Taking You to the Next Step Workshop

October 22nd, Saturday, it was a special day for Taylor's University Toastmasters Club as we've invited TWO awesome speakers from Quaritas Sdn Bhd to come and give a workshop to our club members and for Taylorians who are interested.

This is their web link http://quaritase.com/

The response of this event went pretty well, our club did not do much of promotions but the registration kept on coming in. And yes, we've received MORE than what we've estimated!!!

That's really good news!!

 We were really glad to have all these interested people at our workshop.

And of course, as predicted, the workshop went of pretty well and most of them gave good feedback for it.

 Our speakers for the day, Tariqua Amina and Jordan Grose.

Don't you like their smiles?

:)

 ICE BREAKING SESSION!!

Yes this is where everyone gets to know each other and all of them were randomly picked. 

So most of them are really unprepared.

But that doesn't make much of a difference as everyone managed to overcome them and came out with a good introduction of themselves.

 This is one of them who claims that she have phobia for public speaking.

Look where she is now. Standing in front of the crowd and presenting herself in front of everyone.

:D

When there's a will, there's a way.

 I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking....

Our activity based interactions.

So much different from what we learn in classrooms. 

 We were also divided into groups for discussions.

 Groups presentations.

And yes, giving out of certificates.

That's where everyone is most excited about.

Well the whole workshop ended slightly later than the estimated time.

THIS SHOWS HOW MUCH THEY LOVE THE WORKSHOP DON'T YOU THINK SO?

:)

Well, if you missed this workshop, make sure you keep yourself constantly updated by dropping us an email to inquire about our activities.

Come to us and have fun!!

Club's 1st Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contest

Here we go, having our first ever Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contest for our club.

It was really a fresh start for all of us as we don't have any experience in this type of competition before.

We certainly have grown from this competition as it really broadens our perception on how a contest is supposed to look like. 

Below will be some pictures of that day, August 20th 2011.

 This is Sanjay, one of our Time Keeper for that day, from MAS Toastmasters Club.

Yes indeed, the competition indeed creates laughter and smiles just like what you can see from him.

A BIG thank you to all role players who are present on that day.

Your presence really made a big difference and we sense the support given from all of you.

Thanks a lot!!!!

And we hope to see you all again for our next year's competition.

 Congratulations to the winners of the Evaluation contest, TM Kelly being the 1st runner up and TM Vincent being the Champion.

As for the humorous speech competition, congratulations to TM Zahir for being the 1st runner up and CC Maggie being the Champion.

And yes, the champions of our club went into the Area contest but unfortunately we did not have any results from that level. Nevermind, we are certain that we can get better results next year and we hope to push ourselves one step further and get a title for our self and for our club.

Till then, will see how we do next year then!!

Taylor's University Toastmasters' WILD SIDE

It was during our semester break, which is around the Merdeka and Hari Raya period few months back that all of us decided to come out for a social activity. 

Thanks to our dear Vice President of Membership, Kelly, who suggested a pool party at her place.

Quite a number of our members were there, namely, Isabell, Kelly, Stephanie, Maggie, Vincent, Tze Jiet, Zahir, and Jillian.

We also have Bryan from HELP's TM club, Shy (Jillian's friend) and Brendon (Kelly and Maggie's friend) together with us on that day. 

We had tonnes and tonnes of fun and this shows that apart from speaking, we can do crazy things beyond YOUR EXPECTATION. 

:)

Look at the pictures below to know what happened that day.

 This is Maggie, our Vice President of Public Relations, being pushed down into the water even before the whole party starts. It was really innocent as she was just trying to pick up a ball from the pool side. 

These people are just sick. 

 Special highlight from one of our club member Tze Jiet, who baked these chocolate chip cupcakes for us to add on to our menu for that day.

He's really good in this as they really tasted GOOD :D

He put LOTS of chocolate chips.

Well, this is all of us, having something to fill our stomachs first before doing some "exercise" in the pool.

We had Domino's, fizzy drinks, Kelly's home made sandwiches and so on.

 Some group photos of us enjoying ourselves

:D

 More photos.

 Look at those happy faces.

:)

 Our President and Past President,

Isabell and Stephanie.

:D

Zahir and Bryan

:D

Another eating session as we've finished soaking ourselves in he pool.

We just love to eat sometimes.

:)

After cleaning ourselves, we went up to Kelly's home and played TABOO.

It was really a fun game as all of us were so excited when it comes to each other's turn to bring a message to their own team.

 Sense the tensity? 

LOL, nahhhh it was more like it's a fun game to play.

 Vincent, Brendon, Tze Jiet

Kelly, the greedy one.

:)

 Another group photo.

We all just look good in the picture, don't you agree?

The best group photo ever.

We just love to have fun, like all other youngsters.

So, feel like joining us?

Well, WELCOME to the BIG FAMILY.

:D
