zzzz...
Yeah.. i was happy, yet i have a very important mission.
The Contest was broken into 2 pieces.. erm i mean 2 sessions.
The first session is the humorous speech contest. The humorous contest consisted of 6 contestants, Mariana Pascal, Ahmad Yusof, Andrew Tan, Ariff, J.Kannan and TM Kumar.
I would say it's Deja Vu .This genre of the speech presented by each speaker in order of this contest with area A1 contest was entirely the same. It's scary.
In my Area A1 Humorous speech contest, the first speaker was a foreigner, Stefan Becker.
In this contest, the first speaker was Marinna Pascal, a Canadian.
Fair. Chances of them getting first slot is slim.
Since both are foreigners who have either gotten PR or Work Permit in Malaysia, it does make sense for them to talk something about Malaysia culture.
Stefan spoken about Malaysia way of life, and Marinna spoken about Manglish. Indirectly, they are talking about our culture.
Fair again, however it get really scary after this.
The rest of the speakers talked about relationship either between man and woman, or individual gender.
2 contest, 2 almost different set of speakers, but entirely same genre of topics.
WOW !
Malaysia, Relationship, Relationship, Relationship, Relationship, Relationship, Relationship....
Anyway, here are the winners:
CONGRATULATIONS!
Now the second session is the speech evaluation contest. In this session, a test speaker will give a speech. The contestants will give an evaluation to this speaker.
They are 7 contestants in this category.
Getting 7 different evaluations from 7 different evaluators is scary.
The contest started off with the test speaker giving a speech.
The test speaker is:
I don't really remember her name. --'
Anyway the evaluators are Guat Mui, TM Kumar, J. Kannan, Ariff, Tey Bin Yuen, Marinna Pascal, and ... and.. (i don't know her name) ..--'
Anyway.. here are the winners:
Next stop , Genting Convention !
