August 21st 2011-Jiro's 30th Birthday Party Celebration.
The venue was the same as last year, except that it was conducted in a bigger hall due the the audience capacity.
We were instructed by the organiser that we need to register in the morning, and we are requested not to loiter around the holding area and to be back to venue in the afternoon, for entry to the event hall. Though I felt that it was hilarious process, but I still followed as instructed~ what a joke!
After registration, we left in search of a place to settle our breakfast, as it was a Sunday, many stores were not even opened at that hour. When we finally found one, due to our hunger pangs~ the food tasted exceptionally delicious!!
Next, we returned to the venue ground, crowds were forming. And there was even a stall set up to sell MJO products, including the limited tee and cap. Of course, I would not miss the chance to grasp my share.
Then, we were allowed entry to the hall, though I was allocated to be seated at Table 6, due to the tables layout, my table was pretty faraway from the stage. So disappointed, but it would allow me no chance to blame anyone, I must find ways to capture my desired shots.
Jiro arrived~and WOW!He's so handsome (NB:Would there be a time that Corina would say that Jiro is not handsome?) Never mind~ the birthday party started~ with interactions with the crowd~ presentation of the birthday gift from Jiro's company~ the birthday cake cutting and of course, not to mention, the media interview.
Then, there were the game segments~ and my~ I took lots and lots of pictures.
Finally, guests were asked to stay in line in accordance to their table number, to go on stage to shake hand with Jiro. I vividly remembered that he called my name, I pushed the presents into his hands and told him that those were the gifts from Singapore and Malaysia fans. He thanked me and I was being pushed by the crew to move on. Then, he called out to me and asked me about my health, I was so deeply touched by this, nodded my head and gave him an "ok"sign. He smiled and I left the stage~totally satisfied and happy!!
