The meeting was held on 9th Jan and what interesting was, everyone was given a yellow card to write their new year resolutions. The card will then, be kept by everyone and as promised, a 'review' will be done at the end of the year, this December 2008.
The assignment speech session was well-done and everyone learned something from every speakers!
We learned that Eugene, our 2weeks-old member who presented his Icebreaker speech, is a person who love basketball and his new year resolution is to reduce another 10kg!!
(Now, can anyone tell him that I'm far visibly fatter than him~!! aaaaaaaaaaaaa~~)
Hooi Koon presented a research speech on "Fruits". And all of us learned that eating fruits after meal is not advisable as the nutrient will disappear faster than having food half hour before meal. Besides, drinking fruit juice is best replace mineral water as it provides vitamins to the body....oooooo......
Voilet presented her advanced speech on "A Role Model For Toastmaster". And the whole speech was impressive that our President Sam was so flattered having mentioned that an 'award' is given to recognize his commitment towards Toastmasters. (ehem ehem..)
And yours truly, presented a speech that even the men are pretty much interested, breast cancer movement, with the title "Wear It Pink". I even managed to get Lynx to assist me in breast cancer checking procedures. All members are given a pink ribbon, and i'm so glad, everyone learned about the important issue and are more serious into that threat now......
Besides the great assignment speeches, the table topic presented by Toastmaster Ying Ying was so much fun! Topics vary from new year resolutions to current issue involving the latest 'big shot affair' on the news. Members and guests were all participating with so much enthusiasm and indeed, the topics are something that everyone enjoyed the most!
