Day Trip to Johor Bahru


Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club is a dynamic and fun-loving group. Not only do we build tempo on stage and expose the audience to a roller coaster of emotions with our oratory but we also know how to let off steam when required and have tons of fun. We decided to hold one such fun filled event on 1st August, 2015 when our members went on a day-trip to Johor Bahru to shop, eat, get massages, relax and do whatever else the heart desired!




The members who decided to go were veteran power couple of our club Michael Wee and Chong Cheng Lee as well as our non-veteran yet equally dynamic members Coen Tan, Tia Maria, Ng Kin Foong, Zhuo Shuzhen, June Tan and last but not the least, Club President Gladys Tye.

                                   

The members met in the morning and drove down to Johor Bahru with a mood to have a blast. Ladies and gentlemen, I assure you that they achieved that very purpose with tons of shopping followed by relaxing massages to take care of their tired hands carrying all the shopping bags. The massages caused them to lose some energy which they regained by having a tasty – and not so healthy – and sumptuous lunch.


The toastmasters also decided to chart out their favourite food of the day (and they had a lot of food). The ones that in their opinions turned out to be the best were:

  • Hokkien Mee (Miachel, Tia, Shuzhen)
  • Salted Egg Prawn (Gladys, Shuzhen, Cheng Lee)
  • Old Cucumber Soup (Kin Foong)
  • Curry Fish Head (Cheng Lee)
  • Sam Sui Chicken (Coen)


The lunch session was perhaps summed up by Michael Wee with his favourite line from the Chinese classic “The Water Margin”:

              

“Give me pork, and make sure there’s a lot of fat in it!”

             


Oh and did we forget the durians???

             



It was a great day to de-stress and relax. We certainly hope that the Executive Committee will organize many more outings in future.

You can partially live out their experience through the photos but in my opinion, to truly live out the experience, do join us next time we go out again.
