The Week of the Optimist

March 26th, 2008

i’ve been extremely happy giggly over the past week because it’s been such an amazing week. while i was on that lovely holiday with Martian, i kept receiving lots and lots of good news from back home :) some of them i cant share right now cos i don’t wanna jinx anything, but there are some that i can!

like how some stuff that i did were published in the papers three times this week :)

two were about the Nuffnang Pajama Party, which i organized together with Michbaby and is an event that i’m very very proud of. we handled it so smoothly that Stewie the Control Freak couldn’t believe that everything was taken care of each time he called us for updates. haha! high five, Michbaby! though i’m a bit sad that i never got to have my chocolate fountain :( it is my dream to organize an event with a chocolate fountain!!!

whee we made the papers! this one was in the metro section of The Star (20th March 08), written by Tho Xin Yi. online version here. the article features Robb’s now-famous nipples :P Robb’s the guy clutching the Kogepan doll in the upper left photo.

and then the next day, the New Straits Times featured our party too!

another two-page spread :D story by Evangeline Majawat. i love the photo of our Nuffies, although Elaine the schoolgirl was missing. glad they managed to catch a picture of our three ‘I Sleep Better With Chipster’ winners too! click here for online version.

a big thanks to Kim Komm, our fabulous PR agency who made all this media coverage possible :)

we had a really good team behind our party :) but the party wouldnt have been so awesome without the 300 bloggers who came all decked out in their pajamas and other bedtime accessories like teddy bears and adorable bedroom slippers. so sporting! i remember when we were first going through ideas for the party’s theme and i suggested a pajama party, lots of people were like, ‘er…… maybe there shouldn’t be a theme. Malaysians won’t dress up wan lah!’. well, now that the event is over and the pictures and write-ups are all available for viewing, what can i say… :) i’m really glad we stuck to the theme. thank you to the 300 bloggers who brought such fun and life to our theme!!!! thank you for being part of our first birthday and the foundation for many more great parties to come :D

the 3rd newspaper article i was featured in is this one:

this was for the ESUM public speaking competition that i participated in last week. this article, written by Tan Shiow Chin, is coverage of the competition’s semifinals, which i shockingly managed to advance to. ya that’s me in the upper right photo holding a pencil and grinning like an idiot :P online version here, though my individual picture is not in the online version. but you can make fun of my long skirt in the group photo there :P yeah yeah… the long skirt jokes have been coming in droves over the past few days. i once told Skyler that i had to wear a long skirt for an interview, and she went “you mean YOU have a long skirt?” -______-

a bit of story about the ESUM public speaking competition: the first time i participated was in 2006. the first round was the topic Mapping the Global Future, which i did alright in. then i got the impromptu topic of Eco-tourism, which is a hard topic, but because i’d been to camps centered around ecotourism, i managed to do well enough to go to the semifinals. once your name is announced as a semifinalist, you have to get up there and start speaking on the topic ‘Storm in a Teacup’ immediately. i didn’t make it to the finals that year, but was happy enough to have reached the semifinals at least :)

then in 2007, the topics were Dynamic Earth and The Straw That Broke The Camel’s Back. i’d already prepared both my speeches, and if you’d read the article up there, you would know that i chickened out of the competition on the morning itself. haha. i was seized with this uncharacteristic nervousness because i felt so unprepared and that my speeches weren’t good enough, so i ended up not competing. it was a decision that i regretted to this day!

so this year, i vowed to redeem myself by making sure i turned up for the competition. i wrote down in my planner to start writing my speech at least a month ahead of the competition, but what with all the pajama party (same day as the competition) and college stress, i ended up writing both speeches only a day before the competition. damn stupid. so yes i felt very unprepared and again, almost chickened out, but i didnt. i forced myself to go and at least try my best.

the first round topic was New Horizons, New Frontiers. i did okay - not as good as i’d liked, and i think i referred to my cue cards too much. Jared and Errol, two guys in my room who spoke before me and thus got to hear my speech, told me that i did well. i didn’t think so lah, but it was very comforting to hear such kind words :) then Jared and i engaged in a long conversation about our mutual kiddy-love for Power Rangers o_____O

then it was time for the impromptu speech. the other 112 participants were getting topics like durian, bittersweet, me myself and i, the perils of smoking… and i got…..

BUDGETING.

