Word of the Evening: INSPIRE
To inspire the audience, you must first be inspired.
Roleplayers of the Evening:
Toastmaster of the Evening - Joshua George, CC
Sergeant At Arms - Ng Wei Jiang, TM
Timer - Michael Chan, TM
Ah Counter - Lucas Ng, TM
Grammarian - Grace Chong, CC
GENERAL EVALUATOR - Dorcas Aung, CC
Table Topics Session:
Table Topics Master, YC Yap took the lead role and started the session with his unique style. The first volunteer was none other than Mr Joshua George with his given topic that goes something like 'What do you see in Barack Obama?' This seasoned speaker begin with the synonym of the name Barack Obama, that is CHANGE and he went on to inspire the audience. Next up was Mr Ng Wei Jiang, who spoke about Friendship and what it means to him. Third on the list was Mr James Gan. This man from Digi Toastmasters Club told the audience of his transformation from a kampung boy (aka introvert..hehe;) to a city boy (aka extrovert) and how socialising in the community benefited him. Muthu Kumar, our VPM rose to the occasion as the fourth volunteer, after much "persuasion" by Mr Stephen Fernando (as always..haha..). "Even when it is raining...." and Muthu Kumar went on to complete.. "...I will still come to Toastmasters meeting!" Wow..and he went on to explain the beauty of Toastmasters events. Very smart of you there, Muthu...XD
Table Topics Evaluator, again it was none other than ATMB Stephen Fernando! What else can I say about him? Handsome and shiny, ;P smart and funny, suave and sometimes crazy! Excellent delivery of his evaluation and as usual, no one was spared the laughter. Two thumbs up, Mr Stephen Fernando!!!
Humour Session:
The floor was open for everyone to share a joke or two. The jovial Dorcas Aung set the ball rolling with her joke about a tiger's head went missing. Where did it go?? Hmm... Then, the natural humour master (*hint* handsome and shiny!!) took the stage with his short joke... "Original or Spicy?" Hahaha!!!
What about the Food?
Fried beehoon with jellies! And if my lil' brain does not betray me, i think there was rendang as well...or was it the previous week? Oh well, food was as usual (quoting Mr Stephen Fernando) "Better than Hilton's"!! XD
Assignment Speakers:
Alex, TM - C&L 1st speech (ICEBREAKER!!! Congratulations!!!) - ALEX'S DREAMS

Special Event:
If you were there at the meeting, you must be wondering why the TME seems to be giving a lot of information while introducing speakers. Well, not many would have noticed but Mr Joshua George was in the midst of completing another assignment speech from the advanced manual and throughout the whole meeting, this man was being evaluated silently. Is it the 5th or 6th speech?? You know what, i lost count of his advanced speech. He's like being in the F1 race. Zooom! Haha..

