ToastMaster Meeting - 16/10/2008

I was late again... Reached around 7.40pm...
At least there was improvement... haha...

Today was an equally fun meeting. This time, i was an audience... The last time I was an audience was my first meeting in Tampinese Changkat... haha...

As usual, there were many beautiful words and phases used:
- Change can be hurt, Grow can be Painful.
- Growth is the only evidence of life. (Now I understand, why my father was unhappy when he didnt see his plants grow)
- Freely U give, Freely U receive.
- ghoeti = fish
- recapitulate: normally we used as re-cap.
- operative speaker


Then after the meeting, went for a drink with ToastMaster friends.
The usual coffee shop & drink stall uncle... He let us know some of the nicknames given for the drink:
- Milo = "tuck jiu" (kick ball)
- Chrysanthemum Tea = Ah Huen (阿花)
- Chinese Twas = "Teo Ghue" (Fishing)

The above I can understand where their nick comes from... But there is one that I dont know the origin:
- Ice Milo = "Hao Dai" (yaya papaya, proud)
Whats the relationship? Only proud people ordered Ice Milo?
