Pecha Kucha Kuala Lumpur – Vol. 11 – Getting Social

The event organised by British Council at Delucca was a success. The turnout was great notwithstanding that traffic was horrendous. The speakers (excluding myself) were witty, entertaining and informative.


http://www.nikicheong.com/ started the event with his presentation.


http://julianhopkins.net/. I first met him when I gave a talk at eLawyer’s Law Forum. I remember him posting a tough, tough question to me. Now he knows how it feels to be on stage. Hehe.


Tengku Zatashah Idris, founder of http://originalo.com.my/


Low Ngai Yuen – Director, producer and head of the newly revived www.kakiseni.com/ team


Fellow lawyer Jonson Chong – Human rights lawyer and former KEADILAN communications director


Rev Sivin Kit – Pastor at Bangsar Lutheran Church and social activist

I was the 9th speaker. My presentation was about the development of social media and the legal cases relating to it.

Although I had practiced my talk for nearly 2 hours, I couldn’t deliver it in the manner I practiced. In my talks lately, I would speak slowly and quite formal but the earlier speakers spoke quite fast! I decided to ditch the formal style and went Old Klang Road style. There are a few times I spoke too fast until I had spare time before my next slide. Gah.

If you’re wondering what is that green thing on my shirt, it is an ornament made from lego bricks courtesy of Laedglo. I was asked too wear it for this event. Sort of like a product endorsement! You can check out other Lego brick ornaments at their website at their Facebook page.

The last speaker was Daphne Iking – TV host and actress. She was funny!


Daphne Iking looks like she’s take a flight hehe

Pecha Kucha Kuala Lumpur – Vol. 11 – Getting Social

I will be speaking at this event on 18.1.2011 with a bunch of other fehmes people. But this talk is no easy talk. Usually in my talks, my presentation slides follow my lead. However, in this Pecha Kucha presentation, I need to follow the slides! There are a total of 20 slides in this presentation. I am allocated a fixed 20 seconds for each slide. You can check out the video below for a good introduction on Pecha Kucha.

The stakes are now higher. Instead of delivering good content, I have to deliver it in style! NIAMALOH!! Already got problem with the first part!!!

Anyway, here’s the information about the event. Check out the Facebook page for more information.

Back by popular demand, Pecha Kucha Night (PKN), the global design networking/social event that draws creative talents together is back for its eleventh instalment!
