Evaluation Speech Contest and Installation Night

It was an interesting day where 6 Toastmasters from different background come together to pit against one another in a showdown of evaluating styles and skills. Each one of them bringing different content, different punctuation and different atmosphere into the arena.

The 6 funny Toastmasters are :-
1. Shirley Cheok (The Crapper)
2. Ong Hoong Tat (The Serious)
3. Ng Kim Choo (The Scholarly)
4. Mary Sai (The Gentle)
5. Eu Inn Hoon (The Motherly)
6. Andrew Ng (Deh' Joker)

Each and everyone of them did their best and gave very insightful details of how the speaker could further improve her 'already good' speech (that's in my personal opinion lah).

Speaker Ms. Goh (Speech Title: My Struggle) with an appreciation gift from Eu Inn Hoon CC

However, like every contest there will be some who did slightly better than others (gives them more pressure) and some who will walk away with new experiences (more room to shock people with improvement).

Hence the winners of the contest were as follows

2nd Runner Up: Mary Sai TM
1st Runner Up: Ong Hoong Tat TM
1st Place: Shirley Cheok CC



Well done to all the participants! Each and everyone of you have done a fantastic job. Even I, myself have learned a lot from each and everyone of you as each of you highlight different aspects of the speech that I never thought of and from each of your evaluation I am able to get to know you slightly better. Thank you everybody. And yes, I'll be representating our Klang Bilingual Toastmaster's Club in the district competition. I honestly hope that I will be able to do our club proud. Thanks again everybody for giving me this opportunity to try out in the bigger arena!

Thanks!
