The Raymond Experience

RedRibbon Days was founded in 2007 by Sherin Wong. In short, RedRibbon Days is a gifting company specialised in experiential gifting. Currently we have almost a thousand experiences in our website!

I am fortunate to have experienced quite a lot of the experiences that we have. My favourites would be Pilot for a Day, ATV Waterfall Adventure, Aston Martin for a Day, Foot Reflexology to name a few. However, I have not experienced 'The Raymond Experience'.

Shiva has experienced 'The Raymond Experience' and yes, she is a very satisfied customer. (below).Can you see Shiva's satisfied smile? The Raymond Experience can be customised, although his main focus is in IT, we can customise according to your needs. In Shiva's case, The Raymond Experience entitles her to spend time with Raymond satisfying her needs - her needs to help her with her computer and internet problems.

When the experience is over, Raymond makes sure that Shiva does not have any problems with her computer. He will stay back for a while and let Shiva check and see if everything is okay (below).
Claudine has experienced the Raymond Experience. However her experience is not related to IT. It's related to cars. The Raymond Experience that Claudine experienced, entitled her to spend time with Raymond while he changes her car tyre! (below)



We at RedRibbon Days believe that it is important that our customers are happy, regardless of the type of experience you purchase from us. Our CEO takes every feedback seriously. Since the Raymond Experience is such a customised and new experience, Sherin was there to ensure everything went smoothly and got Claudine's feedback on the spot. (below)
Another satisfied customer!

Motivate Yourself

Let me share with you what team members at RedRibbon Days do to feel motivated. Nik plays the guitar to motivate herself.Oh sorry, I didnt make myself clear - Nik loves Sherin watch her play the guitar to be motivated. (below) There is another thing that Nik does to feel motivated but unfortunately I do not have a picture of her doing it. Nik likes taking long baths. And possibly she likes Lan watching her do it. Ok Ok kidding :)

As for Shiva and Theing, they use Wii Fit to be motivated. It's been quite a while since we utilize RedRibbon Days' breakout room. Recently I found out that, Theing drinks a lot of water to feel good. A closer picture of her water bottles (below). No actually not true, Theing doesnt drink a lot of water to feel good. She loves playing with feathers to feel good. A picture of her (infamous) pink feather.It's true that Theing brings her pink feather everywhere she goes but i cant help thinking where IT has BEEN :)

Don't Judge a Book By Its Cover

I know that my blog should be about the Funny Side of RedRibbon Days, however I could not stop myself from posting this blog. Shanghai is a beautiful city, been there and fell in love with it. The night life is fantastic and the food is great. A picture of the night scene of The Bund (below).

But to me, the most memorable thing about Shanghai is the people! They always say dont judge a book by it's cover but i never really understood what that means. How can one not judge someone by their appearance? But now i understand what the saying means. I have a picture of a lady and trust me, she knows people. A lot of people in fact.
You know what happens when people drink too much. They start fighting. There was a man that was so drunk that he got punched and fell on the floor. (I wasnt fast enough to take a video of the fight or him getting punched.)

There were a lot of people passing by but no one really stopped to see what was happening. Maybe it's quite normal for drunk people to fight and lie on hotel driveways.

But my point is not the fight, it's how people can possibly mistaken this woman as a person who doesnt know many people. I for one did. Let me post her photo again. (below)

All she has to do is make a few calls and within minutes the whole place was flooded with people.
As the minutes past, more and more of her friends came to see watch the drunk man lying on the floor.

The moral of the story is, dont judge the book by its cover.

Colour Matching Part II

At RedRibbon Days, we make it a point to experience all the experiences that we offer on our website. And we love experiencing an experience together. On the 25th October 2010, Sherin decided that we should have dinner with the whole team to celebrate our past achievements, present and future achievements! We had it at one of our favourite restaurant, Vincenzo. We also celebrated Shiva's 1 year anniversary as a Pleasure Team Consultant with RedRibbon Days and the fact that our new website is finally up.

Few days before, I overheard a conversation between Shiva and Theing.

Shiva: Wah Adik, I think it's time for us to wear the same colour.
Theing: Okay, we shall wear the same colour on the 25th October 2010. What colour will should we wear?
Shiva: Turqouise - my favourite colour.
Theing: Aiyah, but I got no turqouise colour baju. Okay, maybe I will go shopping during the weekend to get myself a turqouise baju.
Shiva: Yes, you should. If we sit facing each other, the plastic screen at our work station can pass off as a miror.

Shiva and Theing started laughing.

I wasnt sure what Shiva meant when she said " the plastic screen at our work station can pass off as a mirror" until I saw it. (below)



They were trying make a mirror image reflection of themselves by wearing the same colour. Although Theing is right-handed, she kept talking on the phone with her left hand that day.

Come dinner time, we left for Vincenzo. Theing and Shiva decided to go to Vincenzo together. From far they were walking beside each other (below)


But when they notice that I was taking photos, they decided to act like strangers.


Hoping that people at Vincenzo do not realise that they are wearing the same colour.
