REGULAR MEETING – 22ND OCTOBER 2012 - BLOOM






On 22nd October 2012, our Toastmaster of the Evening, Nana Halim, TM, brought us together with the Theme – Bloom. It was indeed a blossom evening with the ladies and even our General Evaluator, Benny Chia, ACB, CL came in floral design fabric attire. In every Toastmasters meeting it is a journey of fun learning and for the evening, I practically found myself to be a better poser for photography session through “ How To Be Photogenic “. Thank you KL Cheah for the tips !!

As the bonding, friendship and sisterhood help us bloom and groom our personal learning in Crystal, we blossom and flourish together in the process.

 Last but not least, would like to share out a quote said by our Toastmaster of the Evening, which I find it very meaningful  .............

 " And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

If you want to be truly successful invest in yourself to get the knowledge you need to find your unique factor. When you find it and focus on it and persevere your success will blossom. "

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...

The Power of You - 13 April, 2020

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...
