Christmas in Red

It's seemed like there was a whole lot of RED going on during Christmas in 2010.

The REDRibbon Days Team were all dressed in our RED T-shirts and guess where our little Xmas party was held? In none other than RED Box! Hahaha. Just found this coincidence funnneeee....


The day of our RRD Xmas Party 2010 was also the day we all exchanged gifts with our Kris Kingle partners. Y'all know how Kris Kingle works right?

Anyways, this year, our Kris Kingle game had a little twist. Instead of giving the usual tangible gifts with a minimum of RM30 and above or whatsoever, our very own Bieber Tan came up with a brilliant idea! How about giving 'experiences' as gifts? But nah ah ah, this 'experience' isn't just any RedRibbon Days experience from our website, but a 'personal' experience of what we ourselves as the 'giver' can give. Do I make any sense? Hahaha.

Here's an easier way of putting it. Say an experience could be "Being Your Personal Slave/Maid for the Week" or "I'll Do Your Dishes For A Month" kinda thing. Hahaha, but it's totally up to you on what you wanna give lah. We all know Ming Ne was really hoping for a Personal Maid though. :P

I received a "Chauffeured Driven in a Bentley" experience by Sherin. Cool leh...

I immediately got to experience this gift on the way to Red Box actually. And all I have to say is, "Bentleys are totally awesome!" The entire look of it from the outside, and oooh, the smell of its sweet, sexy luxurious scent inside is daaammnn nicee....

All I can say is, Thank you very much Boss! :)

Here's what the rest received in case you're curious:

Nik: Personal Ice Skating Coach by Lawrence
Ming Ne: Sang and performed the song 'Baby' specially for her by Penny
Shiva: Exclusive Chakra Massage one on one by Nik ;)
Penny: A authentic Indian makan experience by Shiva
Lawrence: Got to experience a ride in an Aston Martin by Ming Ne

Oh, and what did I give? A 'Personal Guide to Bah Kut Tehs in Klang' for Sherin! Hahahaha! This was hard one for me, I really didn't know what to give cause I was afraid she wouldn't like it. I had a few options like A Personal Guide to Pulau Ketam (but I don't think many would like to see Pulau Ketam, cause it ain't exactly all clean and sandy there), or I'll go learn up a song she likes and sing it for her with the guitar (but then malu lah, dah lah guitar skills so cacat) and a few others. Hahaha. Well, in the end I think Sherin is more of a Food person, so hopefully you like it then Sherin! Lemme know lah when you wanna redeem it :)

During the party at Red Box, there was a few pleasant surprises.

1st, the buffet selection in Red Box, The Gardens was surprisingly good! Based on so many not-so-good experiences with food from Red Box or Green Box, I came to a point where I come with no expectation of food by them already. But then, this was my first time going to this branch that day and seeing their selection was certainly a pleasant surprise. I even had a number of helpings for their watercress soup!

2nd, I knew Penny was suppose to sing Baby by Justin Bieber for Ming Ne, but I didn't know that BOTH Penny AND Lawrence actually came up in front of everyone and kinda danced along with it too! What a performance!

Hahahaha! Good job guys! Should've recorded the video and show it to Justin Bieber himself when he comes down. :P

3rd, I received an award! I totally didn't expect this at all. When Sherin tiba-tiba announced halfway through the Karaoke session that they were gonna give this newly formed award called AAWA, I didn't have a clue what it was at all. Well, here's what it is:

"Always At Work Award"


I was awarded the AAWA because I've never taken a sickie the entire year. Never thought I'll be recognized for that. Thanks guys! Apart from receiving the cert, I also received a RedRibbon Days voucher along with that. And boy, was I so pleasantly surprised to see that I've received a Gold Range Voucher! It's worth RM500! And the best part about Range Vouchers are that we are able to redeem it with any experience worth up to RM500 in the website! There's so much that you can do with a Gold Range voucher. This is so awesome, I've already had a few options in mind and maybe I shall list it down in another post soon. Thanks Sherin, Nik, Ming Ne! Really appreciate it! :)

All in all, it was definitely a good night, seeing everybody having fun and have a go at the mic especially the Karaoke virgin who broke her 'virginity' by singing what else but Madonna's "Like a Virgin" song! Hehehe. You know who I'm talking about! ;)

May there be many more good times such as this!

Cheers RedRibboners!

Apology to Blog


Dearest Bloggy,

I'm so so so sorry! I didn't mean to abandon you this way for so long!

I've just been so busy, but I know that this is no excuse I guess.

Hope you'll forgive me, there's much that has happened at the time of my absence here. And I promise to blog all about it real, real soon!

Will be back in a flash! :)


Love,
