Redribboners

RedRibbon Days has amazing team members that are excellent problem solver.

I am thankful that we have a close knitted team that enjoys having lunch together. The problem we face is deciding what to eat, so how did one of our team member solve it? I was impressed when I saw the solution (below):

I think Adrian came out with the idea to solve our "What to eat problem". How does it work?

Everyday, one person will get a chance to shoot the target and the points accumulated will decide what's for lunch.

Our newbie Glena was excited because she got a chance to shoot the target (below):

She wasnt sure how to shoot so our Pro Adrian showed her how it's done (below)

Yup, for accurate shots, the trick is to close one eye.

Another example that we have amazing problem solvers in our team is when I saw these flowers on Izza's workstation below:

Some of our team members are sensitive to pollen. How did we solve that problem? Yup, Izza removed the pollen grains. 

The many faces of Red Ribbon Days' EEO

Nik communicates very well using only facial expression.

Question: Guess what is she thinking (below)

Answer: Erm. Are you kidding me?

Question: Guess what is she thinking (below)

Answer: No meaning. She just wants to dig her nose.

Question: Guess what is she thinking (below)

Answer: Eww!! Disgusting.

Question: Guess what is she thinking (below)

Answer: I thought the cleaner is gone. Why do I still smell him.
.....The closer she puts her nose towards Theing's armpit, the stronger the smell is.
Lastly, whenever you are stuck in traffic and you see someone picking their nose in the car - that's Nik!

RedRibbon Days' Very Own Bonnie and Clyde

I just blogged about Nik and Sherin being RedRibbon Days' Batman and Robbin, I have another pair to blog about. There can be no heros without villains. Our infamous duo, Bonnie and Clyde: Shiva and Theing! Okay Okay, they are not really villains-lah, but I like to think of them as Bonnie and Clyde in this blog post. I'm sure Theing is Clyde and Shiva is Bonnie. After all, suppliers likes to call Theing, Mr Ng.

Our very own Bonnie and Clyde (below). Notice the colour matching? Yup, it's the RedRibbon Days culture:




I'm grateful that Theing and Shiva get along very well. In fact, I think everyone at RedRibbon Days gets along with each other very well. Anyway, this blog is about Shiva and Theing and I shall blog about what they like to do with each other.

I do not deny the fact that Theing and Shiva are very good in what they do at RedRibbon Days. However, at times, they have their naughty side. And trust me, their naughty sides only come out during lunch hours and after work. So during working hours, they are productive.

Theing shares everything that she discovers on the internet with Shiva. Sometime in December, Theing found a naughty website (below)


Let's zoom-in the website that Theing found:

Another picture from the same website (below):

Nothing wrong with girls in bikinis. But innocent Theing got so excited, she got Shiva to go to her workstation to check the website out.

After looking at the website, Shiva started day dreaming...... (below)

New Addition at RedRibbon Days

Previously I blogged about Sy, our persistent new team member. Recently we added 2 REAL members to our RedRibbon Days team!

Welcome Lawrence and Penny aka Maria to the RedRibbon Days family! Similar to Theing aka 'K', Penny does not like her new name, Maria. If you read RedRibbon Day's blog, you will know why. For our Christmas party, we had our yearly tradition of Kris Kringle (KK). But this year, instead of traditional "physical gift" we decided to exchange "experience gifts" instead. I wanted a 'maid for a week experience' from my KK partner who happens to be Penny. Penny couldn't decide what experience she would give me so I thought of giving her a 'maid' name so that I will get a maid for a week experience. After all, everyone at RedRibbon Days know that I believe very much in the Secret - Laws of Attraction.

However, I was happier when I received Penny's experience gift.

She gave me a Bieber Experience. (Yes, I am a big Bieber fan. I know, I know. Even my 7 year old cousin makes fun of me). She sang 'Baby' at the Redbox during our Company Annual / Xmas Dinner and promised me another 9 Bieber songs!

Lawrence was my KK partner, I gave him an Aston Martin ride experience to the Gardens. He is extremely appreciative. We share the same passion for supercars so we talked a lot about cars during the ride.

A picture of Lawrence and I with the Aston Martin.

I am thankful to have Lawrence and Penny to join our RedRibbon Days team. They not only get very well with everyone, they have the RedRibbon Days culture - COLOUR MATCHING! Notice they are both wearing pink (below)
Welcome once again Lawrence and Penny!

