Minutes of Meeting 2nd August 2010

Dear fellows

We had another gorgeous meeting tonight...... and it was started quite on time. There were 24 people in the meeting; 7 guests who mostly found Toastmaster from website, 2 visitors from The British Toastmasters Club (TB TMC) and 15 members.

Our theme was “Internationalism” and our toastmaster of meeting, ACS/CL Harry successfully brought international vibe into our meeting. He explained the theme was about globalization and how it reflected clearly in JTC mix culture members across countries. To support the theme, DTM Harlina dressed up like "winter in Russia" with a "hairy " hat and red/white/black woolen jacket.

First time GE, TM Jay then introduced her team members: CC Shabrina (TB TMC) as Grammarian, TM Kardinal as Timer, TM Nita as Ballot Counter and CC Ivan as “Ah.. Haiikk.. Haiya..” & WOD Counter.

The word of the day was “TOLERATE”

Let’s start our first session. TM Valeriya was really well prepared for this table topic session and did many research about cultures in many countries. Five voluntary speakers came on stage:

1 TM Subchan was asked about a beautiful lady and should make a guess where she comes from. He talked about comparison between physical beauty and inner beauty then he guessed the lady was from the Philippines. The correct answer was a Kazakh lady and she was 6th rank at the Miss Universe pageant in 2009.

2 Guest Weni talked about a Japanese lady and she assumed the lady was getting married because of her make up and hair style. The lady actually is an Australian and her profession is "Geisha".

3 Guest Krisna got a question about an ancient lady. He smartly explained his assumptions about the lady and correctly guessed that she was Nefertiti from Egypt.

4 Guest Istiana made a guess about a picture of an Asian Royal father and daughter. It turned out to be a picture of the tallest Mongolian man and his wife.

5 TM Nazruddin talked about a sexy big lady in ballet costume. On the other hand it is not about appearance, the lady was one of the good leaders. Nowadays beauty in leadership is more important than physical beauty.

Next was prepared speech session, with 3 prepared speakers:
• CC Rini delivered her AM3 entertaining speech; title “Fit and Proper Test”. She delivered an interesting story about her date where she had to pass 3 tests; BMW (red colored Bajaj), nasi uduk sambel jengkol and her effort to go to her romantic venue with high heels. She was evaluated by DTM Johan

• CC Fathia gave us an enjoyable AM1 humorous speech; title “5 Things To Do When You Were in Blue”. She began her story how to find God in the right river, followed by tips to overcome “blue” session in our life. Here's her tips: 1. organizing... anything anywhere anytime, 2. shopping (means relaxing therapy by CC Fathia's dictionary), 3. having parties, 4. doing whatever you desire to do 5.having faith. She was evaluated by DTM Harlina.

• TM Toni presented his BM3 project, title “4 Minutes Golden Time”. He showed us what we can do to safe other's life and also gave us a real demonstration of giving CPR. He was evaluated by CC Lola (TB TMC).

Then our last session was the evaluation session.
