It was a special meeting on that night, for not only were we celebrating Halloween that night, we were also having a joint meeting with Farlim Toastmasters.
Despite the fact that guests were charged with RM5 entry fee, we still had ten guests at our meeting! The guests were from as near as Penang island to as far as Ipoh -- Cheah of Ipoh Toastmasters!

The whole meeting was decorated with Halloween decoratives -- pictures of ghosts and bats pasted on the walls, a Jack-O'-Lantern carved by Chia Harng, and the most striking decorative was the skeleton brought by Khai Yuen & Khai Shing! It was dressed in black and was hung at the whiteboard! There was also background music and sound effect played throughout the meeting by Khew; the music and effect was played in accordance to each session as well as for each speaker on stage!


Our lovely President, Chew Khai Yuen

Some guests and fellow members attended the meeting in bizzare costumes! If there were a costume competition, of no doubt it should go to Joanne, the devil of the night, who even brought her fork with a 'tail' trotting along behind her!

The Most Passionate Member of Our Club, Kwek
The whole meeting went on as usual except for the table topic session -- it was actually the twisted version of Trick-or-Treat practice in Halloween; the idea was suggested by Kwek the TOE and was modified by Zi Qian, the table topic master of the night. Everyone was clearly amused of the unusual session.



Christopher & Dato' Khoo were enjoying the Witch's Brew

During break time, we went to see what was served on the table -- there seemed to be quite a few trays on the table. All were stunned by the food and beverage laid on the table for there were Eerie Eyeballs, Freaky Witches' Fingers, Smiley Sandwiches and Witch's Brew! Such extraordinary food and beverage triggered photography session by fellow members and guests! This was again the fantastic idea by our ever-creative IPP, Khew! We were really proud in listening streaming praises to the remarkable idea!

When the meeting was called to an end, we were sorry that the event was over.
All in all, we enjoyed the meeting immensely!
