COT#1 @ Sunway University

COT#1 was just held about exactly a week ago on 11th July 2015. Crystal Toastmasters Club was not a minute late to the "party" with a close to full 6 exco members in attendance. 
The agenda for the day looked a little something like this:
 The first session was an insightful one by the TLI team on "Creating a Quality Club"
The 2nd session was a breakout session which meant that the exco members of each club were separated and put into a room with the members of other clubs of the same position (too long to understand?). It was a session where we got to explore each position and the roles that we each play towards the development of the club better. *I definitely got to learn more about the VPPR role that I didn't before*
The 3rd (and last) session for the day was chaired by DTM G.Sivalingam. The Division D governer himselfgave an inspiring sharing session on "Leading the Club to Success" and consequently shared with all of us present that day on ways to improve club growth and development, as seen in the picture below where he got us into groups and we were to discuss and present the strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats (otherwise known as SWOT analysis) which was a breath of fresh air from the mundane speeches. 
The day ended with Division B director, ACB ALB Teoh Chun Ming giving his closing address to inspire us for the last time. 
The COT#1 ended approximately before 6pm (about 30 minutes after the scheduled time) but all is well because of the early raya jam at 4pm so at 6pm there was not much traffic, hopefully *cross fingers* All in all, I was truly inspired by the COT and definitely learnt a lot from my short training in Sunway University and I'm determined to fulfill my task as best as possible.

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...
