Earlier this year I was invited to present a talk about the project that I am working on to the Institution Of Engineers Malaysia on 16 November 2006. As I really do not ever like being the centre of attention I look forward to these events with a mix of nerves and determination (to actually do it). Fortunately 2006 has provided me with a small wealth of experience in public speaking - I presented three 15 minute papers to an audience of 2-300 an International Tunnelling Conference in KL in March, and did a best-man speech in front of 60 people, most of whom I didn't know, for my best mate Paul, in England in July.
The blog 'preview' feature isn't working now so here's a description of the photos all in one...
1 - Action shot of me talking about slurry pipejacking systems!
2 - The audience, rivetted to their seast to prevent them from leaving!
3 - Question time! I was rather aggresively and unfairly grilled by one delegate, but the session chairman soon got him to shut up!
4 - Award time - I got a certificate of Thanks and an IEM tie! How lucky I am!...
