Allan — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 19:34:32 +0000

Everyone who’s been and had lived in Dubai knows about Wild Wadi. Wild Wadi Dubai or Wild Wadi Water Park is considered to be among the top ten Dubai attractions. It is one of the few places where you can spend a whole day with your family and friends. It is ideally located in Jumeirah near Burj Al Arab. Yesterday happens to be Virgin Radio’s Belly Flop competition at Wild Wadi.

And the winning belly flop move and winners.

Congratulations to all the winners. Shiv was the winner of AED10,000 from Speedo and an annual Wild Wadi Water Park pass. He told Virign Radio that his birthday is coming up soon and he’s going to spend the money on a great party for him and his friends!

Telecom Service Provider Du Donates AED 100,000 to Charity at Dubai Twestival

Allan — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 21:01:18 +0000

Last night I attended the second Dubai Twitter Festival or what we call Dubai Twestival. And just like last year, it was again a successful event. The event took place at the Skyyline Lounge at the InterContinental Hotel in Festival City. If you haven’t been there, I suggest you pay them a visit as the location is really nice.

Dubai telecommunication provider Du has donated AED 100,ooo to the chosen charity Concern Worldwide. Concern was selected by the Twestival global team and local organisers around the world to be this year’s charity because of its comprehensive and well respected approach to education. Education in areas of extreme poverty is an issue complicated by many different elements including hunger, clean water, teacher training, building of schools.

Besides the 100k donation, Du has given away 3 Blackberry mobiles. My mistake I didn’t give my business card otherwise I would have been one of the lucky winner. hehe…Congratulations to all the winners!

1000 dollars and an idea to start a business?

Allan — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 07:37:54 +0000

Yes. This was what Fred Deluca had when he started his business Subway. And now Subway has 30,500 franchisees in 87 countries with 56 restaurants in U.A.E.

We all know that now someone needs more than $1000 to start a business.But who knows, you might have a great idea that will only costs you this much or a little more.

Today is the 3rd and last day of an event going on at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Franchising Middle East Exhibition 2009 (FME) is an exclusive International event where you can meet international franchisors, entrepreneurs and investors.

Tomorrow, February 12th, Dubai will participate in an event called Twestival. In more than 175 cities around the world from Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa, North and South America and Middle East, a global meet up for charity will be held.

Twestival enables people from Twitter to connect offline, network and catch up socially while supporting a good cause. Twestival is 100% volunteer organized with all proceeds going to charity which is Charity: Water.

Twestival is now supporting charity: water – an organization that helps provide safe, clean drinking water to people in developing nations. 100% of the money raised goes to direct project costs, funding sustainable clean water solutions.

It is good to know that Dubai Twestival is joining in this event. Sadly, there are only 100 Dubai twitters that can enjoy this night of fun and good time as there is only limited space for the chosen venue. Maybe the next Dubai twestival, there will look for a bigger space though the venue tomorrow is actually a very good place. Nice choice.

* Venue: VIP Upper Deck, Barasti Bar, Le Méridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina (Al Sufouh Road)
* Time: 7.30 pm onwards
