I. Prepared Speech Session

1.   BM#1 Ice Breaker
Speaker : Regina Noya, TM
Title : “Ups and Downs Make Life Worth Living”

TM Regina talked about Life is full of surprises but not all of them are good surprises. We tend to regard bad surprises as problem. Everyday we encounter them, some are trivial and easy to cope with, some are serious and we have to struggle to conquer them. For instance we loss valuable possession or some one we love.
TM Regina evaluated by DTM Harlina Indra, who is gave TM Regina comment about How wonderful she is. Now, we know more about Regina and her amazing mother. Really a touch story and a thoughtful personal experience.


2.   BM#3 Get to The Point
Speaker : TM Taka Liwungan
Title : “Bixi Bike”

TM Taka talked about The Jakarta Government can reduce auto-mobile dependent with provided public bike. The private company can be  sponsor to this program. Reducing auto-mobile will impact to the fresh air and increase quality of life.

TM Taka evaluated by TM Neeraj Khiani who complement at him.
TM Neeraj Khiani said he doing a good speech and interesting personal experience.


3.   BM#4  How to Say It
Speaker : TM Peter Lee
Title : “Super Bargain Trip”

TM Peter talked about South Africa is relatively cheap, easy to go and most importantly, an amazing place that most of us will surely enjoy.  It is none other than South Africa, a place which I have visited last year and almost didn’t want to come back. If you have been to Australia, you will usually be mesmerized by the vastness of the land, the natural beauty, and South Africa is quite similar, but to me personally, a much better place to travel.  The Safari there is mesmerizing.  I actually had a chance to visit one of Africa’s most famous Safaris – the Kruger National Park.  Kruger is the biggest National Park in South Africa covering almost twenty thousand hectares.  It is basically a really huge area where tourist is allowed to drive in and get to see the animals living in the wild.  I chose to stay at a resort next to Kruger and the quality is out of this world at the price.

TM Peter evaluated by Ivan, Rahmat CC, ALB, who complemented for TM Peter. TM Ivan said that TM Peter fluently delivered speech about his vacation to South Africa. TM Ivan found that was really  interesting topic that genuinely caught the audience attention. Full of information and vivid pictures that were shared to audience. The suggestions for the speaker is about the presentation technique : silence for a moment before start speaking, eye contact. And the evaluator also believe that the speaker could elaborate more for words that are not too specific like : huge, cheap (how huge/cheap is it) and it's better to include some personal experience.


II.  Table Topics Session :

TM Jason, opening the table topic session with explained about what exactly table topic session is.

Reusing & recycling is better than downright consuming :  TM Jackson said, he love to see his son learn to recycling now at his school and he support him.

2. Guest : TM Glen
When will consumerism ever end ?  TM Glen said doesn’t agree with that statement, because for him if you wanna make your friend comfotable than you have to talk so he/she will feel comfortable enough to talk to you. 

3. Visiting from Motivators TMC : TM Muqsith
Picture of consumerism about wants vs needs. He said consumerism is about woman but you must know what you need rather than what you want.

4. Member : TM Leni
What is your favorite cosumer product ?  TM Leni said about what kind of product she likes most to buy as like other women such as shoes, clooth to support her performance. She doesn’t like to wear jewelery like ring necklace and others like common women. She prefer to buy bags and shoes than jewelery.
