Taman Indrahana Toastmasters Club

12 May 2009 The meeting started at 7.30p.m. The TME for this evening was Teresa Chan, ACS, CL. Although she has been out of action for sometime, she was able to play this role well. The meeting started with Vice President Public Relations, Jade Lim, CC conducting the induction ceremony meant for three new members. However, only one new member, Khor Hong Yuan was inducted. The Table Table Topic Master, Chin Kit Ping, CC has conducted this session with some topics of contest standard. Out of the 5 speakers, three topics were attempted by the guest who was present for the night. Two of the guest who attempted the topics was here for the first time and they really enjoy this session. The first speech was an Ice Breaker Speech delivered by Khor Hong Yuan, TM with her speech title “A Snip in my life”. She shared with us on a part of her working life. Her first job evolved around the lab analyzing virus. In her speech she told us why she moved away from this job and entered the Sales front.

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. People who says they can, they can and people who says they can’t, they can’t. Whatever limitations we place upon ourselves are our responsibility. If you have not achieved the goals that you have set in Toastmasters, take a look at it now. Are you putting a limitation to yourself? If yes, change your thoughts. 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. She also thanked members who have contributed to the blog. Our TME for the night was a chartered member of the club, ACS Lim Thian Sen
