We had a wonderful demo meeting at LTA Academy, initiated by Lee Jin Hwui, DTM and Lai Seng. Great job!
Joe Wan's philosophies of "Commit first, panic later" and "Be the First One in your life" and the examples from his own life, were educational and entertaining. Next Gladys Tye's "PHD- Purpose, Hunger and Drive" give us a guide to a remarkable life. Ng Kin Foong, CC, told stories from his life about finding love, all the way from his teenage years till the time he was studying German. Yew Run Bin, ACS, CL, delivered a moving speech about opening our hearts to love, and "The Virginia Effect", had some audience members in tears.
Also I felt President Gurmit Singh, CC gave a timely opening address about the history of Toastmasters and how it all began, was appropriate because many of us do not know the origins and history of Toastmasters.
Thomas Tan, CTM, ALS, was hugely entertaining as Toastmaster of the Day.
