Theme: Habit
Word of the day: Value
As the dust of CNY break settles down, it’s time to get serious with the usual speaking business in UMTMC.
Being fresh from the one-month long break, there was nothing fancy. The theme – “Habits” was simple enough to reveal the manifold details of one’s life and character. Credits to TM Shafinas.
After a brief round of introduction, it was time for Table Topics. TM Pei San reminded everyone that one’s bad habit’s might be due to inheritance. The take-home message? You don’t have to take all the blame!
While being asked what were the 3 things she would need
while being chased by the blood-craving zombie, ACS, CL Jing Yi took the audience by
surprise. Apparently, being a marathon runner herself, a pair of good running
shoes was enough. What a clever forfeiture. Having too many choices might not
be good sometimes.
Next, it was CC, CL Ing Ting who attempted the topic given with
motivational and inspirational words.
Perhaps the most thought-provoking question was one
attempted by CC Yik Ming. If you were to choose between gift and reward, what
would it be? Think.
For Project Speech Session, CC, CL Jing Xian took up the challenge
by attempting the project Speak Off the Cuff. This is no joke. The speaker is required to provide
the evaluator with 5 possible topics. The evaluator will then select one at
random. In the end, Jing Xian gave all of us a lecture about women rights in
Malaysia and its potential room for improvement. Next, CC Fatimah presented an old
tale which came with ancient intelligence and time-enduring values.
Last but not least, it is an honour to witness ACB Suthaharan leading the panel
of evaluation and offerring tips and advice for the improvement of the meetings.
Perhaps the user-friendly, affordable platform for you to make public speaking a habit is Toastmaster, particularly UMTMC who passionately advocates “the stage is always yours if you want it”.
