Hoai Trinh

Join Tubudd's Clay Date: Goodbye 2024, hosted by Quynh Anh Nguyen, for a creative and relaxing team-building experience. Reflect on the year, bond with colleagues, and welcome 2025 with creativity and fun!

As 2024 comes to a close, many of us are reflecting on the year that’s passed, celebrating our accomplishments, and preparing for the new year ahead. But amidst all the hustle and bustle, sometimes we need a moment to simply relax, bond with colleagues, and tap into our creativity. That’s exactly what happened during the Clay Date: Goodbye 2024, an event hosted by Tubudd’s very own marketing intern,

A Time to Relax and Create

It was about taking a step back, getting hands-on, and enjoying a laid-back, collaborative experience with colleagues.

Quynh Anh, known for her creativity and thoughtful nature, wanted to give everyone at Tubudd the opportunity to unwind and engage in something fun and meaningful. “Sometimes, we get so caught up in work and stress, it’s important to take a breather and do something creative together,” Quynh Anh shared, setting the tone for a chilled-out afternoon of clay modeling.

The event wasn’t about achieving perfection or creating art for the sake of art; it was about taking a step back, getting hands-on, and enjoying a laid-back, collaborative experience with colleagues. It was the perfect way to say goodbye to a year full of challenges, successes, and everything in between.

The Clay Date Workshop: A Fun, Collaborative Experience

The Clay Date: Goodbye 2024 was more than just a typical team-building event. Everyone was divided into four groups, with each group drawing a random topic to shape with clay. The catch? No one could see what the other groups were working on until the end of the activity!

The participants rolled up their sleeves, molded, and shaped their clay into imaginative characters that represented their topics. It wasn’t about creating the most realistic or perfect sculpture—it was about embracing creativity, having fun, and working together as a team. The activity was a lighthearted and entertaining way to break away from the usual work routine and connect with colleagues on a deeper level.

A Surprise Reveal: Uniting through Laughter

One of the most exciting moments of the day came when the groups finally revealed their creations. The surprises, laughs, and playful banter filled the room as each group showed off their unique clay characters. From quirky creatures to whimsical designs, the results were endearing and reflected each group’s creativity and teamwork.

Quynh Anh smiled as she looked around at the happy faces: “It’s amazing to see how we all can come together and have fun, even in the simplest of ways. Today wasn’t just about molding clay—it was about shaping memories and building connections.”

Reflections on 2024 and Looking Forward to 2025

While the primary goal of the Clay Date was to bond and unwind, it also provided a moment for everyone to reflect on the year that’s passed. As Quynh Anh mentioned during the event, 2024 had its ups and downs, but it was also filled with opportunities to grow and learn.

As the year comes to a close, she encouraged everyone to not only appreciate the moments of success but also to acknowledge the challenges that made them stronger. “Saying goodbye to 2024 doesn’t just mean leaving behind the stress—it’s about celebrating the growth and the lessons that we’ve learned along the way,” she explained.

The creative exercise also reminded everyone that it’s important to embrace relaxation and creativity as part of their journey toward personal and professional growth in 2025. For some, this might mean making more time for creative outlets, and for others, it could be about building stronger connections with colleagues and embracing new opportunities that arise in the new year.

A Cozy, Chill Time Together

What made the Clay Date: Goodbye 2024 event special wasn’t just the clay itself—it was the sense of camaraderie and relaxation that came with it. In a world where work pressures often take center stage, Quynh Anh’s initiative provided a much-needed pause, offering everyone a cozy and friendly space to bond, laugh, and unwind.

For the Tubudd team, this event was a beautiful reminder that, while the year may end with deadlines and projects, there’s always room to slow down, create, and connect with those around us. As we bid farewell to 2024 and welcome 2025, Quynh Anh’s Clay Date will surely be a fond memory of relaxation, creativity, and team spirit.

Let’s take a moment to reflect on the past year with gratitude, embrace the opportunities of the year ahead, and always remember the power of creativity and connection. Thank you, Quynh Anh, for hosting such a delightful and memorable event. Here’s to more moments of fun and togetherness in the future!
