Note: I've never blog before in my life of 29 years and since this is the first blog, please ignore all mistakes and slangs. I promise to do better next time.
RedRibbon Days - alas ! my so called "pet-project" has become a reality. RRD( a term we used in the office) also known as RedRibbon Days was officially registered sometime in October 2007. Nik, my partying and partner-in-crime had the courage to quit her job and give RRD the opportunity to be born. Here's to Nik - "Thank you for trusting me."
Back then, I have the ideas but I do not have a partner. Who else but Nik, I wonder? I casually chat to her about the concept - and much to my delight, she was as receptive towards the idea as I was. Trust me, I've seen many giving me the "WTF-are-you-talking-about"expression when I raised the concept of RRD.
Cut to the chase, a week after Raya holidays, we started work. We worked from home, with the companionship of Modjo - my cute, mischievous 4 month old then miniature schnauzer. Such a delight to have him around. Yes, things does get a little bit monotonous when you are working on the same rectangle table, facing each other, 9 - 6, day in day out. We need some other form of entertainment.
We started penning our thoughts and ideas down sometime in October 2007 and seriously dedicated ourselves to work in November 2007. Looking back, it has been a rather eventful 7 months. We started with nothing and now everything is slowly coming into place. RRD is slowly developing. It has been a long way for RRD and I know the upcoming few months are going to be more exacting. I'm already flat-chat now !!
One day, while driving to meet a supplier, I casually asked Nik. "Hey, do you realise we are actually doing a business together"? "Do you know how many times we have been talking about setting up our own business?". We have been talking about it since uni days over our favourite skinny lattes in Superman's coffee shop, and happy hour over Rump Steak in Krome. Apallingly, everything seems so surreal. Hmm.. and I wonder how many skinny lattes, cosmopolitan and rump steak did we devour over those empty talks? And this time round, no skinny lattes, cosmopolitan or rump steak were required. We just did it.
Don't ask me how it feels to be running your own business. Simply, RRD is still in its infant stage. With babies, you need to pay extra care to them when they are still newborn. You get panicky when they have fever or can't stop crying. Likewise, RRD is an infant on its own that needs our constant attention.
Well, like it or not, RedRibbon Days is about to make a statement and we will be ready to present RedRibbon Days to the world by end of February 2008.

Kudos Sherin! Thank YOU for the opportunity. I’ll quit any job, any time, to work together with you and help you materialise your dream..hence, realising mine.Hehe.
But yeah, I still pinch myself every now and then to make sure this is all real.
It’s been a pleasure and will always continue to be,all the way…despite the occasional panic attacks and depressing moments due to some minor roadblocks..heheh..Don’t forget you have myself, Ming Nu and of course Modjo so ur never alone..plus the 3pm happy hour always helps! :)
Fingers crossed that Msia’s ready for a bunch of ladies who are set to give a new meaning to the word ‘pleasure’ ;)
Sherin & Nik, it's been a real pleasure working with you ladies. I am really excited and honoured that I am a part of the whole RRD project to make it a reality as I do see a lot of potential for success. Cheers!
