VPM Chee Hoe presented “Finding New Members” from the Successful Club Series, in a very comfortable and experienced manner.


It was a good meeting and I look forward to attending future Friendship meetings.

Hoey Teng introduced a new twist to the Table Topic session by getting volunteers to choose two options instead of one. The first one is the name of a person while the other is a resolution. Imagine Michelle Yeoh having the resolution of acting in romantic movies and Rosmah, the Prime Minister’s wife having a resolution of avoiding taking a bath whenever possible in order to save water !


Next, we had the long awaited speech from Caroline entitled “Resolutions”. She shared her personal experience about resolutions that she made since her younger days. A memorable quote that she shared was, “Procrastination is like a credit card. It’s a lot of fun until you get the bill.”

Finally, Yuen Kai presented “Live saving proposal”, an eye-opener and interesting speech on alternative treatments for cancer.

Our first meeting in the New Year was at a New Venue. It was indeed a very encouraging beginning for the club to have close to 40 of us attending the first meeting of 2011.

Honestly, I was a bit overwhelmed with the numbers and the size of the room but it was exciting to know that the club has grown. I’m also very happy to report that our young members have progressed satisfactorily and took up the challenge of organizing and hosting this meeting.

Thank you every one, for your great effort and I’m sure you will achieve your goals of becoming competent communicators and leaders by end of 2011.


One World on Thurs 13 Jan 2011

It was not everyday that you have someone who has achieved the DTM award twice to be your GE. DTM Geoff Andrew was very encouraging in his recommendations for Grammarian CK Ho to end on a positive note, by finishing with good examples of English. He also reminded all evaluators it was not necessary to speak on every point of the speech objective, in order to keep within the allocated time.


We also heard from three brave members on their Ice Breaker speeches. VPM Amenny’s memorable “Love money Chua” phrase will not be soon forgotten. VPE CK Chong explained that his name meant “great, smart and outstanding” and we laughed when he told us that he has the face of a 20 year old, the voice of a 30 year old and the body of a 40 year old. VPPR Ivan went beyond the requirements of the Ice Breaker speech and inspired all of us to strive to be the best Toastmasters club in KL !

President Piras’ opening speech was inspiring, reminding us that there is always room for improvement and that in our endeavours, we may be a guide or inspiration to others.

Table Topics Master Sotimin gave us challenging questions. Although stumped at first, President Piras and Past President Yoga raised to the occasion and spoke eloquently on their topics. It was not a surprise to us when President Piras was announced as the Best Table Topics Speaker.

Joriah presented her mouth-watering second CC speech about two chicken recipes. We wished that she had bought samples for us to savour!
