Gala Dinner 7th International Pineapple Symposium 2010

The story began on last Monday 12 July 2010. While I was doing my everyday tasks, suddenly I was being instructed to design the backdrop for this special and big events. Quite shock as I noticed that I just need to be the translator during the technical visit at Ladang Nanas, Alor Bukit, Pekan Nanas, Pontian on this Thursday 15 July 2010.

Added some more, just now around 2.++pm, Hajar asked my help to assist the participants from Africa, Philippine and Australia for their visit on pineapple entrepreneurs. It is for the whole day of Friday 16 July 2010. I accepted the request. What I mean here, as government servant, this is called urgent job tasks. So, now considered as the 3rd task for me. I'm proud to be one part of this international symposium which is held in 3 years time. Previously, it was held in Mexico.

So now my responsibility become bigger and need to entertain and translate for these delegates. Let's get back to our main focus regarding this Gala Dinner.

Aza as one of the Gala Dinner Committees ask me to help on this matter. So, I quickly find any photos for MD2 pineapple hybrid and did the design using Adobe Photoshop with the help of new practical staff. Simple but meaningful. Although I was not there last night, the events went smoothly as what Aza said. I felt very relieved.

So, let's look at the photos taken by Aza. Altogether 425 participants (delegates) from over 49 countries throughout the world. They are staying at Puteri Pacific Hotel. The Gala Dinner was located at Persada Johor. Most of the delegates enjoyed themselves with the performance by Yayasan Warisan Johor and also Ghazal, Malay traditional music culture. Finally the event succeeded and achieved its target.

p/s : It's not easy to organize such big event like this that involved international delegates.
