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.
