Youth Ambassador, TEDxKL 2010

Since I was quite free recently, I made a last minute decision to apply as a Youth Ambassador for TEDxKL. It is a volunteer job to help in organizing the coming TEDxKL event this Saturday.

I didn't put much hope into getting the job as there will be a selection process to choose the eligible candidates. Moreover, the organizing committee (Michael Teoh) informed :
"We are looking for Energetic, Highly Passionate People who want to be associated with this project and carrying the name 'TEDx' on their shoulders. This will be a highly selective group of volunteers, as they would be representing TEDx and we have a strict rule for ensuring that the quality that represented TEDx is kept alive!"

Out of my expectation, I received an email yesterday and was selected to be part of TEDxKL event !
wo hoo~  ^^

According to Michael Teoh, the selection committee selected 20 TEDxKL ambassadors out of the 130 people who applied.( I must be damn lucky :p )

The selected group of Energetic, Highly Passionate People had a short gathering/meeting with the core committee at Garden's Starbuck @ MidValley just now.

Below are some of the shots taken:
