Crystal TMC Meeting Keynotes 9th June 2014

“Together We Are One”

Our charming and vivacious Nicole Yap, who took the rostrum with full confidence as the Toastmaster of the Evening bringing in glamour and style with her ‘Cocktail’ as dress code for the evening. Her walk in Crystals just like ours, is no ordinary walk in the park.  Take a look at ourselves again. Aren’t we proud at what we have become? The true result and achievement of Toastmasters’ education…. And it is INSPIRATIONAL!
  
President Linda Phoon, shared in her opening speech that ‘behind the curtains,’ are many ladies supporters who will never say ‘NO’ to any request for help, be it a role play or contributions for lucky draw etc …This is a true CRYSTAL’S SPIRITS.  
 
Ladies, you are Simply the Best…..

TOGETHER WE SHINE, TOGETHER WE ARE ONE indeed..





Table Topic Master, and a natural comedian, Emily Bong, thrilled the audience with her extraordinary presentation of this impromptu speech session. It started with a short story line and five chosen speakers including Yours Truly were to continue the story with an opening, body and conclusions.
​Words … don’t come easy to me …….

1.    Witty Esther created the story of Mei Ling crying over her stolen baby..
2.      Yours Truly tried in vain, to buy time by going round in circles about Mei Ling’s cries..
3.     Hope, a citizen of Vietnam resuscitated the story by adding a new twist to it..
4.     Claire tried to end the story by discovering the baby and ….
5.      Finally the Queen of Table Topics, Laychi kept everyone’s mouths gapping by reopening the story to say that the found baby was not the real baby…
 
It was hilarious and fun, thank you Emily. That was a very original creation. Thank you also for dragging  in Yours Truly to make her maiden attempt in Table Topics.

 





The TME, Nicole Yap, taking a breather with Chironjit Das,  who played the role of the General Evaluator. Thank You Chironjit.

Crystal kicked-start the first meeting of the new term with many BIG BANGS ~! Loud and Exciting! Continue reading to find out why. The first BANG: Embrace your journey! President Joey chose this theme because she believes that everyone has their strength, ability, and skills. She hopes everyone could make use of toastmaster's platform to unleash, unlock and shine while embracing their journey with us. For the past 22 years, Crystal has empowered countless of successful women. Stars are born and many of the members had also transformed into bolder and better speakers. It wasn't magic, it's the power of confidence, the attitude of believing, and Joey said she was really proud of them! 23rd President: Joey Cheng The second BANG: It was a combination of Physical + Zoom meeting! We created history by having Zoom and Physical meeting concurrently. It was all the early planning stages by many parties that made it possible. Group photo with Zoom participants

“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 Matilda emerged in   “Green”  on table topic session. S
