Good news fast food lovers! Wendy’s is back in Singapore. The first branch opened last Monday at Lao Pa Sat.
The Franchisee in Singapore is Kopitiam Group. Saw on newspaper report that they intend to open another 35 branches in Singapore over the next decade. And if possible, they will also operate 24 hours and [...]

Got to know Benjamin lately at Hackerspace Singapore. He is a pretty good singer and provided lots of entertainment during our Christmas party last friday.
I didn’t know he is a contestant for Singapore Idol 3. I don’t watch Singapore Idol anyway. And he was eliminated pretty early. Which is quite a pity. I think [...]

RIM recently launched the BlackBerry Bold 9700 (Or Bold 2 as some people call it) in Singapore. The Bold 9700 is an update to the successful BlackBerry Bold 9000.
