TSH World Environment Day

After months of preparation at RedRibbon Days for World Environment Day, the day, 5th June finally arrives!

Highlights of the event:

- the beautiful garden and everyone worked together to complete Taman Hiasan at Taman Botani Shah Alam (below)
- our beautiful buses with pictures of good looking celebrities - so Sex and The City (faces on bus) (below)


- the outriders (below)


And as usual, my blog will not really focus on the event - TSH-World Environment Day itself but our RedRibbon Days team members!

We were divided into Team A and Team B on that day to ensure event goes smoothly. Team A was to stay at the meeting point and Team B went straight to Taman Botani for setup. I was in Team B : B equals Bieber? Haha!

It was raining heavily when we arrived at Taman Botani. Everyone in Team B worked together to setup the place. Everyone was determined to continue to complete setting up Taman Botani in the rain. I didnt take any picture since it was raining.

Team A also worked together to make sure the event went smoothly.

Team A's job was to help up with registration, sound system, parking of guests, flow of the event etc but have a look at our go beyond the call of duty team members do (below)


Yup! They are sweeping and mopping! There were supposed to be cleaners on that day but rather than complaining to the building management, Team A grabbed a broom and mop without hesitation!

I would like to highlight that Shiva, also goes beyond the call of duty to ensure no one is hungry during the event. (below)
She even helps Reza with his kain pelikat during our Traditional Day at RedRibbon Days (below)
I am very proud of RedRibbon Days team members' relationship with each other. We even share food (below)

Taman Botani - TSH-World Environment Day

RedRibbon Days was engaged by our client, TSH to organise TSH-World Environment Day 2011. Other than organising the event on that day, RRD was involved in pre-event initiative to hype up the event and create more awareness with the help of Malaysian celebrities. In addition to that, RedRibbon Days was also involved in planning and overseeing the reconstruction of Taman Hiasan at Taman Botani, Shah Alam.

So you can imagine, the team and I had to visit the garden at least once a week for at least 6 weeks! I love going to Taman Botani because it's so green and I get to be close to nature, which was fantastic!

A (work in progress) picture of Taman Hiasan at Taman Botani (below)
The picture above was taken sometime mid May before the garden was completed. Now, it's a beauty.

During our visits, we saw many monkeys at the Taman (below)


One particular monkey caught my attention. It was on top of a tree drinking something (below)


When I zoomed in, I realise that the monkey was drinking Milo! (below)

Notice the green milo packet (above).

I wanted to see how far my camera could zoom. So I continued zooming in. I was shocked when I realised my camera's capability (below)

RedRibbon Days' Corporate Trade Show

RedRibbon Days participated in a tradeshow in May 2011. Please check out our booth (below):


Quite tastefully done - RED and WHITE - credit to Sherin and the corporate team of course. Looking at the picture suddenly reminded me of the heavy tables, computer monitor, banners, boxes... that we worked together to carry up and down the stairs.

Okay, now I shall focus on one of my favourite topics, Nik! I think those who read my blog notice that I love talking about Nik because she is very funny.

The booth next to ours were selling massage chairs and the sales person was very friendly. Kept coming over to our booth and talked to us. He even invited us to try his massage chair.

Since the sales person was so friendly, Nik decided to try the massage chair (below).


Reza, Sophia and I were quite busy explaining to people about RedRibbon Days. We didnt notice that Nik was gone for quite a while.

3 hours later (below)

Then it started raining heavily. Nik slept so well that someone stole her shoes while she was sleeping. Dont believe me? check out the photo (below)

Yup! Poor Nik was shoe-less.

Turtle Mode

Recently I had the opportunity to do a go-kart experience with RedRibbon Days. At RedRibbon Days, we believe in actually road testing our experiences before we put it up on our website and customise it into a gift experience. Hence all of us at RRD have the opportunity to experience exciting stuffs.

So I would like to talk about my go kart experience. It's such an amazing experience. I never knew that I could feel how Webber feels. Of course it's not as fast as formula one but I felt like a formula one driver. I am an avid fan of Formula One and of course my favourite driver is Mark Webber. Why do I like Webber? Well he's Aussie! Aussie Aussie Oi! Oi! Oi!

It's so easy to drive a go kart, you only need to is accelerate and brake. No gear shiftings - so that was great for me since I dont remember how to change gears.

Dresscode for this experience: Just wear something comfortable - helmet and shower cap is provided. It's quite good since some people are disgusted with smelly and sweaty helmet - you get to wear a disposal shower cap.

Basically the hard part about this experience is wearing the shower cap (below)

So first, I took quite a long time trying to fit the shower cap in my head.
Then, I wore the helmet and was ready for the Experience of a lifetime! Of course the helmet was a little heavy for me that I had to use my right hand to adjust it.
And I'm ready to go (below)

And the winner is....... Me of course! Check out my fans (below)....
........ Okay -lah, according to Sherin and Nik, I was probably the slowest. They cant expect me to go fast, after all, I was in my turtle mode!
It's definitely something that I would love to do again.

