This was the 1st time I was holding 2 Appointments in a meeting.
Table Topic Master and Project Speech Evaluation.
The Theme I chose was "Positive Quotes".
I personally found it rather challenging! I was impressed by members! Despite the difficulties of my wrongdoing, they spoke well! Well Done! (My retribution will come! haha....)
Feedback from General Evaluator:
1) The quotes were too long. For Table Topics sector, will be recommend that each topic is not more than 4 words. I totally AGREE! Thank You for the feedback!
Project Speech Evaluation:
Thanx for Coen Tan's tips on evaluation, i feel that I did better this time round. At least not as lost than the first evaluation done 2weeks ago. haha... But to evaluate my speaker (Simon) was pretty tough. He was GOOD! I didnt manage to find any flaws in his speech. His speech was easy to follow and understand. Personal experience sharing made me like to listen to him more. Good opening and closing. With the recommendations I gave, I gave him. I feel so guilty... It was just like purposely find fault on him to penalise him... haha... I only spoke for 2min flat. Too short!
In general, this evening chapter meeting was a power-pact one! Good Speakers & Impressive Evaluators! I need to pull up my socks!!!
Anyway Thank You Virgina for the Dinner! I LOVE it!

First Evaluation Experience
Yesterday marked my first evaluation experience.
My first time had given to Temasek Polytechnic Toastmasters Club, Hali.
Felt ashamed that I didnt manage to give him a good evaluation in the 2-3min evaluation presentation even though I had all the information with me. But I totally have no idea how to organise them, it was kind of a total hay-wired. haha... Oops...
Even though I feel that I didnt express well in that 2-3min, but at least I managed to give him a proper debrief after the meeting. To be frank, I was very impressed with him. I couldnt find much fault in him except found him a little nervous especially between in the middle till the end of the speech. I liked his descriptions. His speech was about his LOVE and PASSION in riding. I could tell he really likes the feeling of riding. He described car and lecture halls as boxes that trapped stale air. I especially liked some of the words he used, "electric massage for my brain", "a system check for my soul", "process of motor-cycling forces me to the environment" and "always engaged to the outside world". Beautiful! I could see you were fantasied and you had also estancised me. Well Done!
Seeing Temasek Polytechnic Toastmasters Club, I was really impressed by the club.
Firstly, the attendance. I saw 30-40 participants. This was a very impressive attendance.
Secondly, the speakers. I feel that they spoke better I do!
Thirdly, they were ALL very enthusatic, passionate and committed about it!
I dont know what to say, I was just simply IMPRESSED by these group of youngsters!
Young, Bold & Furious!
It reminded me when I was in my poly life. I was rather active in activites during school holidays and pretty active in my own project team activites during my academic studying period. Everyday, I was a Happy guy walking around saying "Hi!" & "Morning!" to people, shaking hands with people & hugging people all around the school. haha.... Seriously, I enjoyed that.Even though I had still quite a number of poly friends still in contact, but when we met up. We were still joking and laughing but I felt that something had been missing. I believe the environment played an impt factor and perhaps all of us had grown more matured. haiz... Growing up...
Anyway to our Young Toastmasters:
You did a GREAT job! I had enjoyed the session!
Continue to be Young, Bold & Furious!
Enjoy as much as you can because after this stage of your life, it will be difficult to have this group of friends, feeling and setting. Even though u all will still meet up in the future, but the feeling wont be the same as what u are experincing now!
But please be reminded, your studies is still the priority!
All The Best and Hope to see you soon!

Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club Meeting & EXCO Installation Night - 2nd July 2009
Our Executive Committee 2009-2010 Club Officers' Installation
The President and Members of Tampines Changkat Toastmasters
cordially invites you
to attend the Club Officers' Installation Ceremony
to be held on
Thursday, 2nd July 2009, 7.00 pm to 10.00pm
at the Tampines Changkat Community Club
13, Tampines Street 11, Singapore 529453
We also have an invited speaker, Nick French, ACS, CL, to give us a Special Presentation - "It's Fun to be Funny!"
Do you yearn to be a more entertaining presenter by injecting humour into your speeches? Are you afraid to administer the needle – or perhaps don’t know how to operate the syringe?
Delivering humour is certainly one of the most difficult elements of speech crafting. Find out what it takes to have fun preparing and presenting humour while transforming an ordinary ‘simply static’ speech into one that is ‘stunningly fantastic’. Learn techniques in applying humour and develop a reputation as a confident, competent, and entertaining speaker.
About the Speaker:
Nick French was born and educated in Harare, Zimbabwe
He is qualified with a Master of Science degree in Metallurgy and Material Science and an MBA from the University of Cape Town, South Africa – longer ago than he chooses to remember!
His South African based career has spanned a number of sales and marketing positions in the industrial gas, base and precious metal industries and more recently, petrochemicals. He has extensive sales experience in Europe, South America , the Middle East and of course, the Asia Pacific.
He joined Sasol, a South African Energy company in 1994 and shortly afterwards was transferred to Singapore to establish the regional sales office. He is currently the Asia Pacific regional marketing manager for the chemicals division of Sasol, where his responsibilities require him to work across most Asian cultures.
Nick’s interest in Asian culture and etiquette inspired him to write a book on this subject – Asian Ways , (www.Asian-Ways.com) which was published last year.
He is a past president of the SIM II Toastmasters club and over the last three years has competed in a Division B and District 80 speech contests.
