best table topics
Yes! Finally after 3 months of waiting, my sis and I finally handed the cheque to the Toastmasters Club Bukit Batok CC's treasurer and we are officially members!
My sis and I were bent on eliminating our weaknesses in making "bimbotic statements" that shock the interviewers and hence this explains the reasons why we want to join TMC. In TMC, there's 2 categories of speech- the Table Topics and the Prepared Speeches.
Table Topics are impromtu topics, i.e. the volunteer draws a topic and start the speech immediately. In contrast, for Prepared Speeches, there were Project 1 to 10, with Project 1 named "The Ice breaker" and Project 10, the highest level, is named "Inspire Your Audience".
Anyway, my sis and I have so much fun in TMC as the people there are very friendly and encouraging.. It helps that Ken Toh (Ex-CAC Impressario In-charge) was a member too and he bridge us with all the members there..
Today also sparked our maiden speech!! *gasp* My sis and I spontaneously join the Table Topics and we had to give 1 min speech immediately.. Mind you, the topics are quite controversial and not easy.. lol
Wz's topic was "What will you give Dr. Mahathir for V-DAY?".. Mine was "Financial Tips offered by Jeva. (Workers' Party)"
Hmm.. not knowing who Jeva was, I went on telling the audience 3 financial tips (thank god I got some basic knowledge).. haha I said "Don't put all the eggs in one basket", "Health is the greatest wealth" and "Be courageous and make the first step"
I was surprised that I was voted the "Best Table Topic" Yeah!!! So happy :) good achievement and great headstart for my journey in TMC...
