"PURIFICATION" - 30 July 2012
30 faces were beaming with excitement throughout the
JTC meeting last Monday. Bringing forward the theme “PURIFICATION” (WoD: “mercy”),
Toastmaster of the Meeting (ToM), TM Sai
Blackbyrn smoothly conducted the meeting. Although this was his debut as a
ToM, he managed to run the meeting professionally.
When the meeting started, TM Sai told the audience that
the moment he feels most purified is when he shares love and sincerity to
strangers. Therefore, he invited all audience to leave their comfortable seats
for couple minutes to come to 3 persons they had not met before and to tell
jokes to those 3 strangers. The atmosphere was turned into chaotic-fun as
everyone tried to approach 3 persons they had never talked to.

Before
moving on to the Prepared Speech Session, the audience were spoiled with an Entertainment Session brought by JTC’s
very own Joke Master, CC Bahtiar
Manurung. Armed up with amusing slides, he carried his session with the
theme “Stand Up For Independence- Comedy for Liberty”.

CC Bahtiar and CC Fathia are going to perform
their stand up comedy at @America Pacific Place on the Sep 9th 2012.
This is going to be the second English Speaking Stand up Comedy in Indonesia.
CC Bahtiar was the host for the first event, Stand Up Comedy- Comedy for
Diversity. It was also held at @atAmerica in last May 2012

Moving on to the Prepared Speech Session, TM Yunita Ellyanti delivered her ice-breaker
speech, entitled “Yourself” (Basic Manual #1). Through her speech, she shared to
the audience how dreams are not made up for nothing. From attending the dreamt
schools and university until visiting her dreamt country, i.e. India, TM Yunita
proved that dreams are achievable if you really pursue them.
TM Yunita was evaluated
by CC Tantia Dian (Jakarta
Motivators Toastmasters Club).
The second speaker was TM Nur Agus who also gave his ice-breaker speech entitled “Where
to Put Your Heart” (Basic Manual #1). The main idea he was trying to
give was that when you decide to put your heart, then everything will follow. With
his sense of humour and bringing in some advanced speaking techniques, such as
vocal variety and body language, TM Agus made himself the centre of attention.
TM Agus clearly decided to put his heart into his speech and every good thing
just followed!
TM Agus was evaluated
by TM Bena.
The third prepared speech was delivered by ACB/ALB Ignasius Ronny Budihartono who successfully
made ladies in the room get all misty-eyed with his speech, “Life
with a Woman” (Advanced Manual #2). ACB/ALB Ronny made us understand
that those who love us will always believe in us even when we do not believe in ourself. All hail ACB/ALB Ronny!
ACB/ALB Ronny was evaluated
by DTM Harlina Indra.
Lastly, TM Muqsith
from Jakarta Motivators Toastmasters Club ended the Prepared Speech Session
with his Advanced Manual #3. Through his speech, TM Muqsith tried to bring
forward a persuasive selling with title “Shocking Proposal”.
TM Muqsith was evaluated by ACG Henrietta A. Kristanto (Etta).
At the end of
the meeting, the Ballot Counter, TM Ariel, announced TM Agus as the Best Speaker,
Guest Umesh Chopra as the Best Table Topic Speaker, and ACG Etta as the Best Evaluator.
