W-INNER.

W Talent, do you still remember 08-08-08?

We have decided to tell you the story of W-Inner as we are frequently receiving questions about the beginning of the W-inner blog!

Even though we celebrate our talent club anniversary on 08-08-08; W-INNER was actually operating independently and WoWing talents since April 2007. We began as part of the promotion campaign for the first ever mini-Olympics in April 2007 by printing single paged pamphlets which was then sent via e-mail or posted on noticed boards in Escape Area. There were 4 issues of these pamphlets issues; however, while designing our 2nd edition we came up with the idea for a blog. This idea seemed extremely viable as more people would be able to access it and blogs archive capability offered the perfect solution for eco friendly publication with the ability to access past articles for future references. Plus we had a limited time for pamphlet preparation and printing after work. Our Welcome Talent, Naadhu was the mastermind and co-founder Lirar from Finance. Then W-inner was the insider who brought the talents all the hot gossips and entertaining stories. Later, due to W-inners growing membership and influence, W-inner approached HR department to make it the official Talent Club and discontinue the Fun Club that was almost inactive at that time. That’s when 08-08-08 became the official inaugural date for W-inner.

Look out for more exciting gossips, insider stories, frequently asked questions to be published soon.

Turn out your light, show support for Earth Hour

In 2009 hundreds of millions of people around the world showed their support by turning off their lights for one hour. Earth Hour 2010 will continue to be a global call to action to every individual, every business and every community. A call to stand up, to show leadership and be responsible for our future. Pledge your support and turn off your lights for one hour, Earth Hour, 8.30pm, Saturday 27th March 2010.

It’s Showtime! Show what can be done.

Hi fellow Talented Talents, Let's not wait for the Earth Hour only! Let's not be too lazy to switch off our room lights, TV, AC when the room is empty. Not only our rooms TV, all the AC's and lights should be off during the time when we are not using our Nook. Talent Rooms, Nook and Escape Area is done! We also demand each and everyone who is working in our offices to shut down their computers, office lights, office AC's when all the offices are empty at the end of the day. Should we stop now? No way, W-INNER is going green supporting save the planet. We should not switch off just because of the Earth Hour. Instead, we have to make sure we switch off everyday. Every switch cost energy! The more we waste energy the more we are destroying our Earth!

Unique beat Big Brothers in a uniQue style

Unique City won today's friendly football match against Big Brothers in a uniQue style. Big Brothers dominated the first few minutes of the game and even scored their first goal by Yasir, but Unique came behind and level the score. The game changed its course few minutes after Unique level and scored 2 more goals back to back where we saw Big Brothers were unable to organize their team when Unique dominated in a uniQue way of style. First half ended 3 goals to 1 Unique leading the game. And it was a goalless as well as a physical game in the second half with few yellow cards from the match official. Way to go Unique City a well deserved win.

Wonderful Birthday - Shuja and Irushad!

Sneak Peek at the F&B Team Castaway @ Gaathafushi!

The F&B Team deserved this blast of an outing after the many months of hardcore teamwork whether on usual daily cooking and serving routines to the challenging culinary specials, functions, and events. They all had fun, of course! Now stronger in teamwork, and ready to give guests the wow experience of W promise.

Samos can run he proved it last night

in the picture: Samos stretching& those who came to witness his challenge

Normally one will say i can do this and that even if it they cant! But Samos is not like that, Just after dinner last night Samos came to Game Zone area and while having chit chats he said he can run around the game zone area for 45 minutes without stopping when he saw Yam jogging. Suddenly those who were there at that time Abbas, Ubachan, Irushad, Waseem and others clearly denied saying that would be impossible for Samos as he never play soccer or run even workout in gym. The whole conversation then went on and where Samos was so confident of what he said and others were even betting on it. Finally Samos said he will prove it after his duty around 12:15AM

Samos accepted the challenge against all his fellow talents and later send out a text message to all which says "Don't miss my magic show at court yard at 00:15am tonight". Wow, what a challenge and willpower from Samos! Many talents started gathering court area around 12:00am to see his 45 minute run saying it would be impossible and don't try to convince something you can't do. With all the challenges and against all his fellow talents Samos started stretching after a glass of water. In front of all gathered to witness this he started running on 12:15am, after that he never looked back or said a word before 47 minuts and 18 second. Abbas was checking the stop watch. Samos has done it and he has proved he can run even though others don't think he in good shape to make a 45 minutes lap. Well done Samos and W-INNER's Tip of the Hat Wag of the Finger goes to non other than Samos for his great challenge of 45 minute run.

Wonderful Birthday -- Ali!

Happy Birthday Ali, Special birthday wishes from F&B team. Have a very Hunchikilis b'day buddy!