4th International Speech and Table Topics Contest
24 February 2009
Word of the Evening: Huh?? (oops..) XD
Greetings, Ladies and Gentlemen!!
Stamford College Toastmasters Club recently held its 4th International Speech and Table Topics Contest on 24 February 2009. What happened? Who was there? How well did the event run? Erm..winners??
Contest started with a delightful dinner and fellowship session. Judges, role players and contestants were then briefed by the Chief Judge, President aka Mr Joshua, Organising Chair (Ms Grace Chong) and Contest Chair (Ms Gina).
7pm sharp! The beautiful Sergeant-At-Arms, Nisha called the first session of contest to order. Then, we had the opening address and welcome address by Mr President and Organising Chair respectively.
7.05pm! Time to kickstart the event!!! Ms Gina as the Contest Chair explained the Contest & House Rules. Are the contestants READY?? Is the audience READY???
Yeah!!!
Lucky number one was Mr Sam Fo Wei Hao. Looking smart in his white polo shirt, he marched to the stage and belted out a number to begin his speech entitled... DREAM. From the story of Kawasaki motorbike as his birthday present to the birthday bash his friends threw for him, he had the audience full attention. Then, the climax. Mr Sam danced with Amber Chia in another birthday party his politician uncle arranged specially for him!! Sounds difficult to believe? Trust me, I believed. You ought to hear his story. Then, the ending - It was after all, A DREAM. Sweat..
Next up was Mr Wang De Xin. KICKING THE SMOKING HABIT was his speech. A great effort in educating the audience on the harm of smoking and most importantly, the way to get rid of smoking habit. A full list of it and the challenge he made to the audience to quit smoking. The best part of his speech was.."If you still think you can't quit smoking, see me after this. I will personally guide you!"
Third on the stage was Mr Lim Sze Yue ;). SATISFACTION was the topic of the day. He led the audience through a number of his dissatisfaction in the beginning. Then, it was a sharp U-turn on why all of us should be satisfied with what we have now. The realisation that "Every individual in this room are much better off than thousands out there on the street..." was the message. Boy, was he satisfied with his speech. Trust me, I know. Hehe..
Looking good in red was Mr Muthu Kumar, our fourth contestant. SAVING HUMANKIND. I really wonder how he managed to insert so much of humour from the start to the end of his speech. The message of if everyone played a part, if everyone has the same goals, if everyone, you and me goes ahead and start saving the world, we actually can and we will. A slight hiccup in his speech was when the stand-fan didn't work BUT there you have, a professional speaker in the making, laughed steadily and told the audience to imagine the contrast of what One fan and Millions of fan (with the electricity on, hehe..) could do to him. A beautiful example. Great speech.
7.55pm, break time!!
Relieved, the international speech contestants headed for a quick dinner along with everyone else. The burden is finally off the shoulder! Yay!!
8.11pm, Table Topics Contest begins.
First on the hook was Mr Miebaka Christian Iringe Koko. Topic of the day as chosen by Chief Judge, Ms Ivy Cherng was "Teaching Science & Maths in English - Is it a good move?"
Then, it was Mr Lim Sze Yue's turn for the 2-minute impromptu session. (Note: all contestants were kept in a holding room and that there is no way for them to know what the topic was beforehand. Only when the contestants are on the stage, they were given the topic to speak about)
Third was Ms Fatoumata Dibba who tackled on convincingly on the given topic. She agreed that it is a good move and went on to explain her views on the issue.
Last but not least, Mr Muthu Kumar with his beaming smile came on and wow-ed the audience with his opinion.
As a conclusion, everyone said it was a good move to teach Science & Maths in English. What's your say, ladies & gentlemen?
8.29pm! Contest concludes.
As the audience waited for the judges deliberation on the participants performance, certificates were presented to the role players and contestants as well. The Organising Chair, Ms Grace Chong in a desperate (oops..haha) attempt to buy more time as the judges continued to be "missing", entertained the audience with her experience of another contest she attended.
8.39pm, Judges are back!!

