Your Time Shall Come

 

Just be focused and your time shall come.

While I started following Nicol David since 1992, it was my aim 1 day I shall meet her face to face and have a long chat with her.

In 1998 Commonwealth Games, I had the golden opportunity to meet her after her match at Bukit Jalil stadium.

Probably due to our tender young age, I was bold enough to ask her phone number and address. Obviously, she declined. My final wish was to take a picture with her, which she agreed.

Days passed, I wished I could have a longer chat with her.

She became a World Number 1 squash player, loads of accolades and voted as GOAT.

22 years later, the time came. Last Monday, I was given the honour/previledge to become emcee cum moderator for Nicol David's motivational talk/sharing session (including wishing her advance birthday wishes).

She was suppose to be in Malaysia, however due to the current situation, she was not able to fly, thus the session was conducted online.

Her attitude was humble, and she was professional on the points/opinions.

A great milestone for me in my speaking journey.

Her advise was be focused and leave out the negativity. You shall become successful.

My time shall come and it came last Monday....

Division W International Speech & Table Topics Contest 2019

"If at 1st you don't succeed, keep trying. One day you will achieve it"

These words materialised today when I became the champion for the Division Table Topics Contest.

It was my maiden division table topics title after attempting it for the past 14 years. I have achieved 3rd place 3 times and 2nd place 3 times in previous contest, just made me to wonder, when will be achieving the maiden pinnacle.

When most of my junior members are already reached the District level, i was merely lingering at the division level.

But today, it's all been answered. If Jack Elliot achieved his world championship after 25 attempts, I'm still achieve it.

It also completes my Grandslam titles for division contest (International Speech, Evaluation, Humorous Speech, Table Topics).

Going against the 5 other area champions from various backgrounds, made it a close call.

As icing of the cake, it was a double bonanza to win the division international speech contest too.

Now it's time to rock the District contest stage (national level) at Ipoh on 14th April.

I would like to thank my MIA tmc club members whom were there to give me moral support and cheers for my performance.

Now my sons will get new toys to play with. 😊
