            Theme: Reminiscence                                                         
              Word of the day: Perky


Do you still remember those good old days? They might be days which saw off events which made you squirmed with embarrassment upon realization of your own innocence and naivety. They might be moments when you mischievously chased after the wandering flock of chickens with your mighty water gun.            


 These were childhood times in which you have long been hankering for upon stepping into the adulthood full of doubts and uncertainties. Reminiscence has had the better of us and this meeting came as a much-needed outlet for those pangs of nostalgia.

                The urge to turn back the clock back to childhood times surged with the Table Topics Session invoking our memories of the favourite Disney movies, the coyness exhibited in the maiden confession and the self-made cards dedicated to our parents with strokes of crayons and colour pencils.


                Aptly, all the assignment speeches presented seemed to remind us to always revisit the roots and basic tenets of the life.


It was kick-started with a brilliant sharing by CC Fatimah about the Secrets of Happiness. Its relevance couldn't be anymore emphasized given that we are in an era shaped by complexities and intricacies.
 “Happiness isn't a destination but a journey.”








In times where sleep is often considered as a time-consuming luxury, it was Sara’s speech which reminded us the importance of sleep.
"Lack of sleep causes mood swing and overall tiredness"








Lastly, Yew Yi gave his take on moderation with the speech titled as The Best of Both World.



"Moderation gives you an unrivalled perspective on things in times of conflicts."










 As usual, refreshment is the session which you can always rest your expectation upon. Words and compliments can hardly do justice to those cakes except churning it mindfully with silent appreciation.


Then, we had CC Dr. Tilla all the way from KL Tamil Toastmaster Club who played the role as a General Evaluator. She was thorough, helpful, perceptive and notably graceful in her delivery.
Besides, the meeting was also attended by guests: Yee Yuen and Zhi Soung who shared with us their insights on several matters.

 Things viewed from different lens are in fact needed for the club to grow from strength to strength. 








“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”
