SDHTMC Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contest - 23.08.2010

The long awaited event for the club finally took place yesterday. In this rounds club competition, there was a very good turn up of guests and supporters. There was representatives from 6-7 clubs and is a considerable amount of support. The turn our was around 30 odd people.

For those who where unable to join us, here are some updates on the contest. Overall, the meeting was a blast! Usually you would expect the mood to be a little more tense and serious since it is a competition, but instead the meeting was spontaneous and humorous. There were lots of laughs, not just because of the humorous speeches, but I think everyone was in a cheerful spirit. And to top it off, we where served with jelly (famous in our club), dates, low fat fried rice and cheese cake for dinner and for our Muslim friends to "buka puasa".

The Humorous Speech Contest (HSC):
In our HSC, there were 4 participants and all participants performed extremely well. The contest we indeed very humorous and there was a burst of talent. Every speaker spoke very naturally and their jokes where nothing short of entertaining. Well done everyone!! Continue to develop those talents and continue to spread this beneficial medicine around.

Toasmasters Club Meeting - 9th August 2010

It is 2 weeks before the competition... It was suppose to be an intense time. Everyone was expecting that the competitors would use this last opportunity to practise their speech for the up coming competition. Oddly there was no one doing their humorous speech!!! A change in the tide?? Instead we were blessed with 2 project speeches.

First speech was given by Toastmaster Mas Nor. She was giving her 3rd speech on organizing your speech. She gave a very well prepared speech entitled "Understanding Your Child". It was a great speech. Personally, hearing Mas give her speech I can see that she has made a mark improvement on her delivery of her speech. From the shy and nervous first speech, she has transformed to a person that enjoys sharing her story. Even though it is only her 3rd speech, she gave it with confidence. You could tell that she wa

s comfortable with the crowd. Mas, you did great! Look forward to hear your future speeches.

For the second speech, we where privileged to hear Advance Communicator Samuel Selvarajoo give his advance speech from the Speciality Speeches manual. You could see that this season speaker had what it takes to deliver an effective. Having given his speech from the "Off the Cuff" assignment, ACB Samuel a.k.a Sam came well prepared.

We were then given the opportunity to learn from Competent Communicator, Competent Leader Yeoh Cheng Lim on doing a good evaluation.

In the end, it would seem that the coming club competition did not affect our club members in this meeting. In turn, everyone that spoke that evening spoke exceptionally well. According to, Advance Communicator Gold, Victor, everyone that spoke for the table topics spoke very well and were very confident. 3 Cheers to all those who spoke!!!

By the end of the meeting, we acknowledged the best table topic speaker for the night.

Best Table Topic Speaker

Sara Kek, TM

Table Topic: Bad Habits

Congratulations Sara...

Overall, the meeting was a success. Everyone had fun and out performed their own expectation. Until the next meeting, which will be the club contest, all the best to all the competitors who will be participating in the Humorous Speech and Evaluation contest.

For details on the our club contest, kind view the previous blog post announcement.

Thank you.
