'Money can buy love' - That was the topic for the Table Topics Contests organised by the KK Advanced & Politeknik KK Toastmaster Club last Friday night. There were 8 contestants altogether, dressing in smart casual and ready to take the challenge of giving the impromtu 2 minutes speech to the audience.

As I was sitting below the stage, watching and listening to each of the speakers on that night. They were just amazing on how they reacted on the topic when it was thrown to them. 2 of the UTC members took part and the rest were those older people. Stanley Joibi is the 1 that really caught my attention in that very 2 minutes, with his loud and clear voice, controling his pitch and rate of the speech, he looked so natural and speak confidently on the topic and related it to the economic perspective that money can actually buy love.

In my opinion, money can buy love, definitely not! Even a primary student who learn English in his school know that love is uncountable which means it is invaluble. You might say that 'how about sugar? It is uncountable but can still be bought with a price. Yes, of course. However, sugar has a universal price. Everywhere you go, when you ask anyone, they can tell you the price of the sugar but not love. This is due to love is defined as the affectionate feeling towards someone that is important that usually needs time and devotion to develop and not merely can be bought with money alone. When people agree on this topic that money can buy love, they actually means that money can buy that someone and stick to you probably wherever you go but definitely not the heart. You get the material - a human that may be tagged with a price list but not a heart that is tagged with a price list. Hence, I personally think that even if we have all the money in the world, we would not be able to get love if we do not understand the real meaning out of it.

Wakakaka! how was that? does it exceeds 2 minutes? probably.. anyway.. that was not impromptu and i took some time to think 'bout it and even try finding dictionary 'bout the meaning of love. Just wanna try out, if next time the same question throws at me I'll definitely know how to answer it better than an unprepare attempt *^-^*
