Alluring toastmaster souls!

Totally enriching, at reunion of MMKL-ers

Open eyed & all ears!

At #454 reunion of MMKL-ers, I felt the sound & peace while people gathering in the most decorated Toastmasters club in Petaling Jaya, yes at Money Mastery-KL Toastmasters where a new remarkable day raised, witnessed the joy & cheerful souls in reds exchanging the kindest heart-warming greeting for the long waited especial guest coming in few days, It felt like delightful wind living in between, air filled with love, all around the place, started with the most repeated phrase of the day ‘’Happy Chinese New Year’’. I would say it is a totally enriching session.

ASAA Rahman, PM2 ringed the bell & announced the beginning of new learning episode. The captain of the ship, President KL Loh, ATMG officiated the meeting, with warmest welcome for all members & distinguished guests. Pretty much very well words said, I felt the positive goose bumps listening to his inspiring opening speech, with some recollected messages, such as  

‘’Let us learn & learn & be the promised proficient public speaker’’.
‘’Let us dig & dig & be engaged to grown the giant leader in us’’.

Insightful thoughts, ideas sharing, sincere wishes were amazingly recited by everyone through the introduction session, created a positive lively atmosphere among us all.

Soon after that, a glorious Lady Minnie Mouse showed up on the stage. In her most creative couturier and best dressed of the day, Wendy Sim, CC, steered the wheel as Toastmaster of the Evening, sailed us smoothly in next stations.
