That was theme for our meeting and we resonated with it by having a joint Chapter Meeting with Grassroots Toastmasters. Joo Ee kicked of the session by getting everyone to introduce their favorite fruits. It became crystal clear that durian is still the king!
Salma, CC/CL was our Language Evaluator that day and she introduced the word “value” which was widely used during various speeches that day.
Zachary gave his first prepared speech by sharing 3 crazy incidents in his life which led to where he was standing now, and concluded by reminding us that sometimes, a crazy decision will lead to positive outcomes. Jackie spoke about the innovation of Apple and how we can embrace Apple’s philosophy about thinking of a novel idea and sticking with it all the way to ultimate success. The phrase, thinking and persisting reverberated throughout his speech.
Then Tavin spoke about his mother’s advice to him – to be more outdoors and make more friends. Finally Greg told a personal story about his triumph over childhood obesity and how he left no stone unturned as he fought to become a fitness instructor. He recounted his hilarious experience as a goalkeeper and how he overcame all odds to 'make a pig fly!' : )
Table topics master Thomas prepared various envelopes, each corresponding to quotes related to the theme of unity. Speakers will then have to share stories which reminds them of the quote. We had some hilarious and engaging answers filled with colorful language. Chee Sian, in true Toastmasters tradition stepped up as a replacement and gave his maiden General Evaluation. It was short and sweet, but more importantly, concise and constructive! Well done Chee Sian.
It was a truly enjoyable evening. I want to thank all the people who made this happen. Especially our phenomenal president Sathiya CC and vastly valuable VPE Norman CC who was also a thoroughly terrific toastmaster of the day. I look forward to more joint meetings.
Special thanks to Grassroots for hosting us at their home ground!
