Word of the day:Benevolence

What does RISE stand for? According to ACS, ALB, Jing Yi, it embodies Respect,Integrity,Service and Excellence.

ACS, ALB, Jing Yi,

Before the moment of transition, on top of the itinerary were 2 project speeches respectively undertaken by TM Jacky and TM Shafinas. 

No, you didn't hear it wrong. Time flies and the meeting, was in essence, an AGM.

Rise as you should! TM Jacky, with his speech, Hero, to be or not to be, surged to the stage as Superman. the figure that only parades across your TV screen. No joking. Jacky was a literal superman, albeit in a different way and the slight difference - J instead of S in front of the chest. 

Indeed, everyone can be superhero without those super-power. All it takes is a willing heart to make this world - replete with realism - a better place. Let's have faith. Be a hero to yourself and last but not least to yourself no matter how tough the life is.

Project Speaker TM Jacky

Next, it was a drama session - still a speech session in essence. With the title The Orphan, TM Shafinas enriched her speech with vivid body language. The description was so detailed as if you were in the setting. The heart-wrenching story of a stray kitten was ended with a heartening note, that it was finally found and adopted by a caring girl.

Project Speaker TM Nur Shafinas 

After a rather hearty refreshment with new kind of food dotting the table, CC Yik Ming and his team summed up the past term with reports.  Then, came was the solemn session where energetic new faces rise to the occasion while the weary ones stepped down as a mark of the end of their tenure. The new committee was formed in a peaceful and amicable manner.

Refreshment 

 ACS, ALB Jing Yi's farewell speech sounded more like a eulogy. It was hard for her to put her passion and dedication to serve in the capacity of Area Governor to rest. Wherever she heads next, it is sure that she can look back with a great sense of pride.

It is much anticipated of how her successor-to-be, CC, CL Ing Ting would fare given the excellent service she had delivered as the club's VPM.

CC, CL Ing Ting

Good luck to the new committee.

New committee

It is time to put down the pen. Till then!

Meeting No: 155

Theme: Time Management 

Word of the day: Punctual

Time is of essence. This can't be anymore stressed!

TM Chern Ken, the Toastmaster of the Evening conducted the introduction session with members sharing their experiences and tips regarding time management. There were some lamenting that time management was a myth. Indeed, to turn myth into reality, it requires great adherence to schedule and discipline!

Next, it was the Table Topic Session conducted by TM Jacky. 

Among the attempts at Table Topic that deseerved highlight was none other than CC Rishi's, Expressing his loathe towards the deadline and schedules that often wear people out, CC Rishi proposed that it was best if there was no such thing as time management and one could live his life at the pace he desired.
CC Sara - the first speaker in Project Speech session, with her title Meena Bazaar shared her experience of joining a fun fair held in her school in Pakistan. 

Life's Greatest Blessing. What else, right? CC, CL Ing Ting's speech was replete with profound values that love top them all. Presenting it by way of analogy, she drove home the message that "if there is love, all others - success and wealth will fall in place".

Lately, there has been a lot of vices against women. In a bid to help people protect themselves better, CC Rishi spoke on how simple tips can work great in times of danger and emergency.

Lastly, CC Rathippriyah shared the story of Mahathma Ghandi and the inspiration he had enacted throughout his life.
After an energizing refreshment, audience were all ears for the comments and suggestions on areas of improvement. As usual, with DTM Dr. Devi taking the helm, the evaluation was never short of motivation and great substance.

CC Rishi was about to share something valuable given that the surrounding was so unsecured and personal safety was at stake.

Miss Laughter, ACB Wei Chin, the first Table Topic Speaker.

Guest Yee Yuan surged to the stage in the Table Topic Session.

Meeting No: 154

Theme: Mother's Day

Word of the day: Grateful

In line with the theme, the meeting was stared with a round of gratitude to our respective mothers. Indeed, we are all truly indebted to the loved and only one who has tirelessly nurtured us.

The gratitude to the mothers was extended to Table Topic Session.

To guest Yee Yuan, her mother was like a harbor and refuge, sheltering him from the searing sun and torrent rain out there before he became a full-fledged ship.

To CC, CL Jing Xian, the best way to express love to her mother was to be as economical as possible. Googling up a nice picture coupled with words of gratitude would suffice. What a peculiar yet a creative, modern way of celebrating the Mother’s Day!

As for TM Pei San, she celebrated the day with marked importance with the food cooked by her mom. The saying that ‘mothers never retire’ is true indeed.

As for TM Nicholas, the best gift he could give to his mother was flower as her mother was   flower enthusiast.

Proceeding to Project Speeches, TM Nicholas presented his speech with the title The Lion Whisker. Ever craving for potion that could transform you to be a great lover? Try plucking a lion’s whisker. It teaches you 3 fundamentals of love which are persistence, prudence and patience.

Next, CC, CL Fatimah cautioned us with her speech to “Drive Safely”. Take note that there must be no alcohol before driving and mobile phone during driving.

It was UMTMC's honour to have CC Rathippriya to be the General Evaluator of the meeting. With the wealth of experience she possessed, the audience had benefited a lot from the Evaluation.
