wai, DTM presenting an Token of Appreciation to our Facilitator, Dr. Devi Menon, DTM)

In conclusion, I really had a wonderful time and everyone surely have learned a lot during this meeting. We learned to beef up our communication skill, evaluation skill, and develop a thick skin ;-)

The date of the next ACM (#41) has been finalized and the Project Speakers are Division Champions; Irene Lee CTM ALB (Division B: Area Governor of the Year (2008/09), Lee Xi Wen, ACB (Division W: Humourous Speech Contest Champion), and Johnson Yike, DTM (Division B: Humorous Speech Contest Champion).

ACM #39 - Summary

Greetings Fellow ACMers and Friends,

ACM #39 (29 September 2009) was truly incredible, not only we had a filled role player roster but we had 9 'unregistered' guest, which gives us a total attendance of 25 people. Our gracious host ACG Lee Wei Seong had the foresight of this turn out and had gotten us a bigger room; even that was filled to the brim. THANK YOU WEI SEONG !!!

Our Facilitator from KL Advanced Toastmasters Club, ACG Bill SIM was remarkable. Being a first timer to ACM, he conducted the meeting with poise and professionalism. He provided valuable feedback & demonstrated examples to our three Speakers. The meeting completed ahead of schedule!

We had two first time assignment Speakers (in ACM), namely GAN Poh Lin (Kuantan Toastmasters) and LEE Xi Wen (TTDI, MBTC) who so happen to present their speeches from the same advanced manual, namely the "Speaking To Inform" manual. It gave the audience a new perspective to evaluation when they were able to compare the speeches and evaluation between Project #1: Speech To Inform and Project #3: The Demonstration Speech. Our veteran GAN Teong Hock (DUTM, MBTC) also entertained us with his "Resources for Entertainment" by sharing with us how important results are that was illustrated with three wonderful stories.

The Panel of Evaluators & Lead Evaluators were diligent in executing their duties. All of them were concise, constructive and composed. Un-intentionally, I didn't realize that I've selected the D'Utama Presidents Team for the 3rd Speaker's Evaluators; Nancy LIEW (Past President), Marcus LOI (VPE - 'Incoming President?' … hehehe), TEOH Chun Ming (current President), and the Lead Evaluator, LEE Wei Seong (also Past President).

I wish to extend my thanks to the other Panel Evaluators; Janice LEE (TTDI), Richard YEOW (CIMA), CHEONG Kuok Sum (TTDI), and Lead Evaluators; SOH Fong Wai (DUTM, KBTM, MBTM) & Ernest WONG (HELP, Pidato KL). I wish to extend my thanks to LIM Hui Shan and Jess FOONG (both from Unitar Toastmasters Club) who extended their help at the 11th hour to be a Time Keeper and Panel Evaluator respectively.

I personally had a wonderful time and as mentioned during short final message for the day … "No Registration … No Seat for You!! (hehee ...)"

The date for ACM #40 has yet to be finalized. Keep checking the D'Utama (www.dutm.org) or Division B (www.divisionb.blogspot.com) for updates.

Cheers,
Johnson Yike

[Appreciation] Division B Humorous Speech & Evaluation Contest‏

Fellow Toastmasters and Leaders,

Thank you for your fullest and loving support of the Division B Humorous Speech & Evaluation Contest! Although it was during the Raya Season when many of us are having our holidays, the turnout for the event was still huge. Thank you for making the effort and time to support the contestants, I'm sure they appreciated your applause and whistles!

Many thanks to the role-players who performed their respective duties to the best of their abilities. We started on time, and we concluded the event by 4.30pm, 30-minutes AHEAD OF SCHEDULE! BRAVO!

Many thanks to our District-51 Governor, DTM Ritchie and his team for gracing our event. We truly appreciate your support, as well as your charisma during the contest.

Congratulations to our CHAMPIONS OF DIVISION B:

Humorous Speech Contest

Johnson Yike (Champion)

Dennis Wee (1st Runner-up)

Evaluation Contest

Sharmini Helen (Champion)

Lim Lay Kun (1st Runner-up)

Johnson Yike (2nd Runner-up)

The Champions will all be at the Genting Semi-annual Convention, where they will contest against other Divisions in District-51 for the District Humorous Speech & Evaluation Contest.

As many of you already know through my opening speech, the main event that inspired me to join Toastmasters was a Humorous Speech & Evaluation Contest in 2006. I hope that after witnessing the CHAMPIONS perform, you will not only be inspired to join Toastmasters (if you're not a member yet), but also be inspired to DISCOVER THE CHAMPION WITHIN YOU!

See you at the Genting Semi-annual Convention on 23rd October!

Loving regards,

Julian Gan, ACB/ALB

ACM #38 - Summary

Greetings Everyone,

ACM #38 has concluded last Friday (21 August 2009) and what a fantastic meeting it was. We had Nancy Liew, ACB ALB (D'Utama TMC & DU Adv TMC) who shared with us the abstract concept of how to 'Stress, Stretch, and Trash' - on how we manage our stress.

We then had our second speaker DTM Soh Fong Wai (D'Utama TMC, Klang Bilingual TMC & Metropolitan TMC) who played the role of a Training Director trying to proposed a solution that is Toastmasters to a board of Directors (the audience). The Q & A session was hilarious !!!!

CTM Kay Wong (Taman Indrahana TMC) was a fabulous facilitator who is not only a first timer to ACM but she managed it professionally as if she was a long time ACMer. During her summary section she surprised us by giving a 'self-evalulation' on HER OWN performance and showed us great skill in adaptability by quickly applying new ideas thought of between Speaker #1 and Speaker #2.

I wish to thank the following participants:

• Joey (Klang Bilingual TMC)
• Ivy Cheng (Klang Bilingual TMC & Metropolitan Bilingual TMC)
• Richard Yeow (CIMA TMC)
• Cheah Ai Ling (CIMA TMC)
• Geoff Andrew (Premier Advanced TMC & KL Advanced TMC)
• Gan Poh Lin (Kuantan TMC)
• Goh Sheen Yee (D'Utama TMC)
• Cheong Kuok Sum (TTDI TMC)

It's another great meeting to remember and I'm looking forward to the next meeting on 29th September 2009 (Tuesday) and our facilitator this time for sure is Bill Sim ACG (KL Adv TMC) !!!


Yours truly,
Johnson Yike

Thank you - Appreciation Hi-Tea

Dear friends

Just a note to thank all of you for your presence and assistance during our Hi-Tea yesterday afternoon. It would not be such a great success without all of you. The turn-out was unbelievable. Despite a Sunday whereby it is a family day, toastmasters keep pouring into our function. Even our busy bride-to-be was able to find time to drop by with her fiancee. thanks Lay Kun.

We were such a great team last year - I am going to miss you guys coming to my office for the council meetings, but I do hope we will continue to meet each other in our mastering journey.

Sincerely, I have learnt alot through all of you and have a lot to catch up to be at your level.

Congratulations to Irene for achieving the AG of the Year....To me, all AGs are winners!
.... Remember, winning an external award is not what you hold in your hands...it is the internal reward that you hold in your heart.
this was what I picked this up in one of the Toastmaster magazine and I truly believe in it. Once again, thank you very much, terima kasih.


Cheers!
