Meeting @ 27/9

What a night! 33 people turned up for a regular meeting! This number includes guest from Sunway University! The night started out by the presidential address, Lim Thian Seng took the floor and asked the guest to introduced themselves. Next! the usual energetic, hyper, fullofsarcasm  yet humourous, Victor Ong took over the control as the Toastmaster of the Evening! He created an blissful atmosphere in the room to start off the meeting. 
Table Topics, done by Undarma( 1st timer ) gave opportunities to 5 speakers to try on deep topics that require the participants to think hard, thoroughly, and critical. Topics such as eg: 1) What is the significance of life? 2) Who inspire you most and why? 3) If you are the ruler of the world for 1 day, what are the 3 things will you do? 
Participants like Fanny, Angie and Tong Fong, took up the challenge and gave it a go towards the given topic! All the participants did extraordinary well. 

After that came the assignment speeches. First one up is Angeline Loo on her project #2. She gave a thorough informative, educational and yet interesting presentation on the way to prevent breast cancer. Next up is Teoh Lee Lian doing her project # 3. She did the presentation regarding the advantages of donating blood, also rich in knowledge and plenty of good information for the audience to bring it back home today! Michael Kum was next to talk to us about what is a job scope of a project manager. He came in with full of details and points to give us all a good overall view on his job. Speaker number 4, Chan Weng May came in to give us a good laugh with her speech #2 from the Advanced manual - Humorously Speaking Manual. She talked about how body language and a smile can change a person's attitude towards you. Last but not least, Kay Wong did her final project on the Successful Club Series. She taught us to break from our own comfort zone and gave us a good headstart on where can TM bring us in the future. She wants us to go beyond in Taman Indrahana and be more initiative in joining other clubs and pick up some roles to play. 

Overall, an amazing night it is! Full of laughter, joy, happiness and good fellowship! That's the way a TM meeting should be! When a person just got off work, and wants to release all the stress load for the day. A toastmasters meeting is where someone should be! Especially Taman Indrahana, where it is filled with people from various types of jobs and background! A place to socialise and make new friends.

Message from the Division Governor

Good day to all of you.   T here was once myself and NJ Singam (past  convention   organizing  Chair) went to one of the local bank to close the  convention  bank account. When we went to the counter, we informed the officer about the matter and she handed us 2 forms for us to initial it. Then she obtained our Identification Card for verification. Just within 4 minutes, the officer handed us the remaining balance and told us that, the account was closed. It was a total contrast, if we compared with opening a bank account, where we had to fill few forms, go through few  verification  and approvals prior to opening an account. The entire process took almost 2.5hours compared to closure of account which lasted only for 5 minutes.     We often forget or never ponder on the  initiator  of the club and their sacrifice &  hard work  to charter the club and we just need a single sheet of paper to close a ...

Ask, Believe and Receive

"I am so happy and grateful that I have a beautiful family and beautiful career" - Jade In the Toastmasters meeting last night, Jean asked us to write down what makes us feel happy and grateful about. A young and cheerful lady, at the age of 23 has unlocked the secret of happiness when she listened to the CD of The Secret, by Rhonda Bryne. She concluded her speech that the secret of happiness is  ASK, BELIEVE, RECEIVE . Her speech reminded me that how blessed I am with what I have now and that is true happiness. When we are grateful, we are at the state of happiness. I am counting and appreciate the blessing that I have. The recent flight tragedies that happened strike me with a realization that we do not know when we may face calamity. Therefore, count our blessing at every single moment of our life. “Happiness is right here, right now, in this moment."  ―  Buddha Teaching Article by Jade Lim, CC, CL ~Jade is a mother with three beau...
