Just a few more days till the end of Chinese New Year. For the 14th meeting of the term, Taylor's University Toastmasters decided to join the Chinese New Year spirit by having a Gong Xi Fatt Chai theme meeting(which later the general evaluator advises us to either use all mandarin words or either all Cantonese words for our theme as Gong Xi and Chai is in mandarin while Fatt is in Cantonese. oops... )
And then as the meeting were about to start, we were suddenly overwhelmed by a crowd from Taylor's College Sri Hartamas.

You could almost say this meeting is like a joint meeting of Taylors', hailing from Taylor's Subang Jaya, Sri Hartamas and Lakeside.
