KPMG KL on Wed 20 July 2011
Four diverse topics were covered by our four humorous contestants. Michelle recalled attending the 9 July rally in her pristine white skirt. Suresh related a “Cultural Collision” story that a gentlemanly act of peeling a banana for a Russian lady may not be as innocent as it seems. Joo Lee recommended to all ladies that we should think like a man but to act like a lady. Amanda had us laughing with her tips and techniques on how to avoid and annoy telemarketers.

KPMG KL on Wed 27 July 2011
The Evaluation Contest started off with test speaker Amanda sharing with us tips on how to avoid telemarketers. Apart from playing pranks on annoying telemarketers, she recommended confusing them by using a foreign accent. When they ask how are you today, she recommended telling them the truth!

While waiting for Chief Judge Kimmy and her ballot-counters to tabulate the results, we were treated to a hilarious contestant interview session conducted by Contest Chair Shirley. Proving that Toastmasters are not only trained to speak off the cuff, our contestants proved that they are able to speak humourously as well.

Friendship on Tue 2 Aug 2011
The four contest speeches were on various topics about speaking up, facing fears in your life, getting rid of an unwanted housemate and continuous change. James was able to impress a damsel in distress when he spoke up. Angeline faced her fears of heights and leadership roles while Sylvia successfully got rid of her housemate and gained a fiancé at the same time. Sivadas told us about the continuous change in Malaysia.
Humorous Speech Contest
First place – Angeline Lee
Second place – James Arokiasamy
With five Friendship contestants Tony, Chee Hoe, Ben, Freddie and Angeline evaluating Zoe Lo, she certainly had lots of free evaluation! Her evaluators particularly liked her inspiring take-home message to appreciate what we have instead of focusing on what has gone wrong. She reminded us that we have many things to be grateful about, even if we have a bad haircut.

Exact ADC on Tue 9 Aug 2011
With tales of scamming thru SMS contests, trying to impress girls with his physique and creative use for a car spoiler, it was an evening of fun and laughter at Exact ADC. Not only that, it was a feast fit for a king as we enjoyed a delicious buffet dinner spread.
Humorous Speech Contest
First place – Teo Soo Loon
Second place – Brenda Loo
Proving that he has brains as well as brawn, Soo Loon delivered a concise, structured and motivating evaluation. Despite his disappointment after being scammed in an SMS contest, Andrew gave a thorough evaluation for test speaker Zoe Lo. With her detailed knowledge of men’s obsession with gadgets and car spoilers, Brenda cautioned Zoe that using props in a speech can be tricky as it can work against you.
