...presentation without a title

...last sunday i was invited by a friend to deliver a lecture...he is the rector of a private college in Banten Indonesia...i was actually very tired...attending event in Singapore on friday, followed by another 3 events in Jakarta on saturday...morning till midnight...weeks before i travelled to 3 continents north america, europe and the middle east...so i don't have time to prepare for the lecture...i have postponed the lecture several times...so not to dissapoint him again, i said ok let's do it...he wanted me to discuss about the issue of ACFTA (ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement) and its impact on SMEs...hmmm economy is not really my area but i did read few articles/books about ACFTA and SMEs...so i gave my lecture without presentation slides and a fully prepared mind..."A Presentation Without A Title"...that's the title of my presentation ha3...i talked about anything that came across my mind ACFTA, SMEs, Innovation etc...the lecture started from ASEAN to china, middle east, korea/japan and israel...bla bla bla...in front of about 200 participants...anyway, there's no hard and fast rules in life...it was a bit disorganized but the lecture lasted for about 45 minutes followed by another 45 minutes of Q&A session...and finally an interview with the local newspaper and TV station ha3...what a day...never in my life i gave a lecture with almost zero preparation...but again life is an experience...
