If we were to similise life to a book, there'll always be a number of chapters in our life. These chapters are the transitions in life, revealing our exposure and adventure in each period of time and what lessons we've gotten from them. Each chapter tells where you are emotionally. When you're given a chance to compose a new chapter in your life, how'd you write it? As for HELP Toastmasters, we can't promise that this is gonna be the most riveting and breathtaking chapter ever, but we promise to write this new chapter from the bottom of our hearts and make it a very jubilant and memorable one. :)
On the 8th of June, we had our very first meeting held by the new term of exco. For starters, kudos to our fabulous president, TM Yi Ling, who strained every nerve and sinew to pull off this marvellous meeting! We're particularly honoured with the presence of several notable guests, which comprised of our very honourable Division G Governor, DTM Thiagarajah Nesan (a.k.a Tiger) from MAS Melor Toastmasters; DTM Renganathan from Ernst & Young Toastmasters; the incoming Area B2 Governor, CC, CL Chironjit Das, who is also the president of CIMA Toastmasters; the very professional speaker, ATMS, Cl Dr Alvin Teoh from Sunway Toastmasters, and CC Reuben from Bangsar Toastmasters! We're jubilant to conclude that this meeting was a total success as everyone had fun and learnt something! :)

In this new chapter, many of us had our very first time for something, our president TM Yi Ling presented her very first presidential address, TM Jie Yen took her first challenge as the TOM, TM Joyce was the Table Topics Master for the first time, TM Jocelyn gave her first ever evaluation, and there were two amazing ice breaker's speeches!
And each of them certainly did a fantastic job! Congratulations to all of them!:D

Well as for me, If I were to write a new chapter in my life, I'm going to script it as if this was the last chapter, and write everything possible in it. So that I'll never have to wish that 'if only I could turn back time and go back to that chapter, I would've...' Perhaps we could always start a new chapter in life, but we can never go back to the previous chapters to alter what has been written. You can't cling to the past. Because no matter how tight you hold on, it's already gone. -quoted from HIMYM, S08E23 ;)
