TGIF : Today Got Indian Festival!
Happy Deepavali and Happy Holiday to everyone!
The moment you started working, public holiday like this is very precious. Treasured it and spent the rainy day at home packing, clearing emails and watching show online.
One week ago, on the 6th Nov 2012, I joined my group of blogger friends for a KTV session at Ten Dollar Club (Chinatown Outlet). Each of us only paid $12 to sing from 7.30pm to 12.00Mn and we are even entitled to free flow of hot and soft drinks. Super cheap and reasonable.
Rushed there after my work and luckily managed to find the place. It's located at 35A Smith Street 3rd Floor Singapore 058945. Smith street I know, cause it's the street with lots of foodies one. Yum Yum.
Another good point here is that they do not really make noise when we filled the whole table with outside food. Since we all rushed down from work, we actually didn't have a proper dinner. William was very kind to buy a mix of some snacks and I brought the leftover Char Siew Su from meeting too. So that's our dinner for the night. Haha. Of course, we have to clear the rubbish at the end ourselves and can't leave on the table.
The only downside of this place is that the remote control is rather insensitive. If you want to choose songs, have to walk to the front and use the touch screen monitor there. Halfway, the system even hanged and have to auto restart.
I find the songs selections quite okay too since I'm not very familiar and updated with the new songs, so I'm fine to sing older songs. Haha. Towards the end, even clubbing songs like Taio Cruz's Dynamite and super oldies like Dancing Queen were also sang by us. Haha. So fun with them around!
Zerika sang a song by Melody which I find it very nice. Below is the video of the song. Though it's not some new song but this is the first time I heard it and I liked it straight away.
Only William sang this super sad song by Jacky Cheung called Wo Zhen De Shou Shang Le. Scenes of Jerry Yan, Karen Mok and Jacky Cheung himself were flashed out in the MTV. Jessie then told us that they are actually scenes from a very old drama called "Love Scar". As she went on to tell us the storyline, I'm starting to get more interested about the drama. What's more Jerry Yan is so young and boyish inside. Super like.

So, I've finished watching Love Scar within one afternoon since it's only 3 episodes. This drama is based on a Japanese Manga also called Love Scar by Ichijo Yukari. Don't watch this on YouTube as it only show until episode 2.
Synopsis
"Time to meet the family... but what happens when your brother-in-law turns out to be your ex? She met Zi Lin (Jerry Yan) during a trip to Japan with her college friends 4 years ago. Love was unexpected, their age came between them. Giving into love, they remained together until his mother broke them up. She was Zi Lin first love, believing that she played him, he became a womanizer, taking revenge on all women yet never did she leave his heart. He was going to get her back no matter what. Even if it meant hurting his brother, especially after he found out the truth about his and Gen Sa's split. Zi Liang (Jacky Cheung) was heartbroken when he discovered that his brother was the one from her past. Consumed with guilt for causing the brothers, Gen Sha (karen Mok) leaves them both but the brothers are waiting for her to return when she is ready..."
I didn't cry after watching this drama. Just felt wasted for them. Again, it's another story of how the mum's interference cause hurts in a relationship of this three parties. There's no perfect happy ending to this drama since Karen Mok choose to leave both. I mean how can she be happy when the guy she loved is still Jerry Yan and Jerry Yan still loves her too but she still choose to leave? Maybe this is the best ending cause she don't want to cause more harm to Jacky Cheung. Sigh. I think they should just elope and start afresh according to Jerry's plan.

Anyway, this drama brings me back to a story which was shared during meeting on 19 Oct 12 and I hope I can did a great recap of it.
We are all very familiar with the story of Snow White, but this is a different version of Snow White. We all knew that the stepmother hated Snow White very much and there's a reason behind it.
Sometime back, there is this stepmother who had a very pretty daughter. They lived in a run-down and abandoned castle deep in the forest all by themselves after her husband died. The king lived in the castle in town with Snow White ever since his wife passed away. Stepmother tried all ways to get the king's attention as she wanted her daughter to marry good and have a good life.
One fine day, the king decided to bring Snow White out for a trip. Their carriage tripped over a stone and the whole carriage toppled. Unknown to the king, this is actually part of the stepmother's plan to get him to notice them. For shortly after, the stepmother and her daughter came to their aid and the king falls in love with the daughter.
Everything went according to the Stepmother's plan but she doesn't know that her daughter is already in love with the stableman and they had planned to elope that night. Snow White found out about it when she saw them packing and went to inform the stepmother about this plan despite promising the daughter that she wouldn't tell.
That night, the stepmother killed the stableman and forced the daughter to marry the king. Ever since that day, the daughter's heart died and has never been happy ever since. The stepmother realized this, blamed it all on Snow White for she is the one who informed her of their plan to elope.
Snow White's side: She struggled for quite long before she decided to inform the stepmother on her daughter's plan to elope. Her thinking was that, if her daughter really elope, then Stepmother and daughter would be separated for the rest of their lives. Beside, she thought that all mothers would definitely do everything that is good and beneficial for their daughters, so stepmother would also make the best decision and grant her daughter's wish to let her choose her lover instead of forcing her to marry the king. This way, all can be happily living together
Stepmother's side: Who knows stepmother's best decision is that her daughter has to marry the king in order to live a good life and not to suffer in poverty if she marry the stableman.
In the end, who to blame?
Morale of the story: What you think is correct may not be the same for others. There's always many sides of everything. Do not assume that people will think like how you think about things. Lastly, never break promises. If Snow White never break her promise to keep the plan to elope a secret, things would have been a different ending altogether.
