Celebrating OUR CLUB 20th Anniversary

Celebrating OUR CLUB 20th Anniversary

We are a group of people committed to self-development and personal growth. And we understand that the best way to grow is to grow together as a community!

We are an inter-generational family with members spanning a wide spectrum of ages, experiences and cultures. Whether you are a student, teacher, professional, retiree, employee, employer, you are most welcomed to join us at our chapter meetings :)

 At our club meetings, we'd always look forward to evenings of intellectual stimulation from our members and invited speakers. Here we learn a lot from one another. Not just on the techniques to speak, which is why we're all here in Toastmasters, but more so learning about life and one another's unique experiences so that we'd all become wiser as we all progress in our own lives.

Finally, embarking on the Toastmasters journey is a personal one. It is how much you learn, how much you put to use, how much you practise and how much you contribute back that matters. Because there is no such thing as people laughing at you if you make any mistakes. But rather, we'd all laugh together with you. In doing so together, we'd all make our journey in public speaking a more comfortable, fruitful and satisfying one.

Speechcraft 2015

Public Speaking is an art. Like all other art forms, it needs to be developed. We all look at rock musicians belting out fret-board burning guitar solos and we say that they were born with it but seldom do we notice the hours, months and years they spend practicing guitar sitting alone in their rooms. In a similar manner, we look at good speakers delivering awe-inspiring, mesmerizing and enthralling speeches but we hardly appreciate the hours that they put in practicing in front of mirrors, friends, family and interested parties to reach their level of comfort on stage.

Dear readers, let me tell you the story of one such public-speaker, Mr. Ng Kin Foong. He was an ordinary man like most of us who spent a lot of time at home playing video games, listening to his dad and talking to his dog. However, being the innovative person that he is, he also wanted to do things the other way round, that is, advise his father and listen to his dog. What I mean by this is that he wanted to break the monotony and do something of his own. One day he attended a training that helped him get rid of his baggage and instead of crawling on the road of life, he was finally able to fly.

Ng Kin Foong has been flying since that day. He has attended several trainings by gurus all over the world, spend tens of thousands of dollars and had several hundred hours in training ordinary people to become extra-ordinary.Today he runs a few companies. One of those, Radiant Owl Consultancy and Services, was founded by him to help individuals like you and me build confidence, discover our inner talents and shine in life. 

Today you have an opportunity. You can learn from Mr. Ng Kin Foong about the arts, means, methods and tricks of public speaking. The Lead Trainer of Radiant Owl Consultancy and Services has decided to accept the role of Lead Trainer in Speechcraft, 2015. This is a yearly workshop organised by Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club to help the general public as well as toastmasters to learn and improve the art of public speaking. In addition, participants can finish three of their speech projects during the four days of workshop which will be held over four Fridays in October, 2015.

Helping Kin Foong in his training will be toastmasters Carl Wong, Zhuo Shuzen, Vidhi Sarkar, Kapil Pareekh and Arjun Chakrabarti, who are famous in their own rights with several accolades of medals in the club, area, division and district levels.

Ladies and gentlemen, do not miss a chance to be trained by these brilliant orators in Speechcraft, 2015. In order to register, kindly contact the organising chairs Linda Huang and Vincent Chen, whose numbers are mentioned in the poster.

Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club 507th Chapter Meeting and Chilli Crab Night

Greetings dear readers!

Let me tell you about an amazing chapter meeting that we witnessed this week. It was the 507th chapter meeting of our club. The evening was exciting and the mood was happy because not only were we in for a beautiful meeting, we were also going to go for the fantastic Chilli Crab session organized by our four newest Competent Communicators.

Without further ado, let me jump directly into the proceedings of the meeting:

There were four amazing speakers: 1) Mohanpriya - She delivered her Ice-Breaker Speech

                                                         2) Naveena Methani - She delivered her P2 Project Speech   

                                                         3) Joe Wan  - He delivered his AP1 Project Speech

                                                         4) Magdalene Thia - She delivered her AP3 Project Speech

The evaluators for the evening were: 1) Andrew Chen - He evaluated Mohanpriya's Speech

                                                            2) Arjun Chakrabarti - He evaluated Naveena's Speech

                                                            3) Jennifer Chua - She was a guest from Whampoa                    

                                                                Toastmasters Club and she valuated Joe Wan's Speech.

                                                            4) Shaun Li - He evaluated Magdalene's Speech

The Table-Topics segment was hosted by Vincent Chen and it was innovative, comprising a mix of topics which were to be supported with props randomly pulled out from a goody bag that Vincent had arranged.

The meeting was also accompanied by Birthday Celebrations of the September babies that was organized byJaric Ng and Zhuo Shuzen, the power duo who are our Vice-Presidents, Membership!

The other special feature of the club was the recognition of our Most Improved Toastmaster. The MITA award was delivered by Ng Kin Foong to our very own Joe Wan, who gave an Oscar-style victory speech thanking his mom and dad in toastmasters, who are Coen Tan and Shaun Li respectively.

It is time now, ladies and gentlemen, to announce the people who earned their ribbons. We are all winners in toastmasters but the best efforts are recognized with the help of ribbons provided by our Club President Gladys Tye. The ribbon achievers that night were:

1) Ice-Breaker Speech - Mohanpriya

2) Best Speaker - Magdalene Thia

3) Best Evaluator - Jennifer Chua

4) Best Table Topics Speaker - Vidhi Sarkar

It was full on girl powere, ladies and gentlemen!

The celebrations were followed by a fantastic chilli crab session organized by Vincent Chen, Arjun Chakrabarti, Junic Kee and Chee Wai Chan. People had great fun with Chilli Crabs, Salted Egg Prawns, Shrimp Balls, Fried Rice and Beer!

It was an excellent chapter meeting and we are excited about the next ones to come.
