Turning Lead Into Gold


Moving forward to our 2nd meeting with the theme “Turning Lead Into Gold”, our ever pink Jennifer Pan, CC as the TME, conducted another exuberating and memorable evening of a Speech Marathon with 6 enthusiastic Speakers incorporating the word of the evening “Transcend” in their Assignment Speeches.

“Turning Lead Into Gold” is a representation of an alchemy which is a sacred science that involves a magical process of transmutation of lead, which is the most impure metal into gold, which is of the most refined quality.

It is a symbol of human potential.

This metaphor for human transformation was made famous by an international best seller book entitled “the Alchemist” by renowned Author, Paulo Coelho.

Personally, Jennifer relates the journey of toastmasters as a process that parallels the alchemical transformation of lead into gold.

The mission of Crystal TM Club is to provide a platform for women to rewrite their destiny.

Since the Club’s inception in 1998, history has revealed that our Crystals seized every opportunity to transform their lives in every possible way and now after 14 years, some of these ladies can proudly share their success stories, on how the journey of toastmasters, has helped them transcend, and to be where they are at, right now.

Not only have their personal lives transcended but through their continued commitment to excellence, Crystal TM Club has also achieved and maintained the highest award of a President’s Distinguished Club for the last 14 years.

This success speaks volume of the positive attributes and the right attitude of our Crystals especially the 14 past presidents who were the driving force, steering the Club and its dedicated members in the right direction, transcending from ordinary to extraordinary just like the alchemy of turning lead into gold.

We are indeed so blessed to have the core members of at least 10 past presidents who are still so active and who are always ever ready and eager to give all their encouragement and support to us in every single way.

It was an evening of acknowledgement with much gratitude and also to salute all these extraordinary ladies for being here for us.


We believe that with the continuing encouragement and support of the past presidents, our Crystals will undoubtedly push the envelope effortlessly and to experience transcending the moment as we drive Crystal TM Club towards greater heights.

Crystal TMC Meeting Keynotes 26th May 2014

Image
“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...

The Power of You - 13 April, 2020

Image
THE POWER OF YOU by: Dr. Elaine Loo Every member in our society is valuable and necessary for our society’s progress, just like every part of the body plays an important function. We tend to think certain parts of the body being not as important – but actually we need every part equally. It’s only when each part of the body is respected and treated with care that the whole body remains healthy and can grow well. I had a friend who had the appendix removed due to an infection. “It does not have an important function. 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...