YEAH. ANYONE WHO KNOWS ME KNOWS THAT I DON’T KNOW A SINGLE THING ABOUT BUDGETING.

so that’s what i spoke about. haha. i said that i don’t know anything about budgeting, and that’s why i spend so much money all the time and have no savings. i spoke about how i learned to budget quite accidentally - because my dad took away all my credit cards :P then i went into a few more steps on how to budget. anyway i thought my impromptu speech sucked BIG TIME lah okay :( at the end of my body paragraphs, i referred back to my cue cards and realized that i didn’t have anymore points. so i stupidly repeated the first point, and then i said…

“so, yeah, that’s about it. thank you.”

and i sat down. mmmmmmmmmm. well done lah lim su ann, well done!!!

i was so depressed lah and totally disappointed in myself. has all these years of public speaking trained me to end my speech like that? again, Jared and another guy said my speech was good but i didn’t believe them. i later bumped into Samantha and Tara (Thean), also contestants, and poured my sorrows out to them :( i didn’t even bother looking through my semifinals script because i was so sure i wasn’t advancing any further after that disastrous Budgeting speech.

but then they announced my name as one of the 15 semifinalists. oh my god. i almost died from the panic okay. i think many of us hadn’t expected to get through, because everyone (except for like one or two extremely calm people) started scrambling for their notes and cue cards.

as i was sitting in the front row awaiting my turn to speak, i realized how destructively pessimistic i had been. i kept thinking that my impromptu speech was so bad, even though fellow contestants said it was fine and that i was worrying too much :( i actually wanted to leave immediately after the impromptu speech because i was so convinced i wouldn’t be advancing to the next level, so i may as well leave early to help with set-up for the pajama party. well. i’m so glad i didnt leave. i think i would have killed myself if i really DID leave when i’d actually made the semifinals.

my speech on the semifinals topic If I Could Change The World was about the power of optimism :) yes yes the irony of the topic is not lost on me. but i did well. i think the audience liked my speech and i got a lot of really heart-warming and encouraging comments after my round. phew. when The Star’s journalist interviewed me about my topic, i told her that even on that day, i was just drowning in my own dangerous pessimism. it was again, one of those days that i realize how important it is to just look on the good side of things, and that even if bad things happen, i must learn how to accept it and move on with happiness.

something quite funny happened after that. one of the competition supervisors came up to me and said, ‘your speech has matured a lot since the 2006 competition’. i was like, oh! you remember me! and he went ‘yeahhhhh because you’re still SWAYING all the time when you speak!’ hahaha damn malu. i guess anyone who’s seen me speak would know how much i tend to sway from left to right when i speak onstage. my debate instructor used to yell at me all the time for that. haha. incidentally, he was the first person to notify me about my appearance in the above article :)

semifinalists who get to advance to the national finals were to be notified by phone. i was in China during the week they were supposed to be calling us, but i didn’t get any call so i was pretty sure i didn’t get through to the finals.

but then two days ago, i got the call :)

sooooo, the 4th article, which came out in The Star today:


online version here

i will be speaking with 10 other contestants this Saturday at the national finals. 5 of us from the PJ semifinals made it, the other 6 are from the Penang, Johor, Kuching and Terengganu semifinals. i am so EXCITED, i really really am.

and this time, i’m not going to let pessimism rob me from having fun :)

wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am so going to need it!!

    CONGRATTTSSSSS why you so clever to talk wan!! :P
    Sigh, I fully understand the detriment of pessimism, last time when the selection was to be made for my school’s team of debators, I was personally invited by my English teacher to go for the auditions, and I stopped right outside the room where the selection was being made, and i just chickened out, and stopped mid-knock and walked away. Just like that. :( I still regret it till today! :( Never again, I told myself!

    I’m probably late in this.. but still all the Wishing you all the best to you babes. Go at it Pink Pau style!!! :) Will be praying and rooting for ya.

    In regards to the down periods. Don’t worry babes, we have them because we don’t prepare enough sometimes. The good thing here is that you learnt from that and you are now ready with the mindset to do your utmost best ^_^ which I have no doubt at all that you can and will. So knock their socks off!!!!

    Three reasons to choose Upenn:-
    1. dad would be one happy man if later u decide to continue at Wharton Sch and help him in the corporate world.
    2. mom would be one happy woman if later u decide to continue at Annenberg Sch of Communication, then work in the media preferablyfootball commentator or sports talk show .hehehe…can give her insider information ..hahaha
    3. aunt would be one happy woman as it would be near enough to ‘busy body’ over you maaa…

    Three reasons not to choose Upenn
    …same as the above ….duh =p

    BUT ..seriously laa..Upenn is a winner just like you..
