We re-visited Hotel Puri again this year for this wonderful joint meeting with the Friendship Toastmasters Club (FTMC) . FTMC is an established club from Bukit Kiara Equestrian & Country Resort, Jalan Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur and currently lead by President Zaiton Zainal Abidin.

It was a big crowd this time in this Break free and Breakaway Program . (30+ people)

Many family members of the FTMC were present because it was more like a weekend club holiday trip to the historical Malacca City. That made the atmosphere of the meeting fun, warm and entertaining with performances and games.

FTMC also have a very interesting blog article on their Breakfree and Breakaway program experience. So , for those readers who would like to know their side of the story, kindly read here.

Malacca Toastmasters Deepavali Special

Hello everyone!

It's the eve of Deepavali and Malacca Toastmasters Club had our festival of lights meeting a few hours ago. It was superb and fantastic. So, for those who missed it, yeah you really missed it. Most of the members who attended were dressed in purple or wearing traditional Indian costumes.

This are our winners of the best dressed awards :

Best solo outfit

Best non-Deepavali outfit

Best double team dress

Best dress nominee

Best group photo

For the Table Topics, here 's some freebies for thought:

Imagine if you were assigned to this topics , what would you say on the cuff? ;)

This were the answers at that point of time.

Do you believe in love at first sight? =Clarence= " oh yes ;) Love on first sight happened between men , women and a chicken steak"

Which one come first, the chick or the egg? =guest = " they are by products of the God Factory"

Is fashion show a benefit/ harmful? =Jennifer ,ACB= " beneficial for women looking for potential * ehem"

Money or love? =William= "both" if you already have money, you would want love. Vice versa.

If parents can choose their children's gender, what will it be? =Melvin,CC,ALB= "boy..why? ask him."

Lastly, if you were appointed as the Chief of the Executive committee for Semi Annual Convention in Melaka next year, what is your plan? =Ahmad,ACB= What? ask him when you meet him"

To end the post for tonight, I would like to say a few words from Humour Master Mak Chee Kin, ACB which was "quoted" from Confucious.

" A lion would never betray it's wife but a tiger would"

Why? Ask him. Have a blessed Deepavali.
