President’s Message

History has been created on the 4th of February. We had our

very first International Speech and Table Topics Contest at

TAR College itself! It was definitely another milestone for us

‘new’ club in town. It was yet another successful event run

by the Executive-Committee team and our dear advisor. Big

thanks to our members too who were eager taking up

challenges to participate and to test out what they had

already learned in Toastmasters at the contest platform. We

had a total of 5 members for both International Speech and

Table Topics contest. The turnout was great and the

organization was awesome!

Our record doesn’t stop there as we had two representative

namely Michele for International speech and Vincent for

Table Topics to represent TARC Toastmasters Club and they

have made it thus far in the Area W2 Level. It was the first

contest that our club has participated. Congratulations to

both of them.

March has sunk in and it’s the month of contest, contest and

contest for both International Speech and Table Topics all

around Malaysia. Are you one of them participating or one

of them who are helping in various roles?

As for me, these few months will be the month of

contributing by helping. In Toastmasters, it is not only about

you giving speeches but it is also a place to contribute and

play leaderships roles. Besides, you get to learn and observe

the more proficient speakers and you will be able to learn a

bit or two from them.

Want to be in the most successful, active and the ONLY

International club in college?

Soar with us and this will be the last thing you will regret in

your life as TARC Toastmasters is a great place to be as this is

a family where Toastmasters Are Really Cool!

Speech Contests Check out our periodic updates on our Wordpress blog and Facebook!

Club Level – @ TAR College

The anxiety mounted and as the day drew close,

TARC Toastmasters had its inaugural International

Speech and Table Topics contest on the 4th of

February 2012 (Saturday). The pride of the club was

being showcased, The organizing team – its

chairman and the committee members – were

concerned about the contest attendance since

there were two continuous public holidays after the

weekend leading towards the contest.

However, they were pleasantly surprised by the more

than 30 people who showed up. The turnout and

support was amazing but even more amazing were

the speakers who were the shining glory of the club.

It was a delight to witness five “polished diamonds”

shining during the international speech contest. The

first speaker, Vincent Chow the club’s Vice President

of Education and one of the backbones of the club,

gave his speech with his title “Snake in the House”.

His vivid description of the scary snake of two men’s

height brought shivers down my spine. Like him, I too

have this phobia for amphibians. It is apparent that

his mom became the ‘hero’ of Vincent.

Daryl a former CIMA Global Challenge first runner up

winner, and a participant in the club’s recent Tall

Tale Contest, shared his experiences of “Making the

Best out Of Choices”. His conviction on the evils of

procrastination and its negative impact made me

think twice before I procrastinate finishing this article.

Watching Jonathan deliver his “If Not Now When?”

made my heart swell with pride. Those who had

witnessed his first ice breaker speech, with his many

speech crutches (use of “aah”, “uhm”, “err”, etc),

was glad to see how he took the bull by its horns and

secured a third place “biting nails and bolts” (if there

were such an expression!) with other contestants.

Michele’s “Life Is Short” was immaculately delivered

with a simile of the piano’s key board that stuck in

my mind for the rest of my life. She reminded me to

smell more roses and have a balanced life, which I

seemed to miss since I started work. One thing is for

sure. I shall need to remember to take life easier.

Change is necessary. If one does not change, it will

change you! Cliché or triad? Whatever your answer

be, Yoong Wai tells us that change is imperative and

compulsory in our life. His speech got him a second

place. He was one of the winning team members for

the CIMA Global Challenge together with Daryl.

The Table Topics Contest was conducted with the

impromptu but funny title: “English Or Manglish, You

Is Where?”. This contest was won by Vincent with his

message that it does not matter what language is

being used, it’s about communicating in an

understandable way. Michele and Kevin were first

and second runner up respectively. All three winners

agreed that English is the way forward and Manglish

should not be encouraged though having them may

somewhat make us Malaysian! (hmm it is indeed

paradoxical).

So if you have missed our meetings and contests, do

not fear for we welcome all who are not only brave

but eager to learn and believe in their inner strength.