Wonderful Birthday Indika

Never be forgotten

Yes. It will never be forgotten and will always be recognized. As we all have seen few days ago we had a fantastic fund raising event which touched so many lives of Haitians. and we have also seen the news spreading all around the world about the excellent job we done here on the small island in the middle of Indian Ocean. W Retreat & Spa Maldives means a lot’. We always do things different and we do things in style no matter what it is. We’re in it to Win it.
Yes it was remarkable event to help Haitians. But what about things we do to enjoy our self. “LET IT BE 09’ or 2009 Year End party. I was there when we did the preparation and guess what’ I was impressed too for what we managed to show our self after the final touch.

One thing you can never forget is every time you do an enormous job (let’s called it Excellent +), our management comes out and recognizes what you do. Likewise those who were on the front line of the above mentioned two events has been recognized last evening with the ceremony held at FIRE Restaurant hosted by our Complex General Manager Mr. David Martens. A letter of appreciation and certificates were handed over to each and every one who led their team and those who put individual efforts and the ceremony finished with the delicious dinner. This shows us our incredible TEAM work’ and I must say we could not have succeeded without our greatest ever HR team who always support our ideas and gives their full support.

Nope: these are not all of them. these are just few of them. you suppose to be there too.

Happy B'day Waddey

Munnawwar joins Little B Club

With the new changes brought in to the Little B Clubs management it seems like they're gearing up for the upcoming W Olympics tournament. For the first thing also they've shaken Touch Club where touch clubs most promising striker Munawwar quit and Joined LBC. According to Munawwar the reason why he left the club was lack of first team call up. "it seems like same people have to play every match for the touch club" Munawwar said to W-INNER. but few days back there was a rumor spreading that touch club is about to introduce their B Team.

We wish Munawwar a new career with Little B Club.

Daddy Yes.... Daddy Wish to be...!

* Daddies team won the game by 5-4 against wish to be dads team!

Style Department means everything in style and when they do something, others are always nervous to see them in style. Well well Style department organized a very nervous football match within the department in one side all the dads and the other side dads wish to be. The match was opened by complex GM David along with Support Club one and only member who was wearing a wish to be dad shirt. Ehem ehem if you must know what is Support Club and who is the only member in this club, its our Director of Operations Shaun who is always there to support us in everything we do and on this regard he is the Support Club to support all the other clubs.

Okay more about today's game, Yellow color shirt daddies started the game saying they will teach their fellow opposite team talent mates how to be a real dad even by a friendly game. But unfortunately within the very first few minutes wish to be dads scored. But Dads know how to raise their game and they came behind and kept on scoring. Today's nervous friendly match ended with a great victory to Dad's team by 5 goals to 4 goals against Dad who wish to be team. We advice Dad wish to be guys to get whatever experience you can from fellow Dads for the great journey ahead in your life. Thank you Style Department for always keeping us entertained. Nervous Yet? Oh Maybe...!

Major change in Little B Club's leadership

Breaking News: Reports are coming from Escape Area about a major change in Little Billionaire Club's leadership being changed after an extra ordinary congress last night where its former leader Hilmy has step down and appointed Hussain Ali as leader and Waseem as deputy leader. W-INNER is unable to meet its newly appointed leader yet however. we met Waseem the deputy and he has confirmed this change just now. Rumors are also coming from other sources that Big Brothers were trying to sign Hussain Ali to their club and for the last few days negotiations were almost agreed with Big B and Hussain. Many are questioning whether if this change of appointing Hussain as Little B's leader is because he was about to sign Big B. Let's wait for Little B club's official statement on this major change. Meanwhile, Tutu Heinz said he remain as Little B Club's Youth Committee leader.

W-INNER Meeting minutes

Lets meet and brainstorm about Earth Hour! Today 3rd March @ 17:00hrs
Naadhu, Lirar, Rizan, Boos & Narayan attended yesterdays meeting. General meetings notice was released on Green Room yesterday as well as it was published here on the website.
********
It was discussed to run an awareness program about SWITCH-OFF and save the planet.
Also highlighted how important it is to run an awareness campaign before earth hour starting as soon as possible with general information sessions to all talents with real statistics of numbers showing how much we use energy and how much we spend on energy which need to be always economized. Before 28Th Earth Hour we need to make a habit of switching off lights, air conditions, TV's etc when we are not using them. Also it was highlighted to design a standard poster to keep in each rooms door saying SWITCH-OFF.
Earth Hour will be on 28Th March from 8:30 to 9:30PM, we have decided to spend this hour in W Game Zone with candles and a small BBQ. For the whole Earth Hour, awareness programs we decided to take a task force team to drive this project. Maybe we can request from Talents if there is anyone who is interested to join and run a committee like this, What you say?
