I’m grateful for the fortuity to chance upon Toastmasters and they helped me to kick start my adventure in public speaking.
‘Tis an adventure because over 11 years and 9 months (or 4,292 days to be exact), I have learned so much and I have achieved so much. And yes, I've made many, many speeches too because that is what public speaking is all about.
In fact, I presented a grand total of 880 project speeches from 109 manuals. It's no mean feat because I’ve been a Toastmaster since July 01, 2008 – and if you do your sums, on average, I did one speech every 4.88 days.

Undeniably, my Toastmasters output has been extraordinary. I shouldn't be surprised because I invested a lot of time, money and energy in order to amass a meritorious collection of 132 Toastmasters awards in Communication and Leadership:
Truly, I can be proud of my accomplishments:
Of course, I would not have been able to achieve all of the above – if not for Toastmasters everywhere who kindly gave me speaking opportunities and meeting roles – but more than that, they offer me their friendships. Thank you, Toastmasters!
My parting words to aspiring Toastmasters shall consist of just 5 words. Toastmasters is all about DCP.
“Diligence, Commitment, Passion”.
Finally, my love affair with Toastmasters is at an end. Farewell, Toastmasters!
