Laughter is the best Medicine
Laugh as much as you breathe and live as long as you live
It may be easy to give a speech to inspire, or motivate. But it ain’t easy for someone to give a speech, tell a story and make you laugh.
Last night, 3 of our members brave their confidence and took part in the Club Level Humorous Speech Contest. They were:
Gregory Sim, CC
Bend but Don’t Break It
Jeremy Teo, TM
Secrets to a Happy Marriage
Lim Khai Hong, Burger, TM
Eh, What you talking?
The contest took up approximately an hour and a half and contestants were judge accordingly by the PD toastmasters, Robert Tan, DTM; Area Governor, GT Singam and Ms Rosa Pua.
They were evaluated by their skills in Speech Development, Effectiveness, Speech Value, Audience Response, Physical, Voice, Manner, Appropriateness and Correctness.
Gregory stunned the crowd with his impromptuness of joining last minute and entertain us with his story on the journey up to Mount KK which he then decided that Life is soo much more than climbing the highest mountain, and we should always appreciate everything that we have at this moment. We should definitely learn how he lost weight though.
Jeremy as always with his already there sarcasm blessed us all unmarried people with the Secret To a Happy Marriage. Now, it left us wondering for awhile, how could he possibly know when he is not married anyway? Sources were then revealed that he might just be.*hint hint* Anyway, the whole drama were revealed there after, and the only secret were to LIE when you have to, especially on women’s weight. Eheh.
Burger, our full-time comedian came to the center of attraction with his speech title: Eh, What You Talking? which sounded soo Singaporean. The speech went on on the effectiveness of Miscommunication and how human misinterpret every single thing everytime there’s a loop hole in the speech to. A phrase mentioned to the wife who wants a Ferrari by the husband: Yea. It can reach 120 in 5 seconds. It is that fast! A moment, I really thought he was that generous until…The next day, where the wife found a Bathroom Scale in the bathroom. And the happily ever after on every story faded away just like that.
To have the courage to entertain and humor others is a tough job. Which is why most of us chose to be the sidelines.
Congratulations to Jeremy who won the competition. He’ll then proceed to represent NUC Toastmasters Club in the Area Level Humor Speech Contest on the 28th September at PD. 1st Runner Up goes to Burger Lim.
Congratulations, once again.
Learn to speak, Learn to Lead, and Learn to Succeed.
