Rebecca with her speech "Up or down". The perpetual question that plagues Men and Women - Should the toilet seat be left up or down?
Rebecca introduced us to 3 efficiency toilet seat schemes and even presented a statistic model based on 1 man + 1 woman + 1 toilet + 1 million visits to the toilet. She concluded her speech by urging us to "Think with our heart" the next time we use the toilet.
Lim Hui Sing (ABC Toastmasters Club) with her speech "Factors affecting job satisfaction". Did you know that the 3 highest factors are (1) Work standards, (2) Fair rewards and (3) Work Related stress? Hui Sing shared with us the findings of a survey from a local Kuching Hardware Company. The name of the Company was of course with-held : )

This is great! We all look so happy. Then again, the training meetings are when we usually let go of our work stress anyway :-)
It's like enjoying the whole meeting all over again. Wunderbar! Hey, Derbe, any chance of getting Darren registered so he can be part of the meeting too?
Thanks Fariah and Siew Yan! Siew Yan, I'll e-mail Darren the links :) Maybe 1 of these days we could have a virtual training meeting with him thru video conference!
Going online for updates is a wonderful idea.. Very efficient! Well done, Derbe! Rebecca