Bring out your talent through Toastmasters. The

pathway to your life success and you will enjoy the

new found meaning of ‘clubbing’!

Speech Contests For more details on our meetings and pictures, access our Facebook!

Area W2 – @Great Eastern Mall The Area W2 International Speech & Table Topics

Contest kicked off to a great start, with the

contestants from their respective Club-level contests.

In Area W2, there are five clubs: namely, Speakers’

Dream Toastmasters, TARC Toastmasters club, Great

Eastern Toastmasters, HP Malaysia Toastmasters club

and Pernac Toastmasters club. This also marked the

first time TAR College Toastmasters club participated

in the contest.

The contest was held at the Great Eastern Office

Block, 6th floor, from 1.00pm onwards on 11 February,

Saturday. At the same time, Great Eastern had

organized a Chinese New Year annual dinner for

their staff and managers next door. The sound of

gong, laughter and CNY disco music clouded the

somewhat quiet atmosphere of the contest. All the

while the audience were putting in their fullest

attention to listen to the speeches by the

contestants.

Even the CEO of Great Eastern, Dato Koh Yaw Hui

dropped by. Dato Koh’s handsome batik shirt made

him the most eye-catching person among the

otherwise plain-looking and coat-hugging audience.

As the trophies were right on the stage, it must be

hard for the contestants not to resist doing their best,

giving their best in the contests. The International

Speech contestants were as follows:-

International Speech Contest

1. ACS Lawrence Hoo (Speakers’ Dream)

2. TM Jeremy Phang (Speakers’ Dream)

3. TM Lee Yoong Wai (TAR College)

4. TM Michele Chang (TAR College)

5. TM Helen Too (Great Eastern)

6. TM Tan Yong Hao (Great Eastern)

The Table Topics Contest was next. It was a tight

competition between the contestants who spoke on

a very long impromptu topic that somehow sounded

convoluted, confusing and tongue-twisting but still

captured the essence of any table topic – Interpret it

in your own meaning and make it simpler using your

own personal thoughts and experience. The

message, if summarized, would be simply titled ‘Why

Worry?’ The Table Topics contestants were as

follows:-

Table Topics Contestants

1. CC Mark Lee (Speakers’ Dream)

2. TM Michele Chang (TAR College)

3. ACB, CL Vincent Chow (TAR College)

4. TM Jeremy Phang (Speakers’ Dream)

5. TM Jin Peng (Great Eastern)

6. TM Khoo Ai Vee (Great Eastern)

As soon as the contest excitement sizzled out, drum

rolls rocked the hall as the results of the winners were

finally announced.

The champions of both contests will represent Area

W2 in the Division W-level at Goldhill Club, Kepong.

As Great Eastern motto roars – “Life is Great!”

Division W – @Goldhill Club, Kepong

This is indeed a day of break-though,

not only old records were broken, new

trophy was broken too!! (Seriously)...

Div W Governor, Marian Lee, ACG ALB

It was hot and sweaty on this Saturday afternoon,

but no heat would tempt the Division W International

Speech and Table Topics contestants to strip off their

smart coats and ties, as they spiked up the heat

competing for an opportunity to represent Division W

in the upcoming District 51 contest.

If that wasn’t hot enough, our Area W5 Governor,

John Cheah, ACG CL outshined in his bright yellow

‘Chinese samfu’. Kungfu master in the house!

Division W contest took place at Goldhill Club,

Kepong from 1.00pm onwards on 17 March 2012,

Saturday. I was very fortunate because the contest

actually took place just next to my house, and I was

eager to listen to quality speeches by contestants

from Speakers’ Dream Toastmasters, MAICSA

Toastmasters, HSBC Toastmasters, Sai Masters

Toastmasters, and TTDI Toastmasters.

