Toastmaster Meeting 23/01/2006

Just attended Toastmaster meeting last nite.

Y.N talked about "buying a house". Notice Y.N. is more confident now when delivering her speech. Her strength is she got a friendly smile and nice voice. I believe she can become a good speaker. But she tend to put too much on her speech, speak too fast and memorise her speech. She should just maintain 3 points, slow down a bit and try to be passion in her speech. She also should put some stories in her speech, like describing how she should stay near her parent house so she can get free meal :) (Late come home, lazy prepare dinner, catch up with Astro TV programs, etc.)
She talk about budgeting also. She can use another item to represent the value of the house, for example: "I need the money of equivalent to buy 6 kancils, that's about $200K to buy a house."
Look forward to her next one.

J did a very dangerous but bold speech. He try to get feedback from the audience, by asking us "Do we believe in God". Bold because his 2nd speech in a foreign club. Dangerous because he may get audience who may like to heckle (try to annoy or embarrass) him, especailly he's talking about sensitive issue about God!
