Bad Romance

Yesterday, it was the Taman Indrahana Toastmasters meeting, and Lorna Fisher finally made an appearance as the General Evaluator. And because of Durai’s pullout, I stepped in to fill the empty slot for Assignment Speeches – a CC speech # 3: Get to the Point, titled “Busy, Busy, Busy”. This was really an off-the-cuff speech because except for the speech title, there was really zilch preparation. You can say that I spoke from the heart! Koon Kow, my evaluator claimed it was a stupendous speech – and I suppose others must have agreed with him to vote me the Best Assignment Speaker, and collecting yet another award ribbon.

On Sunday, pop star Lady Gaga took the MTV Video Music Awards by storm as she won in eight of the 14 categories in this year's event.

The flamboyant pop singer tied Norwegian rock group a-ha, the big winners of 1986, as the second most honored act on a single night. British rocker Peter Gabriel set the record of nine competitive wins in 1987 for his innovative video "Sledgehammer."

In addition to winning video of the year for "Bad Romance," Lady Gaga took home the prizes for female video, pop video, dance video, choreography, direction and editing. And her raunchy lesbian prison-themed video for "Telephone" featuring Beyonce won for best collaboration.
