Jakarta Motivator Toastmaster - FUN, LEARN and GROW Together

How did you celebrate your valentine? With your loved one, friends or family? One of the best ways to celebrate Valentine is by having a merry time with your friends! So last week, we had a Valentine themed meeting at Jakarta Motivators Toastmasters Club. Bambang was the TOM who gave us information about the way people in other countries celebrate Valentine. Single girls in Korea would eat black noodles and wear black on 14 April, to lament about their status. A Europe countrymen give anonymous chocolate, in Norway, the men give special spoon to their loved one. People in Philippines love Valentine so much, they prefer to do mass wedding that day! Bambang also gave tips about how to spend Valentine with your lover/husband/wife.

Tika said something very memorable. “I am westerner”. We thought she had a descendant from US or Europe. Apparently, she explained furthe...

*drumrolls* *confettis flying* *a series of applause ensued* Last week, it was our Table Topics and International Speech Contests! Yaaay! We were lucky to get an evening free of rain, and got 63 attendees.  A contest always means a lot, a lot.  It's the time to see the improvements of our members since the previous contest (insert the euphoria of mentors cheering their mentees, friends pushing each other to join the contest, and the classic nervousness before the one minute of silence is up). It's the time to listen, and to listen well. And least but not least, it's when we get to meet those Visiting Toastmasters from other clubs under our own roof.  All contestants posing after the contest with Contest Chair and President Contest Master Elizabeth got a Move Beyond Limit pin from Madame Marketing Coordinator of Indonesia The special agenda with the pictures of contestants The Contest Master was Elizabeth or Ebeth who had reh...
