Meeting No. 109- The Ice Breaker Day

Today's meeting was full of inspiration and motivation as we witnessed 5 new 'Toastees' performing their Ice Breaker speeches.

The day started with the club president, ACB CL Jing Yi, sharing her experience on how she was inspired by the evaluations on her first speech and kindled the spark for the meeting. TM Wei Chin did an awesome job as the toastmaster of the evening for the very first time. She emceed the meeting with lots of joy and laughter.

The energy got even higher when the table topics master, TM Fatima (also for the first time), came out with a special table topics session where we need to become actors like the Hollywood stars!
Then came the main highlight of the meeting, our Ice Breaker speeches of course!

TM Ann started the ball rolling by sharing her love towards rabbits, her favourite colour and her passion in microbiology.
The voracious reader, TM Siau Inn talked about her nerdy side, but to us reading is not nerdy at all! Now we know how she acquire the good command of English.
TM Yik Ming displayed his talent in humorous speaking when he talked about his obsession towards anime and ghost movies in the most hilarious way.
Our ambitious TM Kevin shared his desire of becoming a good public speaker and dream of becoming a politician in the future.
Last but not the least, our TM Wen Hao spoke of his parents and their influence over his self development.

The evaluation session continued after the 10 minutes break, CC Kah Fai took over as the general evaluator with his team of evaluators, DTM Dr Devi, ACB CL Ivy Lau, ACB CL Jing Yi, TM Ing Ting and TM JiaQuan. The evaluations for the speakers were constructive and for sure it had injected great confidence in our new members for their future speeches.

CC Kah Fai wrapped up the meeting with lots of word of encouragement and we are absolutely positive to our new members soar to become excellent speakers and leaders in the future! Keep 'toasting'!

Finally, don't forget our "clubbing" this Thursday. We will be going to visit MAICSA Toastmasters Club. (The visit to BASC Toastmasters Club is cancelled as many of us have lectures on that time.)
