Good evening Toastmasters and friends, does that sound familiar? Tonight allow me to share more about our club's Vice-president of Education, Joni Siah. And to do that I will break it down into her name - J, O, N, I.  J is about how I JOINED Katong Toastmasters Club.  Last November, I came back as a visitor, but I was chased around the room and backed into a corner. Joni gave me 2 choices - either join this Toastmasters Club or join her Katong Running Club.  Knowing that I cannot outrun her, I asked to be signed up as a member. And that's how I ended up here, presenting a speech about her.  O is for Opponent.  Simply presenting a speech during club meeting is never ...

P3 Get to the Point speech by Shahnawaz: An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer his plans to leave the house bu ilding business and live a leisurely life w ith his wife and family. He would of course miss his payc heck, but he w ould get by. The builder was sorry to see his favorite worker go and asked him if he could build one last house for him as a personal favor. The carpenter succumbs to years of loyalty and said yes, but it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career. When the carpenter finished the house in few months, the builder came to inspect the house , the builder then hand ed over the front-door key of the house to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you." What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known that he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently ...

Project 1 The Icebreaker speech by Lynn Tiang: Good Evening, fellow members and guests. My name is Lynn Tiang and I am very grateful to be given this opportunity to stand before you to introduce myself. Today, I would like to share with you my CHILDHOOD DAYS IN THE KAMPONG Any of our friends here do not know what is ‘kampong’ ? Kampong is a Malay word which means village. I grew up in a small Kampong called Setiawan in Malaysia. Setiawan ; origin:Malay, a portmanteau of Setia Kawan , meaning "Loyal Friend". I was a very adorable little girl when I was young, but I had very boyish personalities. Why do I say so? I played basketball with boys not girls, because I thought the girls were too weak. I climbed trees to be Tarzan but not Jane. I reared colorful fighting fishes in glass container like other boys; I caught small little black fighting spiders at the back yardand kept them in the match boxes. I could even differentiate the male from female spiders. For fighting...

PROJECT 2: PROTEIN MYTH What do Arnold Schwarzeneggar, Martina Navratilova and Carl Lewis have in common ? First, they are champions in their respective sports. Second, they are very fit and muscular, and Third, they are vegetarians. Toastmasters, Ladies and Gentlemen: This evening, I want to share with you 3 popular misconceptions about plant proteins. MYTH NO 1: YOU CANNOT GET ENOUGH PROTEIN ON A VEGETARIAN DIET The World Health Organization recommends 0.8 gram of protein daily for every kilogram of body weight for both man and woman. Using this guideline, a 50 kilogram person needs 40 grams of protein a day, while a 70 kilogram person needs 56 grams of protein daily. So how MUCH is 40-50 grams ? 50 grams is equivalent to 10 sheets of A4 size paper. 50 grams is also equivalent to HALF the weight of my hand phone. As you can see, 50 grams is NOT very much is it ? Let’s look at Table 1 which shows the Quantity of grains, pulses (bean...
