Recap of 403rd Chapter Meeting @ Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club

Our 403rd Chapter meeting falls on the 5th May 11, which was just 2 days before a significant day in our country's history. The day we citizens exercise our rights to choose our government, the polling day.
We have a relatively smaller turnout yesterday as a result of our busy members' commitment to the General Elections which is around the corner. Nonetheless, I am proud that our chapter meeting was still a success with the efforts by our members and visiting guests!

Yesterday, we had 3 visiting toastmasters from different clubs. Linda Lee from AIA changi, Thiru from SIA and Jami from Tiarel Toastmasters club respectively were here to add flavor to our chapter meeting. It is always nice to have visitors so that we can learn from each other.

Sergeant-at-arms, ZhiQiang kickstart the meeting with a question, " what will you do if you have a bad date?" Well our conclusion, a date is better than none, try to get to make a friend instead.

Coen, our president delivered his AP5 cum opening address with an inspirational touch. He shared with us the formula to success through the combined efforts of thought, meaning and action.

Thiru completed his project 10 and attained his Competent Communicator title. Congrats!

Today, we started the evening with 2 inspirational speeches from Coen and Thiru.
Time to lighten up our mood.

Linda entertained us with her account of how she lost her wallet and her lesson learnt. She advised us with the 3 tips we need to take note of when taking cabs in the future.

Matthew, our club's humorous speaker once again tickle our funny bone with his story on his idol, Bruce Lee. 'Wa-ter!' Cheers to our Shifu who brought us so much laughter.

Tonight, we have 2 best speakers, Thiru and Matthew because of a tie in results.

For the evaluation segment, we have a 1st-timer making his debut evaluation. He is none other than yours truly, me. A challenge for myself yet again, but it is certainly worth the effort as i see someone benefiting from it.
Well, toastmasters is about choosing to make growth choices every meeting and we all want to embody this spirit of toastmasters.
The best evaluator goes to Thiru with his value-filled evaluation.

Table topic best speaker goes to Zamir and Emmanuel!

Jami gave a general evaluation for our chapter meeting based on his vast experience from visiting clubs. Thank you Jami for your valuable and objective evaluation and suggestions!
