    <content type="html">Our 1st Anniversary is coming up soon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's amazing how much we went through...from&amp;nbsp;renovation problems, tonnes of red tape, snid comments from people who tell me how to run&amp;nbsp;a business when they have utterly zero experience themselves&amp;nbsp;nor will they have the guts to sink their money into an actual venture of their own&amp;nbsp;and prove our business model wrong, naysayers who criticize everything we do (again, set up shop and prove me wrong, wagging your f**king tongue is incredibly easy), people who&amp;nbsp;make empty promises to&amp;nbsp;industry snipes expecting us to drop dead from the get go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really would like to thank friends (and&amp;nbsp;customers turned good friends) for their constructive comments, their&amp;nbsp;loyal and repeat support&amp;nbsp;(you know who you are, the ones who always get fridge specials&amp;nbsp;or weird stuff shoved in front of you), nice corporate clients (thank you NTUC, SCCC) who believed in a company barely 7 months in existence, wonderful wholesalers whom that little bit of assistance has helped us go so far (you really don't know how much it means to us),&amp;nbsp; the generosity of&amp;nbsp;various papers and scribes who&amp;nbsp;afford us precious news space (particularly Michelle, Sheryl, Sheela, Marcus, big big thank you), our very understanding landlord, and, especially, &amp;nbsp;the various strangers who came into our lives, giving us opportunities, time, a listening ear, opening doors, all the while asking for nothing in return.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;nbsp;don't know if&amp;nbsp;I will ever be able to repay each and every one of you for&amp;nbsp;what you have given us, but we won't waste it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of the day, you can say whatever you want, but you can't say we didn't try our best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;P.S. To anyone expecting us to fail, FUCK YOU&lt;/font&gt;</content>
