23/9/2010 UTTC Meeting, new perspective

Attending this meeting has been an eye opener. This is the 1st time I have been a TME(Toastmasters of the Evening) away (from home) & it's slightly scary.

Our Division Governor, N.K. Valli has also reminded the importance of being a TME, which is equivalent of an M.C.(Master of Ceremonies) in an event, as well as a Conductor of a Band(I've been a trumpeter, 2nd trumpet, not in terms of class, but in terms of lower tone than 1st trumpet).

Our President, CC Mike Cheang also reminded me my mistakes, as well as my faux pas(i.e.: breach of etiquette) I've committed, that makes people misunderstood me. He also reminded me to put more effort to improve my social skills by taking up work that requires me to meet customers, rather than just improving my theoretical knowledge.

It's sad that most members are unable to attend the joint meeting, despite the fact that it's compulsory, due to various numbers of reasons, as they are effectively deprived an opportunity for self-improvement.
