Angels and Demons
Angels and Demons – the first thing that comes to mind is the bestseller by Dan Brown. But have you ever thought that maybe angels and demons are not just mythical characters found in books or movies, but maybe be different forms of human behavior?
There are times when we bring out our angelic side and that’s how we hope we remain- calm and peaceful both from within and outside. But isn’t demon a fallen angel? Emotions of greed, hate, jealously are all characteristics of demons and unfortunately of humans too.
Every day we make a choice – to be an angel or a demon.
MMTMC is giving you that choice as well. But in a fun and engaging way! Make a choice to be an angel (by wearing white) or a demon (by wearing black) on the coming Friday, 6 October 2017, 7-10pm and do accessorize yourself in the best possible way while you make your choice clear. It is the one and maybe the only time where no one will judge you based on your choice.
Be that angel or that demon that you have always wished to be as you enjoy fiery speeches and intuitive evaluations and unleash your harmlessly devilish side with the table topics sessions.
There’ll also be a photo booth set up for that evening! So be sure to dress up in your most angelic and devilish looks this coming Friday.
See you there!
Divided by Countries, United by Music
“Op, op, op, op
Oppa Gangnam Style
Gangnam Style!”
You surely sang that in the tune, didn’t you? Even though you may not have understood what the lyrics meant!
That is the power of Music. In a world divided by culture, beliefs and language, one thing that we can always depend on to bridge the gaps is Music. More than just the chords and riffs, it is the emotional content packed behind these melodies that make music so universally relatable.
Music has far-reaching effects to our everyday lives. It accompanies us as we pen down our Toastmaster scripts, you can use it to soothe yourself before a presentation or you can even use it as a tool for your speeches itself! No matter which culture we are from, everyone has their own relationship with music.
So to all the Beyonces and Ed Sheerans in the house, it’s time to turn the MMTMC Chapter meeting to an in-house musical extravaganza! Let us come together to celebrate the oneness of Music that goes way beyond boundaries on 22nd September 2017, 7pm-10pm, with our chapter meeting “Divided by Countries, United by Music”. Witness amazing speeches, insightful evaluations and fun table topics and sway to the rhythms of happiness and positivity.
See you!

On 23rd September 2017, our brave contestants from MMTMC are going to represent our Club in the Area D1-D3 Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contest. Contest starts at 9am, at The Plaza, 7500A Beach Road #12-324, Singapore 199591.

My hobbies include reading, gaming, travelling, and of course Club Hopping as a Toastmaster. I am looking forward to many fruitful years ahead meeting like-minded fellows and continue my journey in our movement.

There are many memorable experience in MMTMC till date. I am especially humbled and inspired by our team harmony in preparing for the Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contest in 2016 where I was the Organizing Chair.
- How has being a toastmaster changed your life?
Having the trust of our members, taking on greater responsibility and delivering the results have help to make me a better person.

There are too many people whom I would love to invite to dinner. If I can only choose one, I would choose my grandmother whom I was especially close to. While she has left us quite some time ago, her imprints on me have left a lasting impression, I would not be the person I am today without her support and it would be wonderful to have dinner again.
The Power of Conviction
SINGAPORE IS OUT!!!
When Straits Times announced it on their headlines, it plunged the lives of Singaporeans into a deep void of uncertainty. On the 9th August 1965, Singapore became an independent nation against our will, and was soon faced with piling adversities for a young nation.
However, our fore fathers did not budge. In the face of societal, economic and military challenges, our fore fathers fought it with diligence at hand and conviction at heart. It was with that belief and willpower that they built the Singapore that we see today – a nation not meant to be.
This Chapter Meeting, in conjunction with National Day, let us all put on our favourite RED or WHITE outfit, and unite as one Money Mastery tocelebrate how with noble conviction, our fore fathers have transformed this sleepy fishing village into a global financial hub.

As a certified Business Continuity Management (BCM) management consultant and avid evangelist for corporate adoption of good BCM practices, I have been invited to speak and share my vision in numerous BCM related seminars and conferences across Asia. I believe that Business Continuity is everybody’s responsibility and all socially responsible corporations should treat this seriously. I love conducting trainings in my industry; always aiming to make the complicated simple. I hope to help the younger toastmasters to be more confident and competent in public speaking.
Before I became a management consultant, I was a General Manager for two factories of 1000 employees each in China for 8 years.

Cutently, I am one of the top trainers in the company and a well-recognized speaker/facilitator in regional conferences.

I love to teach and share my knowledge. One of my strengths is the effective use of visual aids in presentations. One is never too young nor too old to become an influential speaker and presenter.

Drinking wine, watch Netflix, watching soccer, road biking, playing with my three cats and listening to well-crafted speeches from my life partner, Michell.
