September 29, 2012: Timothy is our Division W Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contest!




Winners of Division W Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contest 2012
 
Distinguished  Members & Guests, 

It is my honour and privilege to share my joy with you that Timothy Nakayama has won BOTH awards in Division W’s Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contest held in University Malaya on September 29, 2012. As a result, Timothy will proceed to the District 51 Contest which will be held on 17th November, 2012 in Holiday Villa Hotel & Suites, Subang, Malaysia.




Contest Day Highlights:

It was a day with high hopes and expectations for Timothy and FTMC. After spending a night relaxing and meditation in Midvalley’s Cititel Hotel, Timothy and I drove to University Malaya to get ready for the showdown. 

The faithful and die-hard fans of Timothy and Friendship Club; President Alexandra Lau, Grace Tan, Nancy Soo, our long-time-no-see Susan Lim and your truly were present to encourage and give support to Timothy. 

It was a tough battle in the humorous speech contest; all contestants were highly entertaining and caused the audience bursting into laughter. Fortunately for our club, Timothy’s speech was not only humorous but also contains a valuable message for everyone who is present, thus, bagging us our first gold of the competition.

The evaluation contest resumed shortly after a break and started off with an inspiring speech given by the test speaker. The evaluation contest was tight with no clear cut winners as the contestants were well-trained and polished in delivering their evaluation to the test speaker. 

Timothy was the fourth evaluator out of five contestants, and he struck gold when he demonstrated how being outrage can help to increase the emotional intensity and impact to the audience. Perhaps,  it was outrages that differentiates Timothy from the contestants, thus, earning us our second gold in the evaluation contest.
