A little update

Hello! It's Alice here again. Since i'm the one holding all the photos from all occasions, i shall share the photos and do a little update at the same time.


For the past month, we have attended the installation dinner of Kota Kinabalu Advanced Toastmasters Club and in conjunction with that, the Division K Humorous & Evaluation speech contests. Both functions were great and it's always good to meet up with fellow toastmasters from other clubs.

From left: Enoch (KKTMC), Rozana Yunus (champion for Div K Evaluation Speech Contest)and Sophiana (champion for Div K Humorous Speech Contest), Amy, Alice and Jasmine (KKTMC)


We also took this opportunity to meet up with the members who have transferred to KK, they were Melissa, Lily and Alex. We have a great Italian dinner at Grazie upon the recommendation from Enoch and everyone laughed their hearts out that night.

Till the next update.

It was another GREAT night for gathering... and the theme was MoonCake gathering. Well, let the pictures do the talking for this time:-

Cool... right? For those who didn't manage to turnup, look at what you have missed!

OMG!? Look at those....

FOOOoooood!!!!! and only RM10! (for each member)

Food for the steamboat party.... beancurds, fishballs, 50 cents size Scallops and much more.

(Slurp..Slurp....sorry, I'm still salivating from the thought of those great food)

Yummy..Yummy.. huge 'springy' fish balls that are not easily found in the local markets. I wonder where our host Lili got them??? !

Oh~ now come the king of all kings! Giant oysters!!! Gosh~ you have no idea how high our cholesterol has shot up that night... have to eat more fish after this... to get those Omega 3 coming in.

Colorful Desserts!!!!

Our favourite!!!!.... Very delicious mango pudding! The texture and taste of the pudding were so much better than those served in the hotel restaurants.

The highlight of the day: -

Everyone enjoyed the night. Thank you all for your time and especially to our host Li Li for preparing all those GREAT food! Can we have more of that?.... hahaha...

Harvest-ed BBQ

Hi Everyone!


After a long hiatus and the beginning of a new term is around the corner, please allow me to announce that our very generous VPE Amy Hiew is organizing a BBQ at her residence to have some fun over the long weekend, detailed as:-

Date: 31 May 2009 (Sunday)

Time: About 7:00+ - (though the guys are urged to come early to help out =) )

You are also encouraged to contribute some desserts/drinks, anything that will cheer up the people. But most important of all, please bring along an empty stomach to help prevent any food from being wasted.


Yes, your gf/bf is allowed to tag along!

See you then!

p/s: There'll be some surprises that night

Fa la la la la....~

Yeah, it's the holiday season now and we had an outdoor meeting cum pot luck dinner at VPM Cheong S.Y.'s house last night and boy, it was an awesome night! As our President said and i quote " ....we have to organize meeting cum free food to motivate members, to stimulate attendance...." Guess what, even some of our long lost members were here last night, spot them in the photos. (Don't misunderstand my meaning, they are always welcome to any meeting, anywhere, anytime.)

The meeting started at 7:30pm and Amy was the Rudolph TME in red~ President Norman was kind enough to provide us with the little Santa hat to increase the Christmas mood! I have to say last night's meeting was the shortest meeting i have ever attended, in 1 hour's time, we had our table topics session, 2 speeches and evaluation done. Looks like toastmasters are really efficient in time management, especially when there's food waiting~

Last night's dinner was sumptuous with members' variety of food, to name a few, Lily brought her famous "fish mow curry", Datin Grace brought some healthy coleslaw as our appetizer, Luna (yes Luna is back!) brought some fried mee, Datin Nuri brought some delicious Rendang, Amy brought us dessert and fried meehoon and we also had some sausages, satay and fruits. Our host, VPM Cheong S.Y., besides supplying us with endless flow of red wine and soft drink, he also prepared some salted chicken where i havent get the chance to try a piece of it and it's already gone, can you imagine how nice the chicken was? Or how hungry they were?

I would say this gathering was a success yet heart warming, where we could really foster bond among members by digging in topics other than general matters, in such gathering, we talked about family, kids, hobbies and us ladies shared our secret recipes with each other. Also, in such gathering, we got to see something that could not be seen everyday, or rather we got to know the other side of oneself. For example, Dusun is always potrayed as "a masculine man" in terms of his hectic schedule, his high profile job and leadership, who will ever thought of a "feminine" side of him? Have a look.....awww....so sweet~

Heart warming? Yeah i know it's.

Well, before i sign off, would you like to guess who's so festive down to the legs?

Merry Christmas!!
