SDTMC Toastmasters

While waiting for the exciting photos and stories from the photographers and runners going to Singapore International Marathon on Sunday 2 December, let me introduce another discipline to you. This time, one does not need to move the legs (or hands) much, as in running, cycling or trekking. You just have to move your mouth only – in public speaking.

Installation ceremony for Club Officers

Two Saturdays ago, Speakers’ Dream Toastmasters Club, Kuala Lumpur (“SDTMC”; formerly known as Institute Bank-Bank Malaysia Toastmasters Club – for bankers) celebrated its 10th Anniversary. Coincided on the same evening, the Club officiated the Club Officers Installation for the in-coming EXCO 2007/2008.

Please click here to take a glimpse of the happenings on that evening, with photos taken by yours truly. Other than the solemnity of the occasion, it was also an evening of camaraderie, fun and games.

Miss Yap - sworn in as one of the EXCO

When one achieved 10 assignment speeches, a speaker is awarded the title, CTM that stands for Competent Toastmaster, which we also call it “Can Talk Much” since one would have acquired the license to talk a lot after overcoming stage-fright, butterflies in the stomach, etc.

Applause with approval from the members

SDTMC produces numerous distinguished speakers who are now embarking on the journey as trainers, consultants, international comedian, etc. If you are interested to improve on your public speaking skills, contact me or the SDTMC EXCO for more details. The URL link of SDTMC is located at the left sidebar of this weblog.

Let us drink a toast to the Club

Being one of the past club presidents of SDTMC, I am now taking on a different role as the webmaster of the Club. That sound familiar, right? I am also the webmaster of the most talked about Pacesetters Athletic Club Malaysia (among runners), besides maintaining my own weblog, KC&SR.

Good camaraderie

As you can see, I spent much of my leisure time on the two “…ters” – the toastmasters and pacesetters. In the morning, running around as in pacesetters; in the evening, attending club meetings as in toastmasters. What a unique way to live life - stretching my limbs and brain.
