I have my reason not to blog a often as I did before.
The big reason is that I had joined Toastmaster (TM). TM is a club promoting public speaking.
It all began with the day I get award as the best Table topic presenter. Table topic is the session where participant will be given a title on the spot, and participant have to give a speech on the spot without much time for preparation. I get a ribbon as a reward.
Fyi, I was only a guest, not even a member of TM.
I thought I have a gift in public speaking, and my TM mum succeeded in converting me as TM member.

Now that I had joined TM. Had paid a big sum of money....
My bossy 'TM mum' had ordered me to present my first speech next week...
A proper speech is so different from writing a blog.
You can just type anything comes into your mind for a blog post. However a speech have to have proper structure, content, beginning and ending. So far, my speech draft has beginning and ending, but no content. Some help with mental block, I can't continue with the preparation.
For the sake of RM 250, I have to continue my survival in speeching world.....
Merely alive...
Bossy TM mum, have to stop nagging me about doing my homework....

Hi Naomi, go for it! Wow your audience.
I remember my first time giving a short speech to a few o/seas business people, my knees like John Tralvolta in Saturday night fever.
But after three and four, no problemos, as well I always inject humour inbetween. Two great persons I admire is Bill Clinton and Obama, they can give a talk of the cuff, as well Sarah Palin too.
You have a great time....maybe can join politics too, ha ha. Lee.
Hi Naomi, go for it! Wow them....should be fun too. Lee.
