It has been a crazy month for us (me and the other four speech coaches - Doris, Danny, Gary and Sabrina!) as we travel around Singapore working with adrenalin pumping kids (or monkeys as some teachers fondly call them by). Our first stop was Yuan Ching Secondary School who have the most adorable teens. Check out some of the pics we snapped along the way.

Check out the L.O.V.E in the air… (grins)

That’s Sabrina monkeying with the kids! Doris is in the far right.. our disciplinarian.

It was really awesome to be on live national TV and to be sitting so close to Suzanne and Dominic whom I have been watching from my TV set for the past one year. The highlight of the morning has to THIS! (scroll down to see the photo)

I was grinning away like a thirteen year old schoolboy for the entire day… even now.

Ok you must be wondering - what’s the occasion?

Hear ye! Hear ye! Andrew and I have been invited again to the local radio station (938LIVE) for another live interview with Melanie Oliveiro. She is the anchor of F-CUBE: Food, Fun & Feel Good, a lifestyle oriented radio show that is highly popular with Singaporeans, young and old.

We have yet to get the questions from Melanie but I do know that the talk will be on The FAQ Book on Public Speaking and our after thoughts. So if you are in Singapore, come join us for a chill out session! Click here to listen live.

Yes, that’s me… my 10 seconds of fame on national TV.

Full news here: 42 amateur writers launch inspirational book in under 24 hours

On Friday, 11 January 2008, 5.15pm SG Time, 42 people embarked on an impossible task of producing an e-book for the first time. What took others months or years, they took a mere 24 hours to make it happen! Not only did they produce the book (Pick Me Up Book) within a day, they also managed to hit 100 pre-orders on the same day.

A blogger friend of mine, Andrew Dlugan has done all of you a really BIG favor. He took the plunge into the public speaking blogosphere and fished out 70 public speaking blogs that you can learn from. When I first saw the list - like a minute ago - I was ecstatic! There are over 1076 articles as of today bursting with generous tips, tactics, strategies, sharings and speaking secrets that can upp your speaking skills by a hundred folds; assuming you take action of course.

And that’s not all.

Inspired by Copyblogger, I have decided to do a round-up of this year’s best received posts with a little running commentary of what is notable for each month.

This would also be an excellent opportunity for you to do some catching up or revisit some of your favorite posts of the year. So come walk with me… there’s something I want to show you, something that I want you to touch. And it’s not very far away. In fact, it is just a scroll away. Shall we?

After nine months of waiting, we were told by our doctor a.k.a The Publisher that our baby will be due on 21st Dec 2007 at 5pm sharp. You should see the excitement and anticipation on our faces as we waited impatiently for the delivery of our baby. And when she finally arrived in our hands, both Andrew and I were overwhelmed with joy.

She is PRETTIEST thing in the whole wide world.

Yes, both the book and the babe (my sis!)

A month back, Andrew and I was invited to The Living Room (one of the more popular radio programs in Singapore) to share about our soon to be released book “The FAQ Book on Public Speaking”.

We had so much fun bantering with Stanley that the segment was extended from 15 minutes to 30 minutes, with a good half of the session jam packed with public speaking tips.

If you have listened to us, you will know that we had a lot of fun on radio. Here are some pictures that were taken during the break.
