Table Topics Session:
Not surprising, our Table Topics Master, Grace Chong chose topics that were related to Changes in Life. I guess the buzz word for the week is none other than Change. So, ladies and gentlemen, who were the brave souls that stood out for the challenge? First up, our dear President, Mr.Joshua George led the way. Next up was our TME! Well, I guess Muthu Kumar was full of enthusiasm to speak during the evening. He even mentioned he wanted to change his attitude of being shy! With that confidence portrayed, there's no way we're gonna believe u are still shy, my friend! Then, Lily, a guest from Xinjiang bravely tackled the topic given to her. Micheal who was a guest came up as the fourth impromptu speaker. The session was concluded with another excellent 2minute speech from Poh Li, a guest from UM TMC. So who was the best? Read on..it'll be spilled out in a moment.
Humour Session:
It's been a while, but our dear humour master is back!! Foo Li Hwa..again with her entertaining jokes. Never failed to make us laugh to our heart's content!
What about the Food?
A simple AND scrumptious meal. Chicken and vegetables topped up with delicious doughnuts and curry puffs...

Special Event:
The moment our dear guests stepped in the Activity Room, you could sense how surprised they were upon finding a video camera placed next to the door. Even members were surprised! (and that includes me..;) I guess that's one of the little surprises that you might get when you come and have a splendid time with us during our meetings.

We extend our most sincere gratitude and welcome all of you to come again for our coming meetings. Why? It's simple. We belief our meetings will leave you spellbound and your little little tummy satisfied as well! Killing two birds with one stone eh? To the students of Stamford College, keep the flow coming. Together we speak, together, we learn from one another. There will be a post coming on How Toastmasters Could Help You improve on your communication skills. So, look out for it!
Special Moments:
We have (the then TM) Marina Lu delivering her 10th speech, marking the end of her journey in the first chapter of Toastmasters. A brilliant story of a blind boy had the audience listening closely. Indeed, there was a hint of nervousness from our dear COMPETENT COMMUNICATOR but this is how we learn. No one is perfect. If you were with us that evening, and have the slightest doubt, let me tell you that your doubt was unfounded. CC Marina Lu is one of our best speakers, experienced and polished. We have learnt so much from this beautiful speaker and we believe there's so much more that we could learn from her. Also, we have an Icebreaker speech from TM Jackie Ang! The first step has been made. We look forward to more enlightening speeches from you and most importantly, to learn and grow with you, Jackie.
