THE FINAL SHOWDOWN:
GORDON RAMSAY VS SINGAPORE HAWKERS
Gordon Ramsay loses to Singapore hawkers at the Hawker Challenge, failing to beat our home team at laksa and chicken rice. Majulah!

HERO-TURNED-VILLAIN?
With a name like Batman bin Suparman, you’d expect a hero, but in reality, he was jailed for multiple counts of theft. Some say that ‘he was only in jail for training, like in the movie Batman Begins’.

CANCELLED CONCERTS
2013 was a year for disappointed concert-goers across a wide fan group.
