Highlights
The Halloween theme got everyone talking about what Halloween meant to them. Although not popular in these regions, every culture has their own version of “Halloween”, a time for commemorating those who had passed on. In Table Topics, this was a key theme in the topics chosen by Yuen Kai.
Since there were no assignment speeches, Andrew played Game master and introduced the game “Taboo”. Members were split into two teams. A volunteer from the team had to come to the front and was given a piece of paper with a word, which the volunteer had to described to the rest of the team. The team had to guess what the word was. Along with the word, there was a list of “Taboo” words on the piece of paper, which are closely related to the key word, and the volunteer could not mention these words.
The all ladies’ team comprising Lee Lee, Suhaida, Eng Bee (guest) and Caroline won. Better luck next time, guys! 
Join us in our next meeting on 22 November, 2011.
