Today, I attempted my first public speech contest - Japanese Speech Contest, Penang preliminary. I was quite confident that I will do well for this contest. However, things didn't turn out to be the way that I expected. I was quite disappointed when the MC announced that I won the 4th prize. Anyway, I brought home with 3 presents - a non-functionable calculator and mousepad combo, a Japanese conversation book and a Panasonic rice cooker.
My mum has always wanted to buy a new rice cooker, a more advance one since our current rice cooker is rather "old". However, since it's still functionable, we didn't buy a new one as replacement. Finally, it's time to change to a new rice cooker, with non-stick features and a special holder to steam food. For me, this is a sad rice cooker. It reminded me that I have got the 4th prize and fail to get into the finalist.
Anyway, I feel that I should join the next competition. Hopefully, I do not get another rice cooker the next time. Somehow, rice cooker now has a new meaning for me - rice cooker = failure.

wow, speech contest wo, although i heard before your speeching is very good, but still got 4th, isn't that great ?
Keng wo, how you prepare everythings? those content, pronouciation, yappari......
Hmm.. Minoru-san desu ka? I do not recall anything about my speech being very good. Today my sensei told me that I answered one of the questions wrongly. Perhaps, that's why I got the 4th place :(
Preparations - content, like any other speech, draft what you want to say lo. Pronounciation - do more practice will do.
