Gan VT wins first prize, Public Speaking Competition, JPWP

Gan V T  won the first prize in the Public Speaking Competition, Bangsar Zone, JPWP today.  I have been taking him to HELP Uni Comp (organized by ESU) and Sunway Uni comp where he was pitted against experienced speakers from colleges and seasoned ex-prize winners, together with Samuel Ong. 

The venue of the competition: PPD (Pejabat Pelajaran Daerah), Jalan Hang Jebat, just down the road near VI.  The organizer is Confucian school.

This is Kenneth's (U6P) mum who is a teacher at Confucian.



Vincent  in action: title of his speech: "Abstinence".....inspired by Pn. Ng C. H's Focus of Family workshop of abstinence and staying away from pre-marital sex and STDs, no doubt!!!

Was rather annoyed at the giggling girls behind me cos I was trying to record him on handphone...Pn Ng ought to pack 'em off to the workshop too!



During break I took these photos, and instinctively knew one of these beauties will be ours...basing on how the other kids spoke (some refered to scripts, some had attack of nerves, some ended abruptly while Vin was polished and cool)



Yep!!! He won!!! And Johan (First Prize) too!!  Samuel is my back-up and Vin Tsen's loyal supporter.

Isaac Lee from  SMK Taman Desa is third and Grace from Bandar Sri Petaling is 2nd. (I heard she defeated Eric Khong at debate).

I knew that V T is No. 1 as soon as they announced Isaac and Grace as runner up and third. Refrained from jumping up and shouting "yay!!!"


V T is interviewed for EduWeb....check it out next week...go to their website.


Grace is a stylised speaker (lots of hand gestures and reminded me of how Chinese educated pple practise their speech) but she is a good interviewee...never at a loss for words!!!be it in English or Malay.  Below is Isaac, happy with his win.  I was so afraid he would get first! Nicholas was also a good speaker too.

Girls remember to wear a bra, boys, don't do this to the girls...

At first I was indignant at the
crazy guy who pulled down the girls' tube tops and skirts...then I could not help laughing till I cried...very funny, even the old lady was not spared!!!!

Jaspal

Attended Jaspal event on  Saturday 4 July 2009 and enjoyed myself tremendously.  Now I am the proud owner of  a pair of Jaspal shoes and a top!!!

A pair of gorgeous shoes from Jaspal (above) but no,I did not buy these!! If only I could (if I were decades younger, that is!)

BELOW: the Jaspal outlet at Pavilion where the event took place.

The stylist who gave us tips on what not and what to wear.   The models were salesgirls from the shop!!! So don't be surprised to see them serving you when you drop by at Jaspal!
They used the girl above (tall) and this girl below (petite) as examples.



Tall girls dress like this.......
Short girls can dress like, without leggings....
Then volunteers had to style each other: the ones carrying bags and with glasses are the "models" and were  dressed by the "stylists"
This  team won. I loved this top...nearly wanted to buy it!

Daidomon - Japanese Buffet

Went to Daidomon Japanese Barbeque Buffet restaurant at Great Eastern Mall to celebrate my DG52 and APC with my Convent Peel Road colleagues...Susan, Lydia, Angie, Julia and Chen with her daughter.

(Daidomon opens at 11.30am to 2.30pm and from 6pm-10.30pm daily. I toured the restaurant before the food was served and found out that there are 7 private rooms named after the different locations in Japan. Interesting.) .....psst..... (I stole these words from the net).

We ordered (their buffet is not displayed like most buffets) all expensive dishes; shitake, different sets of beef slices (tender and so yummy!), lamb, salmon, ebi tempura, california rolls, soups, chicken, squids, scallops, oysters and then gobbled everything we could! Last2 tinggal kulit oyster je! (copyright reserved!..lifted from Huda's Blog!!)

Beef and seafood for barbeque
The Karubi the Belly Tender  is  one of those flowered meat. When I say flower I meant the fat pattern on the slices of meat. (er..not my words, copied from someone's!!!!)

Tiny plate of sashimi, I only dared to eat the salmon raw, the rest, we cooked 'em. We also ordered scallops and more unagi sushi.....the damage: RM49.90 per person.Daidomon is located at level 3 of Great Eastern Mall along Jalan Ampang in KL.
