Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contest 2009/2010

The joint Humorous and evaluation contest on 28th August 2009 took off on a lighter mood yesterday albeit the heavy downpour and traffic jam. The unexpected staunch support from our division n area governor plus good turnout of our dear guests from near and far added color to the existing elated mood.

Yes , the humorous speeches delivered had the entire audience in stitches . A GOOD exercise for the " rectus abdominis muscle" and the facial muscles --a good formula for flatter stomach and youthful look heh ?

The sumptous break " makan ' was a treat with hot fish balls from Mdm Ong Cuisine being a hot favourite. Thanks Ivy.

The evaluation contest saw the participation of the " stalwarts " of BATMC . Indeedly it was really tough for the judges to decide the winner.The test speaker Toastmaster Vellu ' s speech on " Road to Glory " was quite a tough one 2 evaluate as he himself was really good and convincing .Thanks Vellu for coming.

The atmosphere that evening was informal one , every one was giggling --probably from suppressed giggles from the post humorous contest , hence released in slow sustained manner spread through out the contest .The evaluators themselves were rather humorous in their delivery .

Finally , the one that was crowned " Glory ' was Nisha- opps its Nishaline Priya Pubalan - she stole the limelight ,bragging the top prizes for BOTH humorous n evaluation contest . Nisha the beholder of megawatt smile was indeedly glorious last nite.She says ' am determined to Bulldoze all in next division contest -watch out for me !

"The good news is that all the evaluators felt they need additional " coaching " and are leaving on 30th August to attend an evaluation workshop at Penang. Thats the spirit of BATMC -the paradise club that always strive for the best .BATMC did not fail to acknowledge ALL who made it a successful nite.Thanks Mr PRESIDENT and his " think tank gang ".All the best to all n Glorious Merdeka !!

From,
Suzan
