Breakthrough - Siva came in 2nd Runner Up!

Congratulations to Sivanathan, our sole representative, who came in 2nd runner up (International Speech) in the recently concluded Area B4 International Speech and Table Topics Contest held on Sat 29/3/08 at Joo Chiat C C. For the record, this is a break through for ITE Toastmasters Club as we were not placed among the top three for Area International Speech contest before. The details:

Area B4 International Speech Contest 2008 - We came in 3rd (Out of 5 participants). The top 2 were from SIM, spoke very well & high on content.

Area B4 Table Topics Contest 2008 - Unplaced
The title was "Reach for the Stars". The top 2 were from SIM too, different representatives from International Speech contest.

Here's a few words from our achiever Siva.
"I am very happy to walk away with a trophy for my very first time participating in TM contest. Stressed about a week trying to edit a past basic project speech to meet contest guidelines. Thanks to Lye Sum for spending his precious time giving me tips. Rehearsed my speech like never before so that I will not embarrass my Club. It was a good learning experience. Didn't realise venue was like a Theatrette...so many people...& steep too...have to stretch the neck. Some thanked me for giving the speech as they thought it was entertaining....sure or not?.... me entertaining? Overall, I think other Club members should aspire to participate in TM contests."
