demon strative

why do i keep discussing speech topics here?

So, another speech is coming up. The Demonstrative Speech. To the uninitiated, a demonstrative speech is where you show people how to do stuff. It's due next week, and we're supposed to get permission from our lecturer by this week (I think?). So, yeah. I've been brainstorming with friends and my best buddy Google.

It's a 7-minute speech, so I guess an intro to Parliamentary-style debate is out. It's a bit dry and boring anyway. And I don't think I can do it justice. Nor a guide to public speaking, cuz wth, this IS a bloody course on public speaking.

I'm not going to cook because everybody is doing it. Besides, it would be weird to see suiying cook. Not to mention boring. Someone told me that cooking is like an indirect way of bribing the teacher ;) if that's the case, I might as well demonstrate how to forge $$. Can right? Can right?

Being the talentless stupid I am, I really have nothing worthwhile to present. So I figure, might as well do something entertaining that I actually want to learn. This narrows my choices to 3:

How to Make a Fireball You Can Hold
Pro - I think it's as interesting as hell. Inner pyromaniac! *manic laughter*
Con - Will probably be as hot as hell. 80% chance of flipping the lecturer. Unless I can assure her it's safe. Which I can't.

How to Make a Tomato Glow in the Dark
Pro - I've never seen that done before
Con - In Amy's words: No life ah?!

How to Take Better Photos with your Digital Camera
Pro - 100% allowed
Con - 100% boring

Because if I do something I'm actually good at, it would be something along the lines of:

How to Wear a Bra + How to Unhook a Bra

Intro to Pen Spinning

How to Make Donkey's *pop* Sound in Shrek2

So how? Die lah.

7 minute of non-stop blabbering?

how about, like that,

"friends, teacher, and people, a very good whatever..."

"..we are all humans, all with PERSONAL PROBLEMS, its hardly anyone that can get away with life without a personal problem. Thus, i have done a survey on this and i would like to point out the most-not-obvious-but-suffered-by-many personal problems that are faced by us today..."

then, before that memorize the blue book.

point out the book fetish one, maybe. i like that one.

crank it up.
