I Spoke . . .

In the last few weeks I have had two great opportunities to speak.

The first was on Sunday, May 25, 2008 at 3:00pm at bing! coffee in Kuching at an informal event named Words-Worth! It is a spoken word event, organised to showcase the creative talent of wordsmiths in and from Kuching. I was one of the few feature performers (the others were Robert Raymer, Azreen Zahira, Victor Lim, Georgette Tan). I had the opportunity to read aloud a few pages from my latest book (to be published My Monkey Year). It was nerve wrecking (my first time) but was a learning experience and an eye opener.

Then I was in Kuala Lumpur from the 6th - 8th of June for a Youth Cocert/Seminar where I was the key speaker for the two nights and I also conducted two workshops on Saturday (Dealing With Peer Pressure and Purity In A Boy-Girl Relationship).
From the comments of two bloggers (click here and here to read their blogs) it seemed to have been well received. The organisers also verbally expressed their pleasure. I'm thankful God has helped me speak well and bless many.
