A word of advice from Dennis…
For those who wish to improve on their “Impromptu speaking” best to take up Interpersonal Communications.
And for those who loves jokes and humor, as in ‘Humorously Speaking’, begin by opening a   ‘Story File’ and start accumulating  funny lines, stories and experiences that you come across in your everyday life to be compiled for use later.

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” .

Well done Carolyn Wong. ​ Datin M...

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...
