The meeting started off with the Toastmaster Of the Day, Chee Yoong explaining what the term “Manglish” meant. Typical examples are the usage of “lah”, “nah”, “kaw” and “cabut” in our daily conversation here in Malaysia. It is a combination of many Bahasa Malaysia and English words. Everyone was in a jovial mood when asked to use an example of Manglish, in the round of introduction.


For the assignment speeches, Past President Soo Loon and Leong Kwok Hung, visiting from Friendship Toastmasters Club, respectively presented their 9th speech projects from the CC manual. Loon’s speech was entitled ‘To Speak or Not to Speak’ and he spoke on “Glossophobia” or speech anxiety. Presentation skill is an important skill that any employee should have and he gave the following tips on how to deliver a speech or presentation - Topics, Intention, Message and Story.

Kwok Hung’s speech, entitled ‘Maestro’ was very unique. He showed us a video clip of Mozart, a famous music composer to stress his points.

Brenda’s speech was entitled “3G” from the Humorous Speech manual and without fail, she made us laugh throughout the speech.


During the evaluation session, GE Andrew Ng made sure each evaluator’s role was explained to the audience. The table topics evaluation was done by Kimmy Foo, our incoming Area W3 Governor. Her evaluation was awesome and powerful !

The "Looking Back, Looking Ahead" meeting theme was definitely fitting as it was the last meeting with Zaiton as our President, and the rest of the outgoing Exco team.

We had two special guests from Exact ADC Toastmasters Club, Boby Auliaputra playing the Timer role and Andrew Ng as the General Evaluator.

We had two humorous and vibrant project speakers who talked about "Meditating Dog" - I mean "Meditation" and "Dog". Andy talked about the Benefits of Meditation for his speech project #3 Get to the Point. He started by performing a meditation pose on a chair. Not only did he manage to balance himself well, he also grabbed our attention.

Ian Tai shared with us a few tricks on how to train the dog in his speech project #5: Your Body Speaks. Not only did his body speak to us, he also engaged Andy to be his disobedient dog which he trained to be obedient. We roared with laughter!

Table Topic master, Kasey Chan, had topics prepared based on idioms. Andrew spoke on "A burnt child dreads fire." He cited an incident when he was a child and how he was nearly electrocuted. He did well and deserved to be named Best Table Topic Speaker for the day.


For the assignment speech session, Chee Yoong completed his CC manual finale with “Be”, inspiring the audience to take a moment to relax and to take a walk with him. He brought us to the green mountains as he sang “Edelweiss” and to encourage us to “Climb every mountain” until you see the rainbow. The “rainbow” signifies the dreams that you have put aside. Now is the time to forgive yourself for not following the dream. Define what you want to achieve and you must have faith in what lies ahead. Last but not least, do not try to be everyone. He ended his speech by reminding the audience “Today you will find your dream, tomorrow you fulfill your destiny to be!”
