AIA TMC as Project Speaker, 26th September 2019

On the 26^th September 2019, I was at AIA Toastmasters Club, as project speaker.

The Toastmasters of the Day were Margrette Lo Foong Quan, and myself.  The table topics master was April Lin Shu Li.  The language evaluator was Gerald Yong Kim Heong.  The timer was Liang Ye.  The ah counter was Stephen Hoon Wee Jin.  The creative director was Margrette Lo Foong Quan.  The photographer was Frances Goh Ching Yee.

Jack Sia Cheong Ghee’s presidential address was about reaching for the stars, and being a guide for us.  As a team, we are never in darkness.  It was poignant, and touching.

Chng Pia Kim gave his very first speech.  He spoke of his journey to a healthy lifestyle after receiving a wake-up call, when his father had a stroke, six years ago.  He changed his lifestyle, and his diet.  He does not take canned soda, barbequed food, and exercises regularly.

Angelique Ng Lay Peng told of her journey from Asia Insurance to AIA, and the amount of work she put in to eventually be achieve MDRT.  Essentially, it was sheer hard work, climbing the ladder from an executive assistant to where she is now.

Linda Lee gave a humorous speech about talking in her sleep, self-diagnosed dyslexia, and trawling Google for ideas for her humorous speech.  She has a talent for stand-up comedy.

I spoke about the lessons learned in my first few months as Area Director, and what we can learn from this experience as a club.

The project evaluators were Stephen Hoon Wee Jin, Jack Sia Cheong Ghee, Zhuo Shu Zhen, and Ivan Lee Kuan Seng.
