Div G's representative (Table Topic Contest) to MIRI
My name is Dwi Indah Wahyuni. I am 32 years old high motivated woman living in Pare, Kediri East Java with perfect caring husband and 4.5 years old beautiful cute daughter. I’m dealing with hundreds students from Sabang to Merauke, all around Indonesia who have strong willingness to get better English at the Daffodils speaking classes.
I want to improve my communication and leadership skill, so joining Toastmaster is the best option. Officially, I signed up in March 2010 and has become a member of JEGEG club ever since. I was lucky to be the winner in division G contest and so I got myself ready for the International contest May 22nd 2010 in Miri Malaysia. Together with another 5 distinguish fellow toastmasters from Surabaya, we had amazing trip, even though I feel little bit sorry to myself when I passed the Immigration office, nearly all the officers asked me the same question “what are you going to do in Malaysia?” Do you work there? Uhfff, well, probably it sounds simple but really Its so irritating. But, the warm welcomes from Miri toastmasters have melted my bad feeling.
On Friday evening, we had incredible welcome night. It was entertaining. We learnt about discipline; because we were late and all of the seats were reserved. It was really only early bird catches the worm. Finally we enjoyed to be vegetarian; because that was the only available one. No harm to be vegetarian anyway, I thought.
Well, Saturday was my day. The show began. I performed the best I could, I was so happy joining table topic competition, because I have learnt a lot and got many experiences. Everybody was doing great but only three contestants deserved to go final, and I did not. But, I was very much OK because it was just about time.
Every single day in Miri is the memorable one. Big thanks to district 51 for incredible moments. Also thanks a lot to Division G for the opportunity given. Thanks also to Papa Green for thinking out of the box, I like your ideas “ if you want to tell, don’t yell”. At last thanks to my lovely friends, Niken, Felisia and the boys. To tell you the truth, I have got many stories to tell and to share since then.

With love, TM Indah
