Let’t get the ball rolling, Klang Toastmaster Bilingual Club Regular Meeting (83). On the 83th meeting we had 23 distinguish Toastmasters and was being honored by 5 guests, they are:
1. Richard Yeow, CC from CIMA Toastmaster Club
2. Nuissah
3. Gunasundari
4. Alvin Lim
5. Angela Lee
Our distinguish guest, Richard Yeow, had picked up the Toastmaster of the Evening (TME) role and conduct the meeting no lesser than excellence. The theme for tonight is “Believe It and Achieve It”. He started off with sharing with us on the book that he had read, “THE SECRET”. With one of the most famous quotes of today: THE LAW OF ATTRACTION.
Out of surprise and ordinary, we have an Invocation Session tonight, for a long time we did not have this session, and we are astounded that it finally returned! Adrian Kow TM shared with is us about a fishing journey of a 7 years old kid, Sean, who has the passion and persistency for his hobby. Little Sean doesn't care if it's hot, he doesn't care if it's high tide or low or even if the fishes are much more difficult to catch during this period. All he cared and focus on was to enjoy the moment, doing the thing that he loves, and having a believe that, sooner or later, he will catch HIS fish. We the KBTC members and all of Toastmaster international engaged Toastmaster for reasons which we ourselves believed in, whether be it to be better public speakers, better leaders, or even a better communicator. Now if we hold on to this believe of ours, acting on it, persevere with it, and be passionate about it, we too can once again me focused like little Sean, being better, wiser, and before long, be catching our own kind of fish! BELIEVE IT & ACHIEVE IT
The Word of the Day was “Con.fi.dent”, verb.

In the Impromptu Speech Session, Joey Chua, CC has challenged us on persuasive skill. Derric Tan, TM he lead off the impromptu session, follow by Siew Ming Yan, TM, our distinguish guest, Gunasundari, Loh Boon Keong, TM, our distinguish guest again, Alvin Loh and end by Alvin Yong, TM. Another pleasant surprise session in our meeting was the Humorous Session; Chew Siew Lei TM has improved a lot on her humor skill. Today she told us a story about a lady went to do her shopping at “Husband Shop”. So, girls, do you wish to visit this shop as well? If you wish to find it out, please check and get the location from Chew Siew Lei (just kidding). The moral of the story is… Girls/Woman is hard to please; they’re never satisfied with the things they have. I hope I got the right points. Anyway, this is a Humor session, and I’m sharing it with fun. Hopefully the ladies won’t get too personal on it. J
Filling up our stomach, now it’s time for us to fill our mind, the TME started the 2nd session, Prepared Speech Session. Today we have 3 speakers, they are:
1. C&L #2 : Organize Your Speech – Patrick Lim, TM Title : Ever Had He has share with what is the secret that lead him towards the achievement that he had achieved today. “The 90/10 Principle”. The Author is Stephen Covey. {What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react! What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. For example, the plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%! How?... ... By your reaction! }(sources from http://www.docstoc.com/docs/12990/10-90-rule)
2. C&L #2 : Organize Your Speech – Cecelia Hoo, TM Title : Why should not be too nice in life? A question comes to my mind after I listen to this title, it contradicts our normal thought that we should try to be nice to everybody! After hearing her story, it have the points of should not be too nice! Her quote: sometime “Too nice = S.T.U.P.I.D” Let’s think about it!
3. C&L #5: Your Body Speaks – Alvin Yong, TM Title : Healthy & Wealthy Life A typically reminder for us, we should life healthy and toward wealthy life! A generous reminder to the smoker, please stop smoke because smoke will spoil your health by cancer! A reminder to non smoker, never ever try to smoke!
Last but not least the Awards! The winners are:
1. Best Table Topic Speaker – Derric Tan, TM 2. Best Assignment Speaker – Patrick Lim, TM 3. Best Assignment Evaluator – Derric Tan, TM
Congratulation to all the winners of best Speakers and Evaluator!
