Dear Members and Guests

Thank you very much for joining Crystal Toastmasters Club special meeting in conjunction of celebrations Moon cake festival and the Excellent Emcee talk by our invited Distinguished speaker's ATMG, Jon Tan.

The room was decorated with lanterns, and varieties of moon cakes served during the break. All members and guests felt the mood of the theme: Mid-Autumn Festival-"Eat, Drink & Be Festive"

Christine Lum CC, did a great job as the Toastmaster of the Evening. She continued to uplift the festival mood which was set by President Lee Mei Foong ACS, opening speech.

Then, followed by our Table Topic Master Ng Siew Tho CC, giving topic all based on the theme.All speakers handle the topic well.

Table topic evaluator Tan Saw Bee ACG, gave very inspiring evaluations. She praised all Five impromptu speakers, that they performed well and knowing the importance of time.

Assignment speaker CC Emily attempted her second speech, also about this significant day . Her fairytale: in the 14 century, General Chu Yeng Chang developed this secret moon cake strategy hidden massage that cause China won the battle against their enemy.

Come to the second session, we have the honor of having with ATMG Jon Tan to conduct on his Mastery Workshop. Due to time constrains, Jon shared with us the three major key points of being a good Emcee.

For the benefit of members who were not present.
1) Ad-lib/impromptu, (think fast, act fast and in touch with knowledge)
2) Crisis management, (as a middle man and be emphatic)
3) Taboos ( draw a line, do not enjoy yourself in the event)

Our deepest appreciation to ATMG Jon Tan for his commitment and dedication to conduct this Workshop in Crystal. From Jon one hour talk, audiences already have some idea the role of the Emcee. Beside benefiting from the three important key points, Jon has also helped us to discover our personality.

Once again, Thank you Jon for refining our Emcee skills and helping us to develop our Brand.

Appreciation also goes to all our guests, both Toastmaster members and non Toastmaster, for continuously supporting us. We hope you have a very enjoyable, memorable and educational evening with us.

Last but not least, Thank you to all role players for making this another Amazing fun learning experience. A special Thank to our General Evaluator, Division Governor Irene Lee, for giving her valuable feedback for the whole event.

Crystal TMC Meeting Keynotes 26th May 2014

“LET IT GO…………………LET IT GO…………………” In life, sometimes we harbour bitter and unpleasant feelings about someone or a disagreement; we allow such guilt or grief to be embedded in our hearts. Life goes on, just face the world, let it go and  let bygones be bygones . So ladies, set yourselves free, be someone who you want to be. Dress and look the way you like. From now on, transform and move forward with confidence and  RISE  like the break of  DAWN. A big applause to our ever energetic and confident TME, CC Tammy Lim for bringing in the idea of  “Let It Go.” Our Humour master CTM ATMB Carolyn Wong let go her first blast by standing on stage with her yellow  “wigs”  and act like a  “crown” . The laughter erupted even before she utter the first sentence. Obviously, a good beginning makes a good ending. Most of us burst into laughing    tears  upon watching and hearing her jokes. Well done Carolyn Wong. ​ Datin M...

It’s ok.”    he said. “ For the past few decades, conventional medicine believed the appendix was an unimportant organ and served very little function. Emerging evidence is painting a strikingly different picture. It turns out that the appendix play a vital function in the development of the immune system,” said my friend who is a doctor. Similarly in our society, each and every member is an essential part to the health of the whole nat...
