Making a Comeback!

That's it! Period. I am making a comeback to emceeing, public speaking and hosting.

After having been working in Beijing for almost a year and now working in Guangzhou, I realized that what I missed most is standing on the stage, speaking to a crowd of audience.

Beijing - I did a few events and that was it.

Guangzhou - No events yet. Have barely been here for a month.

2-3 days ago, I was on the MSN with a childhood friend who is an avid toastmasters member back in Singapore. She is thinking of being a freelance emcee and we spoke about what it is like to be a freelance emcee/showhost/presenter. In our parting exchange, she said, "Richard, why not you put up some info on hosting on your blog as a FAQ or sort? I am sure many of my toastmasters club members will be very keen. It is certainly different experience than compared to speaking in our usual toastmasters chapter meetings."

I pondered for a while, wondering if heavens is sending me a sign to get in touched again with what I love to do in life.

Today, I guess I did the right thing. I contacted various toastmasters clubs in guangzhou and decided to join them for their weekly chapter meetings. I am hoping to share my knowledge and also experience in emceeing and also some skills in public speaking. At the same time, it allows me to get in touched with life and what life is all about - Living your life, living your passion!

Tomorrorw I will attend the first session.

Cheers!
