Many try.
Few succeed.
TMIKL just recently held its Humorous and Evaluation Contest on the 14th of July 2009.
With a room filled with eager Toastmasters and Guests, the event started with the Chairperson giving his Opening Speech and introducing the contestants. Despite having only 2 contestants of the Humorous Speech Contest, Mas Rizal, our Club President and Ismail Omar, a veteran Toastmaster; we are assured of a square fight.
Mas Rizal gave a profound speech on taking care of his newborn son, Daniel which hit a few familiar notes with parents and provides a quirky outlook of being a new parent. His experiences with his son left the floor in stitches.
Ismail Omar gave took the floor down memory lane to his experiences with sports. With his rendition of how “handphones” were like back in his time, he gave the floor a good laugh while relating his various childhood experiences.
After the break, we were educated on Getting Along in a Relationship by Penny Chin, from ITC Bintang Toastmasters. This brought the meeting to the start of the Speech Evaluation Contest. She was evaluated by the contestants – Mas Rizal, Elizabeth Xavier, Richard Toh, Ismail Omar and Emily Tan who did a speech evaluation for the first time.
Many insights were shared and all the participants did extremely well in being constructive and supportive in giving out evaluations.
The night ended with prize giving session with the crowning of our winners:
Humorous Speech Contest: Mas Rizal
Speech Evaluation Contest: Elizabeth Xavier
