iPad2 Winner & Lightning Speed SocialDeal.com.bn

It has been a moment of adrenaline rush & confusion for a lot of SocialDeal members of the past 7 days.

First of all, it was the iPad 2 Giveaway. We apologize for the mass confusion caused to many members who called & and enquired. The e-coupon you received is actually a coupon tracking code that you would use to track the winning list of codes the second day. For those who never got the coupon, chances are that you never used the one cent we gave you at SocialDeal Wallet to join the contest.

Nevertheless, Congratulations to all winners who came and collected their respective prizes last Friday, lets take a look at some of them!

No! they ain't the winners, meet Fion, our lovely new officer at the iCentre & ..the macho guy from MeSixty.
There you go.

If you've caught us on news, you would have read this on Borneo Bulletin last Saturday: http://www.borneobulletin.com.bn/weekend/news/apr7h26.htm


----------------------------------------------------------------



Good news apart, we've had our share of bad news too from the past 7 days.
www.SocialDeal.com.bn was virtually down for business with extremely high loading time on pages & login/register buttons were inactive during certain moments. 

This gave us all at sD a triple face palm right on the spot. We gathered our bums up immediately & got to work. After countless hours of troubleshooting, debugging, coding with coffee intakes & nasi katoks - we managed to resolve the issues over the weekend & we're back in business!



With today's OhMyCard Deal at 50% OFF, we present you a lightning speed site which guarantees a 5 seconds load on any decent internet connection.


If you have not checked www.SocialDeal.com.bn out, you better be now!

Expect hot sizzling deals coming your way this week & throughout the month of April, don't blink!

Cheers.

Fabulous February at sD's Office

Holla Peeps!

Much has happened in February at SocialDeal's Office, most prominently our appearance once again on the news, (seems like the monkeys at SocialDeal can't stay quiet for even a month aye?) & following would be our shift of Headquarters! Read on for more in-depth details!

www.SocialDeal.com.bn started out at a humble & modest mini-sized office in Batu Bersurat which many of you have dropped by & said hi! It was only two of us initially & today we've grown to a team of 4 to serve you both on & offline!

Meanwhile, in between all those furniture moving, great stuffs happened!
After having nabbed the Brunei ICT Awards 2011's 2nd Prize back in Oct last year, sD submitted an entry for the THINK BIG Ignite Business Plan Competition & was shortlisted for the Semi Finals!

Having to juggle between the Local Business Expo 2012 at the mall this month, we brushed through the weeks with sleepless nights preparing for the pitch & slides.

Our Charming Deen in action.

And it happened! Things got serious when the finalists' results were released on the Brunei Times. SocialDeal Team has more to do than just brushing up the presentation, some of it which includes going for a face lifting & hair treatment for smooth and silky hair.

SocialDeal shortlisted for finals 

It was intense for us during the final's judging

Next thing we knew was that we were all gathered at the Empire Hotel's Indera Kayangan Ballroom to be seated & await for our results.

We got called up unexpectedly for the DST Special Award, ran back down, got seated.....

Three Exhibitions, Two Radio Interviews & One Live interview on RTB Rampai Pagi in 14 days - Impossibru?!!


Consumer Fair 9 ICC Expo, BruXpo The Mall, UBD Book & IT Fair, Pilihan Fm (95.9) Live Radio Interview , Pelangi Fm (91.4) Recorded Interview, RTB Rampai Pagi Live Interview.

We've done it all within 14 days! January 2012 has been much hectic in sD's HQ so far! Kudos if you have seen the SocialDeal team in any of these happenings in January!




Our famous Business Development Executive - Deen in action at CF9
Siti Mutiah & the 'human train' stunt at CF9
The full team for BruXpo + CF9
Deen shuffled out at least 55,000 sD flyers on the last day of CF9 (J/K!)


 It was quite a stunt for sD to move from BruXpo Mall to ICC CF9 concurrently & later on take on UBD's first ever expo - the Books & IT Fair.

That did not end sD's tight schedule, founder Hiro & Biz Dev Deen was kidnapped & put on RTB 1's Rampai Pagi for offering too much AWESOME DEALS throughout the months. We had a hard time calming em' presenters down in digging out to-be-featured 50-90% DEALS!

Hiro pleading guilty to bringing too much awesome deals to the Public, LOLs!
Yesterday, DJ Frankie from Pilihan FM 95.9 kidnapped us to RTB again for a live 8am interview.
(One of the two cars parked at the private parking was sD's, the other one was Wu Chun's Lamborghini!)

p/s: Pelangi Fm 91.4's interview has not been released yet, stay tuned to the radio to catch it soon!


On the same day we popped our eyes enjoying the view of Wu Chun's Lambo, a bunch of to-be under/postgraduates popped by sD's office at iCentre, Anggerek Desa for a visit. We showed them around & asked:"Anyone heard of the SocialDeal?" Guess what they said?

*(earlier on we heard a few shrieking "SOCIALDEAL!!!" from the stairs before they came up)
.....What's with the durians?
Yes! you've heard about it, The EAT ALL YOU CAN Durian Buffet deal that went viral with more than 100+ SHARES last week!

Good news is, you haven't miss this yet, really. There is ONE more session on 26th Jan (6-9pm) & Merchant is opening it up for 60 more peeps! Check it out now @
www.SocialDeal.com.bn!

Till the next time, Brunei!
