Friendship on Tues 4 Oct 2011
By VPPR Susan Lim

It was definitely a night for us to reminisce (word of the day) about after our “Embrace The Past” meeting.

In the run-up to the meeting, VPE Chee Hoe encouraged all members to dress up as historical figures or simply put on costumes from the 50s, 60s, 70s or 80s. It explained why some of our Friendship members looked rather different on this special night. Some even borrowed clothes from their parents.

Our newest member Hann Gan delivered his Ice Breaker speech. He shared with us how he moved from different parts of the world but came back home to Malaysia, where he finally found happiness. The wisdom of his “Coming Home” speech was strong and stimulating – “If you are not happy at home, you won’t be happy anywhere else”. He concluded, “I must be home because I’m happy”.

Suhaida’s ice breaker speech was awesome! She immediately got us hooked when she announced that she was a child prodigy. She had skipped 1 year in primary school, with excellent results in the "Penilaian Tahap Satu". She talked about the 3 important decisions that she made in her life. First, was choosing to study IT. Secondly, her decision to marry her husband and lastly, her decision to join Exact ADC. She has all the potential to be a great speaker and we wish her continuous success in her Toastmasters journey.

Friendship on Tues 18 Oct 2011
by President Angeline

Sylvia related to us how she found inspiration from Steve Jobs to overcome various obstacles and finally securing her dream job. Past President Lay Theng had much food for thought in evaluating Sylvia's speech. She threw in dashes of MSG, salt and pepper in her impressive evaluation speech. In her opinion, Sylvia’s presentation had adequate MSG - Message, Stance and Gestures. With her facial expression and eye contact, it provided just the right amount of salt and pepper to the presentation. We certainly enjoyed listening to this well-seasoned, aromatic and fragrant evaluation speech, delivered with style and substance.
