Greetings Toastmasters, Ladies & Gentlemen!
A candle-lit dinner for two, by the seaside. Special, solemn, sweet. These and more are the thoughts in Donna’s mind about romantic date ideas with her first wedding anniversary approaching. She realized that even though there were no extravagant gifts, romance is about appreciation, and she appreciates every little thing her husband does for her. Congratulations Donna! How you said it definitely touched our hearts!
Donna paints a vivid imagery of her first wedding anniversary.
Reading makes us stronger, richer and better people. A habit of reading results in slower memory decline in old age by stimulating our brains. Ong Yin also provided statistics to show the relationship between reading and understanding one another. Thank you Ong Yin for your well-researched Competent Communicator project no. 7.

Reuben delivered a speech from the advanced manuals, the Entertaining Speaker Manual. He shared with the club on how he unwittingly became a test subject for a Medical examination. What exactly does a doctor’s exam look like? Reuben brought us insight into what goes on behind those closed doors.
Reuben makes them laugh.
Ling thought that university is a place to train our minds hence, it is not necessary to get a job that is directly related to what we study. Rayhan would rather choose a high paying job that he dislikes over a low paying job that he likes simply because he realized the difficulties of not having enough money during his university life.