I was impressed with speakers like E Son Lee, who

took life lessons out of the man without arms and

legs, Nick Vujicic and laughed out loud with

Lawrence Hoo’s rendition of the End of the World

2012. Teo Soo Loon’s speech to ‘Smell the Roses’

taught us to appreciate living our life in its present

moment, but it was Dominic Teoh who was the last

speaker, actually combined all the contestants’

speech materials to make up his final interpretation

on the “Meaning of Death”.

One speaker that actually caught my eye was Lee

Han Sen from TTDI-TMC, who has grown so much out

of the close mentorship he received from his club

members. Vincent Hor actually told him last year,

that he was confident he would win this year’s

contest. And so it happened, he indeed won 1st

place in the International Speech Contest with his

speech “Not Good Enough”.

Table Topics soon followed after the good chicken

curry lunch, and the following speakers: Lee Xi Wen,

Guok Lee Lee, Dharma, E Son Lee and Mark Lee

were surely unprepared to speak impromptu!

The topic that came up was “No Choice or Many

Choices?” No topic was tough as all Table Topic

contestants breezed their way to get their message

across as they decide which is better – having no

choice or many choices. However, it was Mark Lee

who came up with the best example: He tackled

both sides of the topic, and he was the only one who

did that compared to all the contestants.

That it was good not to have a choice, and it is also

good to have many choices (albeit being single is

also a choice), but he arrived at concluding that it’s

making the best choice that matters the most.

Finally, the contest ended on a good note with no

time disqualifications, and everyone was happy with

the results that followed:

Member Spotlight For more details on our meetings and pictures, access our Facebook!

Bong Yang Bong Yang recently won as a Champion in the Asia

Cambridge English Speaking Competition, National

Level, held in TAR College on Tuesday, 17 April 2012

at College Hall. TARC Toastmasters is happy to have

the privilege to interview our ex-Toastmaster member

to share his opinion about the contest and his other

inspirations too:

1. Congratulations on winning the contest! Can you

briefly describe your participation in the contest?

All this happened by real funny coincidence. I was

just walking by college like any other day when Ms.

Val, my ex-English teacher grabbed me and asked

whether I was interested in joining and English Test

called FCE by Cambridge. It was sponsored by

college so I thought why not. The test was a full day

evaluation with speaking test, writing test, listening

test, grammar test and etc. I was glad to have

actually finished the tests given the long straining

hours. Eventually, I scored among the 7 highest in the

nationwide FCE test and was entitled the opportunity

to further joined the public speaking competition to

compete with the other 6 high scorers.

2. In your opinion, how were you different from the

other brilliant contestants that helped you win the

competition?

I think all of the contestants did very well and

brought different perspective and content to the

table. Personally I think God was the One that really

helped me in winning the competition. I had no prior

experience in public speaking competitions and to

make things worse, I started preparing for the slides

and the presentation just few days before (not a

good example). Despite that, I told God I really want

to win this. Throughout the whole process of

preparing, rehearsing, presenting and eventually

winning, I really felt that supernatural peace and

guidance that words could not explain. I guess the

biggest difference is that I depended on God to win

instead of by myself.

3. What's up for the next stage of the competition

after this?

I will be flying to Cambridge in July (screams!) to

participate in the Cambridge International Public

Speaking Competition competing with contestants

from all around the world. Really excited about that.

4. Do you have any speaking experience prior to the

contest?

Like I said, I had no prior experience in public

speaking competitions so I got most of my input from

Church, which little are aware that there are

actually many great "speakers" or preachers that

invariably sweeps you off your feet with life-changing

and inspiring messages. Of course, I was once a

"Toasty" and it helped me in my speaking quite a lot

specially in the technicalities of time management

and the boldness to speak impromptu.

12

5. What is the area of speech that you find hardest to

improve on?

The hardest area I find in public speaking is to keep

the tenacity of engaging the audience. People

have limited attention span and hence I would need

to learn to engaged them and draw out my points

effectively before they start shutting down.

