Story Synopsis:

As the boss of a flourishing furniture shop, Zheng Fa Cai (Zhu Hou Ren) is known to be a businessman who built up his business from scratch. He leads a blissful and peaceful life with his wife, Long Bao Yin (Lin Mei Jiao), and two children, Guo An (Darren Lim) and Xiao Yang (Jesseca Liu).

On the contrary to the Zhengs, life has not been smooth-sailing for Huang Mei Ling (Xiang Yun) and her family. Her good-for-nothing husband, Ah Nan (Liu Qian Yi) constantly badgers her for more money and often beats up both mother and daughter. Sick and tired of this nonsense, Huang finally decides to escape from home with her daughter Li Ping (Felicia Chin) to be free from Ah Nan’s clutches.

Due to a lack of proper upbringing, a brash Li Ping gave up on her studies and became an unwed mother. She lost all focus in life and idles her time away. With no proper job, Li Ping mixes around with bad company and can be often found at the pool parlour. To support her malingerer daughter and grandson, Mei Ling takes up two jobs and becomes the sole breadwinner of the family.

Young and wild, Li Ping finds her son, Olympic, a burden and often leaves him in the care of her neighbour, Lee Jia Cheng (Tay Ping Hui). He helps them with the responsibility of caring for baby Olympic and lessens the heavy burden of the Huang women.

When Li Ping discovered that Fa Cai used to be her mother’s first love, she begins to make use of his soft-hearted nature for her own benefit. She lands herself in hot soup and chalks up a debt. With nobody to turn to, she looks Fa Cai up and attempts to sell Olympic to him to solve her money woes.

Fa Cai mistakes Li Ping to be his daughter and cannot bear to see his grandson in the hands of other people. He arranges for Olympic to be adopted by Guo An but was initially rejected by the latter. Upon knowing that Olympic is his father’s grandson, Guo An decides to adopt the baby despite objections from his wife, Angelina (Apple Hong). Unwilling to comply, Angelina decides to walk out on the family, putting the couple’s relationship to a test.

Due to his haphazard working habits, Guo An starts to face difficulties at work. He is unhappy with his father’s trust in Jia Cheng and both father and son start to clash against one another, causing a crack in their harmonious familial relationship.

Jia Cheng has been working at Fa Cai’s furniture shop since he was 16 years old and has been carrying a torch for Xiao Yang. Due to his low financial status and inferior education background, he feels incompatible and does not dare to confess his feelings for her. Unlike Jia Cheng, Xiao Yang looks upon him as a brother and does not harbour any special feelings for him.

Xiao Yang runs a restaurant together with her boyfriend, Simon (Terence Cao). Unknown to Xiao Yang, Simon is also the restaurant’s landlord and she is shocked when she discovered that he has been trying to raise the rent of the restaurant. Simon maintains that they should keep their love life out of work matters and rationalizes his actions. Disappointed in his backhanded ways, Xiao Yang decides to part ways with him and focuses all attention on her business instead.

Unwilling to let Xiao Yang’s efforts go down the drain, Jia Cheng sells his house and buys over the shop space for her restaurant. Unable to see Jia Cheng lead a life in the doldrums, Li Ping stands up for him and informs Xiao Yang of everything Jia Cheng has done for her.

Touched by his feelings for her, Xiao Yang decides to try and date Jia Cheng. Despite his success in winning her over, Jia Cheng discovers that Xiao Yang is still deeply in love with Simon and rejects her good intentions. Both Mei Ling and Jia Cheng found out that Li Ping sold Olympic to the Zhengs. Both of them were sorely disappointed and with her actions and decide to give her the cold shoulder. In a bid to get closer to her grandson, Mei Ling becomes Olympic’s nanny in the Zheng household.

Guo An forces Angelina to take a break from work after the latter sustains an injury. During her rest, Angelina discovers that she is not indispensable to the company and realises that life is not all about working. With their newfound perspective on life, the couple reconciles back together again. Together with Angelina’s support and help, Guo An gains a deeper insight to his father’s actions and intentions, and mellows down. Upon seeing a change in his son’s mentality and attitude, Fa Cai decides to leave the company in his care.

Ignored by her own mother, Li Ping starts to regret for her actions after Bao Yin bars her from visiting Olympic. She decides to turn over a new leaf and begins taking on odd jobs to earn her own keep in hopes to redeem Olympic from the Zhengs with her own money.

After Bao Yin discovers Mei Ling’s past with Fa Cai, she leaves home in a fit. Ah Nan gets wind of the entire matter and thought that he’s being made a cuckold. He holds Olympic hostage and demands money from Bao Yin and Fa Cai while threatening Li Ping. Unwilling to put up with his demanding requests, Li Ping informs the police who eventually arrests Ah Nan. Mei Ling takes the opportunity to personally explain her part of the story to Bao Yin and proved to her that Li Ping is not Fa Cai’s daughter.

