Division B Humorous Speech and Speech Evaluation Contest!

Taman Indrahana sent two fantastic speakers out for the Division B contest held on the 24 of September 2011 at Taylor's University Lakeside Campus. Our funny guy, Han Lee Hwee was competing in the Humorous Speech Contest while Ng Jean Hui was competing in what she does best, the Evaluation Speech Contest.
The evaluation contest started out first. Kenneth Yee as the test speaker gave his speech titled "When I realised... " In his speech, he talked about the Pain and Pleasure that every human will face in their lives and how these two factors affect each one of them in making decisions. Jean was up against many senior toastmasters such as Ng Sok Teng from Crystal Toastmasters Club, Sarimah Morshidi, Dennis Wee and Nor Lida Dahalan. Jean was cool and calm when it was her turn to evaluate Kenneth. She spoke with clarity and gave strong point regarding his strengths and areas of improvement. Loud applause was given to her as she was done. 

Next came the Humorous Speech contest. The contestants were Chong Mei Wen, Han Lee Hwee, Dennis Wee, Johnson Yike and lastly Sarimah Morshidi. All of them tickled our funny bone with hilarious speeches that includes events that occur with the family, work bosses and their experiences in being a toastmaster.

Stephen Fernando was in the house to give us a short 15 minutes talk on tips in presenting a humorous speech. A past district champion came in a gave us a few good laughs during his presentation. As a natural funny guy, he made learning so easy and fun. I m sure all the participants there were amazed on his delivery and definitely had something to bring home at the end of the day.

Results for the Evaluation Contest:
Champion: Dennis Wee (D'Utama Advanced)
1st Runner Up: Ng Sok Teng (Crystal)
2nd Runner Up: Ng Jean Hui (Taman Indrahana)

For the Humorous Speech Contest:
Champion: Dennis Wee (D'Utama Advanced)
1st Runner Up: Johnson Yike (Pheonix)
2nd Runner Up: Sarimah Morshidi

Overall, a great saturday and congratulate Jean for being the 2nd Runner Up, and her bravery to step up to the challenge. And Han, although he wasnt placed, but all the effort and time used for the preparation deserves recognition. Well done both of you! The club is proud for having young and experienced toastmasters in the club as we move forward in being a better club.

Ice Breaker Speech: Myself by Ang Poon Kenn

Good evening everyone, my name is Ang Poon Kenn, everyone calls me Ken. Today, the title of my speech is about Myself.

My grandmother take over my mother's role, she does all the housework for us. She takes care of us. My relative, they are not rich but they sponsor me for my education and pocket money. However, even though I have the love from my grandmother and relatives, I felt that I'm different from others. They have parents accompany them during
