being forced to write this T_T

On the 17th of February 2009, Nilai UC Toastmasters Club had their first Club Level International Speech and Table-Topics Contests, Area C5, Division C, District 51.

As the Organizing Chairperson of this event, I must said that this was a success!

===========CREDITS===========
We had judges coming from PD Toastmasters Club: Mr. G.T. Singam, ACB/CL, Area C5 Governor. Ms. Rosa Phua, and Mr. Tan Soo Guan.

Contestants for Club Level Table-Topics Contest: Lim Khai Hong, Mohd. Azhar Ahmad, Jeremy Teo and Luke Callistus Rayan.

Contestants for Club Level International Speech Contest: Gregory Sim and Jeremy Teo.

Not forgetting the role-players who helped to contribute to this night. Toastmaster of the Day-Gregory Sim, SAA 1-Amos Tay, SAA 2-Allysa Cho Shu Kei, Timer 1-Cheong Yee Mun, and Timer 2-Pee Nai Yen.

Without the role-players, the event cannot run smoothly, without the contestants, there'll not be a contest anymore, and without the judges, we wouldn't be able to have the best wins. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

==========What happen that night================

At 1915, members and guests came to the R306, the place where the Club Level International Speech and Table-Topics Contests held. We then arranged the tables and chairs to get ready for the big day.

Shortly after that, PD Toastmasters Club Judges arrived. They distributed the forms for contestants to fill in, and the forms for the timers. They also briefed the contestants and role-players about the rules and regulations of today's contest.

At 1940, Gregory as the TOD start off by introduces TM and role-players. After that, the Club Level Table-Topics Contest started. The topic chosen for the TT is 'Trust or Honesty in a relationship?' It is not an easy question to be honest. =D
The first one to go off was Lim Khai Hong, while the other 3 were quaranteen guided by SAA to be ready at next door so they wont overheard the title and prepare on their own beforehand. The next one was Mohd. Azhar Ahmad, following with Jeremy Teo and Luke Callistus Rayan.

When the TT was finished, it is time for Contestants for Club Level International Speech Contest. Since Gregory is participating in this contest, the chairman for this IS is replaced by Amos. And so, Gregory Sim started his speech and followed by Jeremy Teo.

After the tensed moment for the contest, we had 5 minutes break. Then Gregory Sim had some Q&A session with the contestants and the guests who attended the night.

Here comes the most important and most awaited moment of the night, the result for both International Speech and Table-Topics Contests!

*Drum rolls* da-tum, da-tum, da-tum...
And who is the winner? First runner-up for Table-Topics Contests is Lim Khai Hong. Champion for Table-Topics Contests is Jeremy Teo!
As for the International Speech was won by Jeremy Teo as well!
