2 weeks into Jan 2010

Ok i know this is wayy overdue but I'd just like to say "Hello 2010!". Time flies and we're already 2 weeks into Jan 2010. Feels like just yesterday we celebrated New Year. Anyhow, hope you had a jolly good Christmas and an awesome New Year celebration. :)

It's been a great 2009 ending for me and for RedRibbon Days, I believe. Got a few overdue posts about what's been happening but before that, I'd just like to start off saying one thing - I am now a strong believer in "mandi bunga" (as per my previous post)..hahaha! Not that I want to jinx it or anything, but a couple of days after my "mandi bunga" experience, things just turned 360 and it was one good news after the other! Call it pure coincidence or whatever you want, but I'm dead serious! It's kind of freaky in a way but whatever it is, I'm really happy about how 2009 ended and I'd like to think that the "mandi bunga" had something to do with it..hahahahha.

It also feels surreal, that RRD has grown from myself and Sherin, working at home on her dining table to a team of ladies in a REAL office. We actually had our first ever inaugural Company Dinner on 8 Jan 2010. Feels weird, but good weird and we hope to actually FILL UP the restaurant with RRD staff in the next 5 years :)). One of our staff, Shiva blogged about the night. Ladies, we hope you had fun although it was just the 5 of us, but here's to many many more so we can have more office gossips and scandals..haha.joking of course.

Anyhow, apart from the great closing to 2009 for our business, I'm really happy that I've fulfilled 3 out of 10 experiences I'd like to do for 2010. Instead of coming up with new resolutions, I've come up with a list of new EXPERIENCES I'd like to personally do for 2010. 2009 has been pretty hectic as we were all busy establishing and growing the company so this year I hope to dedicate more time to try out new things and it's great to know that only 2 weeks into the year, I've already done 3!

So here's my Top 10 to-do list for 2010. I'll talk about each experience I've completed in separate posts..hope it won't take til 2011..haha

1. Langkawi Sunset Dinner Cruise for Two
DONE! 1st Jan 2010 (thanks to Sherin and Ming btw)
2. Pilot For a Day DONE! 12 Jan 2010. Scariest experience for me to date (i actually hate rollercoaster rides and this kind of felt like one), yet surreal.
3. Contemporary French Cuisine for Two. GOING TO DO TODAY! yeay

Ok the rest below is in no particular order :)

4. Design and Make Your Own Batik Art. I seriously don't think it's as boring as it sounds...
5. Learn Wakeboarding! – 4 Sessions Beginners Course. It looks cool..haha. I can tell people i 'wakeboard'. How cool is that..hahah
6. Spa Getaway for Two in Malacca – Aroma Foot Massage. A charming boutique hotel in Melaka. I've never stayed in a boutique hotel before. Am quite curious...
7. Borneo Highlands Kayaking and Orang Utan Visit for Two. I have a thing for orang Utans..nothing weird ok, i just think they're cute..hahah
8. 3D/2N Survivor Island Adventure via Kota Kinabalu for 2. I sooo wanna go to Sabah
9. Walk In The Sea . Yes, Sabah again.
10. Mandara Massage . 2 therapists massaging you at one time? sounds good.....

So what's YOUR top 10 experience list?

Will share pictures and stories about the ones I've done in my next post..and maybe will revisit the ones I've done in 2009 :)

Enjoy the weekend!
