A continuation of a birthday-thank-you-dedication:
Thanks SIP for the Sunday day out for Karaoke + Oriental Spoon Dinner! Thanks Johnson & Maddy for the bracelet from Thailand! Thanks Olga for Karen Millen jewelry and beautiful card, simply gorgeous! Thanks Eric & Jillian+ family for having me over that night!
Thanks Gloria for the gorgeous earrings - apparently with the Power of Charm! Hopefully it'll work its wonders by 2/8/2011 LOL!
Thanks Azy and Yee Von, for the striking blouse!
Thanks Daphne, for Max Brenner today, and for accompanying me all the way to Clarendon St!
And guess what, came home tonight to a surprise birthday cake from Kor!! Thanks so muchhhhhh *touched* xoxoxo it was such a scrumptious bread-pudding-cake, something new from the usual (but awesome nonetheless) cheese and choc!
**
Anyway tonight was a very special night. Will, Juliany and I went for a Toastmasters evening at a restaurant bar.
It was really interesting how it was a structured night, with agendas such as business talk, table topics, prepared speeches, evaluation and not to forget, good food (chicken parma for me) and red wine! I was impressed with the confidence exuded from the speakers and how eloquently they gave an impromptu speech about a topic as random as Take Away Food.
What really strucked me was the formalities during the evening. For instance, before a member express his/her opinion, he/she would stand up and say to the Chairman, "Your Honour Mr. Chairman, may I suggest that we are tight on the time and move on from the motions tonight?". And how when each toastmasters passed on the MC role, they would first shake hands . And not to forget, an award ceremony at the end of every toastmaster sessions where the best Table Topic, Speech and Evaluater are presented with an award, according to the votes that night. Nonetheless, formalities aside, the mood of the evening was really light-hearted and filled with a good sense of Aussie humour.
Definitely picked up some good tips on public speaking and will want to join more toastmasters sessions!
An eventful day.
