Date: 27 – 28 April 2013 (2 Days 1 Night)
Venue: Regency Jerai Hill Resort at Gurun, Kedah
Number of Exabees: 63

Gunung Jerai, a scenic and picturesque tourist attraction that welcomes its visitors with the most soothing vacationing experience was the destination of Exabytes Team Building 2013. Standing at 986 meters (3,235 ft), it is a place tourists enjoy captivating scenery, chilling wind, serenity and good food.

Exabees’ journey to Gunung Jerai started at 10.00 am on 27 April. Our chartered bus which picked us up at Suntech, Penang Cybercity and Chai Leng Park, Butterworth was on time to send us to the most anticipated mountain in Northern Malaysia. After a 90-minute journey, we reached the foot of Gunung Jerai; we were just 45 minutes away from the top of the famous mountain. Upon reaching the top, we checked in, had our delicious lunch while appreciating the wonderful panoramic view before the workshop conducted by CEO Chan began.

The workshop soon started with a 10-minute ice-breaking session; several sets of puzzles were distributed to Exabees who were divided into 6 different teams. In this session, the team which managed to put the puzzle together in the shortest time would win. After solving the puzzle hand in hand, we formed 6 new teams and vowed to take on the challenges in our next endeavors.

Next, our team building activities kick-started without any delay! This session consisted of a total of 4 games with a few 15-minute intervals in between. All 4 games required high level of team spirit, great coordination as well as understanding among Exabees. In addition, the 4 games involved the use of 4 different materials namely ropes, A4 papers, newspapers and straws.

In the first game, 2 ropes were handed out to each team with 2 loops at the end. Each partner would then put both of his hands in the loops of the ropes and cross over their partner’s rope. Next, one of them would need to untangle the crossed rope without getting his hands out of the loops. The team that completed the task in the least amount of time would win.

Subsequently, it was the game which really tested our creativity. Each team was handed only a piece of A4 paper; but we were asked to cut a hole in the paper (to any shape we like) so that 5 team members could fit into the hole! Check out the pictures taken!

The third game is called “dancing on the newspapers”. All Exabees formed a group of two respectively and danced on the newspapers when music was played. When the music stopped, both partners must stop dancing and fold their newspaper into half. The dancing would continue when the music started again, only this time the ‘dance floor’ had gotten a lot smaller! Eventually, the last team which was still able to dance on such a small ‘dance floor’ would declared the winner.

The last game, arguably the most fun, needed us to build the tallest tower using only straws! Not only that, the tower must be able to withstand a bottle of 500ml mineral water putting on top of it without collapsing.

Tired but still upbeat, we were on to the next challenge to cook good food for ourselves in the next team building cooking competition!

Stay tuned for our next post, in which Exabees would cook mouth-watering food to impress themselves and their judges!

Venue : TiPsy Brew O’ Coffee, Puchong

11 March, 2013 – The sun was shining and TiPsy Brew O’ Coffee in Puchong was packed with the top guys of Easy.my, supermodel Amber Chia and several reporters from different media and publications. The event which was planned few weeks ago was to announce a 3-year business plan for Easy.my and kick start the collaborations with Amber Chia as the company ambassador. At the same time, Amber also shared her latest edition to Easy.my, www.amber.sto.my, an additional venue for her to advocate her fashion and beauty service offerings.

Event started at 10.30 am sharp after guest registrations at around 10.00 pm. Easy.my new roll up banners were seen everywhere with catchy but simple words such as “Eat, Drink, Play, Fun” and “Fashion, Food, Home, Travel”. CEO KS Chan started by sharing with the audience that Exabytes Easy.my retailer portal currently hosts close to 10,000 eCommerce merchants with number of products totaling 100,000. It is today one of the largest online shopping malls in Southeast Asia with huge variety of product offerings including wellness, beauty, outdoor adventures, home living, sports, leisure and many more. Some of the popular brands hosted on Easy.my are Secret Recipe Malaysia and Singapore, eBuy.my, merge4u.com.my, etc.

The 3-Year Plan for Easy.my
The 3-year plan is in tandem with Exabytes’ latest acquisitions of HiMall.my, EasyVoucher.com, and the strategic partnerships that involve P1 Communications and Paypal in a concerted effort to ramp up the local eCommerce market for online merchants.

Plan 1 – Two Strategic Acquisitions
The recent acquisitions aim to expand Easy,my’s capacity to meet the market demand surge for online shopping in Southeast Asia. The acquisition of EasyVoucher especially offers merchants a platform to better market their products via promotion deals besides making the revenue model more sustainable by providing promotions on a 365-day basis.

Plan 2 – Connectivity and Payment Gateway Collaborations (P1 Communications & Paypal)
Easy.my merchants will get discounts when they subscribe to P1 broadband Internet services to access their retail portal. The partnership with Paypal also provides secure online transactions on Easy.my. In addition, non-credit card purchase feature offered by MOLPay also enables online shoppers to make payments via internet banking account with major local banks.

