Educational Meeting

Today’s meeting is another addition to our previous successful ones. The speeches were great, the table topics were awesome and our fellow Gaveliers had a lot of fun.

As for the manual speeches session, both our speakers, Amir and Caroline did an amazing job. With topics vastly different from one another, they both rocked the stage! Amir was the body language master as he talked about the 4 body languages in doing speeches—the eyes, the body, the feet and the voice. He got the audience to be involved in his speech and we were captivated by how great he has improved.

Caroline, on the other hand, picked a very rare topic. She started her speech with a question. “How many of you, approve of gay marriage?” That blew the audience’s minds—since it was totally unexpected. Her speech had opened our hearts and reminded us that, everyone deserves to love. If you happened to be gays or lesbians in the future, be brave and admit it. Tell your loved ones regarding what you feel about yourselves.

The table topic session was very refreshing today. Led by the Table Topic Master, Gairus, everyone was having so much fun!

Wei Lun was eating laksa and was suddenly confronted by a soaking wet Crystal… what happens next?

Gaveliers had to continue the story spontaneously and the chains of story were very interesting. Having 10 kids in 10 years, bearing a child that actually possesses super powers and reuniting after years of separating were fresh ideas given by the Gaveliers. Not only did we have a good time laughing but it stimulated our brain to work right on the spot. Finally, everyone had the opportunity to talk!

The evaluators should also be given credits for their superb works. The grammarian, Karen Kong did a wonderful job. The word of the day is ‘conceited’ and in every meeting of the Gavel Club, it is advised for students and guests to use the word of the day actively. The Ah Counter was Ryan, who had taken up a role play for the first time. Despite being a first-timer, Ryan did a great job and had delivered a nice report. Claire Kiew was today's timer and she carried a great responsibility throughout the meeting as well.

The Gaveliers receive mutual support and positive learning environment, which in turn faster self-confidence and personal growth. But on top of that, we make friends and assist each other throughout the meetings. There are some things that need to be fixed but we still have the opportunity to improve together in the future.

So, do join us for our next meeting which would be held on 22^nd June 2013 at SMK Kampung Nangka from 2:00 to 4:15 pm. Until our next meeting, bye-bye!
