I’m Speech-less

Yup, literally.

I have been given the unenviable task of delivering a speech tomorrow, in Malay!

Might as well ask me to decipher Egyptian Hieroglyphics or write a text in Sanskrit!

Umm…it says here, the pharoah likes to wear skirts!

The last time I actually delivered a speech in Malay was, ….err….; Never?!!!

While I pride myself in my ability to speak Malay rather well, it’s not the case when I have to speak it in a formal speech!

I lack the ‘flair’ of a politician’s speech. I don’t know how to make a ‘diabetic speech’ ~ meaning a speech full of sweet sounding words, never mind that it doesn’t mean anything at all. In short, I don’t know how to LIE!!! :-)

I have less than 16 hours to get one ready.

I am so dead.

Sat, 151207 @ 1634; how do you write a speech while nursing a huge migraine headache?!!

    Nila, for some reasons, your comments always end up in my spam-box and so you don’t see it being published immediately until I ‘rescue’ them from the spam-box! I wonder why..
