Journey in Evaluating

More on the evaluation contest.
these days working is my full time job and church/toastmasters is my night shift job.

My parents are now curious abt why i've been coming home with "cheap-$5-trophies".

After I explained to them what the contest is about and how my next competitor is a senior lawyer, my mom paused and then replied thoughtfully,

"the lawyer so free one ah?"
"Is the law firm closing down?", Dad added helpfully.

--------------------------------------------------

Met up with the international director for Toastmasters today for some contest tips.
He came on account of our club mentor, who is his good friend.

that's what i love abt this club,
it's a great mix.
there're the mentors with the vast network of contacts and experience,
and they're quite serious about competition,
and yet, the atmosphere is casual enough for a hobby club.

So you can come to chill or to compete,
there's something for everyone.

I learnt that my points are all kuching kurup,
at the next level it's a different ball game.
Quite stressful to do things differently from what i've been doing,
but so interesting.

there's so much more to Public speaking than i originally thought.
-----------------------------------------------

Juggling gigs are periodically coming back again.
yay.
I still like to juggle,
just don't have time for it any more.

so many many many things to do.

I just found this and it's super cool:

one day all the dots will connect.
in the meantime,
i'll just jump from dot to dot.
