Double win! International speeches and table topics contest 2010!

It was double the fun winning in both contests! I enjoyed every minute of it – someone even said I was glowing! What made my wins wonderfully delicious was the high calibre and sheer number of my competitors! I was set for success with the huge and supportive audience that excited and inspired me to share my message!

A very big thank you to my wonderful friends and supporters – your presence and ardent support has been a great source of comfort and inspiration to me. Thank you!

I treasure the intangible more than the tangible. The tangible trophies merely represent the more precious intangible recognition, love and admiration. I quote from my last year’s win,

“Remember my message. Trophies will fade, but the message I share with you, I want it to be imprinted in your hearts and gain inspiration when you need it.”

Last but not least, a very big thank you to my superb mum who has stood by me all these moments; the Universe who is with me; and my beloved late Grandfather – this is for YOU! Thank you!

Jubilations! I'm receiving my recognition! International speeches contest 2010 - first runner-up!

First runner-up: International speeches contest 2010!

Euphoria! I'm receiving another recognition one after another! Table topics contest 2010 - second runner-up!

Second runner-up: Table topics contest 2010!

After winning the first round of the International Speeches Contest, I came in a close second in the tough second round!!!

Exaltations!!!  It was a tremendous learning experience, and I had a whale of a time!  Waiting till the very last of the last of all contestants to speak was indeed nerve wrecking!  I took a risk in trying out something new, and I won!  I simply loved how my audience reacted!

Indeed, without listeners, there would be no speakers – Yip Pei Shan

I really love sharing my messages with you. Lots more inspirational stuff to come!

The horizon’s not the end, it’s just the beginning – Yip Pei Shan

Thank you my friends for coming to support and encourage me!   In person and in spirit!  Without you, I would not have shone!

Special thanks to my mum, Lilyana, Catherine, Zainal, Ed, Grace, and Gerald!

For the brave and uninitiated, and for those who aspire to be courageous, I invite you to come and support me!  Details as follows:

• Venue: Fengshan Community Club, Auditorium, 20 Bedok North Street 2, Singapore

I look forward to seeing you there!

With love,
Pei Shan

I took part in the International Speeches and Table Topics Contest and won the International Speeches Contest!!!

Jubilations!!!  I literally jumped and was on a high ever since!

I’ll like to thank all my wonderful and encouraging supporters, especially to Hua and Gary!!!  Thank you for your physical presence, which gave me added strength and charisma!  Thank you for your uplifting words of encouragement which gave me added motivation to speak better and better!  Without all of you, I would not be where I am today.

Without listeners, there would be no speakers – Yip Pei Shan

Remember my message.  Trophies will fade, but the message I share with you, I want it to be imprinted in your hearts and gain inspiration when you need it.  You are never alone!
