HAVE FUN EXPLORING IMOTIV!

April was a month filled with birthday celebrations for the Nuffies! The month ended with the biggest celebration for our Co-Founder, Boss Ming!! :D

The day before his birthday, the Nuffies went to Sembawang to play PAINTBALL! Everyone had mixed feelings prior to the game as the girls thought about the pain they had to go through while the boys (including Boss Ming) thought about the excitement to shoot their “enemies”. Everyone reached the destination all geared up for the game!

Think: Army Uniform, jacket, jeans, long sleeve clothes under the sweltering hot sun!

US during the briefing! ;)

The instructor holding the “deadly weapon”
After a short briefing, it was time for the ACTUAL GAME! :)

Here’s a pic of the battling scene!

Two glam pics before we start our game!!

Boss Ming and his team discussing intently!

Overall, it was a short yet fun experience! Some enjoyed hiding while some enjoyed attacking. If not for the sudden downpour, we could have played for a longer session to determine the ultimate winning group!

On Boss Ming’s actual birthday, we were invited to his house for dinner! We were greeted by cute balloon animals when we reached his house!!

Here’s a group pic of the birthday Boss with the Nuffies!! :)

Special thanks to Shiberty Sweets for the cute minions cake!

We also left Boss Ming cute post-it notes on his table as a surprise!! As a company, we gave him a personalized jigsaw puzzle :)

Before we end, here’s two videos (one NG version) of the cheeky Nuffies wishing Boss Ming “Happy Birthday” by inhaling helium gas! (Control your laughter)

Happy Birthday to Boss Ming once again! We hope he had as much fun as we did that day!
