evaluation which proved helpful not only for evaluating speeches in our
meetings but also prepare us for the upcoming Evaluation contest. He also
reiterated that as evaluators, we must take down notes as “the strongest memory
is weaker than the palest ink”. Thank you, Siva, we shall always remember that!

Sam Koh presented CC#1 titled, “Believing in yourself” by describing how from a “slow

 |
| Kwa Ngan Eng, DTM |
General
Evaluator, Kwa Ngan Eng, DTM, revealed that the strength and stability of our
club was due to the strength of
President Jeannie ACS, CL who took up most of the club officers roles
and responsibilities unflinchingly, which otherwise also proved to be our
weakness as there was total reliance on an individual. She hoped that the next term
club officers will work as a team and put in their efforts collectively to
ensure a continuously strong club. Thank you, Ngan Eng!
In
closing, President Jeannie, ACS, CL informed that our Club Officers’ Installation
Night will be held on 1st August 2015 at 6.30pm at Bliss 33 Café, No. 31-33,
Jalan USJ 2/2C, 47600 Subang Jaya.
All are encouraged to attend this once a
year enjoyable, fulfilling and experiential club event.
See you
at our last meeting for the term 2014-2015 on 17 June 2015! Till then bye-bye!
