MoM - 16 Sept 2009: Feel The Burn
We had a new venue (again!) and this time was at Pecel Bu Kus, Barata Jaya. All of us were excited with the new environment.
The meeting's attendance was great and we've got a friendly guest: Rizal, and 2 special visiting Toastmasters: Irene Budi Prastiwi (President of Dynamic Toastmasters Club) and Johan Budiyanto (President of IEU Toastmasters Club).
Before the meeting started, we enjoyed the full introduction of our Exco team for 2009-2010, then witnessed a colourful Induction Ceremony for our newest member, TM Ketut.
The Toastmaster of the night, TM Rama, began the meeting by letting us know how important it is for us to always “Feel The Burn”.. and surprisingly everyone used the word “Burn” as the second Word of the Day..
During Table Topics, we had many hillarious moments as ACG CL Boon created a new style of table topics! Volunteers were called upon in pairs, one as a speaker and one as a gesturer. It has never been done before!
Although we only had 2 prepared speech speakers, we've been very much entertained by all of them. The first speaker was TM Billy and his speech stated the hillarious facts on the differences being female VS male. He was evaluated by TM Jessica.
While the second speaker, TM Pauline, inspired us how to be the fabolous flamboyant in our lives. She was evaluated by CC Irene. Having done her 10th speech from Basic Manual, TM Pauline is now officially Competent Communicator Pauline (Hurrayy!!).
On educational session, we learnt something new from CC Martin, who delivered “Evaluate to Motivate”.
At the end of the meeting, TM Leo as the GE referred the meeting as a creative meeting with a lot of new things. In TM Leo's perspective, new things are good for Toastmasters meeting.