Chinese New Year at RedRibbon Days

Recently I posted a picture up on my twitter saying "Gong Xi Fa Cai". I know CNY never falls in July but seeing how RED the team was, reminds me of CNY. Below is the photo that I posted up on twitter :
See how Red is the Team. It's like during Chinese New Year.

Another picture of the team (below):

RED Balloons, Red tie, Red Tops - absolutely beautiful. Oh btw, RED is our founder Sherin Wong's favourite colour - Basically RED, BLACK and WHITE are Sherin's favourite colours. Notice those are the colours of our RedRibbon Days logo?

At RedRibbon Days, we pride ourselves to be the one stop centre for your gift experience. We not only customise experiences into gifts but we take care of the buying process, the activation process, the booking process, the exchange process, the voucher extension process - all you have to do is to just appear of the day and enjoy the experience - we take care of everything. We even take care of getting your feedback to make sure you enjoyed yourself after doing an experience.

RedRibbon Days takes care of the whole process and when we say something, we will definitely deliver it. We deliver everything we promise.

And because we pride ourselves for delivering everything we promise and remember I mentioned about my tweet: "Gong Xi Fa Cai" in July. We decided to make sure it really feels like Chinese New Year! (below)

At RedRibbon Days, we deliver things or experience that looks impossible. Even bringing the CNY feeling in JULY!

If you havent followed my tweet, please follow me @MingNERRD . hahaha! Using my blog to self promote. haha! Talk to me and I will follow back :)

At RedRibbon Days, we continue to upgrade our website to make it as user friendly as possible. One very good suggestion from Nora, to implement a live chat on our website. The idea is so good that we executed it immediately.

The team all worked together to test the software to make sure it is perfect before we put it live on our website.

Everyone at RedRibbon Days worked together to test the software. Erm, we were supposed to talk to each other but Shiva decided that she will be the Pleasure Team Consultant and the customer at the same time.
Shiva started talking to herself and started laughing that Penny decided to go to her workstation to see what Shiva was doing. And suddenly, the both laughed out loud (below).
Okay, I am not sure what Shiva was talking to herself about. It definitely looks funny or dirty.
Above is the snap shot of Shiva talking to herself.

After putting the live chat live on RedRibbon Days, the respond was amazing. Fantastic tool for customers who are overseas and customers who prefers to enquire online and get an immediate response from us.

I know I always say this but because I feel blessed and thankful, let me say it again. I am thankful and blessed that we have such a fantastic team and really, if it's not because of their brilliant suggestions, it will be quite difficult for us to continue to improve.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Colour Matching Part III

At RedRibbon Days, there are few things that we do as a norm. If you have been following us @Redribbon_Days, you will know that every Friday is Friday Food Feast Day. Where all of us will really stuff our face. Friday is a day where we all wear our RedRibbon Days T-Shirt which I absolutely love - designed by our gifted Founder and CEO Sherin Wong.

We love wearing the same so much that we even try to match our clothing colours on other days.

An example of Theme 1: You can wear any colour as long as it's BLACK.

Check our Sherin and Nik (below). They not only wear the same colour, somehow they are even mirroring each other - Crossing their hands.


Reza is wearing according to the theme as well (below):


Shiva and I didnt get the memo so we decided the next day we should set a new theme.

Theme 2: Baby Blue (Below)

Shiva and I:

Caught on camera below: Ming Ne saying ..."Waaiiittt!!! Take again! I want to tiptoe so I dont look so short"

Hence the picture below (Notice I look taller than Shiva?)

Sophia didnt get the memo so she decided the next day to set a new theme.

Theme 3 : Flower Power (below)
And Shiva decided to join Sophia (below)

Another picture of Flower Power Shiva (below)
Yes I know i showed you a photo of Shiva with Theme 3: Flower Power above. Please look at the picture above again and focus on Shiva's background. Yup... Focus on Penny. She didnt get the Flower Power memo.

Finally: Theme: Wear Like a Tree -Green and Brown (below)

Reza's Birthday

It's Reza's birthday! At RedRibbon Days, we love to celebrate birthdays. After all, we love each others company and we love having fun.

We arranged a cake to be delivered to our office after lunch.

Reza was surprised that we remembered his birthday (below):

I just love the fact that our RedRibbon Days family members are so appreciative when we celebrate their birthdays with us. Reza was speechless (below)We were all not sure what to get for Reza's birthday, and of course as an experience gifting company, we believe in giving a memorable gift. I decided to give Reza a Mexican gift. No No, not the Sombrero (below). That does not count as an experience - It's a physical gift that we don't do.

My gift for Reza was a Mexican Experience. Yes, I mean it, a Mexican chick all the way from Mexico. (below)

I wonder if he enjoyed his Mexican ("Milf") birthday gift from me. Haha!
