Interview With William Lee on the recent Humorous Speech Contest

Hello fellow Toastmasters,

Our club has just sent a few members to represent Malacca Toastmasters Club to the area level Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contest last Sunday (5 Sept 10) in Merlimau Polytechnic. I managed to have a quick chat with one of the members William about his experience in the Area Level contest.

William is our youngest member in the Malacca Toastmasters family. 2 months old. He's working in a very reputable fast moving consumable goods company (FMCG) in Malacca and a very enthusiastic and determined Toastmaster member. Here's some write up and short interview from one of our club representative, William Lee.

Clarence : Being the newest Malacca Toastmasters member, can you describe what have you learned in Toastmasters Club Humorous Speech Contest in such a short period of time?

William: Being the first time as contestant and representing club in Humorous Contest, I feel nervous and huge responsibilities on my shoulder. The feeling is totally different from the contest among club members because we know each other and I joined the contest for fun. Although I had lost the contest, I enjoyed myself watching other contestant from other club and meeting new friends. I had made a promised to myself to further improve my public speaking skills and be back to the contest near years. My wish from now is to be the top ten contestants in Division Contest. Even if it takes years, I want to complete the wish.

Clarence: Apart from learning public speaking and leadership skills, Toastmasters is also about having fun and getting to know other people right?Can you share some experience together with other club members after the contest ?

William: After the contest finished, I had lunch at Bukit Baru food court with Joshua, Melvin and Eng Suan. We get to know each other better especially my new friend from JB, Eng Suan. We shared lots things regarding Toastmasters and personal life. After so many years ordering Barley “Kosong”, Joshua just realized that his always have 2 straws in his cup because that is one of the ways to differentiate between Barley and Barley “Kosong”. “Kosong” mean no sugar. It more cost effective to put two straws at Barley “Kosong” because majority of customer drink normal Barley.

Clarence: OOh.. i didn't notice about the way to differentiate Barley kosong either. @_@

At night, I think it also my virgin experience for “Buka Puasa” together with my Muslim friends at Zen Café Dataran Pahlawan. I, Melvin, Joshua, Eng Suan were joined Azizah, Adilin and Nadhirah. They waited impatiently for the “Buka Puasa” time. We took lots of pictures of ourselves and the foods. We got 10% discount from the owner of Zen Café (RM 18 savings). Thank you Miss Han for the generosity, we also got free “Air Sirap”. Miss Han is the owner of of Zen Café and Secret Recipes outlet at Melaka Raya, Mahkota Parade, Tesco Peringgit, Tesco Cheng and Jusco Air Keroh. I would like to propose Zen Café and Secret Recipe as our F&B partner so that we can get discount whenever show our Toastmaster Card. If everyone agrees, I will talk to Miss Han, we all love discounts and savings.

Clarence: Laughs* thanks alot William. Another reason to be a Toastmaster member : Some attractive discounts in Zen Cafe . Hope that proposal works.:P Thank you for your time.

Well, thats all the updates for our Malacca Toastmasters Club activity, folks. Stay tuned. ;)

Malacca Toastmasters Club Installation Night @ Seafearers Klebang

Hello dear readers,

Another exciting updates from the Malacca Toastmasters Club. We have just organized the Malacca Toastmasters Club Installation Night at Seafearer's Klebang Beach last Saturday 21- Aug 2010. The theme for the night: Hawaiian Night ;)

The restaurant is facing the Straits of Malacca. It has a very wonderful evening view with the soothing sea breeze.

The installation night went very well. We had many good jokes and table topics for entertainment. The battle between the European and the English seafarers to settle down in the sacred land of Hawaii. A very close and exciting battle I would say.

We had singing Hula guy as well. Oh yes, not to forget the coconut milk and the priest's instrument joke. Only those who attend will know. *grin* Overall, I believe everyone had a really good time.

Thanks to everyone for contributing to the success of the Installation Night.
