According to Toastmaster, Paula, in ” favorite foods”, ” favorite” comes first. What makes a food a favorite is as much the experience around it (who we were with, where we were) as the food itself. In the movies of our lives, there are a lot of food scenes that contain fond memories of love and food: grandma’s stewed pork legs, dad’s ” korean rice” or sweetened milk tea, bubble tea.
Three speakers presented speeches : Hui and Lori delivered their ice breaker speeches titled: ” Two life lessons” and ” Welcome to the new zone” respectively. Both ice breakers had a common theme: that of turning challenges into growth opportunities. The third speaker was a repeat presentation of ” A dog’s life” by Jovica. Presented from the perspective of Kiku, Jovica’s maltese, this speech was rich in details of the charmed life of a much beloved pet.
Belle led a solid round of table topics, Isabella kept the meeting on time and Cris was the Grammarian. The word of the day was ” delicacy”
