Goodbye 2016

Rain, however heavy, will have to stop, grieve how ever painful, will have to heal, happiness how ever euphoric, will have to pass and year 2016, however reluctant we are, will be gone soon.

Come join us on 27th December 2016 for the last meeting of the year at TMIKL, Jalan Imbi, Bankers Club.

This year, we celebrated the achievements of our members and also bade some sterling members goodbye.

Everyone has their own reasons to stay or to go, we at TMIKL wish you all the best and we sincerely hope that you left as an improved speaker and also brought along some pleasant memories of your toastmasters journey with you.  

2016 for the better or worse, you will be missed.

Meeting # 800 in the park

The choice to choose between waking up early on a rainy Saturday morning to attend a toastmasters meeting or to sleep in was an easy decision to make.



Despite the heavy rain, the risk of being struck by a lightning bolt or drowning in a flood, it was a spirited turn out. At TMIKL, whether it is rain or shine, the show must go on. 




We even had a guest Kazuhisa Hirano, all the way from Japan, who found out about our meeting via http://easy-speak.org. This is a testament that besides making you a better leader and communicator, Toastmasters International also helps you to connect people from around the world.



Thank you friends of TMIKL, Gabriel Chong, Justin Jesunathan, & Intan Nurshiela & Ikram for gracing the meeting. All of you gave up your Saturday morning to be with us, we couldn't be more thankful because you guys are definitely our sunshine after the rain!

The best thing about the rain is the rainbow that appears afterwards, the best thing about a toastmasters meeting is the extra motivation to be a better speaker.

Hopefully we can have more meetings like this in the future, minus the chaos. A big thank you to all who attended meeting #800, because you made it happen!
