"There is always something to be learnt in everything that we experience in life.nbsp; We have so many stories to share, so many lessons to learn.nbsp; As the VPE, I was caught off guard whennbsp;informed of some changes tonbsp;a meeting agenda at the 11th hour.nbsp; After asking around, I couldnrsquo;t find a replacement speaker.nbsp; So I took up the challenge to ensure that the show would still go on.nbsp; The moral of the lesson here,nbsp;(1) Just Do It, and more importantly (2) If there is a will, there is a way.rdquo; ~ 10 Jul 2008 Story,Telling angchewhoe@yahoo.com no No http://www.speaking123.com/2008/07/10/story-telling-ap3-evaluation/ http://www.speaking123.com/2008/07/10/story-telling-ap3-evaluation/#comments Thu, 10 Jul 2008 09:23:12 +0000 chewhoe http://www.speaking123.com/?p=81 http://www.speaking123.com/2008/07/10/story-telling-ap3-evaluation/feed/ 00:01:01 I evaluated Song Lang's Story Telling AP3 speech "Justice has a long jaw" at the July Chapter Meeting at Chao Chu Kang TMC.

Surprisingly, I won the best evaluator award, together with the best table topic speaker award. This is the first time I got a double awards in one meeting. I was very very happy. It really comes as a surprise since I was taking it quite lightly for this evaluation. Unlike my previous evaluations which I usually skipped break to work hard on the evaluation. This time I only jotted down couple of observation points during Song Lang's presentation and just gave an impromptu evaluation. I let the ideas flew out naturally during my evaluation. hmmm..it seems to work.

"5 years ago, I nearly killed someone due to a moment of rage. Now, whenevernbsp;I look back, I feel a sense of relief. It was just a thin line andnbsp;I could have regreted it for the rest of my life if I had crossed that line of no return.

This's my 1st evaluation on Project 9.nbsp; As I've never done project evaluation beyond P4, it's a hurdle for me psychologically and also anbsp;challenge in my competency level.nbsp; So, I 've read up a little on persuasion skills and also listened to past recordings of P9 evaluations from the better speakers.nbsp; Before the meeting, I made an effort to gather more info from Sahana (the speaker whom I was to evaluate).nbsp; There is no doubt that a little preparation goes a long way even in project evaluation. ~ 8 May 2008 Speech,Evaluation angchewhoe@yahoo.com no No http://www.speaking123.com/2008/05/08/p9-early-detection-save-lives/ http://www.speaking123.com/2008/05/08/p9-early-detection-save-lives/#comments Thu, 08 May 2008 05:10:15 +0000 soikching http://www.speaking123.com/?p=68 http://www.speaking123.com/2008/05/08/p9-early-detection-save-lives/feed/ 00:01:01 I took slightly over 7mins to deliver this speech.
