Minutes of 5 October , 2009 Meeting

Which song are you?

Have you ever really thought about which song really represent your self? I know what songs I like, what songs I listen to frequently, but to think about what song that represent me…to be honest, I’ve never thought about it.

So, I guess it’s a really thought provoking theme that DTM Harlina chose that night for our TM meeting, on Monday, October 5, 09. Which song are you?

TM Taufan has confirmed to resign from his role as SAA. Somehow that night, we didn’t prepare the food, so (I guess) DTM Harlina and CC Dyah quickly decided to do something about it early that night.

There were 15 people attending the meeting. The number of guests outnumbered the members that night. Ladies, we had 8 guys coming as guest that night. (please wait a moment, I’ll come to this point later on).

All the guests introduced themselves. If you came two Mondays ago, we had Jackson and Andi coming again to our meeting. And there’s one guest, Yayat, who happened to work in Menara Emporium, and promised to come again next Monday. Plus, we were also very surprised to know that we have a new member, TM Kardinal, who came for the first time to TM meeting, yet already joined.

As TOM that night, DTM Harlina introduced the theme by playing ‘Starlight’ by Muse. I do agree that we have to set music before the meeting starts to set the mood. (by this, I’m hoping TM Etta and her lovely PB&Co would provide sound system in the room…hihihi).

Playing the role as General Evaluator was none other that CC Matthew. She was assisted by CC Dyah as the Grammarian, TM Fathia and Guest Joshua as the Timers, TM Sellya as the Ballot Counter and Ah & WOD Counter. TM Sellya has never delivered her first speech, yet she’s playing double role that night. Go TM Sellya.

Since dinner was delivered during the meeting, and since we were all hungry, we stopped the meeting 10 minutes to enjoy Bakmi GM. As punctual as she was, DTM Harlina reminded us to continue the meeting after 10 minutes.

Trying to match with the theme that night, as Table Topic Master, ACS/ALB Wivina, threw questions regarding music. TM Sellya shared that R Kelly’s song, I believe I can fly, best represent her. She believes that nothing is impossible if we keep trying.

Answering the second question, Guest Joshua said that a song that reminds him of beloved one is Doa Ibuku. This song is dedicated to her mother which he admires so much

CC Dyah, surprisingly, said that Arashi, a Japanese boy band, is her favorite singer. Another interesting information that we learnt that night was that actually in Japan, there’s an organization that grooms young age kids to become boy band. Not only they will become famous as singers or boybands (whatever you want to consider them..hihi), but they will get enormous opportunities to become actors as well. Not only the information is interesting, knowing that CC Dyah is a fan of boy band is far more interesting…to my opinion. (GO CC DYAH!).

As the last speaker. Guest Yayat shared that there’s one song regarding cancer that made him sad. He lost his best friend due to cancer.

There were only two prepared speakers that night. TM Olivia delivered her first project, confessing all the puzzles in her life. Hm…little do we know about a person when we see the appearance. So, what can you guess about her when you see her?

To save your time and energy, we give you the answer. TM Olivia studied Architect, but then she had a job as HR in a plantation far away in remote area in Riau, decided to resign and came back to Jakarta. She is now pursing her master degree in Accounting, and working in chemical company.

Lesson learnt from her speech is that it’s always good to know what career we would like to pursue in life. That way, we could save time, energy, and money to focus on specific direction. Two guests had the same insight from her speech that night.

TM Fathia delivered her BM#4, stating her humanistic view of a sensual star. When she said sensual stars, she meant porn stars. (Don’t you agree that it’s such a coincidence that night, that when we have a speech on porn, we have all the guys as our guests?). Although women might become a porn star by accident (when they pursue a career in entertainment industry), for economic reasons, or for revenge of an ex boyfriend, what they do is actually escaping from a reality of life that they don’t want to face (don't want to face that her career is so unsteady, don't want to face her economic situation, and don't want to face that brokenhearted is painful, dude!)

At some stage in our life, we might become an escapist ourselves. Let’s be brave in facing our realities, or else you might end up somewhere you don’t predict. She also stressed one important point in her last sentence, please don’t be a porn star.

The next session was a Song session led by DTM Harlina. Although Michael Jackson had his memorial service months ago, yet his songs remain in our hearts. That night, she chose the song ‘Heal the World’.

CC Ivan evaluated TM Olivia’s speech and TM Ronny evaluated TM Fathia’s speech. As General Evaluator, CC Matthew gave a thorough evaluation.

HALL OF FAME!
CC Dyah was the best Table Topic Speaker.
TM Fathia was the Prepared Speaker for that night. TM Olivia was qualified since she spent less than 4 minutes. So…the audience had no choice. Hihihi.
CC Ronny was the best Evaluator.

Although there weren’t as many people as we expected to come, yet it was a fruitful meeting as always. As one guest put it, it was an educational session for him to ever consider a human side of porn star.

See you next Monday!
