Chingay 2007
It was a night of excitement and colours at Orchard Road on 24 Feb 07 (sat).
Orchard Road was closed to traffic to facilitate Chingay 2007. At 6.30pm, Orchard was already packed with people on both sides of the road. People are seated on the road. Some brought their own mats, others like myself brought along food and drinks.
The first episode of Chingay was an argument between a Chingay Staff and an audience. Apparently, the audience paid for a Chingay ticket that was meant to be a complimentary ticket. Luckily, the heated argument was “extinguished” shortly after the audience cool down.
It was a long wait before the actual parade starts at 8.00pm. It was fun to see the different nationalities and culture performing down the lane. The performers put up a great show and many of us were certainly entertained. Though we were tired from sitting on the road for a few hours …

Can You Talk?
Yes. Most of us can talk. But can you talk in public? Or rather can you do public speaking?
Most of us fear public speaking more than death.
There’s a saying “People rather lie in a coffin than to give a sermon at a funeral !”.
Is this a cancer? Can this fear be overcome? Yes. Join Toastmaster …
Toastmaster is a non-profit organization that promotes public speaking globally. It is effective and affordable. Millions of people have benefited from Toastmaster since it was founded. Today, there are more than 140 Toastmaster Clubs in Singapore. Many of them held their Toastmaster Meetings at Community Clubs.
As a Toastmaster member for more than 3 years, I’ve learnt and grown through the years. My public speaking skills and confidence have improved with practices and guidances by the experienced Toastmasters.
I’m happy to join Kampong Glam Toastmaster Club and I’ve volunteer to be the Vice President (Public Relations) for the club. It is now my duty to share with you the benefits of Toastmaster and to encourage you to join us.
We are meeting every last Thursday of the Month. The next chapter meeting will be held on 29 Mar 2007 (Thur).
Drop me a email at dex@achieversbank.com to reserve a seat. See you on 29 Mar !
