14 April 2009 The President began her speech by sharing with us on the word “limitation”. The only thing that limits achievement is the thought that we can’t achieve.

If no, move on. 14 April was also a special day for our club as we officially launched our club blog with a cake cutting ceremony by the current and past President that was around on that night. The President also thanked the Webmaster, Chin Kit Ping, Assistant Webmaster, Jason Teh, Public Relations, Lim Thian Seng, photographer, Olga Eng for a job well done.
