scard...

1. I'm scared of the truth, so I dare not open my eyes;
I'm scard of the imagination, so I dare not close my eyes.

2. Just when I was about to email club members to encourage them prepare enough/well for speeches, I set such a "good" example for not preparing.

3. Great laughters for reversed meeting, but if people actually prefer the normal chapter meeting, am I denying their right to choose the norm they want to have?

4. It's difficult to lie and make eye contact at the same time, even though I haven't had a boyfriend, and I do love shoes.

5. Tired, and I JUST want to escape... And it's going to be soon!

Alone?

Yesterday afternoon, sitting in the Division D Club Officers Training, I was thinking that, we are so independent from the Toastmasters International. We hold weekly meetings, which means tremendous workload on me, but it seems that we have to do all by ourselves. I arrange all the programs; I visit other clubs in order to meet people and invite them to my club; what is the help that we receive from TI?

Yes, we have the umbrella on top of us, but what does that umbrella really do for us?
As a school CCA, we have SICS, SMUSA on top, and even they are doing a better job helping us.

As that thought was continuing, I heard a name "SMU Toastmasters Club", we won the President's distinguished club award in 08-09, which is the highest award in Toastmasters. I'm happy for it.

Continuing, I heard another phrase, "We have someone from SMU Toastmasters", Wow! What's that? "NANA!" And i didn't even know what that award was about. And of the 3 Division D club officers who won the pin from TI, I am one.

And the question still remains, are we alone?

Embarrassing moments

I feel so embarrassed now!!! Let me make a list of my embarrassing moments in Toastmasters:

1. My first table topic speech - standing there, thinking, talking, but don't know what I was talking about. In the end, I got to know that I was sharing a secret that I wouldn't tell people.

2. My 3rd project speech - forgot my script in the middle, and stopped for around 1 minute.

3. My first program sheet - forgot to change the details of the meeting, such as the DATE & TIME. So everybody arrived on that day noticed that the meeting should have been held 5 days before.

4. My subsequent program sheets - never notice that the address on the template is actually wrong, so kept making the same mistake until wk 9, GE pointed out that the address is actually WRONG!!!

5. Invitation of Gurion - Just sent the email to Gurion, a young, experienced Language evaluator, inviting him to be LE, but emails says "evaluating P4".

6. .........

I can't recall every embarrassing moments I have until now, but I remember that for my last semester, every meeting, I make mistakes with emails until wk 8!!!

Oh, my goodness! This is just so embarrassing!
