Braddell Heights Toastmaster Club 1

It was a night of fun that evening. We had a mix of great mix of visiting toastmasters, friendly guests and of course, our very own members. SAA, Chiew Ping, kicked off the meeting with a interesting ice-breaker. She asked about what we did with our Chinese New Year (CNY) celebration for this year. There were a lot of eating, gambling, visiting and more gambling. Of course, all gambling in the spirit of CNY.  :) This evening was also Chiew Ping's first opening address as acting Club President because our President, Alvin was not around. She shared about the Chinese culture lion dance and how having a good team work is essential even for a performance like lion dance.

Vanessa took on the role as Table Topics Master and she had prepared an interesting theme of transport related articles. Some of the volunte...

--> 5 Feb 2013 It’s been a good three weeks since the last time we had our chapter meeting. Our SAA, Chiew Ping , started tonight’s meeting with the ice-breaker theme about our preparations for Chinese New Year. After which, we continued with the heavy-loaded program for the night. There were 4 prepared speeches; a Lou Hei segment to celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year; and also the Language Evaluation by our very own Area Governor, Carolyn . So let’s take it from the top as we go through tonight’s chapter meeting.   Tonight was a night with a few firsts. Sanjay , a new member, was the Toastmaster of the Day for the very first time. He delivered his lines with clarity and it was definitely a fantastic opportunity for him to address an audience. And then, there was Chun Kwang , who presented Project 1 and embarked on his Toastmasters journey. He gave his speech without any notes and referred to his cue cards only from time to time. Re...

This evening's chapter session is the first chapter meeting of 2013 and we had an overwhelming response from guests and fellow toastmasters from other clubs. We'd the honour of having Siao Yan (our dear friend of Braddell Heights 1) from Toa Payoh South Toastmaster Club as well as Pei Shan from Cheng San CC. We also had 4 guests joining us. A wonderful mix of guests and member interaction. And of course, how could we forget another of our dear friend, Fernando Young from AIA Changi. :) Chiew Ping kicked off the meeting as the SAA, followed by our new President, Alvin, first opening speech. :) A pity the photographer that day didn't take photos. Alvin shared about goal setting and the importance of how it can give us more clarity in our lives. The session then moved on to prepared speeches, where Heidi and Vanessa presented their Project 4 speeches while Chiew Ping presented her final inspirational Project 10. Everyone had a good time learning from the speakers. After ...