Our New Senior Pleasure Team Consultant

Recently Theing aka 'K' aka Angie was promoted as our Senior Pleasure Team Consultant at RedRibbon Days. We notice that most customers/suppliers call her Mr Ng so we thought of giving her new names. 'K' is the nickname I gave Theing since she is from Klang and her favourite food is none other than Bak Kut Teh (but only from Klang). The Redribboners call me 'T' as a term of endearment since I get really excited everytime I get to travel to Tawau. (We have a corporate client in Tawau and they prefer face to face meeting). So in two months, I have been to Tawau twice. Once a month, how awesome! Looking forward for my next trip to Tawau this month!! Woohoo!!

Well, this blog is about Theing so I shall stop blabbering about how much I love Tawau and how I get as excited as Nik with the mention of "69". Nik gets excited with the number 69 by the way. (my previous blog)

During our annual dinner 2010, Theing was awarded the AWA Award. She was awarded a RedRibbon Days Range Voucher. Okay I shall stop plagiarizing RedRibbon Days' blog.

Recently we installed a new printer at RedRibbon Days. I was waiting for hours for someone to help me connect the new printer to my laptop because I had few urgent documents to print. I knew there were someone at the office to help everyone with the installation but was not sure what took the person so long to come help me. I decided to walk out of my room and ahhh.. I finally understood. There were three men surrounding Theing, all trying to help her connect her laptop to the printer. How many people do you need to connect the printer to your laptop? For Theing, you need 3! Haha!

In my previous blog, I talked about Theing's infamous pink feather. I mentioned that she likes bringing her pink feather everywhere she goes and playing with it. What I found out is that, she likes it better when someone else plays with it. Picture below:

This is what happens when someone else plays with Theing's pink feather:


Good thing she didnt share with me what she was day dreaming about. But anyhow, Theing is a fantastic Senior PLEASURE Team Consultant. She really know what gives her pleasure!

Getting to Know the Other Side of Nik

Nik is RedRibbon Days' Executive Experience Officer. She is a fantastic person to work with. (I'm sucking up again).

I have known Nik since 2000 but working with her really shows me the other side of her. The first impression that anyone who meets Nik is, "Wow! She is beautiful". If you haven't seen how Nik looks like, below are few pictures of our beautiful Nik:
Okay, not a good shot. Let me try again:

Okay, just cant get a good shot of Nik. In conclusion, she is a very camera shy girl at work. However, after working with her and getting to know her other side, she is not so camera shy after all.

Yup, that's the other side of Nik.

and another.. ohhh la la

Outspoken Nik even shared with everybody her orgasmic experience on her twitter:


And she gets really excited with the number 69. I wonder why.
Although it's quite shocking to know the other side of Nik, she's a fantastic person to work with. In short, everytime I'm with Nik, something funny always happens!

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 :)

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.

A New Addition at RedRibbon Days

Congratulations to RedRibbon Days for expanding its team! We decided to add a new addition to our team as she is so persistent in being a part of RedRibbon Days!

I was so amazed by her persistence. Yes, it's true, we are expanding our team in the next few months. We came out with our expansion plan but not so immediate. Our new team member wanted to join us so much she calls us everyday. Okay, actually only calling Theing. There was once she called and talked to Theing so long that Theing wanted to faint. She kept asking about when the position will be open, how is our company culture, everything about our company because she is so interested to join us. Below is a picture of Theing talking to our new team member:
Our new team member can call Theing at least 5 times a day? Somedays maybe 8-10 times a day? Everytime after 6.30pm (we finish work at 6.30pm) when the phone rings, Theing knows that it will be her calling. A picture of Theing below after 6.30pm when the phone rings:
I think on average they can talk for at least 30minutes. Below is a picture of Theing's red ears:

Poor Theing, when her ear hurts, Shiva the big sister (Shiva calls Theing, Adik, so I'm assuming Theing calls Shiva Kakak?) will come to her rescue and help her. A photo of Shiva making Theing feels better (below):


Okay, I remember Adik telling Kakak that her ear hurts. Why is Shiva putting eye drop on her eyes instead? Okay you know how ENT (Ear Nose and Throat) is connected. Maybe Theing's eye is connected to her ears too?

My apologies for not introducing our new team member earlier. Welcome Sy to our team! A picture of our team member, Sy!

We are glad you decided to join our team!
