ITMA TMC as Language Evaluator, 31st October 2019

On the 31^st October 2019, I was at ITMA Toastmasters Club, as language evaluator.  This was my 103^rd club visit on the 123^rd day of the Toastmaster year.

The sergeant-at-arms was Simon Oh, the Toastmaster of the Day was Lisa Wong Pui Wan, the table topics master was Julie Ong P. S., the timer was Roy Wong, and the ah counter was Jeremy Shing.

Edwin Goh, in his presidential address, spoke about the Toastmaster journey, and how it is about learning, and not merely clocking in projects.

Edwin Goh was also the first project speaker.  His speech was about taking that leap of faith.  In his presentation, he showed that 80% of success in our career depends on our ability to communicate, not our academic results, not our background.

Cedric Lim gave a presentation about cyber safety.  He defined the difference between cyber security, and cyber safety, in a very technical presentation.

Gwen Ang argued passionately that Apple is superior to Android, from a technical perspective due to the way they verify third party applications.  Her speech went into depth on the policy contentions of both sides of the aisle.

Jenny Lim recounted her Toastmasters journey, and mentioned the many people who helped her in that journey to where she is, from overcoming her fear of public speaking, to her pursuit of rhetorical excellence.

The evaluators were Jimmy Thang, Livio Deltin, Willie Loh Chung Wei, and Chia Choon Kiat.

Best Speaker: Jenny Lim;
