Anchorvale Toastmasters 105th Chapter Meeting (10th June'17)


The 105th Chapter meeting fired off for an amazing ride in a cocktail-blue afternoon sky, filled with brilliant speakers, new and old and a legion of young bloods who I'm sure will transfuse their energy to Anchorvale club.

Toastmaster of the day, Weite head start the meeting by asking everyone to share their personal meaning with "Dancing with Life" and choreographed the crowd to a merry mood.
Her enticing, constellation-blue eyes gazed at everyone, her bouncy personality and a sugary voice, which everyone adore was not outmatched by the flu medicine she devoured early on. She really is one dedicated member! You Go Girl!

Thereafter, Club President Norman and his dashing rascal’s smile shared how he came up with "Dancing with Life" theme while dancing mindlessly in place he cannot even remember. He then prophesied to embrace optimism and positivity through the ups and down of life and learn to appreciate every single moment, good or bad. Norman's stunning opening speech just made everyone inspired and teary specially Zulhafni.

Zulhafni who has a volcanic voice, loaded with vigor shared his oratorical mastery to the club.
His natural affinity for linguistic communication made him the perfect Language Evaluator.
He came up with "Intoxicate" as the word of the day because he planned to use his galactic smile and devil-may-care style to intoxicate the fairer sex.

Part of the prize when attending Anchorvale Toastmaster’s Chapter Meeting is a privilege seat to witness all the prepared speeches from our talented fellow Toastmasters, to be inspired, entertained, and enthralled. 3 prepared speeches delivered from our first-class speakers, Bao Long's "Don't Think About It", Angela's "Be Brave and Say It" and Owen's "Pyramid for High Performance". Inspiration, Life Tips, Moral Lessons, Humor, we had it all! It was an oratorical delight that made the Saturday afternoon absolutely awesome!

After the inspiring first half, now its time for a short refreshing break. This was not just a simple break but a time to savor the best Mee Siam in the world lavishly shared by our dear club mentor Jenny Au, DTM.

After a short break, we were in for another treat and this treat was from our flamboyant celebrity speaker Benjamin Leow, ACB,ALB. He delivered a powerful speech on how to use Body Language. Warp, Amplified, and Interpersonal are the key points according to him to have a wolverine-like energy and debonair body moves. He really inspired everyone with his Mohican-cut hair and his twinkly eyes. His derring-do personality and bass voice were a big part of his crowd-pleasing character. Good Job B!

We resumed with our Project Evaluations, steered by Roger, Deepthi and Jenny, DTM. Each evaluator had his own distinctive style, Roger opting his speech with interspersed metaphors while Deepthi and Jenny used their passionate and enlightening counsels. It was truly a great experience watching all these great evaluators.

Next up was the brain-racking table topics segment. Table Topic master Rusman gave everyone a very inspiring quotes to talk about. We were enthralled by the myriad of speeches from Hemant, Debbie, Chee Sian, Alvin, Shi Yong, Steven, Guo Xuan, Patrick and Max.
We reluctantly came to the end of our meeting for the afternoon but will definitely be looking forward to the next session at Anchorvale Toastmasters. Special thanks to our timer, Helena. Congratulations to all prize-winners and thank you to all our visiting Toastmasters for lending us your ears! See you at the next meeting!