Plan 3 – RM1,000 Grant Offered by MCMC Under “Get Malaysian Business Online” (GMBO)
This year, MCMC (Malaysia Communications & Multimedia Commission) will grant RM1,000 to small business entrepreneurs aged between 18 and 65 who has registered a website to run online business. Up to 50,000 eligible entrepreneurs are expected to apply for the grant and Exabytes will be working with MCMC to organize more seminars and workshops on starting out onto the online business journey.

Super model Amber Chia finally added to what Chan said and expressed her confidence in the eCommerce trend in Malaysia. “Online shopping is growing popular and becoming the best option for people with busy schedules to shop at anytime, anywhere. This trend will see more Malaysians to go online and look out for the products, especially to be on top of fashion and beauty trends without needing to step out of the house”, added Amber.

At around 12 pm, the event has nearly come to a close. Reporters and guests were seen mingling around and talking to CEO Chan, Amber Chia and among themselves, before the event was finally wrapped up in a jovial and casual mood.

Date: 13 February, 2013
Time: 8.30 am
Venue: Exabytes HQ

The 4th Day of Chinese New Year, also the first day of work after the beautiful holidays, two auspicious red lions appeared at Exabytes headquarters, bringing together with them good luck and prosperity to wish Exabytes Happy Chinese New Year! Bringing in the surprise were the performers of Lion Dance who dressed in yellow T-shirts. Lion Dance is a form of traditional dance in Chinese culture and an auspicious ceremony to scare away evil spirits and attract luck and fortune.

As CEO Chan, his dearly family members and Exabees wearing red were anxiously expecting the arrival of good luck, at 8.30 am the first hit of gong was heard. Amidst cheering and clapping of hands, two red lions danced into our reception area with their full fledged gong equipment. The truly ear-shattering ‘Tuck Tuck Dong Dong Dong Chang’, ‘Dong Dong Dong….. Chang’ was heard everywhere, scaring away the bad evils and bring in the good luck.

Upon reaching the reception area as well as dancing and greetings by the lions, one of the auspicious animals rested his head on our front desk, before approaching CEO Chan to tuck in the auspicious pineapple and pomelo. In Chinese Hokkien, as the pronunciation of pineapple is similar to “luck/fortune come” (also has similar pronunciation close to ‘online’), we are elated to see the very luck-promising lions ‘eating’ the fruit from the hand of CEO Chan.

Our spirit runs high as the lions adjourned to our meeting room, followed by the fun room and finally the desks of respective departments at Exabytes HQ such as Customer Service Department, Technical Department, Sales & Marketing Department, Creative Department, etc.

Certainly, the last and the most exciting endeavor was to ‘pluck the green’ aka ‘Cai Ching’ in Chinese, using their exceptional martial arts skills.

Looking at the green hung around 6 feet high at the entrance of Exabytes, the two auspicious animals danced gracefully before one of them making its Kung Fu jump and got the green in one single attempt. Amidst a big round of applause, flashes of cameras were seen to capture the important moments.

Finally, this motivating dance event was wrapped up by a group photo taking session together with the lions. We know that it signified an abundance of great luck, auspiciousness and fortune in year 2013, a year filled with great success and plenty of happiness. Exabees wish to thank CEO Chan for inviting the lions and the performers of Lion Dance for their spectacular performance!

Exabytes Event cny, cny 2013, Exabytes Chinese New Year Celebration 2013

As the serving of hot delicious Chinese New Year dishes continued, we knew that we had to get ourselves ready for the next award giving ceremony as well as more fun and exciting games – musical chairs and balloon stomp. While all attendees were making noise chatting and mingling around, our emcee of the day Sau Hun interrupted by announcing the next program – Award Giving Ceremony for Employee of the Month (EOTM) 2012 as well as 5-Year and 10-Year Service Awards. Going to the stage one by one, our 12 EOTM received their certificates and cash from CEO Chan, for their outstanding performance which raised the benchmark for all Exabees.

Following this was an even more prestigious award, Exabytes 5-Year and 10-Year Service Award! Congratulations to Kevin Ooi and Chia Ying for grabbing the 5-Year Service Award, as well as KY Chan (Office Manager) and PY Ooi (Business Development Manager, Malaysia division) for grabbing the 10-Year Service Award! We at Exabytes salute you for your immense dedication to the company.

Next, it’s the game that we had been waiting for, musical chairs. Around 10 chairs were arranged in a circle; Exabees walking around the chairs must race to sit down in one of them when the music stopped. A simple game as it sounds, it was able create many fun and memorable moments for us to cherish.

While emotion was running high, the emcee introduced another game to further boost the atmosphere. Balloon stomp, a game that required each participant to tie an inflated balloon to one ankle was about to start. To win, participants were to burst other participants’ balloons while keeping theirs intact when the signal to start was given. The person with the last intact balloon will be the winner!

To reward the person with the best ‘quickstep dance skills’, our 3 winners (the champion, first runner-up, second runner-up) would receive attractive prizes including vouchers, cash and backpacks.

Next, it’s time to for us to decide who dressed up the best for the night. Our Best Dressed Male and Best Dressed Female would both be rewarded with an iPad mini. But in order to get nominated for this award, the person had to really stand out from the crowd in the costumes he or she wore! Clement and Jerrick were proudly nominated for the male category, and Annie Ong and Candice for the female category. Check out their costumes!

