Nee Soon South TMC as Project Speaker, 16th September 2019

On the 16^th September 2019, I was at Nee Soon South Toastmasters Club, as project speaker.  This was my 62^nd club visit on the 78^th day of the Toastmaster year.

The Toastmaster of the Day was Chan Ah Cheng.  She was also the table topics master.  The language evaluator was Ajit.  The timer was Tess.

The president’s opening address, by Lim Jun Song, was about the challenges of reaching the Moon, and that was the analogy of running a small club.  According to the president, it sometimes feels like a farmer ploughing a field without buffalos.  But whenever he felt overwhelmed, he learned to reach out to others.

Tess spoke of her pursuit of passion, as her icebreaker.  She introduced herself as a Residents’ Committee member, a professional engineer with LTA, and an elder sister.

Louisa Lim told us she works in IT, just like her husband.  And that how, aside from IT, they have very different interests and social circles. Despite this, it was love at first sight when they met.  She joined Toastmasters to overcome her fear of public speaking, and in that time, acquired a taste for rhetoric, and is a member of multiple clubs.

I spoke about the use of insurance policies as financial instruments by the wealthy, and how it differed from what conventionally is done.

The evaluators were Shanmugam, Sivanesan K. Murugayan, and Muhammad Nurhakim bin Mohamed Yusop.  Lim Jun Song was the general evaluator.

Best Speaker: Myself; and

Best Table Topics Speaker: Ajit.

There was no voting for best evaluator.
