"If you don't program yourself, life will program you"

-Les Brown-

One word to sum up the Division K 12th Semi Annual Convention which was held over the weekend "Awesome!"

They say Toastmasters are one big family. And a bigger family indeed when it comes to occasion such as the semi annual convention. Different areas come together and just bond instantly as if there is an invisible ring that ties them together.

The 2 days program consists of a council meeting, an educational workshop, a theme fellowship dinner and of course the district 51 Evaluation and Humorous Speech Contest.

Part 1: Council Meeting

The council meeting aims to bring together leaders of respective areas and clubs to discuss current goals. How many have been achieved? What are the prospect? What are the obstacles? Words of advice and encouragement was given by DTM Andrew Thien, District 51 Governer to boost all areas and clubs to achieve their DCP Goals.

Part 2: Education Workshop

The Art Of Heart by Iskandar Ahmad

The education workshop is sort of like a self development workshop. Only this time, it focused on the area of listening skills which is one of the crucial essense when it comes to great interpersonal/communication skills. Conducted by Iskandar Ahmad, who is a distinguished man himself with admirable track records of achievements, the workshop was fun, educational and certainly benefited those who attended the workshop.

Part 3: Theme Fellowship Dinner

Latin Nite

Sumptuous line of buffet, good company, enjoyable performances, and dancing our hearts out..

We enjoyed tremendously! Should we elaborate more?

Part 4 and probably the last part: Evaluation and Humorous Speech Contest

It was an exciting contest, I must say. Seeing the best of the best compete. I reckoned all contestant gave their best shot. Well done! Of course, what is a contest without a winner? The winner for Evaluation contest was Matthew Martin and Humorous Speech Contest was Lim Mui Len. Nevertheless, for those who did not win, rest assured the club, the area, your friends, your family and even your gold fish is superbly proud of all of you!

Cheers aye!
