Meeting Theme: Dreams & Desires
I have a hankering to tell a tale.
On the 14th day of September, year 2013, Taylor's University Toastmasters met again.
Acting President, Woon Yean Yi, CC welcomed club members, guest and friends to LT11.
Speaking on the subject of a minor, an underdog. This man and person was part of the resistant rather than the authority. When the odds are stacked up against you and hope seems bleak.
That is how Dreams and Desires came true.
"If you can dream it. You can do it" - Walt Disney
"Long story short, he was MY DAD!"
After the Presidential opening address, the Toastmaster of the Morning assumed the driving seat and had her share of tales. From Monash TMC, Hello Shalini, CL!
"From Ideogram to Manuals, Champagne and Mineral Water;
As an International Organization we have come far.
And, like they said, the rest, is history"
The TMOTM also sweeped through the room to get everyone to talk about a little dream which still lingers.
Crowd view from the Back.
Next, as per strict tradition was Table Topics. TT Master was Azwan, CC and he used the LT sound system with considerable purpose blasting out snippets of Song Topics!
"Just come up and speak about my random topics. No rules."
Takers/Topics:
1. Thian Seng - "Just Eat it" <Beat it Spoof>
2. Chen Keat "What is Love? Baby don't hurt me no more..."
3.Stephan Koo - "The boys are back in Town x3~"
4. Pravinan - "You are JUST A FRIEND"
Stephan Koo is back in Town!
" We would crawl into the drains and sewage as if it was an adventure. "
Now is time for the PREPARED SPEECH SESSION.
Up first was the guest from Monash TMC with their ever burning pride!
With his #CCM4 speech "Good Leader".
We present Mashuri or commonly known as
Mash!
"Be the kind of Leader, people follow voluntarily" - Mash
And the first of two Ice Breaker Speeches.
"Coming from an all boy family with my Mother an exception, I was so excited,
because I've never seen a girl before." - Pravinan Lai
The meeting took recces for *5 minutes*. Then came our Final Speech for the Day.
"Maybe I won't ever find my way; maybe I would just call this big maze my home."
- Ashikin
"How did we do?" is the constant question speakers posed themselves with.
So answers they will get, by the esteemed line of observant juries. Speech Evaluators!
