Toastmaster Meeting - 050209

Today, I was the Table Topics Master.
Didnt manage to find out why I was so nervous. Nervous to an extend where I started shivering while going to attend the meeting!

Kind of disappointed with myself, bei kao zai! haha...

Some mistakes that I realised:
1) Forgot to lead the applause
2) Shivering
3) Lost of words, unable to continue & dont know how to carry on to the next portion of the program
4) Forgot to greet the President & Audience
5) Almost left out the timing sequence. (Had to thank Susan for reminding me.)
6) Not well-prepared
7) Tongue still stick-out
8) Topics on Paper; Paper on my hands. (Could think of a better alternative to present my Topics, have to be more aware how other people managed this)
9) Distraction: -> back faced audience
-> Canceling movement of the white board (Need to think of something to make better)

Ah Counting:
- 2 ers
- 1 repetition
- 1 then


Word of the Day: Decision


What I learnt:
1) We are always not READY. Maybe thats why the GREATEST enemy is ourselves.
2) 1 coincidence to many
3) Learning is Growing
4) Readiness is the Best Protection.
5) Work too hard, see too little
6) Pet Shop Owner = a person that owns the Pet Shop
7) See an imperfect person perfectly
8) When giving assurance speech - speaks slowly
- heavier tone
9) "I am privileged to be here."
10) 'Flour' is pronounced as 'Flower'.
11) When we are saying the 'V' words, we should feel vibration at our throat & ears. (I cannot pronounce 'V' & 'R'! properly'. haha...)
