Crystal TMC Meeting Keynotes 23rd June 2014

MY HEROES & HEROINES
Heroes & heroines are often referred to as a person whom in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and are normally regarded as a role model or idol for others.
So ladies, who are your heroes or heroines? TME TM Lee Kit Yuen has found her heroines in Crystal Toastmasters Club. What about you? I hope you found yours too.
Thank you TME Lee Kit Yuen for her maiden TME session. She brilliantly brought in this idea in conjunction to father’s day celebration which falls on the third Sunday of June annually.

Our invocation presenter, ACG CL Tan Saw Bee inspired us with her statement on Life is an Echo. Whatever you give, it will come back to you eventually. If you give kindness & goodness, you will get kindness & goodness in return. We must internalise this practice in serving others. If it wasn’t for the kindness act of our past president, Crystal Toastmasters Club will not be as famous compared to now especially for its team spirit & teamwork.
All table topic speakers performed in their best ability to present their statement according to the topics given. This is indeed the best heroic action that we should imitate.
* TM Serene Ting does not wish to have the power of flying without directions.
* Our invited guest Lily described her single mother as her heroine who is caring & selfless.
* DTM Irene Lee does not agree to the statement that a hero is born among a hundred. Instead, she believes that a hero is born every day. In fact, she is still searching for a hero now.
* TM Pei Ying opines that the type of heroes varies in accordance to their age. For example, parents are the heroes for their kids whereas teachers are the heroes for their students.
* ACG ALB Lim Thian Seng wished that he could choose Joker as his superhero so that jovial, laughter & fun will be around.
* ACS ALS Ng Sok Teng still remembers her favourite superhero movie; Superman.


Our first speaker CTM CL Sue Ellen taught us on how to turn your luggage into baggage when going for a holiday. She reminds herself to always travel light, which in turn lightens her heart while travelling. Thank you CTM CL Sue Ellen for her travelling tips.



After returning from travelling, we were confused by TM Matilda’s speech title, in pursuit of the BIG "H". With some hinting and guessing, only then we found out that the BIG "H" actually refers to "Happiness". Happiness is a state of mind, a life satisfaction and fulfillment. She shared with us 3 simple steps in her journey of pursuing Happiness;

1. One must be positive
2. Don't Complain
3. Don't worry, Be Happy
TM Matilda also shared with us a quote from Maya Angelou:
"If you don't like something, Change it. If you can't change it, Change your attitude."
If we want to change things, we must first change ourselves as happiness depends on us. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Bravo TM Matilda.
Thank you all the evaluators who vividly provide their insightful evaluation to all the speakers. TM Pei Ying appeared to be the record holder for the Best Table Topic Speaker. Congratulations TM Pei Ying.
Yeah...Im The Best Table Topic Speaker
TM Lim Pei Ying
Happy Happy Birthday CC Joey Cheng

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

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...
