MoM - 17 Feb 2010: Valentine Special Edition

It was a meeting full of L.O.V.E. When we arrived we saw lots of balloons, paper flowers and candies. People dressed up with Red/Pink and Blue colour. That night, Kemiri turned itself to a valentine-themed venue and no one went home empty handed.

The meeting was special because we had two gentlemen attending the meeting (Agus and Nur), who got to know our club from Facebook and Blogspot. However, what’s more special was the first Toastmasters performance from TM Billy, who warmed our meeting by allowing us to give affection one to another.

The Table Topics led by TM Jessica. This time, we got to see the making of the Table Topics questions on the spot. As a Table Topics Master, TM Jessica celled 4 participants to write 2 words on a piece of paper and then she used it for question for other participants. Walaahh!

The speakers got the chance to talk on about “Loving Everyone”, “Holding Hands”, “Blind Date” and “Passionate Kiss” ^^

Then we moved on to the game sessions by ACB ALS David and CC Niken. Everyone was showered with Toastmasters related questions, famous quotations; spot the differences games, till guessing game. Did you know that Bu Rudy (Nasi Empal Udang) and Pak Sadi (Soto Ayam Pak Sadi) were involved too?

During prepared speech session, we had two ladies giving us entertaining performances. TM Agatha delivered her BM#2 – a beautiful speech that reminds us the beauty of being a Mother. Then, CC Rina performed her Storytelling project with such interesting characters including a fly, a salmon, a bear, a mouse, a cat and a hunter. With her speech, our VP E persuaded us to keep it simple in life.

During evaluation session, TM Leonardi and CC Rama shared their evaluation on the speaking performance, while DTM Arlan gave his evaluation on the entire meeting.

Our Halls of Fame were: CC Rina (Best Speaker); CC Rama (Best Table Topics Speaker and Best Evaluator). Thanks to the donation from United States of America’s Embassy, the winners for that particular night brought home a free book – Band of Brothers. Did I say no one went home empty handed?

Just before we ended the meeting, we had another reason to celebrate that night. After delivering his persuasive speech on the first week of February, we had a new Advanced Communicator Bronze in the club. Congratulations on ACB CL Martin Hendriadi ^^

What a happy-ending meeting. Happy Valentine day, everyone and let’s continue to share some L.O.V.E
