The banner says all :3
I've been trying my hand at designing and photoshop,
so YES. I made that.
But the background picture was taken from the website itself :)
SO.
I'm sure you Malaysians would've heard of this event,
because I overheard some people saying they were from Penang and came all the way just for this
:O
btw, this took place in Mid Valley Megamall Exhibition Hall :)
It all starts out with registration, and the counter was open at 10.30am and there was already a giant queue ._.
But we were actually already fortunate enough to be one of the early ones cause the line just got longer.
There were about 1.8k people!!!
Since the event ACTUALLY starts at 1pm,
there were booths set up so you could check them out,
or just sit on a DOOF beanie listening to these people singing.
Each participant were given a goodie bag!!! :D
I chose red :P
and HiSHOP were giving out free gifts too!
Talk about awesome :3
There was also a "BEFORE I DIE" wall,
where you just get chalks and write down your wishes :P
At about 12.30pm,
we decided to go wait at the entrance.
This was what we had to go through ==
This was the problem.
PEOPLE. WAS. JUST. SHOVING.
They didn't even follow a queue.
People just rushed in like they were escaping from a zombie apocalypse!
(Okay, over exaggeration there :x)
Got in,
found ourselves some satisfactory seats
and just waited while staring at the screen.
Waiting.
p/s: It was my first TEDx event, so I was really REALLY excited!!!
There were three sessions,
and 12 speakers.
Unfortunately,
I did not know any of them.
But they still caught my attention and ideas and inspirations were still flying across the room.
Each speaker had their own "SketchPost"
I think they had someone sketch while the talks were going on.
I only took a photo of Zung's because...
1. There were TOO many people just... crowding x.x
2. His talk was one of the most inspiring, showing you that as long as you have the passion, everything else will come :)
When he talked about his life,
I teared when I saw the pictures.
(THANK GOD THE ROOM WAS DARK)
But seriously, I teared :')
Of course,
the other speakers were just as amazing.
There were all sorts of ideas:
1. Rubber Recycling
2. Curing Brain Cancer with NDV
3. Glowing Plants (IT'S REAL.)
4. Space based Solar Panels
5. 3D printer
and so many many more!
This is an artwork from another artist,
which amazed me and she showed me that you don't need to follow the rules.
Use your out of the world ideas and you can create the most beautiful pictures :)
psst: She did that scene on the place out of cucumbers btw :3
There were plenty more artwork and honestly,
I was hoping that I got the chance to get a headshot,
but.. 1.8k people wanted to as well,
so I gave up queueing :(
Looking through all their artwork and photography was amazing.
Don't ask me why,
it just magically connects :)
Hahah I sound so.. philosophical @.@
But I'm not. I just like the works.
Everyone has their own tastes right?
That was TEDxKL for me.
A real great experience.
Can't wait to go for TEDxYOUTH now :3
