" I am Still Learning " by our TME Emily Bong


No Gentleman Meeting?

“Where the boys are? Someone waits for me…… “  Connie Francis
Where were all the guys on 10th Nov 2014?  Oh ya they were busy looking for someone……..

For the first time in ages, Crystal Toastmasters Club had the meeting conducted in full women attendance. Even the only opposite sex, DTM Sivalingam, the supposedly General Evaluator had also to turn us down due to an urgent matter.

But nevertheless, the meeting went on with high Women’s Power instead… in line  with the meeting theme scrupulously set by the TME, Emily Bong, the STAR Toastmaster of the Year…..
”I am Still Learning.”

In life, learning is not only confined to the classroom
The biggest room in the world is th room for IMPROVEMENT
We must keep on learning and get to know the world better. We learn from the speeches and from the fellow members. In Crystals, we should never, never, never stop learning….

Even the Table Topic Speakers gave their ALL to further reinforce the theme of ‘learning’

Don’t just dream, do it
……Nicole

Opportunity only knock on the door once  
…..……Pei Ying              

Don’t only work for your house. Treat yourself well, love yourself…. Amethyst

Don’t’ ever give up……Irene
                     
Welcome to Our first timer, Siw Tyng Yan who gave her Ice Breaker.
And to share with you what her hobbies and dreams are…
                a)Dogs (Yours truly loves dogs too)
                b)Jogging (Yours truly is also a fanatic runner)
                c) And also Travelling, reading and drawing.

Wow! Yours truly is glad to know that we have some common interest, Tyng Yan.

And her dreams…..  to achieve leadership and presentation skills in Crystals. Yes, Tyng Yan, you have indeed come to the right niche to start your journey of learning programs….We wish you all the best and hope to hear from you again soon.

Moving on Nana had confidently reminded all the girls about the importance of keeping fit and eating good in her speech No #CC 7 with the title “CHOLESTEROL.”  Thanks Nana, but foods with high cholesterol are often more YUMMY, TASTIER, APPETISING and so sinfully irresistible …

Also a word of encouragement to our first time evaluator, Esther Then who has done proficiently well to evaluate Tyng Yan by using her ‘KISS’ of life.
Which means Keep It Simple and Sweet. Well done Esther!
  
 And the best speaker of the evening, KL CHEAH, who had almost made everyone fell off their seats in awe with her poetry presentation by Dr Maya Angelou, the infamous African-American author and poet.


Our champions for the evening:-
Best Speaker – KL CHEAH
Best table topic speaker – Lim Pei Ying
Best evaluator – Irene Lee

And lastly, Crystal beautiful girls, please attend the next meeting which is on 24th November 2014. It will be hosted by our maiden TME, Datin Matilda Ho.
Please come to support Datin Matilda. We need your attendance, your listening ears and commitments to take up roles.

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...
