Good day! It is time for update on our meeting again! This time, we have came out with a theme “Don't Count the Days, Make the Days Count” by Muhammad Ali.
I believe we all have our own goals in our lives – could be the big ones, the small ones, or the ones we might be romanticizing a little further from our reach. But no matter what the size or depth of the goal, we are on a path to achieve it. No matter what your goal or how near or far away you are from it, please bear in mind--- Don't count the days make the days count. Don't set the goal and then think just because you set it that it's just a matter of time before you arrive at it. Set the goal, and then spend every day making the path shorter, making all the energy you put into the success you're looking for count.
Waking up every day in the morning and make full use of every second in your life is making your days count. Do your best in everything in life, take risks, do something new, be kind and responsible are also the ways to make your days count. J You only live once, right? So make sure there won’t be regrets when you look back your life. Don’t make every day just another statistic or another X mark on your calendar. Make it count, make it special, and make it a quality day...Make it your own!
The evening was gracefully kicked off by first timer LimTerng Fui as the Toastmaster of the evening.
Ng Lai Leng, CC chaired the Table Topics session.
Six brave souls came to the stage and demonstrated their impromptu speech.
1. Everything happens for a reason - Abel (visiting Toastmasters)

4. Follow your heart or mind - Lim Terng Fui
5. Any regrets in life - Thava (guest)

Our first project speaker, Stanley Lo delivered CC#2 - Organize your speech
Title : What is the purpose of life?
Stanley shared a very rich experience he learnt from his teacher who reminded him the
purpose of life in this era of material and fast pace society. This brings us back to the basic
principles of loving people - easier said than done.
In the simplest form of love, one could slow down the pace of life, be thankful and
capture every moment that matters to you!
Our second project speaker, Malynda Tan delivered CC#4 - How to say it
Title : How RPGT applies to you in Malaysia
Malynda shared useful tips to house owners on the best time to dispose your properties and some regulations around RPGT in Malaysia. One of the most important takeaway from this chambering student's speech is to choose your lawyer wisely to ensure your interest is well protected!
Our third project speaker, Edrea Poh, CC delivered Advanced Manual (The Entertaining Speaker) - Project #1 - The Entertaining Speech
Title : The keys to lasting relationship
Edrea shared a real life love story with us, her parents' true love story. It started with day-to-day small little arguments and how the couple worked towards improving their relationship by compromising and completing each other.
Two core values to every relationship; Communication and Positiveness
Communication is a 2 way traffic - the sender and the receiver needs to receive the same message in order to be effective. Tips to this is to communicate openly and directly! (Try it!)
Happy people also focuses on the positive aspects in any situation. The law of attraction says: Positive attracts positive. With us starting to be positive, we can be a magnet and attract more good things in life!
Our fourth project speaker, Benz Chan, CC delivered Advanced Manual (Speaking to Inform) - Project #4 - A Fact Finding Report
Title : Cancer
Research shown that one out of 4 Malaysian will develop cancer by the age of 75 years old. Benz, being a medical rep shares his research and some statistics conducted by various studies in the world on cancer. Very informative session indeed!
- Evaluation is the key to Toastmasters -
We are grateful to have a panel of evaluators to provide feedback to our fellow speakers to further challenge their performance!
