Hawaiian Nite

As one of the themed educational meetings, STM had a Hawaiian themed nite where everyone ditched the formal suits and ties in favour of tropical colours. Hope everyone likes the postcard!

Educational Meeting 7 February 2012

A wet year indeed and despite the continuous pouring rain, we managed to visit many and had a quick visit at Sibu Area Governor's open house. Thanks to all who invited us and 谢谢 for your hospitality!

First Educational Meeting of 2012

Happy new year! Selamat tahun baru and xi nien hao!

Sibu Toastmasters conducted its maiden educational meeting for the year 2012 on Tuesday 3rd of January at Premier Hotel, Sibu. Despite the crazy weather, horrible New Year traffic jam and contagious fever going around Sibu, it's good to see most of the members came to the meeting.

Apart from good ol' Table Topic and Humor session, we were also entertained by our own Master Balancer Allen who shared his knowledge on how to read palm, face, eyebrows and even the lips. We seriously learnt a lot and had a good laugh throughout the evening. Our next meeting is on the 17th of January 2012.

Alright Toastmasters buckle up! We have less than 10 more meetings before the term ends and we are targeting to get another 10 points Distinguished Club President award as what our IPP Peter KB Lau had achieved previously in his term. We're shifting full gear to present all our manual speeches of our respective programs. Jiayou!

We heard complaints about the lack of ladies in the club. Well we have a lot of them but sadly it's the beginning of the year and they're handling kids at school and tuition.
