Halloween at RedRibbon Days

We celebrated Halloween at our RedRibbon Days office this year - it's our first year that we ever celebrated halloween, thanks to our amazing team members that organised it.

I think it was either Ramyah, Nisha or Charlene that suggested to Sherin that they would like to organise Halloween at our office this year. Sorry guys, I cant remember who suggested but it's an excellent idea and Sherin loves it. The best thing about organising Halloween at our office is the effort where everyone put in effort to decorate the office (especially the meeting room) and dressed up for it. I think Charlene even brought props from her house to decorate the office. A for effort!

When the Boss is not around...

Want to know what happens at RedRibbon Days when our Founder and CEO Sherin Wong is not around? Well the truth is, everyone is still productive at work - the only small difference is errr.. okay maybe putting up pictures is a better idea. After all pictures tell a thousand words.

We have a room at our office where we keep all our materials for Bespoke R.E.D Balloons.  This room is where we keep our helium gas tank too. We only come to this room when we prepare courier gift packs for delivery and most of the time, only our PTC that come into this room.

So when our Boss Sherin was not in the office recently, I found our corporate team members in our packaging room. Not sure what they were up to (below)

But they certainly looks happy that Boss was in that day.

 Ok now we know. They were having fun with our helium gas!! Not just Ara and Sharmein, Ramyah too! Haha (below)

We take Eating Seriously - Part 2

Most of us at RedRibbon Days take eating very seriously. When it comes to eating, we mean business.... Seriously.

Meet Ramyah - a serious eater. Dont mess with her especially when she's eating.

 Meet Sharmein, another serious eater.

 Meet Ara, another serious one when eating.

 Meet Nisha, ok she's not as serious as Ramyah, Sharmein and Ara.

 Meet Charlene,ok probably a wrong photo but usually she's quite serious when eating.

We take Eating Seriously - Part 1

I love our RedRibbon Days weekly lunch together. It's actually our weekly meeting + lunch. It is the time where we update each other on our work progress, discuss ideas and me bugging everyone to blog.

Last Friday we had Maggi Mee Burger for lunch and I absolutely love it. Ara and I were in-charged of getting lunch. Our team believes in team work even when it comes to getting lunch.

First, Ramyah took everyone's order and wrote down on a piece of paper. Then, she passed the order to Ara and Ara photocopied the order - so each of them has an identical list (below)

Then as we make our way to Bestari, Ramyah calls to order the food.

And finally when we arrive, we dont have to wait for long to get our food. Perfect strategy dont you think? Haha!

Eat, Sleep and Breathe RedRibbon Days

Did you know that our RedRibbon Days Head of Security Modjo is same age as RedRibbon Days? Time flies, this year is RedRibbon Days' 5th year since it was launched in June 2008. However, RedRibbon Days was founded end of year 2007 - our Founder and CEO Sherin Wong took few months to develop the website and get enough experiences on board before launching the website. So, technically, RedRibbon Days is 6 years old - same age as our Head of Security.

I still remember when we first started (before Modjo got promoted to Head of Security), we were all working from Sherin's home. Modjo at the time was still a little puppy and he was working as our RedRibbon Days Home Office greeter. He basically barks and gets excited when the door bell rings, when our phone rings or when the security guards at Sherin's apartment buzz us.

Few years ago, Modjo was promoted as the Head of Security of RedRibbon Days. We love the fact that he Eat, Sleep and Breathe RedRibbon Days.

A picture of our Head of Security below:

He will make sure all of us are proud of our company t-shirt and wear it whenever we can.

Yup! He Eat, SLEEPS and Breathe RedRibbon Days (below)

Sharmein's Birthday

We love birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, Christmas... well we love any kind of joyous celebrations.

At RedRibbon Days, we love celebrating our team members' birthdays. We look forward to spending time with each other bonding over food. All of us at RedRibbon Days enjoy eating.

My personal favourite - Banana Leaf Rice! Recently we celebrated Sharmein's birthday lunch with banana leaf rice and I was probably the happiest person that day.

For our corporate clients who havent Sharmein, below is a picture of her:

 

 Sharmein was also happy that we decided on banana leaf rice that day that she danced with joy.

Now I realised why Sharmein had difficulties blowing the candles on her cake - look at the distance between her and the candles. Trust me, she was thinking of Ramyah when blowing the candles - check out the blog about Ramyah and her cake here.

Ramyah and Ara got the cake that day - we love the strawberry cheese cake from Bangsar Village. A picture of the cake (below):

While lighting the candles, we realised that the cake shop guy made a mistake - instead of Happy Birthday Sharmein From RRD Team, it was written from PRO Team. 

Aston Martin DB9 Passenger Ride

We have an Aston Martin DB9 Passenger Ride experience on our website at RedRibbon Days. The experience is one of our 2012 most popular experience.

Recipients of this gift enjoyed the experience tremendously. As you would be aware, our Founder and CEO Sherin Wong makes sure all our experiences (especially those adventurous ones)  are tried and tested before we publish them on our website.

I am fortunate to test most of the flying experiences - for example flying the plane, Tandem Paramotor, helicopter experience, paragliding, flight simulator (ok, thats not as scary as the above but super fun) - just realised i've done all the flying experiences on our website. I'm not scared of height but I'm actually scared of water and like most people, I'm scared of width. Haha!

In addition to our flying experiences, I have also experienced quite a few driving experiences - go kart,  ATV but I've not tried the Aston Martin DB9 Passenger Ride.

So, I decided to get my colleague / also the owner of the DB9 / Shane / assistant Head of Security to give me a ride in his car.

I managed to take few photos during my experience:

It was an amazing experience and I loved it. 

P/S: It is a once in a lifetime experience for me because Shane usually does not have the time to take us for a spin in his car since his full time job is Assistant Head of Security and not a driver. For our Redribbon days gift recipients, other drivers usually drive.
