We have three pieces of happy news to share. Firstly, Susan informed us she has just received a promotion, after she joined Friendship. Congratulations to Susan !

Secondly, Susan’s guest, Daphne, announced that she has made the decision to join us, thus becoming the latest addition to Friendship Toastmasters Club.

Thirdly, VPM Chee Hoe unveiled the results of Friendship’s Membership Campaign which started on 19 Aug 2010 and ended on 28 Feb 2011. For her effort in bringing guests to our meetings and effortlessly converting her guests to members, Susan was the clear winner. Once again, congratulations to Susan !

KPMG KL on Wed 9 March 2011

Toastmaster of the Day Chee Sing has us laughing when he told us he can’t wait to ‘discover’ Joo Lee. We discovered more of Joo Lee when she presented her touching Ice Breaker speech about her difficult decision to move on after being in a relationship for 5 years. With her uplifting message of “keep growing, keep learning and be the best you can be”, she had our hearts and votes to emerge as the Best Project Speaker.

Not only did President Grace presented project speakers Joo Lee, Patrick and Krystle with TI ribbons for speeches 1, 2 and 8, she had two more to give away. Congratulations to VPE Joanita and VPM Michelle who have completed all their CL manual assignments !

One World on Thur 10 March 2011

We had interesting speeches from our Best Project Speakers. Mei Fen inspired us to say “Yes!” to a new world of possibilities, excitement and adventure. We may even gain new friends just by saying yes to an invitation to a gathering.

Joint Best Project Speakers Meifen and Amenny with President Jessica

From Amenny, her speech on “How to become a property investor with 0 downpayment” held us spellbound for 7 minutes as she told us how she managed to own 5 properties at the age of 30. Last year, she bought 5 units at Berjaya Times Square and subsequently sold it at a profit of 40% ! This successful property investor gave us valuable tips and promised to share more in her future speeches. Interested in joining us at future One World meetings and learning from this enterprising extraordinaire ?

“Changes” (Theme of the day) were definitely in store, as Brenda took the stand as Toastmaster of the Day. She had lined up a slightly reshuffled agenda, making things a little unexpected for those who were all too familiar with the standard format of our meetings.

Instead of starting off with the Table Topics session, we had assignment speakers presenting their prepared speeches first. Our Area W3 International Speech Contest winner, Loon, on a roll from the recent contest speeches, did his CC speech no. 6 with the title “My Malaysian Christmas”. He spoke of how Santa Claus came about and his version of what a Malaysian Santa Claus would look like.

Our second speaker was TME Brenda, who presented her assignment speech from the Humorously Speaking manual. In her “Anti-gravity” speech, she did not fail to make the audience laugh, with her signature humour-filled delivery on the modern day women’s obsession with youthful beauty and the race to defy age.

The impromptu speech session was up next. Table Topics Master Caroline had prepared some rather tricky topics based on the meeting’s theme. The winning speech was about “If you could change the plot of a movie, which movie would it be and why?” It was clear that Brenda would have liked to be Leonardo’s love interest on Titanic, when she spoke on her topic.

This meeting was indeed a pleasant change from the norm and the general feedback was to see more positive changes in our coming meetings !
