Money Mastery TMC as Language Evaluator, 22nd November 2019

On the 22^nd November 2019, I was at Money Mastery Toastmasters Club, as language evaluator.  This was my 125^th club visit on the 146^th day of the Toastmaster year.

The sergeants-at-arms were Darrell Tan and Claire Li.  The Toastmaster of the Day was Candrika Adri Tjo.  The timer was Tea Pei Qi.  The table topics master was Alfred Swe.  The photographer was Donathan Ong.  The videographer was Jiang Wen Chao.  The multimedia manager was Joel Shee.

Rebecca Tan H. Q., in her presidential address, spoke about taking advantage of our opportunities.  In the case of Toastmasters, it is about airtime, and maximising it.

Koh Keng Huat spoke about the personal growth of various club members, and name-checked them.  He then expounded on how that inspired him on his Toastmasters journey.

Ranil Narra gave a speech about patience.  He contended that this generation is far less patient.  This is due to environmental factors.  Technology has pampered us, and made us less patient.  He expounded on what can be done to help our children overcome this.

Adeline Yeo gave a speech about methods for developing healthier communication styles.  She went into some detail on the concept of mindful speaking.  In essence, the purpose of deep listening is empathy and compassion.

Catherine Chain gave a hilarious speech about taking advantage of people.  This was a prime example of misdirection in humour, and it went over well with the audience.  The real lesson is taking advantage of people with better attributes and abilities so that we can better ourselves.

The evaluators were Ray Suvrodeep, Zhang Ye, Muhammad Nurhakim bin Mohamed Yusop, Penny Anne Radcliffe, and Patrick Oei Kian Seng.
