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! ;)

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!

Have a great Labour Day everyone!!! Stop worrying, stop working and simply take a good break! :D

(It is just for a day :p)

Hello Nuffnangers!

Here comes the long-awaited blockbuster of the year – Marvel’s Iron Man 3, coming to Singapore cinemas on April 26 2013!

Marvel’s Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

Starring Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Stephanie Szostak, James Badge Dale with Jon Favreau and Ben Kingsley, Iron Man 3 is directed by Shane Black from a screenplay by Drew Pearce & Shane Black and is based on Marvel’s iconic Super Hero Iron Man, who first appeared on the pages of “Tales of Suspense” (#39) in 1963 and had his solo comic book debut with “The Invincible Iron Man” (#1) in May of 1968.
