Water-logged Thailand



Last evening, I was at the joint MAS Mawar-MAS Cempaka Toastmasters meeting where I played the role of an evaluator for Tengku Shariman’s CC speech # 3. And with Stephen Fernando as the Toastmaster-of-the-Evening, the meeting was gleefully filled with merriment and revelry. This guy is, after all, the District 51 Humorous Speech champion – so we can expect almost non-stop laughter. Yes, he did make us roll in the aisles. Incidentally, I won the Best Table Topics speaker award and I did enjoy the meeting. I will give it a score of an 8 out of a 10.

I then rushed to KDU University College to attend the D’Utama Toastmasters meeting where I was a mere spectator. Nonetheless, I also did revel in this meeting because it was highly enlivening and hugely engaging. Yup, I will give this meeting an 8 out of a 10 too. I was noisy in a fun way and so I had a part in energizing this meeting!

Thailand's Bangkok Metropolitan Administration warned that all districts in Bangkok were still at risk of flooding and authorities are currently making all necessary efforts to stem the overflow to prevent more water from entering the city. In places where floods have encroached with a vengeance, Thais are experiencing water-logged days:
