My Toastmaster Club's Mentor-Mentee Get-Together lunch
I was told it was the first time that they had a mentor-mentee get-together. We had lunch, and went to Du Viet, a Vietnamese restaurant at Level 4 KLCC.I had no problem at all with what I'm about to say, but I found this slightly bizarre: Each of us had a cap of RM 30 for ordering lunch. Being in this company I am now, I have not experienced getting capped for lunch. We always order whatever we want as long as reasonable and not so expensive la right.. So I wondered how my Toastmaster club here getting the funds..does the management sponsor by subsidizing some funds? I didn't dare ask, yet.
Anyway, I had fun. I think we all had fun. My mentor was sitting far from me since there were close to 20 of us, but I found great company among all the other peeps. I saw them during the club meetings, but we are sitted so far apart. Plus, I'm not that initiative to strike a conversation. And most of time, we are there to listen to speeches. Therefore, the lunch was a great mingling activity..we all sat closely together as opposed to club meetings, so talking wasnt really optional. Hey, we are a Toastmaster member anyway!
I think I talked quite a lot too (and it fascinated me how I can warm up to people, contrary to what I think I am) and they keep convincing me that I should enter the Table Topics contest this Wednesday. I declined many times, because I don't think my first Table Topic in a contest environmnt is a good idea..
But coming back to office just now, I thought, maybe I could try.. Plus who knows I might win some shopping vouchers? Now I'm contemplating..hmm...
