My first Toastmasters speech

Holaaa~ Finally I have time to blog lur =D I've done my very 1st Toastmasters speech during last Friday. Gimme a clap please! Hehe!

I was thinking wtf I want to talk about for my 1st speech. One day, when I was bathing and an idea was suddenly pop up in my mind! It's one of the old post that I blogged before. But I rearranged and edited it.

This is my speech and the title is "S For Everything" =)

Attention Getter

“A, B, C , D, E ,F G…….”  (singing)

I think everybody has their favourite alphabet. What’s your favourite letter? My most favorite alphabet is not the ‘A’ but it’s ‘S’!

Good evening fellow toastmasters! Today I am going to tell you why ‘S’ is so important in my life.

Body 1

          The very first S is stand for San. Not The Sun! It’s me myself. ‘S-A-N’ SAN! I believe the person who loves you the most is yourself. Don’t you agree? So the person who loves me the most is of course none other than me. This is also the permanent excuse for me to sho………………..pping.

          My hobby is related with S too! S stands for shopping and swimming. Let’s go for the “S” if you have the same hobbies with me.

         No matter how many hobbies I have, I still love to go back to have a rest in a place called Sungai Siput.

Body 2

         Sungai Siput is made up of two S’s. I was born in Ipoh, but living in Sungai Siput. It’s a small town in Perak. Yes! I’m a typical kampung girl. There is a mountain in my hometown, called Lion Mount, because the shape is looks like a lion. I love it because I’m a Leo.

The next S is stand for Samsung. It’s my parent’s business. Their 25 years old shop is call Sungai Siput Enterprise. I wish their business is full of vitality. There are two members with S in my family too. My brother, Simon and my sister, Sin (Wei Sin). This Sungai Siput leads me to have another S in my life!

Body 3

         Can you guys guess what is the next “S”? It’s related with you all too!

        Yup! It’s stand for Sabah! Sabah is like my second hometown now. I love this place so much. Island and mountain are all around in Sabah. Of course, I don’t regret to choose UMS as my university and I wish I can always come back to Sabah after graduate.

Body 4

         Another two important people with ‘S’ plays a very important role in my life.

“S” is stand for Sam. Sam is my boyfriend of 5 years! Actually I used to call him Sum. Sum is his Chinese name. It’s also S! I know our love will become stronger since distance makes the heart grow fonder. Who knows he will be my future husband soon.

The next important person with ‘S’ is my best friend, Shain. I know her since we were in the Form 1. Time flies! It’s about 10 years friendship. I wish our friendship can last forever! I’ll see her soon because she’s coming to Sabah during this coming mid-term break.

Oh! How I wish these two important people could be here to show my joy!

Conclusion

         The “Letter” S is so important in my life.  San represents my identity. I live in two places with ‘S’ called Sungai Siput and Sabah. Also, the four important people in my life are Simon, Sin, Sam and Shain.

         So next time when you are singing  A,B,C, stop when you come to the "S" and think of me, San or Wei San!

Back to you.

(END)

I need to speak 4-6 mins. Thanks God! I done my speech in 5.05 mins =) My evaluator, Lay Chin said my speech overall is good and she was enjoy my speech. BUT I need to do these 3 things.

1. Look left and right.

    I was too nervous and my eyes only focus on the centre -.-

2. Move far a bit.

   I was moving from left to right and back to left while I was changing my "S". But Lay Chin said is not enough far, have to move far a bit next time.

3. Don't apologize. 

   I was mentioned a word wrongly and I said sorry. BUT now I only know we can't apologize while giving speech because the audiences don't know our contents. If the speaker say sorry, then they will know there are mistake during the speech.

Hopefully I can improve during my second speech =)

Show you guys the photos taken on that day =) Luckily I still can smile while giving speech, but honestly my legs were shaking. The one of the purpose I join Toastmaster is to train myself not to shaking during giving speech. 

Thank you fellow toastmasters enjoy my speech =)

Thanks for your coming Yuen Shan! Let's join us and improve together! =)

I know Toastmaster from my ex roomate, Jocelyn. Thank you babe for helping me to edit my speech =)

Before the meeting end, I got my reward from the vice president of University Toastmasters (UTC) and also the invocator of the day, Kyle. The cute girl between us, Lay Chin is the president of UTC and also my evaluator for my 1st speech.

After I take my reward, Lay Chin said: now I only see your shirt is also S! Haha! Lay Chin, I forgot to take picture with you =(

This is the reward. It's actually a small piece of paper. BUT it's meaningful for me! I want to get more and more in the future! Add oil CWS!!!!!

Thank you the people who are always supporting me and also the people who are look down on me!
