Under the cover of night, it is widely speculated that the remnants of the office met at a secret meeting and formulated a plan to denounce Mr Hew, who was currently out of town, like superheroes including superman, batman and ultraman.

The unpredictable world we live in













You can fool some people all the time, and all people some of the time, but you can’t fool all people all the time.

In the wake of growing publicity surrounding the much maligned blogspot Youareben's recent revival, another twist was added to the tale late last night when Zulian A Sausage, founder of Weewee Leaks - organization that publishes secret & classified media, shocked fans and neutrals alike by exposing the true identity of Youareben's guest editor Kenif Loi ZonAnn.

In what surely is the clearest indication yet that Weewee leaks is fast running out of news to leak, the identity of Kenif - long assumed to be a middle aged male from the financial industry who has also a curious mind and interest in subjects often debated in the blog - was confirmed by sources familiar with the matter within Weewee leaks that it is "completely not what it seems".


The authencity of this audacious claim is still unknown, but it is understood that Weewee leaks has in their possession cables containing high level exchanges between Kenif and his many layers of intelligence, including misrepresentative correspondence with the editors of Youareben, which will be released in days to come.

None of the editors could be contacted for comments at the time of reporting.

An Open Letter to Our Fans

Dear Fans,

We have received numerous emails and calls from you wanting us to share what exactly were we doing for the past year. After much deliberation, we have decided to disclose what had happened.


After Newcastle United was relegated in 09, one of us was extremely disheartened and attributed the failure of the club to this very blog. Hence, he decided to step out infinitely.


Feeling betrayed but ever determined to make this blog a success, I made the decision to promote the guest editor to the position of main contributor. However, the arrangement was short-lived. I was back on my own within 2 weeks.


A year after the debacle, the editors decided to visit Vietnam to salvage the situation (that was when we were spotted having difficulties crossing the roads). We came to an agreement that if Gary Neville was to break his leg or end his career abruptly midway through the season, we will revive this blog.


Fate has it that, Gary Neville did end his career. And yes, we actually hoped that he would break his leg too. So we are back. This time, it is for real. However, we have decided to transform this blog into one with a serious tone. We will not be posting senseless entries, nor we will flood this blog with TCS theme songs. We want to be a credible source of information and inspiration for Singaporeans.


We promise that we will be constructive. We will actively engage in debates with our readers. There will be no hidden agenda, and we are not aligned to anyone nor any organisation. We will not be soliciting for donations or advertisements to be placed on this blog.


Thank you for sticking with us even when you have nothing new to read from here. Perhaps, every entry here is a classic in your eyes. We appreciate your love and support. We will work doubly hard to repay everything you have given us.


We look forward to entertain you intellectually.


Yours Respectfully,
The Editors

Media Statement

We have received quite a number of comments from our readers that the blog has been relatively inactive for the past one year. In another words, they are not getting enough dosage.

We would like to take this opportunity to clarify that we are still very much committed to this blog and please be assured that our KPI is based on quality, not quantity.

However, if you do not agree with us, then we only have one thing to articulate : "We don't know what to say!"

Press Release: On the Recent Flash Floods

Singapore experienced one of the worst flash floods in recent memory when our shopping centres along some parts of Orchard Road were immersed in water after a heavy downpour. Hamburgers, overpriced coffee, designer bags and iphones were washed out from the shops. Apparently, someone once said that the rainwater will be flushed out before your coffee cools down. How untrue.


But seriously, this is not a national disaster. No lives were lost, and I do not think anyone was injured by the floating hamburgers. So what is the problem? Perhaps, we are so agitated to see Hermes bags are not waterproof at all, so we decided that this should be a national issue.


Come on, we are the table tennis world champion, never mind who won it for us. We should be celebrating successes, not lamenting on why dead leaves choke the sewage system. We can't even keep the toilets in the kopitiams clean, so is it a surprise to find dead leaves in the drains?


Just count ourselves lucky that we do not experience floods like those in Bangladesh that take away thousands of lives each year. All we had was a mannequin that made his escape from the flooded Massimo Dutti boutique.

Thank You Shawn


I first came to know about Shawn Michaels when I was 7. He was part of the tag team "The Rockers" along with Marty Jeanetty (the loser). He caught my attention when he sent Marty flying through the glass panel (I admit that I have secretly planned to execute the same move on my classmate in P1). From then onwards, he became one of my favourite wrestlers.


Not to mention, you formed the Degeneration X with HHH. Even though you were tasteless at times, you managed to make us laugh. However, Chyna was a bad inclusion.


Time flies. 20 years later, I was watching his final match at Wrestlemania 26, losing to The Undertaker (yes, the guy above in the banner). Although the match was scripted, I can feel that he really gave his all. All he wanted to do is to entertain the crowd, as he has always managed to so as the "Heart Break Kid."


Shawn, you have captivated the WWE Universe for the last 25 years. Even though you may not wrestle another match again, you will forever be the "Show Stopper" in my heart.


"Ladies and gentlemen, Shawn Michaels has left the building.'