A Gracious Evening

GENERAL EVALUATOR - Jessica Liew, DTM
Table Topics Session:
Ms. Priscila Low is back again!! Yes, with her jovial mood, she took on the role of the Table
Topics Master. This time around, things were a little different. First-time guests were thrown straight into the table topics "experience". Sam Wang Yi Hui, an IB undergraduate stood up to the challenge and shared what Angpau (red packets) meant to him. The tall and charming guy went on to tell that angpau were wonderful but it didn't beat the importance of having fire-crackers to play with back in Guangzhou! Hmm..why don't you share with me your red packets instead?? Hehe.. Next was another newbie to the crowd; Mr Wei Jiang who spoke about Mandarin Oranges. Then, it was Mr Joshua George "lecturing" all of us with his Choice of Gift to A Friend. Oops..did i just mention lecture?? Haha. Dorcas Aung was next, with her Most Unforgettable Chinese New Year Experience. It turns out that this year was her choice. Why? Clue: Times are Bad. Anyone get it? ;)
ATMB Stephen Fernando gave his Table Topics Evaluation with all the graciousness that one young man could have. The table topics participants were all encouraged and areas for improvement were given in a very delightful manner.
Humour Session:
TM Foo Li Hwa is back!! Great Ah Beng jokes u have there! I particularly remember the one that goes something like this. Ah Beng was mute and one day as he was walking, he bumped into Ah Seng. Ah Seng went on to ask, "Ah Beng, you should be working right now! What are you doing out here?" Knowing that Ah Seng couldn't understand sign languages, he took a leaf and repeatedly stepped on it. Ah Seng just couldn't get Ah Beng's meaning. Then, Ah Lian came by and Ah Seng asked if she understands what Ah Beng was trying to say. "Haiya, so simple..Ah Beng is on leave-lah!"
What about the Food??
Lo Sang ah!! Ladies and gentlemen, our VPE Grace Chong actually prepared yee sang for us! Not only that, she brought cookies and mandarin oranges too! A great CNY mood was well in the atmosphere. Of course, rice and two side dishes were also available. You see..SCTMC not only gives you a good speaking exposure, we also have super good food! Haha.. So, when are you coming over?? Take action now!! Anyway, ...

Thanks to the EXCO team members who were there early with the many little decorations that made the event a successful one. Also, special thanks to Mr Sam Wang, Ms Li Jialu and Mr Wei Jiang, all of whom are Stamford's students and first-timer to the meeting. They participated in cheering up the room as well. Wonderful job! I couldn't help but also thank Mr Stephen Fernando who "bugged" us all with his gestures indicating he wants angpau!! He really immersed everyone in the Lunar New Year's fun. Wait, i thought he was the one who's suppose to hand out red packets?? Aiks..where's mine???

Congratulations, SAM!! Looks like you're the big winner!! And the same goes to the two assignment speakers; TM SAMUEL FO and JOSHUA GEORGE. Thanks for your enlightening speeches. Listening to speeches like that always allows everyone to learn so much from the both of you.

The volunteers, i must say was quite "uniquely picked". What do i mean by that? Hmm..(Where were you on 13th January evening??) TM Foo Li Hwa went first to tackle the Table Topics Master's question no.3. Next, was TM Michael Chan explaining to the audience his plans for the coming Chinese New Year. Then, it was a first-timer, a Law student of Stamford College, Mr. Samuel Gordon who took upon the challenge of impromptu speaking. He gave a fabulous opinion on the dwindling of meaningful celebrations nowadays. CC Dorcas Aung was the fourth speaker, graciously appealing to the audience with her smooth flow of impromptu speech. Seems like they all had prepared for their respective topics..hmm.. Great job! Last but not least, CC Lim Sze Yue was thrown a topic asking for his opinion on the culture of giving hampers during the festive season. The first thing that went through his mind was, ooh..CORRUPTION!!
Table Topics Evaluator, again it was an honour for SCTMC to have ATMB Stephen Fernando who made his point that every speaker who took part were fabulous in their speech delivery. In addition, he managed to squeeze some time in his evaluation to tell of his experience dealing with guests during festive seasons. Yes, you can expect loads of laughter from his "rude" tale! Fabulous, Mr. Fernando!!!
Humour Session:
Who is it this time? Stephen Fernando? Foo Li Hwa? Me?? All wrong. The man who rised to the occasion to make us laugh was none other than TM Samuel Fo! Our own young man gave his humour in an excellent way that made the audience feel a tinge of doubt in MARRIAGE. Really had us laughing all the way to our dinner there...
What about the Food?
A warm dinner with chicken and vegetable served with rice. Side dish of local delicacies such as corn "kuih". (The kuih was so good that at the end of the meeting, when a few of us wanted to get more of it, we discovered..it was GONE. I could've swear there were a couple more slices left after the break ended..Now, who was it that sneaked out and took MY KUIH?!) ;)
