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 theme “Moving Forward” is to motivate the members to progress or advance further in our journey of toast mastering.

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...
