The Fad People

Farewell for now

2009-01-06T19:33:00.001+08:00

They say, "All good things must come to an end". The Fad People would like to thank all readers who have loved and supported us in this social media venture. With our graduation and starting of first jobs, this pet project would have to take a back seat for now.

For those who have believed in us since our tiny seed idea sprouted three years ago, we appreciate all the help, support and encouragement. For those who came on-board only later, your spontanity in wanting to create a social platform for young working adults with us has warmed the cockles of our hearts.

It was a bold move. A great dream. And this has been a wild, fun, memorable ride!

We look forward to the day when The Fad People would once again bring joy to everyone, and joyously bring everyone together.

For now, take care and see you soon!