Clement C (left), one of our nominees for Best Dressed Male

Jerrick Yeoh, one of our nominees for Best Dressed Male

Since there were two nominees for each category, both of them must ‘battle’ by dancing on the stage to win the heart of the audience. Clement took a softer approach by doing his own old school dancing while Jerrick was more aggressive in his moves. Soon Annie and Candice took over the stage and entertained us with their slow but graceful dancing.

It was around 10.15 pm and the event had nearly come to a close. However, none of us was willing to leave our seats and say goodbye to each other, yet. This was because the final round of lucky draw was about to begin! In this round, huge prizes such as two units of 42” Smart TVs, a Nikon camera, an EOS camera, a Dell laptop, an iPad, cash, etc were up for grabs!

Congratulations to all the winners for their extraordinary luck!

Finally, the clock struck 11! Before bidding farewell to each other, we definitely didn’t want to miss the chance to capture the beautiful night. After posing for the group photos, many lucky winners brought their prizes home which marked the beginning of auspiciousness in the year of the Snake!

Exabees wish to extend a special thanks to our organizing committee for making this event such a memorable and enjoyable one!

Explosion hairstyle, old-fashioned sunglasses and hair bands, huge earrings were spotted everywhere; but if you looked closely, you’d soon discover that these old-school fashion wannabes were no other than Exabees who were celebrating their 11^th annual dinner with great fun and excitements.

The wonderful night started with CEO Chan and Dato Tan giving their speeches at the very beginning to kick-start the annual dinner. Bringing us back to our 11 exciting years was a video that played on the projector. Reminiscing the sweet memories, we were startled by our emcee of the day, Sau Hun when she announced that the first lucky draw (for early birds only) was about to begin. An iPad mini was about to be given away!

Congratulations to Fifi, the first lucky winner of the day for arriving early and grabbing the ‘first’ prize!

At around 7.20 pm, the first course of meal was ready to be served. This was no ordinary course though; every Exabees would be tossing everything served on the plate before tucking in. Yes, you’ve guessed it right! It is the very popular ‘yee sang’ (a Chinese New Year dish)! At the same time, the toss is auspiciously called ‘lou sang’ or prosperity toss, a very popular tradition for Malaysian businessmen. Soon the second course ensued, and we were ready to move it and have some fun being a limbo dancer! ^-^

After several intense rounds, Ku emerged as the champion of this challenging feat, and was crowned as the man who has the most ‘bendable’ torso!

Next, it’s Lucky Draw Round 2! In this round, attractive prizes such as an iPod Nano, external hard disks, backup hard disks, hampers, portable speakers, dining vouchers, etc were to be given away.

Congratulations to all the winners and we hope that this winning marks the beginning of auspiciousness in the year of the Snake!

Exabytes Event

Date: 21st December 2012
Venue: Exabytes Penang Office

Exabees welcomed Xmas with office Xmas Party with tons of beautiful Xmas presents, Santa Claus grooming contest, Gangnam style dancing, two big-hamper prizes, a RM400 cash prize and plenty of delectable food. As Xmas fell on Friday, a working day, our party started after office hours, after our dedicated OC took the very short 30 minutes to decorate the venue with some interesting and humorous drawings on the whiteboards, Christmas tree, Christmas songs, etc.

In important celebration such as this, certainly the food served played a critical role and we did not disappoint our party goers. Mouthwatering “Little Cottage” Western and Italian cuisine which consisted of Croissant with Tuna Mayo, Grilled Chicken Monte Cristo, fried fish fillet with Tartar Sauce and many more were served to the discerning appetite.

After several intense rounds of tucking in, we were all set and ready to play the game “I’m The Best Looking Santa!” It’s the moment we chose our favorite Santa Claus, based on their costumes, their creativity in grooming and maybe how well they could dance in Gangnam style!

Divided into 4 groups, each group must groom up the best and most striking looking Santa in order to win this game. Group members were encouraged to exert their wildest creativity so that we could come out with the best Santa ever! Prizes for this game were absolutely fabulous. Besides the two huge hampers for our first and second runner-ups, the champion would receive RM 400 cash prize! The judging process was however, based on the number of votes given by Exabees.

But before we voted for our favorite Santa, let’s not forget the most meaningful thing to do on Xmas, gift exchange! With more than 50 gifts for exchange, the party reached its climax as each and every one of us was excitedly exchanging and opening our Xmas gifts.

Next, the votes were cast and it was the moment of truth! Oops, sorry, I mean the two Santa Claus with the highest number of votes would have to battle each other before the WINNER could be decided! So in order to win in this game, our two Santas had resorted to the most entertaining acts to win our hearts. Singing, making strange and funny noises, striking a few funny poses and dancing were all acceptable.

Finally, after all the sweat and blood, the winner was decided! Congratulations Clement, you are officially the most entertaining Santa ever, and thanks a million in giving us the finest show! Before we bid farewell to each other, Clement the best Santa once again offered us the best Gangnam style performance. Way to go, Clement!
