Dale Carnegie-Outstanding Performance Award

Last Thursday during my 7th class, I was glad to be the winner for outstanding performance award..

Let me first briefed you guys and gals a lil' bit on how the class works each week..There are 2 sessions and both sessions require the participants to be actively involved in either giving presentation, speech or opinions for 60 seconds...and then, all participants will vote for the best performance winner..the gift is either an exclusive pen from USA or books..

For the past 6 weeks, I had been longing to win one..partly because my GM kept asking me the same question every Friday (my class os on Thursday)-"So have you win anything yet?" "make sure you win something."..kinda tension as he placed such a high hope on me..

and to tell you the truth, more often, I voted myself for each session..haha..so kiasu..

So this week, each of us were required to show the class some business skills or personal skills, which can be very useful and beneficial to others..

Initially, I wanted to teach them how to tie skarf or wear skarf in various pattern, and you can wear it to work..but of course, it would only benefit the ladies..Then, I asked my cousin to teach me some 'ikatan' that she learnt from Red Crescent..But one day before the class, as usual, the G.A. called me and doing some follow up jobs..she gave me the idea for my presentation the next day-How to fold a shirt in a nice and fast way.

I remembered my sis taught me before on this..so that night, I requested sis to teach me again but unfortunately, she herself had forgotten how..my goodness..but would like to say a BIG thank you to her coz she took the trouble to surf the net, to get into the website and learnt from there..(I went for choir practice that night)..when I got home, she shown me the tactic..and she made a confident statement-"I guaranteed you that you will win tomorrow!"..wow..

True enough, I won..however, I left the class earlier as I need to go for a Christmas celebration at 8.15pm..so I didn't get the chance to hear my name announced, to receive my award and also to give my thank you speech..while I was in the train, I sms my colleague who is my classmate also.."hey, did I win the award? I hope I win..if not, who is the winner?"..30 mins later, he called me.." hey, why did you go back earlier? congratulations, you won the award!"..."true or not?".."true ler.."..hehe...what a funny gal I am...initially so confident, then when the news came, have doubt pulak..haha..

The winner of each class has to give a T.O.U.T speech..T=Thank You; O=Others; U=Usage; T=Thank You again..so Here goes my speech

First of all, I would like to thank all of you for your votes..and was really happy that what I taught today was beneficial to you. I also want to thank my sister for her great help, my GM for his constant 'reminder'..I think I will use this pen when I am taking down meetings minutes..Once again, thank you to everyone!

Will show you all the picture of my award next week..
