Final Meeting August Semester 2009

Many, many, many thanks to all our guests for joining us in our humble meeting -
Johnson Yike

Poh Lin

Emil

Lay Kun

and Fauzi.

We had a wonderful time during the table topics session because of the topics given by our Table Topics Master - Lukreiza, CC. She added some flavour into the session by relating the theme "Malaysia's Colourful Festival" with the topics given. Some talked about the Hungry Ghost Festival, Hari Raya, while others give their opinion about being a Malaysian; blessed with the opportunity to celebrate many festivals =)

Then the prepared speech speakers took the stage and entertained us with their antics. Amir gave a speech entitled - "My Journey to Germany" and gave us a humorous twist at the end by saying that Air Asia still does not have a direct flight to Germany.

As for Nimmala, she gave a speech about her idol - Sir Richard Branson. She inspired us with the things he did to make a difference in his life. The lessons were - Never take "NO" for an answer, Use creativity to get something you want.

The best table topics speaker was - Nimmala, TM!!!

The meeting ended with the closing speech for our Miss President who again encouraged us to move on and work hard for the remaining weeks of this semester =)

We also got a little token from our generous Miss President! Hooray!

See you all again next year!

And see you all around other clubs!

:: President Address- Halloween Meeting 09' ::

I still remember before the Raya break kicks in. I suddenly got the inspiration of having a Meeting based on the Halloween theme.

Carrying a heavy mind, I spoke to a few of my friends about the idea and theme. Initially, three of them were excited about the meeting but as I told them that the meeting would tag along with Ghost Story Telling they gave me a worried face and said "eeeee...". Apparently, most of them have Nyctophobi-Fear of Dark and Phasmophobia – Fear of Ghost.
Without thinking twice, I thought this would be a good time for us to practice stepping out from our comfort zone in many ways.

Thus I proposed it during the last EXCOs meeting, without any hesitation my fellow EXCOs gladly agreed with the idea.

Then we started to think further, how can this event be unique? In the sense where we will be able to learn something yet have some fun and most importantly encourage people to step out from their own comfort zone and discover their own potentials.

In our society culture, we often believe in ignoring our deepest inner feelings of ours. We often fail in admitting our flaws, but others’ in real. Like, I am born to be bad with mathematics, the minute I see figures my head would spin. How many of you are like that?

All these little fears can be overcome in many ways. I know few of you who are here are suffering the Fear of Ghost just like I do. My close friends would never watch Horror with me as I would likely to have nightmares or wakeful night after hearing ghost stories.
There again, we must not let excuses to come into our ways. We are born to overcome all this fears. Not accumulating them. Fears of overcoming our weakness are just like our journey that is often stuck between a riverbank.

Today, is the time for you, you and you to start building the bridge between the riverbank by stepping out your very comfort zone. Simply by these three little steps. Firstly, don’t be shy and stopped clinging on your old buddies; meet some new friends. Secondly, always carry the right mind and often give the benefits of the doubts. Last but not least, always priorities your main fear and overcome it.

Remember, as you are overcoming your deepest fear you are building your bridge to your destiny. I must specially acknowledge this person as this person is one of our role model for many of us here today. For the first time, he took up a challenge to organized and lead few of the members to make this Halloween Meeting happened. I must said I am truly amaze and inspired with he’s creative ideas and new perspective. Can all you help me to give this person and his team a round of applause; I present you Toastmasters Jefferey Tang and team. Thank you.