Although the misunderstanding has been cleared, Fa Cai can’t help but feel a sense of loss upon discovering that Olympic is not his grandson. At that moment, Angelina announces her pregnancy to the family, adding much cheer and joy to everyone’s surprise.

白薇秀嫌红星大奖太寒酸？

白薇秀认为，颁奖礼就是让艺人和嘉宾们盛装出席，打扮美美地走上红地毯。


白薇秀嫌本地红星大奖不够气派，不如艾美奖有红地毯和耀眼的镁光灯？

白薇秀日前在网上博客点评今年美国艾美奖（Emmy Awards）女星的服装，似乎也拿美国这场娱乐盛会和本地新传媒红星大奖作了一番对比。

她说，艾美奖好比红星大奖，然后解释道：“当你们嘲笑我大胆地拿两者对比前，我要说明，我这样说只是因为两个都是电视制作的颁奖礼。”

“颁奖礼就是让艺人和嘉宾们盛装出席，打扮美美地走上红地毯，被媒体拍照后，让当天的行头成为众人的讨论话题，然后尽情地进行派对。”

说到本地的红星大奖，她写道：“我们这里没有红地毯，或大批媒体和摄影记者争相要拍艺人的照片和作访问，但我们依然有美丽的服装，有的是借来的，有的特别裁订，有的还从外地送过来，之后我们还是有被拍照，所有服饰会在本地媒体上被讨论，一切都以较小的规模进行。”

针对她是否在指本地红星大奖寒酸，不够派头，白薇秀昨天接受《联合晚报》电访时，否认有任何贬低红星大奖之意：“我纯粹是要讨论艾美奖女星的服装！”

她说，只是希望读者对艾美奖比较有概念，即它和红星大奖一样，同属电视制作的奖项。

“但本地和好莱坞根本是不同的市场，面对不同的娱乐生态环境，不同文化，如果要比较派头是不公平的！”

白薇秀在博客中，列举艾美奖颁奖礼上她认为打扮出众的女星，其中对怀孕的德国名模Heidi Klum的打扮最欣赏，还笑说将来若挺着大肚子出席红星大奖，她就想作类似装扮。

广告时段换衣白薇秀：压力大

颁奖礼上得趁广告时段换礼服，白薇秀觉得压力大。

白薇秀说，红星大奖上，进场时穿一套礼服，接着得趁广告时段，赶紧换另一套，会让她压力很大。

“今年的红星大奖前，我并没有试穿第二套礼服，所以并不知道被安排穿两套礼服。”

她说，由于时间仓促，这种情况下，根本来不及好好在长镜子前察看自己，就得赶紧回到观众席座位，“同时还要准备在镜头扫过，捕捉你的表情时，要表现得倘然自若。”

“若服装若这时出现问题，就会被电视画面捕捉到或被拍到。”

穿T恤短裤拖鞋　白薇秀10岁呈献歌台处女秀。



白薇秀日前在博客上说，小时候根本不懂什么是歌台，但每逢中元就会跟着父母去凑热闹.


穿T恤、短裤和拖鞋，白薇秀10岁跑“处女歌台”秀！

她日前在博客上说，小时候根本不懂什么是歌台，但每逢中元就会跟着父母去凑热闹。

有一回她到住家楼下看歌台，还被老爸推上台去演场，她当时只穿T恤、短裤与拖鞋，就这样献出“第一次”。

白薇秀今早接受电访时笑说：“不过那不算登台表演啦，只能算是唱卡拉OK。”

她说，自己当时大概十或十一二岁，那天是穿着T恤、短裤和拖鞋去住家楼下的歌台凑热闹。“排场不大，跑台的艺人艺人很快就把歌唱完了。台主为了不冷场，当下决定把舞台‘让’给观众。”

白爸爸因平时常见到女儿在家喜欢跟着卡拉OK光碟唱，拼命怂恿她上台。“爸爸是觉得好玩，没想到我真的会上台，他后来也说觉得很惊讶。”

白薇秀说，自己幼稚园时就上台表演，小学还编舞，只是从未在众人面前亮喉。

不过她没多想，上台就叫乐队演奏陈淑桦的《我这样爱你到底对不对》，投入的唱起来。“这首歌我平时常听，还好唱的时候没有忘记歌词。我唱歌时，只看到爸爸在台下笑，他很开心。”
白薇秀说，童年对歌台的认识不多，直到前几年看了电影《881》，才了解艺人怎么跑台。

如今穿美美上台仍紧张

当年短裤拖鞋就能登台；如今穿美美，上台时还紧张；白薇秀要保留少女的“无知”幸福。

她说：“一个小女孩台上唱大人的情歌，现在想来自己当时一定很搞笑！”

她说自己没刻意往歌唱方面发展，但艺人兼备各种才华，总是多多亦善。

白薇秀笑说：“现在上台反而会有些紧张，怕自己唱不好，还要顾虑别人怎么看，蛮有压力的。”
