TEDxKL 2010 Photo: The people behind the scenes

My blog has been loaded with lots of photos from the recent TEDxKL 2010 at KLCC.I have been writing about it from being selected as one of the volunteer/TEDxter, about TED / TEDx, preparation for the event to my experiences during the event. 

Hopefully this will be my last post regarding this event before my readers get bored and started to curse me run way.

Although there is still room for improvement, I think TEDxKL 2010 was running smoothly, thank to the generous sponsors such as P1 for the WiMAX connection, Microsoft for the venue, MSC MDec, SocialWalk and many more.
Besides that, I think each and everyone of TEDxters should be given a pat on their back for their contributions in making TEDxKL 2010 a successful event. No to forget that TEDxKL is a non-profit event and all the preparation works are based on voluntarily. Everyone (TEDxters) works hard for TEDxKL without any claims on transportation or even on the expensive parking fees.

With the following photos captured during TEDxKL 2010, I shall dedicate this last post to the great and hard working people behind the scenes. Starting with the TEDxKL 2010's core committees: 


Daniel Cerventus, from Malaysia Entrepreneurs.my is one of the most important guy who initiated the first TEDxKL back in 2009.



Jason Ng, another hardworking TEDxters who is "the man", running here and there.



Shyam, one of the most hardworking committees who has the main important task of setting up the backdrop of the TEDtalk. 



Security at KLCC is really tight! I still can't forget the scene when the security guards stopped us at the front entrance and forced us to carry the preparation stuffs through the loading bay. It was a long journey man !! 

Keng Yew, from SocialWalk, who oversees all the registration matters for TEDxKL event.



Aidan A. Chew, who had contributed his time and efforts before, during and after TEDxKL event.



Michael Teoh, who has contributed a lot and given numerous briefings to the TEDxters.



Followed by contributions from many TEDxters, Teck Lam, the "techie" guy who helped out with handling all the equipments during the presentation.



The guys (Daniel Tan & Je Mein) who have been continuously "twittering" live from TEDxKL 2010. Daniel Tan at work during one of the talk. They are so busy and don't even have time to take a bite with their breakfast.

Did anyone know that the door can't be open with the visitor pass? Chelsea is the girl behind the counter who keeps activating the door to open for anyone to enter or leave the TEDxKL's venue! 


Cute Chelsea holding up the card which activates the opening of the door.



The TEDxters behind the booth (Danial, Michelle, Chelsea, sorry forgot ur name, & Leonard).



Fadli Moja, the patriotic TEDxter in TEDxKL 2010 ! 



TEDxters also took their chances to take photo with the famous artist/producer Pete Teo.

It is really fun to be working with TEDxters to organize the TEDxKL 2010. I am glad that I had the opportunity in making lots of friendships with these friendly and great people.

 
People such as Michael Teoh, a humble and outstanding youth who is a talented great speaker.



Friendly Khai Sheng.



And many more TEDxters who kick ass !! literally... You guys rox....

U-Jean doing the kick-ass action!



After clearing up the TEDxKL 2010 venue, the last group photo of TEDxters is taken before leaving the place.



Perhaps, we shall meet again, for TEDxKL 2011, ok?

Preparation for the coming TEDxKL 2010

The Energetic and Highly Passionate Youth Ambassadors (volunteers) went over to Microsoft Auditorium office today in order to prepare the venue for the TEDxKL 2010 event tomorrow.

The volunteer is also known as TEDxster, TEDxter or even TEDxer in some places. I will just call it TEDxter since it is shorter :p. 

It was my first time entering the KLCC tower and it is so cool to be working at one of the top floors.
The view from the top is AWESOME and the office is nicely decorated!

I went there during noon to join the rest of the TEDsters.
Below are the photos regarding the preparation and I will post some photos of the view inside and outside office next time.


Everyone is waiting anxiously for the boss (Keng Yew) for briefing.



Khai Sheng: It's difficult to be a TEDxter.
Michelle: hehe...



Everyone is happy after listening to the briefing. It is not complicated afterall. 



Hardworking Moja...



TEDxters needed a break too...



and "camwhore"-ed around...



and pretended to be the future "Bill Gates" & "Prime Minister"...



Michelle is molesting touching Bill's hand while naughty Leonard is pointing... somewhere...



Although we had fun a break for awhile, we continued working to accomplish the tasks.
TEDxters (Michelle, Moja & Leonard) are working hard...



Sham was trying to solve the slide show problem of a speaker.



I left around 8pm while Sham, her friend and her nephew were still working to finish up the backdrop. Kudos to them for working so hard. Everything is in place for the "battle" tomorrow.









See you guys tomorrow at TEDxKL 2010 !