6. Who is your biggest inspiration?

I don't have a particular person in mind but

my inspiration to speak come from preachers in

churches whom often received zero speaking lessons

but never fail to deliver dramatic, touching and real

inspiring "speeches". The most amazing thing about

preachers is that, their wondrous "speeches" did not

come as a result of hardcore planning and

rehearsing but from a natural sincere heart of

sharing. That never failed to amaze and inspire me.

7. Any further plans for the coming months ahead?

As I would only be furthering my studies in January

next year in the UK, I plan to work in TAR College as I

was given the opportunity to do what I like and be

where I love. I was actually offered a job to take

photographs and write articles about the college. To

do what you like and be paid for it, that's just

awesome.

8. Lastly, any lessons you would like to share with our

Toastmasters' members?

Firstly, always have fun! I understand the judges are

scrutinizing every move and syllable you make, the

timer is counting every second you take, and the

"Ah" counter is numbering down any possible "ah's"

and "uhm's" you slipped; but sometimes being

perfect is not the goal, the goal is to enjoy what

you're doing and have great fun out of it! Secondly,

as the motto of the country where most inspiring

speakers come from, I hold this motto dearly if not

more than an average United States citizen, "In God

We Trust"!

London Bridge, Here I come! Bong Yang will be representing Malaysia to participate in the Cambridge International Public Speaking Competition on July 2012.

The Need for Speed:

Bong Yang on his attempt at a ‘Prepared Table Topic’ Contest. It’s different from a normal Toastmasters contest because all contestants can see the topic.

Defining Myself:

Bong Yang with his Icebreaker speech on

26 March 2011 (wow that’s old!)

He speaks with full of wisdom, clarity and

maturity.

Intimidated to Volunteer as General Evaluator?

Fear No More, as this Formula Works Be observant and be able to express your

opinion extemporaneously. Sounds like

impromptu speech? Indeed...”

Some feel intimidated when told to become a

general evaluator, but contrary to your belief it is

easier than you thought and your fear is only your

own imagination. Most clubs do have a guide where

a list of questions shall be posted for you to answer.

However, some may not have them and this means

a chance for you to share your brilliant ideas, only if

you have done enough of general evaluating roles.

So what are the qualities and roles of a general

evaluator? To become a general evaluator you are

required to be observant and be able to express

your opinion extemporaneously. Sounds like

impromptu speech? Indeed, it is because there is no

pre-prepared speech when you express that opinion

of yours. Some of the rule of thumb that I coined with

includes (which is not exhaustive and it is only the

writer’s opinion):

Prior to the meeting:

1. Get to know the club prior to accepting the role;

remember to ask if they have pre-prepared forms for

general evaluator. When you know the club the

members and EXCO, you shall create a ‘family’

feeling atmosphere and that helps in making your

evaluation acceptable.

2. Observe the club’s surrounding and its meeting

arrangement. Though “L” shape is preferred, but

some clubs may not have the privilege to arrange

the tables as such. Thus, as general evaluator, one

should know how to improvise and suggest

accordingly.

3. Communicate with the role players if you have

exceptional request like assisting the grammarian on

some parts of the session that includes comments on

the grammatical mistakes etc.

4. Write your observation onto the pre-prepared

guidelines or on your own note book.

During the meeting:

1. Prepare your own notes on all speakers, as you

shall add value to the club if you can extend your

objective feedback.

2. Write your overall comments about the outcome

of the meeting, its strengths, weakness, opportunities

for improvements, great practices which you can

bring back to implement in your club etc.

During evaluation:

1. Craft your opening speech, because it is

necessary for you to present your evaluation like any

pre-prepared speech.

2. Invite your role players to report and remember to

extend your sincere gratitude for their support.

3. Conclude your presentation with your opinion of

the club’s overall performance.

So you see, becoming a general evaluator is

interesting and makes you learn faster for you are

sharing your experience as a means of returning the

goodness of a journey that you embarked which is a

continuous improvement path. Remember to take

the bull by the horns and get on to volunteering as a

general evaluator!

BRAVE SOULS !!

“Speaking impromptu in public” for their first time
