Public Speaking O_O

So Jes is going for a public speaking today at Island College of Technology Penang, along with Thangeswary (I'm sorry if I spelled your name wrongly X_X) and me as a supporter XD

I woke up at 5 am in the morning, got ready,
and went to school to meet up with the others at 6.40 am.

Jes looked fine but I dunno exactly how she was feeling X_X

So Mr Chan drove us all the way from school to Balik Pulau to where the college was situated. And since Sir is a very laid back teacher, we did absolutely whatever we wanted in his car XD

We arrived at Island College far earlier than everybody else, so we took in the surroundings first.
And we saw this fella near the stream XD

Jes scared it when she went near it and it scurried away, but I still managed to get a shot of it XD Yes I know it's quite far away X_X
We called it the "Campus Chicken" XDD



And since we still had time, we camwhored XD


One thing that I really hate about going to such places, they don't have the sense of punctuality =o= Their time and their schedule totally don't tally at all!!


Teh very late registration =_=





Their hall,is really tiny if you ask me =_=


While both Thanges and Jes prepared,


I took a picture of laid-back Mr Chan XD

He was out most of the time the competitors were speaking =o= I reckoned he only paid attention to Thanges and Jes =O=


When all the competitors were arranged and seated [four of them were missing], one of the lecturers(?) of the college was supposed to give them competitors a briefing on the rules, but to my ears, she was rather more promoting the college instead =_=

So after all that was done, we waited another hour before the real thing finally started =_=
Horrible management =o=

The competitors were quite ok lah. Their topics are definitely interesting, although it was obvious that some of them had the topic written for them. And some of them looked like they had been practicing very hard, the way they gestured.



Here are some of my favourites XDD

She was talking about "Perception of Beauty among Teens". She was good with her prepared speech, but when it comes to impromptu speech she didn't even last two minutes X_X but she was nevertheless good.

"Why we love who we love" ^^ Interesting topic ^_^



And now, I give you my favourite speaker *drumroll*

ELVIS PRESLEY XDDDDD
ok his name isn't Elvis but I call him that cuz he looks a bit like him XD
"Where are Your Manners?" is Benedict's very well presented speech ^^


Not forgetting of course, Thanges & Jes ^_^
"Friends"

"Reality Shows"

Poor girls. The impromptu speech totally killed them.

"Growing hydroponic vegetables help to check inflation." Discuss =o=
Even Mr Chan said it was a stupid topic =o=

Some amusing contestants. Well, they caught my attention anyway =O=



This dude sounds like Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory XD
"Music"



He looks like a lawyer, and speaks like a lawyer O_O
"Integrity"
It's a really mature topic. I couldn't understand half of what he was saying X_X





This guy speaks like a bullet train @_@ I reckoned his speed-talking allowed him to cram more points than anybody else in the competition X_X
"Modification of Beauty"
Something about plastic surgeries.


"The Environment- Mother Nature's Gift"
Loud and forceful =O= she blundered through her impromptu speech tho. She sounded more like she was promoting hydroponic vege @_@



"The other side of Malaysians"
The way he speaks, I don't think he even cared about this competition.


Now, personally, I have nothing against this speaker. She was good, oh yes, she was really good.
But bringing that many supporters really made them think that that miniscule hall belonged to them =_= sure cheer all you want but please do realise that ppl are trying to listen to the other contestants =_= Girls like them really pisses me off =O=
"If I could Change the World"


The other contestants were rather....bland @_@ so we'll just leave them out ^_^|||


Okay after both prepared and impromptu speeches are over, the judges made their decisions as to who will make it to the finals.




And we have, of course, Benedict who breezed through both his speeches ^_^

The "Lawyer" O_O

The Speed Talker @_@

Mother Nature's supporter ^_^ the loud and tough one.

"If I could change the World"

"Gratitude"

"Perception of Beauty among Teens"

"The Rude Truth about Good Manners"



Sorry no pictures X_X the 8 finalists ^^



Okay, results out. Highschool didn't make it this year, but they did their best ^^

Now, time to ease our hunger XD

Sir brought us to Georgetown Cafe, where he had already dined many times. And he paid all the bills XD Thank you, Sir!!!
It's quite nice, really ^^

We camwhored, again XDXDXD

We ate like, LOADS, among us X_X I think me and Jes were the ones REALLY eating X_X I was so stuffed after the meal @_@|||





And when we finished.....


It ain't easy people @_@

So then after that Ah Sir sent us home.

I told my mama I'd be home around 2 or 3pm. But we ended up reaching at 5pm sharp =_=

So there you go ^o^
