·         Mr Hisham that gave very energetic and interesting public speaking tips

Begin the day of the programme with Mr Hisham interact with the audience by guessing the personalities of each person and be told to remind ourself to know yourself better than anyone in this world. All my friend out there, could you say that u know urself better or could you list down all you positive and also negative characteristics that u have. Enhance the positive attitude and improve the negative thoughts or manner. This will make u a better n successful person.

There are lots of aspects that are very important in public speaking. We must be prepared and practice all the time to be able to deliver a good and effective public speaking so that people will remember and clearly get the messages u wants to convey. In order to deliver a good speech in front of the crowds with great confident level and speak calmly, there are 6 elements that we should focus which are:

·         Volume

-suitable volume of voice projection for all the audience to listen, control the voice to emphasis important points or to show emotions

·         Rate

-not too fast or too slow and must be effectively used the rate at different situation or occasion.

-for example, when showing important of an idea, it must be done slowly and try to alter the delivery by pausing for a moment and then continue.

- IMPORTANT REMINDER: Try to avoid using fillers such as you know..basically..ermmm.

·         Emphasis

-the usage of right tone and pitch is very important to stress the key point

-do not emphasize all the words equally because it will sound weird. Believe me k!

·         Articulation

-is actually speaker able to express one’s thought clearly

-remember that pronunciations are all that matters because mispronunciation can hurt ur credibility as a speaker and also can make a different meanings sometimes.

-  So, Practice, Practice and Practice to Master the Public Speaking!

·         Organization

-organize all the points or ideas accordingly and clearly have the plot to tell the story

·         Word choice

-use simple words and familiar words to avoid misunderstanding and try to avoid using jargons that will make u in trouble if u don’t understand the meaning and wrongly used.

-improve the vocabulary and try to use interesting and positive words in ur presentation.

PERSONAL COMMENT:

* Mr Hisham was very positive thinker and always encourage us to improve in certain area that is very useful when giving speech in front of other peoples. Don't afraid to be nervous, shaking legs and hands, sweating all over ur body when giving speech because it is normal reaction of our body. Moreover, try to be very positive and never afraid to keep trying and make mistakes!it is because there is always room for improvements! So, lets do this together my friend! put ur courage together and let's rock on!

The Way It Should Be

by Vergil F.e. Tudtud

Solitude have I to endure, seemingly held with disclosure. A fellow left astray, as yet from yesterday. Flashing your dainty, disarming smile, warms my heart every once in a while. Our longtime kinship will always bloom with friendship. It has never been so profound, a lifetime friend have I found. Let our friendship be a bond, which can never be like a dry pond. Let us not forget the dreams we share, forever like sisters or brothers we care. You'll always be a friend to me, and that's the way it should be.

*FRienDShip...sigh..its really2 hard to find true friend that will help us and be there for us when we need them. i'm kind of frustrated to have a bestfriend anymore. I think everyone is selfish and this is the truth.
This is life anyway..hmmm..friend is someone that shares happiness and share a lot of memories together..THATS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE...but sometimes it hurts to have friends that doesn't really appreciate us as their fiend. Or maybe they didn't even consider us as their friend at all? I think.huhu..
really really sad to have one like that right?=(

anyone agree with that statement???

or maybe that was just my feeling...don't know!..teeetttt!
am I sooo negative about friendship??? i think so..huhu

maybe because of my past experience..I really scared to have or to considered anyone as my BEST friend anymore!NEVER!

life as we know it!

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT..

this is very exciting and yet very touching romentic comedy movie that i have watched.

really love the plot of this movie coz everything is just sweet and romantic.

Katherine Heigh is the reason why i wanted to watch this movie so badly!hehehe.

i even had an argument with my boyfriend because of this.

my boyfriend is someone who really hate to watch romantic comedy movie like this one.hehe.

at last, i won!

My first post..=)

This is my first time to write.
I'm a little bit lost how to start this but i'll try my best to do this.
This is what people call gaining experiences in my life.
hope i will enjoy this n make it as my hobby!
=)
