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)

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!

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)

Sanjeev Palar - Pilot for a Day Experience

In lieu with World Environment Day this coming 5th June 2011,RedRibbon Days organised a campaign to help reduce our carbon footprint by increasing awareness of activities that we can do here in our beautiful country Malaysia rather than flying to another country to do the same experience.

We had 12 celebrities involved in this campaign. I am thankful because I got to experience all twelve experiences with the twelve celebs.

Our first experience for this initiative was on the 30th April with Sanjeev Palar - a day that I will never forget. Although I have experienced RedRibbon Days' Pilot for a Day at least 12 times, this experience is different from the rest - Thanks to Captain Adli.

Captain Adli knew he had to do something different for this PFAD experience to excite Sanjeev - someone who has experienced driving a formula 1 car. So, Sanjeev experienced the Zero gravity and Postive Gravity flight experience!

Check out the video from this experience (below).



I regretted for being such a glutton before the experience - I had 2 Large Ribena, 1 Sausage Mc Muffin and 1 Has brown. During the zero gravity and positive gravity experience, the mixture of Ribena and Sausage Mc Muffin with egg came up my throat a so many times I lost count.

We were so shaken after the Zero Gravity and Positive Gravity experience, we kissed the ground once we landed.
