Champions of Humorous & Evaluation Speech are crowned!
The moment the contest started, I
had a feeling that it was going to be extraordinary. It wasn’t just the enthusiastic
speakers or the passionate audiences, it was the atmosphere in the room that
gave me this feeling. There was such a big crowd that we did not even have
enough chairs for all of them!
The contest began with the Humorous
Speech segment. Each and every contestant was given 5 to 7 minutes to deliver a
prepared speech while trying their best to crack up the audiences. The
contestants were: Hareesh, Prasad, Rasu, Riz, Roger, Thomas, Chee Sian and Zulhafni. As they performed their
amusing speeches one by one, we all laughed till our stomachs hurt.
After the refreshment break, the
Evaluation Speech segment began. We had the honour of having William, President of Vietnam TMC,
deliver a speech as a test speaker. He recounted the best birthday experience
he had to date, and even left us something to ponder over:
“The two most
important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out
why.”
- Mark Twain
It was then the evaluators’ turn to
shine. The contestants were: Hareesh,
Rachel, Rasu, Roger, Thomas, Chee Sian, Zulhafni.
They excellently pointed out good points in William’s speech as well as areas of improvement using their own
unique ways.
Before we knew it, the contest came
to a close with the presentation of tokens of appreciation to all contestants,
appointment holders and judges. Finally, the moment was here. The announcement
of contest results!
